Samsung Galaxy S III mini adds 50 euro premium for NFC in Finland, coming to the UK this month
If you had planned to S-Beam your media around on Samsung's Galaxy S III mini, only to be disappointed by the lack of Near Field Communication on our UK review model, then we've got some good news for all twelve of you. Yes, Samsung has announced that Brits will be treated to an NFC iteration before the end of this particularly chilly January and it will arrive across the major carriers and in phone stores both online and real. While the announcement didn't arrive with a price tag, we've been tipped off to some pricing at Finnish retailer Gigantti, where the NFC version rings in at 349 euros. Sidestep the contactless communication, however, and you'll only have to pay 299 euros. There's the choice of both blue and white finishes on either model, but you'll still have to decide whether tappable file transfer and sharing warrants that 50 euros ($67) extra.
