After hearing that the Galaxy S3 would get a mini sidekick, it did not take long for Samsung to burst our bubble of excitement – especially after several leaks revealed that the Galaxy S3 Mini would only be packing a dual-core CPU clocked at 1GHz. This led to our assessment of just how big of a disappointment the 4-inch phone was turning out to be.
You see, we were hoping that Samsung would not dilute the Galaxy S3 name by equipping the smaller variant with a quad-core Exynos CPU or something similarly fast. What we got instead was a phone that aesthetically looks similar to its bigger sibling, but sorely lacking in the specs department.
With Samsung being rather coy about the processor that the Galaxy S3 Mini uses, chip maker ST-Ericsson has confirmed that the Mini is powered by its NovaThor ModAp CPU, which integrates “the modem and application processor on a single die.”
The NovaThor processor is no stranger to some Samsung phones, such as the Galaxy S Advance. This is also the same chip that powers several Xperia phones, namely the U and P series.
Regardless of the chip that’s used by the phone, the strength of the branding alone sort of guarantees that the Galaxy S3 Mini would be a big hit among buyers. But we just can’t help to want moar. Oh well, at least it runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
