Samsung Galaxy S 4 has been recently launched in more than 50 countries, but the South Korean company has problems fulfilling the high demand for its flagship smartphone.

Although the handset maker announced prior to launch that the Galaxy S 4 would have limited availability in most countries, it appears that things are worse than the company has anticipated.

All in all, customers who want to purchase the Galaxy S 4, but cannot find one due to low supply, might want to take into consideration the upcoming Galaxy S 4 mini.

Even though the smartphone has yet to be officially introduced, the folks over at Techtastic.nl have just spotted the Galaxy S 4 mini at Bluetooth SIG.

The fact that the unannounced device has just received its Bluetooth certification might indicate that Samsung plans to make it official very soon.

Previous rumors pointed to a May release for the Galaxy S 4 mini, but due to Galaxy S 4’s supply issues, the former seems to have been delayed until June/July.

Samsung GT-I9195, also known as Galaxy S 4 mini, will ship with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box. This would be the second Samsung smartphone to launch with Google’s latest Android version.

Unlike the original model that sports a 5-inch display, the mini version is said to feature a smaller 4.3-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution.

Furthermore, the smartphone is rumored to come packed with a dual-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8/16/32GB of internal memory.

The Galaxy S 4 mini will also feature microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with GPS. Rumor has it that Samsung will launch multiple versions of Galaxy S 4 mini, including an LTE-enabled model and a dual-SIM variant.
