If you've been intrigued by the new mini-smartphone trend, but don't want to sign a 2-year contract to try it out, ebay is offering the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini for $214.99.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini started the familiar trend we're currently seeing in the smartphone world. Samsung loves to offer consumers a smartphone display in all different sizes and it knew some users might feel that the 4.8-inch Galaxy S3 screen was just too large. It shrunk down the flagship smartphone into a 4-inch handset that is virtually identical to the S3's design. The Galaxy S3 Mini brings many of the features found in the Galaxy S3 to a pocket-friendly smartphone that is easier to hold and operate.
