Alleged Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Spotted in the Wild

The Galaxy S4 might be too big, and the Galaxy S III might be too old. If you suffer from this Goldilocks dilemma, Samsung will probably come out with a cure soon, maybe even as early as June/July. And it was only a matter of time, too, because the very same thing happened last year.

An alleged Galaxy S4 Mini has been spotted in the wild and it’s certainly smaller than what was announced earlier this month. Even though Samsung has promised S III users the S4’s features will come over to the older device, the company seems more than happy to heap more Galaxies upon the world.

Here are the supposed specs, according to SamMobile: a Super AMOLED qHD display (256 ppi), a 1.6GHz dual-core CPU, TouchWiz Nature UX 2.0 and Android 4.2.2. Additionally, the device may sport dual-sim slots, so, you know, you can rock two phone numbers.

The device itself looks identical to the S4, which is expected—just smaller and no doubt aimed at the lower-tier market. Time to move over, S III.

In addition, we received a number of different iPad mini back plates with the best quality being these from case maker Devicewear.

Since the beginning of the 2012 London Olympics last month, Apple has been giving away a rotating set of 4 Great Britain-themed lapel pins each day. This isn’t a new thing for Apple, as the company gave out similar Canadian-themed pins during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

For the Olympics this year, the pins are tiny black and white iPhones and iPads. Cult of Mac reader Andrew Wingert sent in some shots of Apple’s full pin set.
