Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini to debut next week?

Suspicious invite, excellent translation (credit: Unwired View)

Samsung's rumoured Galaxy S3 Mini handset could launch as early as October 11.

The tech giant's German branch has begun inviting press to an event on October 11 to see something that Google Translate tells us means "As large and small can be so small can be big."

Luckily we have a German native in the office so we asked her instead. The flier proclaims, "That's how big small can be."

Fun with languages

The latter translation makes a lot of sense because the words are in a structurally acceptable order, but also because the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is rumoured to be not all that mini after all.

With a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen it would only be 0.8-inches smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S3's screen so, if true, the Mini-moniker is a bit of a misnomer.

Other rumoured specs include a 5MP camera and a price-tag of significantly less than the iPhone 5. We'd also say a lower-power processor and slightly less lovely back are a given.

Still, we won't know for sure until Samsung makes whatever it's unveiling official on October 11 and until then we have a couple of reservations - why a paper invite? And why is the invite so creased? (It's an excellent way to hide some shoddy Photoshop work.) And why haven't we got one yet?
