Oh, that’s nice. After the many smartphones with large screens of five inches and above, which I held in recent months in hands, the Galaxy mini S5 feels really good to. With 4.5-inch display is not to be small, the device yet so compact that it is much better in the hand than the trendy giant cell phones. The ribbed back feels tacky feel to.
Slim is the mini not. Compared to the S5 or about an iPhone 5s it is nine millimeters even comparatively thick. The borrowed from the S5-round plastic frame makes it also seem neither elegant nor slim
In any case, carries the S5 mini same design features as its big brother, and is otherwise similar feature. It has a fingerprint sensor on the front and a optical pulse monitor on its back. Moreover, it is sealed against dust and splashing water, it can be so it could get short deposit in the flower vase. The battery lasted during the test by an average of ten to twelve hours. A useful, but not inspiring value.
The display
As so often used Samsung and the Galaxy mini S5 one of its Super-AMOLED display. Although the resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels is not excessively high, ranging in the face of 4.5-inch screen from but to sharp and smooth gradients represent writings.
But above all shines the screen with the usual for the Amoled technology high contrast and vibrant colors. In the test, he could not always prevail with its brightness against the midday sun. Reflections are visible, due to the small distance between the display and the cover glass but not very disturbing.
Power
In performance tests cuts the small S5 is not particularly well from. The test-app Geekbench 3 example attests him just 1000 points. This is almost 100 less than its predecessor Galaxy S4 mini creates. Given the low clock rate of 1.4 GHz were of the quad-core processor of the S5 mini but no miracles expected.
the more gratifying that the consistent performance has little impact on everyday tasks. When Surfing the web about even complex pages build without annoying delay on graphically demanding games also run in high detail smoothly.
The camera
As with the processor Samsung has saved mini compared to the S5 even with the camera of the S5. Instead of a 16-megapixel camera comes here with only an eight megapixel resolution used. However, the impressive proof that megapixels values are not just the only criterion for a camera.
Functionally, it provides a similar range of automatic modes the camera when an S5. These include high-contrast images (HDR), a panorama mode and continuous shooting. The autofocus operates quite fast. Above all, the quality of the recordings is above average (see photo gallery).
The networking
Move the little S5 connects just as easily and quickly with the mobile networks as the great model and also dominates LTE. In most W-Lans it does not look different. Only the fast Gigabit wireless standard IEEE 802.11ac may not offer the mini. But usually the much more common standard IEEE 802.11n already perfectly adequate. In addition, the S5 mini Bluetooth 4.0 and an NFC chip has built. The internal memory is relatively small with 16 GB via microSD card but can be extended by up to 128 GB.
Advantages and disadvantages
Very good screen
Fast mobile network connection via LTE
Good photo quality
Waterproof and dustproof
Integrated Heart Rate Monitor
Good maneuverability
The display could be a bit brighter
Conclusion
For many mobile phone users, the Galaxy S5 should be Mini S5 the better because it is smaller. To grab the default, as many functions and capabilities of its top smartphones in a handy format, Samsung has certainly done perfectly. That the processor is slower than that of the Galaxy S5, interfere in everyday life just as the lower resolution of the camera. When you get just the mini, what you pay for. And because the little S5 is much cheaper than the big, must be content with anything less. The price performance ratio is at S5 mini but much better.
