Announced in February 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 boasts a 3.27-inch screen, runs Android 2.3 and incorporates “optional” NFC.

There is no word on which markets and carriers will get the NFC version, and the only signs that the Mini 2 is NFC enabled are that it will be 0.3mm thicker and just 1.5g heavier than its non-NFC equivalent.

The Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 retails from around £150 SIM-free.
