Samsung Galaxy S5 mini gets a thorough inspection in new hi-res images

We've just been handed the biggest Samsung Galaxy S5 mini leak yet, as a bunch of high-res pictures have spilled onto the web for our viewing pleasure.

Overall, the S5 mini seems to ape the flagship's design - the dotted plastic back, heart-rate monitor - but hits it with a shrink ray.

Sam Mobile which got hold of the dinky handset, says it can "confirm" a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED 720p display, an Exynos 3 Quad chipset with quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1.5GB of RAM.

The rear camera is getting sliced in half, bringing it down to 8MP, with a 2.1MP shooter on the front and 16GB of expandable storage. The fingerprint sensor is also present and accounted for.

Oh, and apparently it's still IP67-certified to protect it against water and dust. The lack of a lid on the micro USB slot makes us question that, but it could be the case that it's just MIA on this particular discovered handset.

Samsung's wider S5 family seems to be leaking all over the shop at the moment, with the Galaxy F popping its head out of the ground at any given opportunity.
