The handset also comes with IP67 certification for water and dust resistance. The heart rate monitor is located at the back and the home button doubles as fingerprint scanner.
The phone comes with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor; the new Exynos 3470 chip is making its debut. Galaxy S5 Mini has 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal memory. As expected, the handset comes with Android 4.4 KitKat. In the connectivity front, there is Wifi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, USB 2.0, A-GPS + GLONASS, and IR Remote connectivity. The compact device packs an 8 mp rear camera with LED flash and a 2.1 mp secondary front camera. The handset has a dimension of 131.1 x 64.8 x 9.1mm and weighs 120g.
