An alternative 'upgraded' Galaxy S III Mini version (SM-G730A/SM-G730V) is available from the US carriers
AT&T
and
Verizon Wireless
respectively, which features a different processor (Qualcomm 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400), NFC, 2000
mAh
battery, and 4G LTE data speeds, among other differences. It retains the same 4-inch (800×480 pixels), Super AMOLED screen as the original 'international' Galaxy S III Mini. As of June 6, 2014, the AT&T
[6]
website shows this version of the phone shipping with
Android 4.4 KitKat

PXA986, dual-core) clocked at 1.2 GHz, with the
Vivante
GC1000 GPU, those specs were used in the
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
