    Compare this with the full-fat Samsung Galaxy S3 at 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6mm, weighing 133g and with a 14.8 inch screen.

    That is a big screen...

    to be popular among Samsung Galaxy fans with smaller fans.
    Since when do people utilize fans instead of hands?

    Re: News - Samsung unveil Galaxy S III mini, compact flagship smartphone

    Shouldn't you be saying the Galaxy S3 Mini was unveiled yesterday instead of just saying the Galaxy S3? Also as already mentioned, I think you meant to say fans with smaller hands, not fans with smaller fans haha

    This kiddo is too expensive for what it offers. Might as well wait for Xperia TL http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=5015 that should land in about the same price range, or go with Xperia T that's already out.

    I think the S2 would be a good alternative to. Sony phones can usually do some lovely photos but the videos on these high end samsungs are lush! I've not been very impressed with the video quality on these xperias. Though I'm not sure I've seen videos from the one you linked...

    TL isn't out yet but it will be the LTE version of Xperia L with a few minor changes. I'm using Sony phones quite often (and sammy ones) and I only had complaints about image & video quality on low end Sony models. I actually don't like Samsung's over-processing of photos and videos. Photos on sammies look like they've been put through high profile Imagenomic Noiseware Professional filter, removing noise quite effectively but in turn lacking on fine detail. Videos aren't processed so much for obvious reasons phones simply aren't fast enough, but they still tend to look like they use some temporal cleaning filters and the colours are too lush for my taste. My verdict would be they're equal in terms of IQ, with Sony using higher density sensors (higher resolution images but slightly more noise). I don't like the JPeG compression levels at neither. If I had to choose a phone for the camera, it would be Nokia

    fair enough man. i know what you mean about the samsung images, moving or still. they are quite smooth and vibrant but i personally like that a lot it's also something you can easily adjust afterwards without needing to be knowledgeable in editing software, if you wish to change it. i personally prefer the image detail in the samsungs than the sony's so far. either way, i've got my s3 and i'm loving the videos and photos on it

    Glaxy S3 should have been smaller so now they realised this thing to make more money out of us.

    It is a natural upgrade for any Galaxy Ace users.
