A smartphone is currently still popular: Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. The mixture of relatively compact footprint and high-end hardware has also pledged H in the test. Time so for Samsung to put more maxi in the mini to stay on track.



Specifications

This takes Samsung one hand, by the display to lose more and higher dissolves, and on the other hand by a processor with four instead of two cores, and a 16 Gigabyte now twice as large flash memory is installed.

Cases & amp; Processing

The Galaxy S5 has also clearly been in the design of the S5 mini godfather. Would it not immediately recognizable as a mini due to the size, it would pass as a flagship. Even more than in the two previous customers will have a shrunken version of the top model. Each key cover or sleeve could also come from the big brother. Those who take the housing frame due to the optics of metal will be disappointed. In terms of material choice, Samsung remains true. The Galaxy Mini S5 is made almost entirely of plastic, but it still makes for a very stable housing. Creaking noise or wobbly components are not detectable.

With about 65 × 131 × 9 mm, the Galaxy S5 just as one-handed smartphone goes through mini. All four corners of the 4.5-inch display are reachable with one hand with the thumb. Because it is smaller, the S5 is mini even better than the flagship in the hand. The soft back with numerous depressions not provide for a better grip, but it also flatters so the palm. To gain access to the battery, microSD and SIM card, the back can be removed as usual with a quick jerk.

A rubber lip protects the interior against the ingress of water. Up to 30 minutes immersion in one meter maximum depth of the S5 makes mini with. It is encouraging that which is Micro-USB 2.0 port as opposed to the USB 3.0 version of the Galaxy S5 is not protected by a cover, so the fiddly fiddling does not happen with phone and cable.



Display

At the Super AMOLED technology Samsung holds, however, laid on. The new display is larger compared to the S4 mini not only 0.2 inches, but will also be visible later on. 720 × 1,280 pixels catapult the pixel density of 256 to 326 ppi, which is as much as the iPhone 5S. Apple’s smartphone is, however, is neutral and meets the white point better. The OLED display of mini S5 has 7,300 very cool white point and thus always have a slight blue tinge.

For this, but also the contrast is always excellent. Movies with lots of black areas give the impression of a powered display. Colors are very vivid and jump towards the user almost. A good IPS panel provides clear color fidelity from, but Samsung’s approach also has that certain something. In reds but falls on that easily drift in this direction Orange. Different angles have little effect on the display performance.
