Samsung unveiled the scaled-down variant of its former flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S4, back in May, 2013, and a couple of months later the handset was available to purchase in the U.K. from several retailers for £399.99. However, if you haven’t had the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up before now, it may be of interest to you to know that the popular online retailer, Simply Electronics, is currently offering the device with a £170 discount.

The S4 Mini is an impressive mid-range Android-powered smartphone, which packs a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, a Qualcomm MSM8930 Snapdragon 400 chipset powered by two 1.7GHz Krait CPU’s, an Adreno 305 GPU, 1.5GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing shooter and a 1,900 mAh Li-Ion battery.

In addition, the handset ships running the latest build of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean skinned with Samsung’s custom TouchWiz user interface, which Samsung claims is the “easier way to use your device, giving you intuitive control over everyday tasks.” However, it’s expected to receive the much-anticipated Android 4.3 update in the not-too-distant future.

No coupons or codes are necessary for this promotion. All you have to do is visit Simply Electronic’s website and purchase your Galaxy S4 Mini, then at the checkout £170 will be deducted from the usual price of £399 leaving £229 left to pay.
