More exciting offers are coming from Samsung this year, aside from the flagship handsets, the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note 3, that the tech giant is set to unleash successively.

Two new colours for the Galaxy S3 Mini have been lined up, while the Samsung tablet crowd will get a new taste of Super AMOLED in the scheduled Q4 2013 release of the Galaxy Tab 3.

Live now is the Garnet Red and La Fleur colour flavour for the S3 Mini, courtesy of UK retailer Carphone Warehouse. The new handsets are available unlocked or with contracts, and for Aussies interested to import, the rough expense would be $394.

Red and La Fleur were first seen with the Galaxy S3 and some consumers may be fascinated with the thought of owning its Mini versions, especially the latter that is mainly sporting a white shell with specks of tattooed flowers.

Carphone also offers the S3 Mini for free but with locked-in agreements that go as high as $37.

Now on the tablet side, and many Samsung fans will surely remember the Galaxy Tab 7.7, which was noted for its crisp Super AMOLED screen display.

Samsung, according to SamMobile, is bringing in an upgraded version of that tablet with significant boosts in screen size and CPU prowess.

The name is already known, Galaxy Tab 3 Plus, but the screen size is yet to be determined and is a toss between 10.1 and 11.6 inches. But the most exciting part of the news is the possibility that this upcoming tablet will be given the arsenals it needs to compete head-to-head with Apple's iPad 5.

The Tab 3 Plus will rollout with the Full HD Super AMOLED screen tech and the 8-core Octa 5 that Samsung enginners had recently installed on the Galaxy S4.

SamMobile has indicated that Samsung's new tablet will be first seen via the 2013 IFA event in Berlin and its availability to come shortly, putting it in a direct collision course with fifth-generation iPad that Apple will reportedly release by mid-2013 alongside with the iPad Mini 2.

And even in the small tablet arena, Samsung has an answer - the quad-core and stylus-brandishing Galaxy Note 8.0 that begins rolling out in April. Needless to say, this is an iPad Mini nemesis.
