Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Clone with quad-core Exynos 4412 CPU is just $160

We wondered just how long it was going to take for a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini clone to turn up, but didn't realise the knock-off version could offer a better spec than the real thing and at only a fraction of the cost!

As you all know, the real Samsung Galaxy S3 mini is a shrunken down version of the hugely popular S3 and as such features a 4-inch screen to keep the size down and a dual-core CPU and 5 mega-pixel camera to help keep the price to a minimum.

This Samsung Galaxy S3 clone from Rhythm Communication Technology CO. LTD follows a similar recipe but doesn't go as far with the shirking down. For example the screen is a slightly larger 4.5-inch unit and the hardware is almost on par with the full size S3!

Codenamed the S3 Mini quad-core, this Galaxy mini clone boast a 2 mega-pixel front camera, 8 mega-pixel rear, 1GB RAM and even a genuine Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core CPU!

As you can see from these the Antutu score is 16136 which is extremely respectable (if it turns out to be true).

The price is pretty special too with the S3 Mini reported to be going on sale for just 999 Yuan or $160 which is the same price as Beidou's Tegra 3 quad-core offering!
