    Too big for a mini, but hey. Lack of NFC on non-LTE models is disappointing - and a minor point against rivals I expect. Bet they won't bring the LTE model here

    Yeah but my hands and pockets stopped growing some time ago..

    Any info on screen res?

    LTE is rubbish over here, as exclusive to EE at the moment, but I am interested in NFC.

    It is not a 720p screen so good for battery life, bad for gloating down the pub.

    Purely depends on the price for me. If they launch it as a mid-budget phone, it looks like a decent handset.

    Re: News - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is officially unveiled

    They launched the s3 mini for around £300. Im presuming they will do the same for this one if not abit more expensive. I was considering getting the s3 mini but might just wait for the reviews on this before I decide.

    As said the biggest difference for me with the Mini's is the screen quality...

    Samsung are going to clean sweep the place with this.

    Not LTE- nor is nexus 4 but it is doing good numbers.

    The nexus 4 is a in a completely different (better) class than this. Quad core, NFC, high-res display... And the S4 mini might even be more expensive than a Nexus 4

    I've just ordered a Nexus 4 actually. This was the final decider after comparing them. The N4 is just too good value for money to pass up.

    Indeed. But I don't care about that.
    However 960x540 on a 4.3" screen isn't enough for me.
    Having been dissapointed with the GSIII's AMOLED 720p screen at whatever size it is, and using the Missus' phone which is 4.3" 950x540 I see value in 720p at this size.
    Not enough to tempt me off my SIM only contract and my HTC Desire S with an equally low pitch display.

    What was the resolution on the s2.. is this better than that?

    I used to use an s2 and for me the resolution was fine on Gingerbread 2.3.

    I'd be pissed if I was on stock software and see this phone come out with JB on it and my S3 still being left out in the cold. Its like they employ two programmers only for their entire Android division. how much price Samsung I9190 Galaxy S4 mini
