Samsung Galaxy S5 mini allegedly pictured in the wild, might feature a new Exynos 3 Quad processor

Earlier today, Samsung finally announced the Galaxy S5 Active, but there are still at least two rumored S5 variants that remain to be confirmed: the Galaxy S5 Prime, and the Galaxy S5 mini. We don’t have news on the former at the moment, but the latter seems to have appeared in a few live photos.

SamMobile received said photos from an anonymous source. If they really present the S5 mini, then the handset looks very similar to the regular (and larger) S5, complete with a heart rate sensor below its rear camera, and a fingerprint scanner on the front. According to SamMobile, this Galaxy S5 mini - model number SM-G800F - doesn’t have a Snapdragon 400 processor (as previously rumored), instead coming with an unannounced 1.4GHz Exynos 3 Quad (Exynos 3470) chipset. That aside, the handset should feature a 4.5-inch 720p display, Android 4.4 KitKat, 8MP rear camera, 2.1MP front-facing camera, 1.5GB of RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage space.

The alleged Galaxy S5 mini doesn’t seem to have a flap cover over its USB port, so it may not be water resistant. As always, we'll bring more details on the matter as soon as we get them.
