A UK retailer has confirmed the UK release date of Samsung’s Galaxy S3 Mini

The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will be available in the UK from November 8, Know Your Mobile can reveal. 

Expansys just confirmed the news, informing us that the white Galaxy S3 Mini will be available from November 8. A blue version of the handset will follow later in the month – ‘around’ November 23, says to the retailer. 

There is no word on whether Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S3 Mini in any other colours apart from white and blur. The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, as you may well know, now come in a variety of colour styles, including brown. Yep, that's right: a brown smartphone.

Despite sharing the Galaxy S3 name, the S3 Mini isn’t quite as impressively equipped as its stablemate. It has a dual core 1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM and options for 8GB or 16GB of storage plus MicroSD up to 32GB.

The display is a 4-inch Super AMOLED and the device features NFC, a 5-megapixel camera, VGA secondary and a 1,500mAh battery pack. All this runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Vodafone has also posted details of its tariff for the handset, which you can get for free as part of a £25 per month contract. 

Orange and O2 are similarly pricing their deals at £26 and £27 per month respectively.
