We reported last week that AT&T confirmed that it would launch the Galaxy S III mini on September 27 and now the carrier has just put the smartphone up for pre-order.

Samsung Galaxy S III mini is available for only $0.99 (€0.75) with new two-year agreements and those who pre-purchase the device should know that the carrier has confirmed that it will start shipping it today.

Otherwise, the Galaxy S III mini will hit shelves in stores on September 27 and will be available for the same price. Unlike the original model that went on sale last year, AT&T’s version comes with a 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM.

In addition, it packs a more powerful 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery and offers LTE support. It also sports a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display and runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box.
