The South Korean giant has taken covers off the Galaxy S5 mini smartphone. Though it was expected that the company would scrimp on sensors to reduce price, the S5 mini will have the same features as that of its elder brother including fingerprint sensor and a heart rate monitor. Instead there is a reduction in quality of display, camera and processor.

Having a 4.5-inch HD (720p) Super AMOLED display, the S5 mini will be powered (<a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-leaked-specs-say-4-5-inch-display-kitkat-os-and-1-5gb-ram.74235">Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Leaked Specs Say 4.5-inch Display, KitKat OS And 1.5GB RAM</a>) by a quad-core processor (unspecified chipset) having a clock speed of 1.4 GHz clubbed with 1.5GB of RAM and a 2,100 mAh battery. Also, the smartphone is IP67 certified, meaning that it is water and dust resistant to an extent, and has Galaxy S5's Ultra Power Saving mode.

    I was hoping that with S5 mini, Samsung will launch the octa-core processor. Disappointing !

    I guess waiting till December 2014 might bring a good offer. I don't expect much. The <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-price-in-india-is-rs-27-990.69049">Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini Price In India Is Rs. 27,990!</a> which I now own (the predecessor of the 'Mini' series) came out at Rs27990 INR. Now it's available for Rs18500 INR after about 10 months of hitting the market. The size is a good factor for this Mini series. It's a decent performer as well. Fingers crossed.
