Back when we first got an unofficial glimpse at Verizon's Galaxy S4 mini, we were disappointed to find that the carrier had decided to put its logo on the home button, like it did with the Galaxy Note II last year (and thankfully didn't with the Note 3). However, we were still hoping against hope that this wouldn't come to pass, but unfortunately, it's really happening – Verizon has tweeted confirmation of the S4 mini's launch on their network after Samsung's announcement yesterday, and its ugly logo is painfully visible on the front.
Even the back has Verizon branding, so if you do buy the S4's lower spec'd sibling from US' largest carrier, then you're going to have a constant reminder of who it is you're paying every month. The device will launch in November on major carriers, and you can sign up at the source link for more details from Verizon in the future.
