Although the leaked specs of Galaxy S III mini pointed to ST-Ericsson’s NovaThor chip, the official specs list didn’t mention it except that it comes with a dual-core 1GHz processor. Now ST-Ericsson has officially confirmed that the Galaxy S III mini is powered by “NovaThor ModAp platform from the U8500/U8520 family.”
Galaxy S III mini is the fourth Samsung device to use ST-Ericsson’s NovaThor platform after Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Beam and Galaxy Ace 2.
Our highly integrated NovaThor ModAp platform, integrating a modem and application processor on a single die, enables compact and efficient devices and we are very pleased that Samsung has again chosen us for its GALAXY S III mini.
