Samsung confirms 4-inch Galaxy S III Mini to be unveiled tomorrow

There were rumors earlier this month that Samsung had a mini, 4-inch version of its flagship Galaxy S III device in the works when the press received invitations to an event including the words “something small will be really big.” According to a report from Engadget, citing a translated Korean news story, Samsung’s Mobile chief JK Shin has confirmed a 4-inch S III is to be unveiled tomorrow in Frankfurt, Germany. Engadget later confirmed with Samsung PR, and the image above comes from MobileGeeks.de (which also provided the specs below). According to Samsung PR, it sounds like the device will indeed have the “Mini” branding:

“we’ll unveil the 4 inch Galaxy S III Mini in Germany on October 11th.”

We cannot confirm the accuracy of the below specs from MobileGeeks, but we will find out for sure tomorrow and bring you updates following Samsung’s announcement. The site also suggested its source pegged a 399-Euro price tag before taxes and subsidies:
