With Samsung Galaxy S5, S5 Active and K Zoom already launched, the tech community is now waiting for the launch of the Galaxy S5 mini. The smaller version of flagship model Galaxy S5 has been leaked several times earlier, but the latest leak gives a photo and detailed specifications of the smartphone.
Technology website SamMobile has released a set of Samsung Galaxy S5 mini photos that show it will have the same dotted pattern on the back as its older sibling, but feature a smaller screen. The report also says that it will have top-end Galaxy S5 features like heart rate monitor and fingerprint sensor.
Earlier reports have said that the mini variant of the Galaxy S5 will also be water-resistant, but the leaked photos show that the microUSB port will not be covered, making it vulnerable to damage in case it is dropped in water.
In terms of specifications, Galaxy S5 mini is said to have a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 resolution, 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos chipset, 1.5GB RAM, 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front camera, 16GB internal storage and microSD support.
The report says that the Android 4.4 (KitKat)-powered Samsung Galaxy S5 mini will have TouchWiz UI on top, complete with new software features like Ultra Power Saving Mode, Private Mode, Kids Mode etc.
Samsung is hosting an event on June 12, where it is expected to unveil Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime and a range of premium tablets. The word on the tech grapevine now is that Galaxy S5 mini may be announced at the same event as well.
