Its not just the Nexus 10, Galaxy tablets or Galaxy S5 smartphone that Samsung is being hype on the web. It seems the South Korean tech giant is also preparing to launch a cheaper variant of the company's Galaxy S3 mini smartphone which was launched back in 2012. However, the upcoming variant of the handset is said to be a "Value Edition" of the Galaxy S3 mini smartphone and it will be released soon.

Reportedly, according to SamMobile, the model number GT-I8200 belongs to the Galaxy S 3 Mini Value Edition. This is probably an upgraded version of the original S 3 Mini which came with model number GT-I8190.

In fact, two variants of the handset is listed at the Bluetooth SIG. A GT-I8200N, which is seemingly made for European markets and a GT-I8200L for South America. While the FCC only reveals the GT-I8200N model. It says that it will come with dual-band Wi-Fi and 3G (1900 MHz).

Although there is no image of the device, the sketch of the GT-I8200N at the FCC shows that it will look similar to the original Galaxy S3 mini smartphone.

The company has not spoken about the device as of now and nor the price of the device is disclosed. However, speculations are that the smartphone could get launched next month.
