The itsy bitsy version of the wildly successful Samsung Galaxy S3 will be announced tomorrow at an event in Germany, confirms Samsung.

The highly talked about Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will sport a smaller 4-inch screen, a screen resolution of 800×480 pixels, along with a rear 5-megapixel camera. It is believed that a 1GHz dual-core STE U8420 chip will power the Galaxy S3 mini and feature 16GB of flash memory with an expandable MicroSD card.

"There's a lot of demand for a 4-inch screen device in Europe. Some may call it an entry-level device, but we call it 'mini'," says Samsung mobile chief JK Shin.

No additional details were released yet but the new device is not expected to be an entry-level device and will likely pack the very same features as its larger 4.8-inch sibling.

Samsung sold 20 million Galaxy S3 smartphone in the first 100 days after its launch.
