The trend of manufactures seems to be aimed at taking a flagship device, making a bigger brother and a smaller brother. Sony has the Z2 and Z2 Compact, the Galaxy S4 had a mini and there have been talks of a S5 mini and HTC One M8 mini too. Obviously the mini aspect is to bring some of the great features of the flagship device and dial them back a little and offer it at a lower price point. We have been suspicious, basically known, that Samsung was working on a smaller brother for the galaxy S5. Seems like our old pal, @Evleaks, has acquired an image showing a little bit regarding he device.
The image pretty clearly shows a series of Galaxy S5 devices with a label of “Dx” in the left hand side. The color options show off grey, blue, white, yellow/gold and a lime green. it is also missing the heart monitor found of the flagship version. You will also notice the Gear Fit and Gear 2 in the image, so I imagine that Samsung will be pairing them up with a promo price tag. We can only hope that this “mini” or “dx” version won’t take a huge cut in internal specs. A smaller screen would be fine, and even if they opted out of the waterproof side of things to cut costs back would be ok with me. The rumored specs talked of a 8MP camera, 16GB internal storage, a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD screen at 1280 x 720, a Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor and 1.5GB of RAM.
Any thoughts to be had about the Galaxy S5 Dx, or is it to early to really make a judgment.
