Dual-SIM version of Galaxy S5 mini is undergoing testing


We’ve seen leaks of several Samsung SM-G800 models that are presumably the Galaxy S5 mini (with some variation in name - Galaxy S5 Dx, K Mini).
Indian import and export data site Zauba lists several G800 units entering the country for R&D purposes. They are all listed as having 4.5” screens, matching tips we’ve received.
More interestingly, the SM-G800H version is a dual-SIM phone, while G800A and G800F are not. Multiple rows of the tablet includes “SM-G800F-EUR_XX” suggesting the F will be the European version of the Galaxy S5 mini.
The single-SIM / dual-SIM division could potentially explain the conflicting info about the chipset we’ve been getting. The SM-G800H had a Snapdragon 400 (as detected by GFX Bench), while the SM-G800A has a 2.3GHz processor implying Snapdragon 800 (as per the UAProf).
It seems like quite a stretch that Samsung would cripple the dual-SIM Galaxy S5 mini this much over the single-SIM though.
Can't wait!
