Rumors of Samsung Galaxy S8 mini point to 5.3" screen, Snapdragon 821 chipset

03 July 2017
There hasn't been an S mini since the Galaxy S5 mini from 2014. And that wasn't much of a flagship.

    Hopefully the galaxy s8 mini is priced at 399$ max, since the regular S8 is constantly reduced to 499$ since its launch.

      Anonymous, 03 Jul 2017A phone from Samsung is never good value for money!I'm afraid your are mistaked. . .Here in Portugal, an used S5 (SM-G900F) costed about 180€ last year and now it costs about 170€, so its value has decreased only 10€! The only thing I think Samsung should do is optimize their software, like OnePlus and Apple do. I do also think they sell their phones a little bit overpriced, but when you buy a Samsung you buy a reliable phone with a great hardware quality. The Note 7's battery was just 1 mistake, like everyone mistakes. Overall, I like Samsung.

            Look at their sizes. . .now, here in Portugal, if the S8+ costs 919€ and the S8 costs 819€, then the S8 mini will probably cost 719€. However, I think Samsung should launch the S8 mini with the new Snapdragon 660 and put a price no more than 619€ here.

              GreeFone Store, 04 Jul 2017S8+ 6.2inch = feels like 5.5inch iPhone 7Plus size S8 5.8i... moreAbsolutely not. Not even in the same league.
              iPhone 7 is 138 mm tall. S8 is 149 mm tall. S8 is significantly larger.
              iPhone 7 top edge of the screen is 121 mm from device bottom edge.
              S8 top edge of the screen is 141 mm from device bottom edge.
              Full 2 cm further than iPhone 7.

              S8 feels like iPhone 7 Plus.
              iPhone 7 Plus is 158 mm tall. Top edge of the screen is 140 mm from device bottom edge, putting it right into usability of S8.

                  Hopefully, the S8 mini will be real. We have had rumours of S6 mini & S7 mini but alas nothing has materialised since the S5 mini.

I am guessing that, if this unit sees the light of day and is a success, then next year, we will see a mini S9, with another rumor mill item: the Snapdragon 836. Seems possible, considering that Apple and Sony make sub 5 inch units.

                                  S8+ 6.2inch = feels like 5.5inch iPhone 7Plus size

                                  bigger, better in a smaller bezel framing.
