Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 launches in the UK

Samsung sends word that its diminutive entry-level smartphone, the Galaxy Mini 2, has launched in the UK. The phone's 3.27-inch HVGA screen and 800MHz CPU is certainly a far cry from the specs found in the company's latest flagship. But as we discovered during our hands-on time at MWC, it's a well-built and relatively speedy entry-level phone that feels great in the hand. It's definitely a solid improvement over last year's Galaxy Mini.

A cursory glance over a few online retailers reveals SIM-free prices of around £150, which isn't at all bad for this kind of handset. The Galaxy Mini 2 is also due to appear on-contract from T-Mobile and Orange in the UK.

  • Pretty sad (for Apple) when a 3.27" Android device is considered mini while a 3.5" iPhone is considered acceptable.
  • This phone is a POS. Samsung should focus on making phones that are worth buying. They should stop making phones like this freaking mini that only tarnishes their brand.
  • Kind of expensive compared to US carriers.
  • I would like to see a 3.7 inch with kick butt specs. I would bet that size device would sell like crazy. I have several phones many have the large size screens, I find myself breaking out my Nexus One just because I like the way it feels in my hand. I also have all the accessories for it but If companies would build another Nexus One with some killer, I mean KILLER specs it would sell like wild fire. Not everyone wants the super size phone.
