The "Mini" portion of Samsung's lineup is
squarely aimed at the budget market. It's strange, then, to see two
new
phones that are (at least in some respects) a generation apart launch on
the same carrier on the same day. Verizon has done just that: the Galaxy S III Mini is now available starting at $49.99 ($249.99 without a contract) and the Galaxy S4 Mini is $99.99 (a full $399.99 contract-free). Oh, and both of them have the Verizon logo of shame on the home button.
Between the two, the Galaxy S III Mini
is probably a better choice for the smartphone buyer on a budget. The
specs aren't anything to write home about: 4" 800x480 screen, 1.2GHz
dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage plus SD card, and a 5MP
rear camera. But then again, the Galaxy S4 Mini
isn't going to win any specification showdowns either. It's got a
larger and denser 4.3" qHD screen, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP
rear camera, and an extra half-gigabyte of RAM, but the storage and
Android version (4.2.2 plus TouchWiz) are the same. Both phones can use
the ISIS NFC wallet app, if you really must have it.
So why do I recommend the S III Mini over the S4 Mini? Well, the
off-contract price is $250, which is about as low as you're going to get
for a new Verizon smartphone. But you're going to get something
on-contract, you might as well skip both of them and go for the Motorola DROID Mini,
a great little device with solid software and 2GB of RAM, which has the
same $50 contract price as the S III Mini and the same $400
off-contract price as the S4 Mini. Just my two cents.
If you've got your heart set on a diminutive Galaxy, both the S III
Mini and S4 Mini are on Verizon's website now. They should be showing up
in retail stores today as well.
