There has been talk that Samsung might bring the mini version of the Galaxy S5 any time soon into the market. Rumors about a Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini with a 4.5-inch display have been circulating all over the web for quite some time.

According to sources close to Sammobile, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini has been tipped to arrive sometime in mid-July with the mini version expected to launch globally. If we observe the timing closely, this would be the same time period when Samsung introduced the original Galaxy S4 Mini last year.

This means that Samsung could officially launch the Galaxy S5 Mini next month. However, we advise you to take this rumor as a pinch of salt, as Samsung is yet to accept whether they have any plans to launch the Galaxy S5 Mini in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini - What to expect?

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, the S5 Mini appears to be much better, at least, in respect to the specifications. Rumors have it that the Galaxy S5 is expected to come with a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED 720p HD display. The upcoming device will be powered by a 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 3 Quad processor coupled with 1.5GB of RAM.

On the camera side, the handset would sport an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing shooter. Connectivity options on the phone are as follows: 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, IR Blaster, NFC and GPS connectivity options.

Moreover, the Galaxy S5 Mini is also believed to offer the same fingerprint and heart rate sensors as the older siblings, alongside the IP67 water and dust resistant certification. The phone will run on Android 4.4.2 Kitkat with Samsung's native UI slapped on top.
