Apart from the now confirmed Galaxy S7 Active, a "mini" variant is also travelling in the rumors to one-up the likes of Apple iPhone SE handset. Adopting iPhone SE philosophy, Galaxy S7 Mini will offer better specification at an affordable price, but it will also cost the buyers the luxury of large screen size.
