Galaxy S4 Mini - a smartphone for everyone

Galaxy S4 Mini is the performance version of S4, but cheaper and smaller in size, thus becoming a smartphone as powerful as it, but more affordable. It has a screen of 10.9 cm, about 4.3 inches, and therefore it is still much bigger than the previous S3 mini version, and it will be launched sometime in June this year, without so far knowing exactly when.
The just released S4, according to official sources within the South Korean company, has sold in over 10 million units, representing a record volume of sales.

Criticism received by the last year's S3 mini version was that it was not strong enough and powerful, so Samsung has not much to gain with that mini release, now, with the new mini release which will take place this month, the south korean is experiencing some emotion.

This mini version will have a 8 MP rear camera and a mini dual core 1.7 Ghz processor, which might cause critics to argue that this version will not be anything but a downgrade, it remains to be seen! Anyway, it will be cheaper and more afordable for everyone.

After the long awaited release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, the south korean company prepares for those interested in its mini version, a big surpise, according to information we have so far, it will be launched next month. The initial launch was to take place earlier, but the South Korean company is experiencing some difficulties in producing memories for the widest range of devices that it has on sale.

Recently appeared photos of this model show that it will have a screen of 4.3 inches, the mini version following the last year tradition that had great success with S3 Mini. The motivation for this mini versions release is to provide the opportunity to enjoy the best and unique features of this amazing device for as many types of buyers at lower prices.

Coming soon: Samsung Galaxy S4 Active and Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

Today we had another good news coming from Samsung : the just launched Samsung Galaxy S4 will be followed this summer by an improved model that will be water resistant and dust resitant, according to the Wall Street Journal. According to this specific source, this model will be named Galaxy S4 Active and we are expecting to be launched in aproximately 3 months, maybe in July.

Samsung official representatives confirmed two weeks ago, during the launch of S4 version in Dubai, that they would launch such a device, but they did not specified any release date, specs, other features or names for it. So far we only know that it will have the same design like S4, but it will have a highly resistant casing which will offer a good protection against dust or even water, imagine what applications could have such a device.

Gadgets resistant to harsh conditions like water, cold, dust, etc. are not a new idea, the Android operating system by other  models launched by Sony, Motorola or Samsung, but all those were low end or mid range versions, not as highly performantm as those from galaxy series.

With the launch of Sony Xperia Z, the interest for increasing the resistance of those high tech smartphones with high prices and resistant casing designed to protect from extreme enviromental conditions was an innovation in the field. Other major companies had also announced that future versions will follow this lie and will focus more on sustainability.

In addition to this, the same official source from the Wall Street Journal says that the South Korean company is working at this time for releasing a mini version of this S4 just released model, most likely this will be the expected Mini model, which will offer a screen with 4.3 inches and the latest tablet with a 8 inches screen.

Thus the year 2013 promises to be very lively for the south korean company with an impressive amount sales, which will strengthen its leadership position for the smartphones and tablets segment.

Verizon release date for Samsung Galaxy S4

So far Verizon has confirmed that it will have release data for this smartphone in early May, so anyone interested in this very powerful device will wait only a few days until finally will have this last generation device.

Compared with other competitors carriers, Verizon has chosen to provide very little information about this smartphone with 5 inches display and 1080p resolution. This was the Verizon's strategy until yesterday when officially confirmed they will have in early May this very powerful smartphone, on the official Verizon website there is even a section where interested buyers can ask for more details.

However, up to now, pre-order from Verizon are not yet available for Samsung Galaxy S4, while other sites like Amazon has preorders for more than a week.

3 other competitors carriers : AT&T, U.S. Cellular and Sprint have this smartphone on pre-orders at the moment, while another large carrier, T-Mobile, is satisfied with the announcement that on April, 24th, will have the release date for Galaxy S4, possible before the other major carriers.

So far at T-Mobile release date is April 24th, April 27th at Sprint and April 24 th at AT&T.

This means that Verizon would be the last carrier to offer this smartphone since announced that this will happen in the first days of May.
 Other rumors also say that in the same period at Verizon will reach other high performance smartphones like HTC One, Lumia 928 or Even Motorola X, so competition has just begun.

Latest rumors about Samsung Galaxy S4 release date in U.S. and his little brother, the newer Galaxy S4 Mini

We already know that this smartphone will be available in 3 versions depending on the storage capacity, thus having a 16 GB capacity storage, a 32 GB one or even a 64 GB version, but more important is the fact that this amazing smartphone will have tracking and security features incorporated, which can help the buyers to detect the stolen devices, feature which works just like those from Apple, called Find My iPhone.

Samsung has taken this idea but had implemented it a more efficient, by signing a collaboration with Absolute, who designed the software that enables tracking of a laptop, for example, so this smartphone was built by the latest technology standards.

Another strength of this high performance smartphone is given by the wide range of accessories that you have when preorder it, like accessories for monitoring the health of buyers, to measure the pulse, blood pressure, weight or even accessories for wireless charging, as smartphone is equipped with a wireless charging dock without the need to connect a cable to charge it.

Most major carriers will have until the end of this month the release date for this latest generation smartphone, AT&T will begin taking preorders on April 16th.

According to the latest rumors, is preparing the launch of Samsung Galaxy Mini, which will have a tiny little screen, and close to the specs of the Galaxy S4, so we know it will also have a super AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 4.3 inches and a resolution of 960*540 pixels, with a dual core 1.6 Ghz  processor, with a 8GB or 16GB storage capacity.

However, judging after our experience with previous versions, this mini version is for those who want to benefit from newest technologies incorporated in the Galaxy S4, but has a slightly smaller budget that allows them only buying the little brother in this series, largely benefiting from the same features like the S4.

AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and U.S. Cellular offers for Galaxy S4 and HTC One

Although the release dates for the two smartphones are coming, we don't know all the details about them, both still keeping secrets until the day of them release. However, AT&T was the carrier that provided the most information on both smartphones, HTC has started to take preorders for HTC One even before its release date. It will be available in the 32GB version for just $199, while the 64GB at AT&T will have a price of about $299, and the official release date is April, 19th.

Instead, at AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available in two versions: the 16GB version and the 32GB version for that price will be $199, respectively $249, and preorders can be taken by the carrier since April, 16 th, so only three days before his opponent.

At Sprint, the data are broadly similar to those from AT&T, the U.S. carriers are not too interested in smartphones from Samsung with 64 Gb and at Sprint too the opponent will get ahead of Galaxy S4 with the data release.

U.S. Cellular and Verizon have not yet confirmed many details about the release dates, prices, specifications or plans, but probably the releases date will be the same, it remaines less than 10 days until the release data on almost all carriers from U.S., among them already existing a fierce competition in terms of preorders.

S4 and Galaxy S4 Mini

According to many rumors, this week Samsung will launch Samsung Galaxy Mini S4, and after the great success that Samsung Galaxy S4 is already having after its launch, I expect Galaxy S4 Mini to enjoy the same success.

All the same rumors give two versions for Galaxy S4 Mini, the younger sister of the Galaxy S4: a version dual SIM and other version single SIM. Dual sim version will likely have a diagonal of 4.3'', a resolution of about 960x540 pixels and a pixel density of 256ppi.

In terms of performance it will be have about 1 GB RAM, a 8 MP camera and a 1.6 GHz dual core processor. Operating system that will run on this younger brother of just-launched Galaxy S4 will be the well known Android 4.2.2, the famous Jelly Bean.
