If you’re a UK consumer and you were thinking about buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini in time for Christmas then you might be interested in this next snippet of news. Galaxy S4 Mini pink, orange and purple varieties are now on sale to brighten up your day.

This is a timely addition as it’s likely that this phone will be appearing on many Christmas lists and the colors offer a pleasing alternative to those already available. The pink, orange or purple Galaxy S4 Mini flavours are now available exclusively at Carphone warehouse.

The orange edition is a particularly nice addition as although we sometimes see pink and purple color options for handsets, an orange one is pretty rare. Galaxy S4 Mini specs include a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch display, 1.5GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage (expandable with microSD card).

Other specs include an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera, LTE support, and a1900 mAh battery. This phone launched on the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, upgradable to Android 4.3.

The purple and pink models are already in stock at Carphone Warehouse while the orange version is set to arrive on December 9 but can be pre-ordered now. The usual black or white options are also available. If you don’t want to be tied to a contract the phone is available SIM-free for £379.95.

Alternatively if you want to buy on contract with Vodafone, O2, EE, Orange, T-Mobile or TalkMobile through Carphone Warehouse, plans are available from £21 monthly for 2 years with the handset free. You can see more or order any of these color options from Carphone Warehouse here.
