The Galaxy S4 Mini didn't exactly blow us away with its relatively mediocre specs last year, but things are looking up for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini.
Details of the Korean firm's next pared down smartphone have been dug up by SamMobile, who claim its sources have spilled the beans on the new handset.
According to the insiders the Galaxy S5 Mini will rock up with a 4.5-inch 720p display, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 8MP rear camera, 2MP front facing snapper and Android 4.4 KitKat. Oh, and it'll also inherit the dust and water resistant body of its older sibling, which puts another feather in the S5 Mini's hat.
The signs are good
They're not exactly the top-end specs found in the full fat Samsung Galaxy S5, but we weren't expecting the Galaxy S5 Mini to go down the route of the Xperia Z1 Compact. The boost in screen resolution from 960 x 540 on the Galaxy S4 Mini to 1280 x 720 will probably be the most welcome upgrade, and along with the latest version of Android and some half decent cameras the S5 Mini is shaping up to be a pretty decent offering. Obviously we're unable to confirm the authenticity of the sources, so we're going to have to hold out for the official announcement, expected towards the end of April or beginning of May.
