“While Samsung will compete with Apple’s iPhone 5 by offering its own 4-inch handset, leaked specifications suggest it will be a budget device with a low-resolution display and camera,” Katie Marsal reports for AppleInsider.

“German site MobileGeeks revealed (via Engadget) that the handset will have a screen resolution of 800 by 480 pixels with a rear camera that will capture 5-megapixel images,” Marsal reports. “While the new Samsung handset will feature the same screen size as the iPhone 5, Apple’s latest handset soundly beats the rumored specifications of the Galaxy Mini. The iPhone 5 has a screen resolution of 1,136 by 640 pixels, and an 8-megapixel rear camera.”
