The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO), a leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, is unveiling the Galaxy S III mini, a compact version of the flagship smartphone Galaxy S III, on Jan. 26.

The Galaxy S III mini brings the high-performance, intuitive ease-of-use and nature-inspired design of the Galaxy S III to an elegant, compact smartphone with a four-inch screen.

“The Galaxy S III introduced a new concept of smartphone that has proven hugely popular around the world. We are now delighted to bring its revolutionary design, intuitive usability and intelligence to the Galaxy S III mini in a more compact form,” said Coco Domingo, product marketing head of SEPCO Mobile.

“We continue to make every effort to provide extraordinary mobile experiences to meet a wide variety of user needs,” Domingo added.

The Galaxy S III mini is powered by Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the latest version of the world’s most popular smartphone operating system. Jelly Bean has fast, fluid and smooth graphics along with a new Google Search experience featuring Google Now, which brings you just the right information before you even ask.

Stylish and compact, the Galaxy S III mini shares the Galaxy S III’s breakthrough design and simple elegance. Its ultra-minimal curved frame delivers a rich natural feel, which is also reflected on its nature-inspired home screen, wallpapers and ringtones.

Its four-inch Super AMOLED display offers a generous viewing experience that lets you view multimedia and Web content in brilliant color and clarity. Its compact size gives users a comfortable grip and allows a convenient one-hand operation.

The Galaxy S III mini also understands your gestures to make using your phone easier and more natural: With Smart Stay, the phone’s camera tracks your eyes and keeps the screen lit as long as you are looking at it.

When reading a text message from a friend, Direct Call enables you to automatically dial a call simply by lifting the phone to your ear; and Smart Alert conveniently alerts you to missed calls or messages as soon as you pick up your phone.

Another notable feature of the Galaxy S III mini is the Pop Up Play which allows you to play a video anywhere on your screen while simultaneously running other tasks, eliminating the need to close and restart videos when checking new e-mails and text messages or surfing the Web.
