One makes the little brother of the Galaxy S5 ever better than the original: With its compact dimensions, the S5 is mini perfectly in the hand and the thumb easily reaches every corner of the touch screen; thanks to the low weight of 120 grams is the arm even on prolonged use is not difficult. The back is ergonomically rounded, while the matte and a golf ball textured surface for non-slip makes no matter whether. In the hand or on the table However Haptic neither the plastic frame metal-like yet the polycarbonate rear shell with the design competition, namely Apple’s iPhone 5s and HTC’s One 2 mini, keep up – this can be in Samsung’s compact battery change.

At the processing there is nothing to complain about. How big is the S5 Galaxy mini S5 dust and waterproof to IP67. The manufacturer has the micro USB port but this time open design on the bottom, so it does not need extra abfummeln a protective cap to charge the battery.

The display of the Galaxy S5 mini is a stunner, it is one of the best you can currently find on the market. This is not because of the resolution (Samsung offers the 4.5-inch range usual and completely adequate standard of 1280 x 720 pixels), but on the used AMOLED technology, the auftrumpft with strong colors and contrasts. Below the display is a Samsung Exynos 3470 the pace, a mid-range processor, work the 4 main cores with 1.4 GHz. The working memory is large enough so that the system does not break a sweat even with many parallel applications with 1.5 gigabytes. Performance is of course lower than high-end Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets such as 800/801, but is still sufficient for use in daily life and also for demanding 3D games.

This is also true for the rest of the features of the S5 mini. Of the 16 GB internal memory are scarce 11 GB available on the Micro-SD slot can be upgraded up to 128 GB. There are also NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi n, faster LTE radio to Cat 4 and the combination of heart rate monitor and fingerprint sensor, which is also known by the great Galaxy S5. The pulse sensor is positioned again on the back next to the LED flash light and works as usual, which means that if you hold the fingers quiet and does not press too hard, you get fairly reliable results

With your index finger, the recognition rate is higher, but who wants in a smartphone, which is suitable with compact dimensions, perfect for one-handed operation, constantly strive the second hand to unlock the screen?

The camera makes it better, even if Samsung saves on the resolution: Where the Galaxy S5 snaps photos with 16 megapixels, the S5 provides mini with 8 megapixels only half, but this does not mean that the photos are only half as good. In optimal lighting conditions, the quality is almost on par with the flagship, as soon as it is dark, but the differences are clear. Nevertheless: The S5 offers mini
a middle-class camera that produces very decent photos and videos. The very short shutter lag is even top class.
