The Galaxy mini S5 is there. Nearly half a year after the Galaxy S5 the more compact sister model is commercially available. As always, have to live with weaker hardware buyer of the Mini variant. Verkraftbare cuts or Samsung has tipped too much in S5 mini cutbacks?
Optical mini is almost indistinguishable from the Galaxy S5 larger sister model. The only feature in which both devices are not identical, is the USB port on the bottom of the unit. While the S5 is a newer microUSB 3.0 interface here, the S5 is equipped only with the conventional mini smaller and slower microUSB 2.0 port. This is in contrast to the S5 is not secured with a flap against the ingress of water. Nevertheless, the S5 is mini waterproof.
The housing is as usual made of polycarbonate., the plastic back but was refined with a so-called soft-touch coating. Thereby, the Galaxy S5 mini does not feel in the hand necessarily valent, but slipped significantly less than its predecessor. A Matter of Taste is still the dot pattern that adorns the back of the S5 mini. InsideWeb the golden color variant of its big brother S5 therefore was a “sticking plaster” mocked. users looking for want to avoid, the Galaxy mini S5 can but also in the colors black, white and blue buy.
outdoor high-end, inside only average
No HD display, no status LED – these criticisms of its predecessor, Samsung has the Galaxy S5 mini fixed. For this, Samsung has saved on the processor. The built-in quad-core processor from own production moves technically efficient at the level of Snapdragon 400, the potters in the almost 300 euros cheaper models Motorola Moto G and Nokia Lumia 630. The performance is decent, but not always smoothly. Especially when the smartphone performs multiple tasks in parallel, the S5 comes mini fast stutter.

Hardly cause for criticism is the display. It offers comfortable wide viewing angles. In the first test came from an inclination of 90 degrees minimum color distortions. The representation of the screen contents is as sharp as on the iPhone 5s, and also in terms of the luminosity is the “small S5″ the Apple smartphone in nothing. Striking: The display delivers brilliant colors, but the representation falls not so pushy like other Super AMOLED screens.
Spend Abel shows Samsung in terms of space: The device memory has a capacity of 16 gigabytes, almost twelve of which are available to the user. This can be expanded via microSD. Also, apps can be outsourced to the memory card.
Long lasting battery
As expected also the voice quality moves below the level of its sister model. The S5 filters thanks to a second microphone noise as far as possible from the caller sound but very muted and your voice tinny. This is only average.
The Galaxy S5 battery is replaceable mini and has a capacity of 2100 mAh. In the test, he showed persistent. With typical use, the intensity S5 mini also two days should do without power. At the outlet the S5 mini about two hours must stay, then it is again fully charged.
Internet Killed the Radio Star FM
What the S5 mini lacks in comparison to its predecessor, is an FM radio receiver. The function has now deleted without replacement even in the compact edition of its top smartphones Samsung. Samsung had justified this step with the Galaxy S4 so that users are listening to nowadays predominantly radio on the Internet. The speaker of the S5 mini delivers a decent, albeit noisy something sound for a smartphone. The audio playback with headphones moves on the level of cheap MP3 player.
A downgrade, there are also at the camera. Instead of having 16 megapixels like the S5 this dissolves in the mini-model with eight megapixels. Be deprived users on real time HDR preview. Get Samsung has gimmicks like the heart rate monitor, the Photo light and the virtual tour mode. With this, users can create virtual tours of rooms.
As for the image quality leaves the S5 mini a good impression. The pictures with the rear camera are good. The images look sharp, and the color reproduction is natural.
