The Samsung Galaxy S6 mini is reportedly real and it will come out in the market with a 4.6-inch screen, according to rumors.

According to GSM Arena, the smartphone was confirmed because it was listed on an online retail website called Lets Tango, where it also listed some of the specifications of the mini phone.

As per the retailer, the smartphone will have a Hexa-cor 1.8 GHz CPU with a 2 GB RAM and powered by an Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system and have an internal memory of 16 GB.

Gadgets adds that the phone will have a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED display installed with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. For its mobile photo capabilities, it will come installed with a 15-megapixel back camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera, according to the listing.

Additionally, it will have USB 3.0, Bluetooth v4.0, 4G LTE Cat 6. connectivity, Beidou, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/a and Wi-Fi Direct capability, Qi wireless charging, ANT+ support, air gestures and S Voice natural language commands and dictation.

The outlet adds that the Galaxy S6 mini will have a fingerprint sensor for Paypal transactions and Samsung Pay.

If rumors were true and the mini S6 phone were to come out, there is still no word from Samsung.

Meanwhile, there is new leaked information about the highly anticipated flagship phablet Galaxy S7. According to Forbes, the new phone will reportedly come in 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch variants. The standard Galaxy S7 phone will come in a 5.2-inch display and the presumed Galaxy S7 Plus will reportedly sport a 5.5-inch screen.

The outlet cites South Korean news site ET News that also said that the Galaxy S7 Edge and Edge+ variants will have the same screen size as the standard S7.

There is no confirmed official release date for the new Samsung lineup yet but it is rumored that the phones might go on sale in Feb. 2016, to which Inc. notes is less than a year than the highly successful S6 lineup. The leak was reportedly made by telecommunications provider China Mobile.

It is not known why the Korean company would make this move as according to the website, if the rumors would be true, recent S6 owners would be pissed off by the new flagship as they have gotten theirs over Black Friday sales. Their two-year contract or agreements may hinder them from getting the newer phone and adding to the fact that the S7 is rumored to have expandable memory, a feature that was removed from S6.
