Samsung Galaxy SIII mini, the budget and smaller variant of the record breaking Samsung Galaxy SIII is now available in India. Samsung officially has not launched in India yet but the device is available from the grey market for around Rs. 18,000.

Samsung Galaxy SIII mini measures 121.6 x 63 x 9.9 mm and weighs in at 111.5 g.

Galaxy SIII mini was launched back in October 2012 but has never announced for India even the Samsung representatives didn’t comment on its arrival.

The 4-inch display of the device when comparing to the flagship surely makes it a mini but actually is not that small for regular usage. The overall design is entirely based on the former SIII and it should be after all its Galaxy SIII mini.
