I was wrong. If you’ve been following along with the strategy Samsung has been working with over the past year, you’ve noticed that they’ve been doing rather well the Samsung Galaxy S III as a single hero smartphone across the globe with no design compromises. They’ve just thrown that all away with the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. In a move that very well could have expanded the power of the Galaxy S III with a little cousin in the Mini, Samsung instead opted to tear off the skin and the nametag from the larger device and place it on a disappointingly low-level afterthought in this newer handset.

Galaxy S III Mini indicates Samsung’s hero strategy works

, Oct 10th 2012 Discuss [0]

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini has been confirmed, the first question you should be asking yourself is this: if the original was too big, will this device be just right? It’s exactly that that Samsung wants you to be thinking – even though the components inside this “Mini” version of the device may be rather different from the original, it really depends on your perspective whether or not you’ll accept the Samsung “Hero” branding that’s taking place here. It worked with the simultaneous launch of the Galaxy S III on multiple carriers in the USA with the same model and name intact – will the “S III” magic continue forth with another nature-toting smartphone?
