It has been already three months since the official announcement of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+. Both the phones really impressed the audience with an edge-to-edge Infinity display and top-notch specs. However, Samsung is looking for something new, and we might see a smaller version of the Galaxy S8 in the form of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Mini.

Although Samsung is already said to be working on the Galaxy S8 Active; the device will be limited to the United Status. With the Galaxy S8 Mini, Samsung is looking for a compact flagship phone, which would be released globally. It’s been a while since Samsung released a mini version of the flagship phone.
Previously, the South Korean giant used to release smaller versions of the flagship phones for fun. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S5 came in one variant; then there’s the Galaxy S5 Neo, Galaxy S5 Mini, etc. That said, the Galaxy S5 Mini was the last compact flagship offering from Samsung, and it was released in 2014.
Starting with the Galaxy S6 lineup, Samsung started releasing an Edge (Galaxy S6 Edge) variant of the flagship phone, alongside the original flagship. The Edge variant was killed recently in favour of the Plus (Galaxy S8+) variant.
According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy S8 Mini variant will be released ‘very soon’ in South Korea, the company’s homeland. The S8 Mini will have the same design as its bigger siblings but comes with downgraded specifications under the hood.
