Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

Here is Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, in pictures, benchmarks and specifications



What you see above and below are the high definition real life photographs of the looming Samsung smartphone, called Galaxy S5 Mini. Last month we had written an article on the phone, but unfortunately, what we saw at that time was not the company's flagship's miniature version Galaxy S5 Mini, we see today. The handset we witnessed did not carry out a heart rate sensor, as we see here now. So, for the time being, as hinted and leaked earlier, we can assume that one to be a different version of Galaxy S5, dubbed as Galaxy S5 Dx.

Well folks, lets come back to this new smartphone that showed it's face-off from the courtesy of SAMMOBILE. According to the reads from the source, they have been treated with a set of HD pictures of the upcoming South Korean smartphone, being compared to it's bigger brother, GS5 from an anonymous tipster. The phone you see here is said to come out of the box with the same IP67-certifications, confirming the dust and water resistance, and we can also see that rubber sealing around it's back cover's interior. The company has managed to get rid of the flap covering for the microUSB port, even after making the phone tough underwater and in dusty conditions.

The new unannounced smartphone from 'Sammy' is slightly smaller to company's front runner handset, when it's kept for a comparison side by side. Samsung will continue to feature the perforated faux leather design on the back battery door, also packing the dedicated heart rate sensor aside the LED flash light, below the unit's primary lens. This release from Samsung will too have integrated fingerprint reader in the home button. From the front we are seeing identically same device like it's bigger sibling, but of course in smaller dimensions. In term of it's internal specifications and some benchmarking, the phone was treated with CPU-Z and scored 18405 points from AnTuTu's database.



Now for the anticipated specs, the impending smartphone, Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini will sport the company's own, reportedly yet to go official Exynos Quad 3470 processor and Cortex-A7 chipset with four cores, speeding at 1.4GHz with a Mali-400 Graphics Processing Unit, 4.5-inches screen Super AMOLED screen of 1280 x 720 resolution display, in protection of third generation Corning Gorilla Glass, 16 gigabytes of internal mass storage (expandable via microSD card slot), 1.5GB of Random Access Memory, eight megapixels main shooter with LED flash and a 2.1 megapixels front facing secondary snapper, both the lens are capable of capturing Full High Definition videos at 1080p.

And as connectivity highlights, the phone will pack Bluetooth's version 4.0 LE, Near Field Communication (NFC), WiFi 802.11n, A-GPS and GLONASS, 4G LTE network radios and IR Blaster. The smartphone is running over Android's version 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung's own TouchWiz UX and other proprietary Galaxy attributes like Ultra Power Saving Mode, Private Mode, Kids Mode, KNOX Security and more. We don't see any dates rumored for an official announcement from Samsung, just yet.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini leaks, there's no heart rate sensor



Samsung's Galaxy S5's miniature version or so called Galaxy S5 Mini is in the rumor tags for a while now on the internet. Today with the courtesy of evleaks from Twitter, the new upcoming smartphone has showed it's face-off to the web for the first time.

The handset has made it from Samsung's official United Kingdom based domain address, reportedly model named as SM-G800, as heard from the past and read from the above URL. We are not sure on what the South Koreans plans to call their new phone once it's made available for the public consumers, as the above screenshot of the webpage suggests the name, "Samsung Galaxy S5 Dx". What else is understood from the above picture is, that the upcoming smartphone will obviously look and feel like the new original Samsung Galaxy S5 with the dotted pattern and soft touch design, but unfortunately we will not see the dedicated heart rate monitor like it's big brother, the GS5 accompanying the LED flash. And with the above Press renders from the captured screen, it seems like the Galaxy S5 Mini will come out of the box in more colors, including new Green, Gray Orange and Yellow flavors, along with the previously seen Charcoal Black, Shimmery White, Electric Blue and Copper Gold. Lastly with the presence of Gear 2 and Gear Fit in the scene, we can confirm that the upcommer from Samsung will be compatible with these smartwatches, once announced.

We have tried to connect the URL leaked above, but it looks like the link is taken down at the moment. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini is expected to come out of the box with a Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 4.5-inches Super AMOLED screen of 720p resolution display, 16 gigabytes of expandable on board memory, 1.5 gigabytes of Random Access Memory, eight megapixels main camera on the back with LED flash and a two megapixels secondary camera on the front, a 2,100mAh powered battery and running Android's version 4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz on top. Sadly there is no dates rumored for an official announcement from Samsung until this day.

Update: evleaks has just published a standalone partially blurred Press render of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini or Galaxy S5 Dx in White color on Twitter.
