Here's hoping that the S6 Mini doesn't have a protruding camera sensor like Galaxy S6 (pictured). It will apparently be capable of Full-HD (alas, no 4K) video recording, and will have the usual host of expected features such as autofocus, face detection, HDR, and touch-focus. If the GFXBench leak is to be believed, then the Galaxy S6 Mini camera will be a 15 MP offering - a big jump on the 8 MP Mini cameras of the past. Of course, it doesn't say 'Galaxy S6 Mini' anywhere in the leak, but the specs seem perfectly in line with what we're expecting from the phone. Information for a phone called the 'Samsung SM-G9198' appeared on GFXBench recently, revealing a device with a 4.6-inch display, hexa-core Snapdragon 808 chipset, and 15 MP rear camera, among other things. The 4.5-inch S5 Mini screen was decent, but the S6 Mini looks like it'll bump it up to 4.6 inches. Remember when the 4.8-inch Galaxy S3 display seemed huge?! This is a fair reflection of the times, with definitions of what constitutes a 'small' or 'large' phone getting broader each year. According to GFXBench, the Galaxy S6 Mini will feature a 4.6-inch 1,280 x 768 display, which is actually 0.1-inch bigger than the Galaxy S5 Mini. This phone will be largely defined by its display size, which we initially speculated would be in the 4.5-4.7-inch region (anything above that, and there's no point in calling it a Mini). Is this really the Galaxy S6 Mini? / © PhoneArena It's speculated that the phone may be announced on August 13, alongside the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Quite how Samsung intends to keep the cost low while also using high-end materials, we don't know, but we may only have a few short weeks before find out. The Galaxy S Mini devices do tend to mimic the design of their flagship cousins, and when the Galaxy S6 arrived with a premium glass and metal body, we were left wondering whether the Mini series would follow suit. There's no way to know for certain, but it looks as though it follows the Galaxy S6 design closely, including the metal chassis. It's a dimly-lit photo, but it might have answered one of the key questions regarding the S6 Mini design: is it made from metal? PhoneArena has given us what we think is the first real glimpse of the Galaxy S6 Mini.
