    If this is true that the price of samsung galaxy s3 mini in Europe is £298.80, when converted to philippines peso is P15,829.77 …. it is still expensive…. considering the freight,,,the freight from Korea to other asian countries is cheaper, than from Korea to U.S. and EUROPE. i conclude that it will be much more cheaper in the Philippines. thanks to Samsung for making this samsung galaxy s3 mini as midrange phone. it is specially made for the middle class people to experience the S3 capabilities in a cheaper price. More power to Samsung. i hope samsung will make a galaxy note mini also..lol (ness espiritu)

    di dapat lumanpas sa 15k ang price nitong s3mini,,, mababa yung hardware specs nya sa android 4.1 jelly bean,,, useless din yung project butter sa multi tasling ,, kailangan idisable pa yung mga animations…1gb lang kasi ang ram.. kaya nga nilakihan ng samsung yung sa s3 i9305,, ginawang 2gb ang ram.. nakita nila na medyo bumabagal yung s3 i9300 pag multi tasking na.. walang pinagiba sa widows vista tapos naka 1gb ram langkailangan disable yung aero.. di ba po sir/mam. .. parang yung jelly bean lang pinaka main weapon nitong galaxy s3mini at yun lang ang magpapamahal dito. eh, mas magan pa yung galaxy S Advance dito.. kaya diniscontinue ng samsung yung S advance ay ilalabas nila itong s3 mini. peace

    Convoluted model lineup it is, just like one commenter said. I simply cringe on the fact that Samsung’s a quantity seller now, trying to ship the most number of handsets for 4th quarter of the fiscal year. But then again, it’s “shipped”, who says it was “bought” by the end user ;-)

    The S3 Mini is inferior to the SII in all but Jellybean…

    They are riding on the S3 name and insulting the users in thinking this flagship stuff, when it is last year’s tech.

    I read a post that the S3 Mini beats the Apple iPhone …3GS…

    The original s3 is a device that’s flagship stuff, but the S3 mini is giving the S3 a bad name…
