Samsung is set to soon launch its Galaxy S5 Mini Duos variant in India, as the handset has been listed on the company's official online India store.

Codenamed SM-G800H, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Duos features a 4.5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) Super AMOLED display. It is powered by a quad-core processor (unspecified chipset) clocked at 1.4GHz clubbed with 1.5GB of RAM.

As per the website listing, the handset runs on Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box and packs 16GB of inbuilt storage, which is further expandable via microSD card (up to 64GB). The Galaxy S5 Mini Duos sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with LED flash and there is a 2.1-megapixel front camera also on board.

Like its single SIM variant, the Galaxy S5 Mini Duos packs a 2100mAh battery and measures 131.1x64.8x9.1mm, while it weighs 120 grams.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Duos also comes with other Galaxy S5 features, such as a heart rate sensor; fingerprint scanner; Samsung wearable device compatibility; private mode/ kids mode; Ultra Power Saving Mode, and dust and water resistance (IP67 certified).

Samsung recently also listed the Galaxy Grand 2's Gold colour variant on the company's India e-store. Initially unveiled in January, the Galaxy Grand 2 was priced at Rs. 22,999 and was only available in White colour variant; however, Samsung later released two more colour variants of the handset - Black and Pink
