Remember Project J, the codename that apparently covers not only the Galaxy S4 but a few other Sammy devices too?
Well, it looks like J may be ramping up as SamMobile today published pictures that purportedly show the Galaxy S4 mini, or the shrunken version of Samsung's new flagship phone.
The mini, S4 and something called the Project J Active - likely a smartwatch-like device - all make up the Project J trifecta.
It's thought that the smaller phone will be launched in June or July, though other reports have its release as a month after the Galaxy S4 goes on sale. The S4 is slated for an April 26 arrival.
Mini time
While its big brother houses a gorgeous 5-inch Super AMOLED display flushed with 441ppi to show off all those gimmicky new features, the S4 mini sounds as though its screen will be a slighter 4.3 inches with just 256ppi.
The display's material is marked as Super AMOLED qHD and it's reportedly home to a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, markedly less cores than the 1.9GHz quad-core destined for the U.S. version of the regular S4.
Android 4.2.2 with TouchWiz is thought to be the OS juice running through the mini's circuits, bringing the skin in line with what the larger Galaxy is packing.
We've had no word from Samsung on the existence of a smaller follow-up to the S4, but these pictures make us wonder if a miniaturized announcement isn't too far off.
