Samsung is making a smaller version of its flagship Galaxy S4 phone available in America next month.
The screen is 4.3 inches diagonally, compared with five inches for the regular S4. But the Mini version is still larger than the latest, four-inch iPhones.
Phone companies have been making their flagship devices in multiple sizes to appeal to a broad range of consumers.
Some may prefer a smaller device that fits nicely in a pocket, while others want the larger text that comes with the bigger screen.
AT&T, Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular will sell the Mini.
Prices are likely to be about $US100 ($A104) with a two-year agreement.
Samsung says a software update will make the Mini compatible with its new Galaxy Gear computerised watch.
