Samsung's Galaxy S 4 Mini is finally coming to America next month. First announced back in May, the budget smartphone features a similar design to the Galaxy S 4 but "shrinks" the device from a 5-inch screen to a 4.3-inch screen.

Don't get too confused by the name. This phone is not a tiny version of the Galaxy S 4; it just offers "some of the Galaxy S 4 experience," meaning that the software and exterior design are the same. Spec-wise, it's a much lower-end phone than the full-sized S 4, with a miniscule 960×540 resolution, 1.7GHz dual-core processor, and 1.5GHz of RAM. (The full-sized S 4 has a 1080p screen, 1.9GHz quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM.) Hopefully the smaller phone will lead to a smaller price tag, but pricing information has not been announced yet.

If you're interested, Samsung has provided a full spec list:
