NX Mini 2

In June 2015, rumors were circulated of a NX mini 2. Based on leaked specifications, the NX mini 2 would feature high-resolution 4K video recording and interchangeable front covers. It would use the same sensor with an AMOLED rear screen and a battery with slightly less capacity (1820 mAh versus 2330 mAh).^[2]

Lenses

The NX mini uses a 1" sensor, giving it a 2.7x crop factor relative to 35mm. It uses the Samsung NX-M lens mount with a register of 6.95 mm, which is among the shortest in existence. An adaptor (ED-MA4NXM) may be separately purchased to mount larger lenses using the Samsung NX-mount, which is designed for an APS-C sensor.
