Samsung Galaxy S5 mini Review

Duos (SM-G800H)     See other variants reviews Score: 71.4 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is an incredible phone launched in June 2014, featuring a 4.5 inches multi-touch display, an extremely fast 1.4 GHz Quad-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2.1 megapixels front side camera.

Samsung made this cellphoneavailable just in lots of colors like black, blue, white and gold. This cellphone is only 5.16 inches long, but it manages to hold a 4.5" display. Being just 0.36" thick,this cellphone is extremely slim and stilized. This phone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a phone this size.

Samsung designed the S5 mini with an awesome 4.5-inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes everything look perfect. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

Samsung decided to design this device using an extremely powerful 1.4 GHz Quad-Core processor, bundled in the Exynos 3 Quad 3470 chip and a huge 1,5 GB of RAM memory. To handle graphic calculations, it also counts with an ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU speeding at 266 MHz. A nice point of the S5 mini is the 16 GB quite big internal memory and an external memory slot, which allows you to install hundreds of applications without worrying about space.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2.1 megapixels front camera. It is also able to film 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera counts with a high number of amazing characteristics: auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini counts with a high capacity 2100 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery, which isn't too much for a phone like this.

This phone has wi-fi connectivity (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), 4G (LTE) fast connection and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a slower 4G network and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses two Micro SIM cards so it can to work with 2 different phone numbers or carriers in the same phone.

This phone also includes plenty of useful characteristics as Biometric fingerprint, NFC, Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone may not be so convinient considering it costs $ 249, while other similar phones cost less than that. No matter whether you are looking for a cellphone for work, are an amateur photographer, want a phone to play games or are looking for a device to mainly use social networks, you will probably love this phone.
