Photos taken by Galaxy S4 Mini are automatically gathered and saved according to your timeline, geo-tagging information or specific event, to create a photo album.

Users can also receive travel assistance and information services through the S Travel preloaded app which can even recommend a new trip and provide destination guides.

The Galaxy S4 Mini will be available in two colours – White Frost and Black Mist. There will be a 4G LTE version, 3G version, and 3G Dual Sim version. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is available in Ireland from free on all operators including the Carphone Warehouse.
