Samsung Galaxy S5 mini Review

NO-LTE     See other variants reviews Score: 71.3 / 100

Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is a great cellphone launched back in 2014, with a 4.5-inches screen, an exceptional Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1400 megahertz, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front camera.

This cellphone comes with a Exynos 3 Quad 3470 system chip, packing a great Quad-Core processor speeding at 1.4 GHz with a great 1,5 GB RAM. Graphic calculations often consume lots of CPU time, so it also uses an ARM Mali-400 MP4 graphic processing unit ticking at 266 MHz to help with that calculations. A good point of this cellphone is the 16 GB quite large internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing the user to install hundreds of applications without any problem.

This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone like this. This cellphone is incredibly thin, with a thickness of just 0.36 inches. This phone is just 5.16 inches long and 2.55" wide, but it still manages to hold a 4.5" display. This cellphone is for sale in a lot of colors, black, blue, white and gold.

This phone has a completely amazing 4.5 inches display with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look completely perfect. This display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This phone features Wi-Fi connection (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a router), LTE 4G fast connection type and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a lower speed 4G technology and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini works with a Micro SIM card for GSM connection.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 2.1 mega-pixels front facing camera. The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini also captures videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also has lots of amazing characteristics: flash, auto-focus, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and HDR mode.

This phone uses a huge 2100 mAh Li-Ion battery providing the S5 mini a good battery life.

This cellphone also features lots of interesting characteristics like Fingerprint Scanner, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Port, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This phone is being sold for 180 dollars, not so cheap for this type of phone. The S5 mini is definitely the right one no matter if you will use it as a social phone, love photography, need a work device or want a gamer device.
