Is it really worth? 5inch screen WVGA and that too at 21K. I don’t think so, they better had launched s3 mini in range of 10-12K
S3 mini at 10-12k lol…seriously wtf…samsung is not micromax…if u can’t afford s3 mini for say 25k den go buy micromax a110 at 10k!!!
I am amazed by your comment…i can’t stop laughing…poor u….need s3 mini at 10-12k….hahahahahaha
Stop laughing and realize how are these manufactures dominating the market with such huge prices. WVGA screen with dual core 1.2 Ghz and 1 GB Ram deserve this.
Nexus 7 cost 10K in USA and 20K in India.
Nexus 4 which has best screen, quad core, 2GHZ RAM and bigger screen than S3 mini costs 17-18k in US is not launched in India due to these manufacture monopolies.
Value your hard earned money or waste it laughing off. I don’t care its ur money 🙂
huge price? 21.5k isn’t huge for galaxy grand..it’s key selling point is its screen size…i know the resolution isn’t great…but u can’t expect everything at this price from a manufacturer like samsung…
why is nexus 7 selling in US for 11k? because it is sold via play store and google is subsidizing the price…
talking about nexus 4…it’s a great deal at $299 in us…but again why? because google is subsidizing it…
nexus 4 isn’t selling here because devices aren’t sold in india via play store….the fact dat lg can’t sell it at such a low price in india might have been the reason they didn’t launch it here…
manufacturer monopoly exists in US(where Apple dominates) not in india…
i LOVE value for money phones…but you can’t really expect s3 mini at 10-12k… SAMSUNG IS NOT MICROMAX…
PS-its 2gb not 2ghz…RAM is measured in megabytes and gigabytes
Sorry for typo.. Google is not offering in India might because of strong presence of Samsung in India (monopoly & wide range) compared to other countries.
Apple doesn’t have monopoly but loyal (fool rich) people who will spend anything for apple. This is not monopoly.
Whatever may be the reason, Apple rules in USA…and it enjoys its monopoly over any other manufacturer in mobile+tablet business!!
If you don’t know what monopoly is, don’t speak about it! Get your facts right!
What the hell? You want S3 Mini at 12k!!! Pathetic…go n buy micromax at that price. It deserves you
lol…you made me laugh for whole day
i totally agree with you 😀
lol.. i have my nexus one & nexus 7. I pity on you guys who cannot demand right worth value for hard earned money.
Have a look at this comparison with 3 years old Nexus One, and still think S3 mini shouldn’t come within 12k
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3069&idPhone2=5033
you are comparing 1GHz dual core cortex a9 with out dated 1ghz cortex a5 scorpion
and out dated adrino 200 with MALI-400..and jelly bean touchwiz nature UX with froyo2.2 os…lol……i cant stop my laugh….
I can’t believe this guy…
FYI
3.7inch is smaller than 4inch
1ghz dual core a9 cpu is any day better than 1ghz single core a5
mali400(single core in novathor u8420/u8500 wins hands down against adreno 200
super amoled is better than amoled
480p recording is lower than 720p
i am tired of writing these comparisons..you can yourself read the link you posted…
god bless this guy!
lol.. and u think this small upgrades worth 21k where quad core is more than a year old.
so, tell the shop name etc etc….where u purchased ur nexus one at 12k.
i think it is the used second hand phone, that’s why u bought it at that price. lol……
so u want bigger upgrades haan..like a quad core cpu, super amoled hd screen etc etc at 21k??? you are simply insane!!!
who will buy s3 then???
just beacuse you can’t afford, doesn’t mean it is overpriced!!
By the way good news for you-micromax a116 has a quad core cpu at 15k!! go buy it and stop dreaming about samsung!!
