Instead, I suggest waiting a few weeks for more info on Sony's just announced Xperia Z3 Compact, which packs the same top kit as its brother, only in a smaller size. Those of you looking for elite specs in a more comfortable form will be disappointed. ConclusionĪs it did with the S4 Mini and S3 Mini before it, Samsung has taken its flagship phone, watered down all of its specs, but kept the name of the top model.
While it doesn't have the high resolution and always-on HDR of the S5, its decent exposure, contrast and colours makes it perfectly capable of snagging some snazzy snaps for your Twitter stream.
The camera is generally a decent performer. There's an HDR mode, called Rich Tone, but it doesn't provide the live HDR view that you can find on the S5, nor will it allow for HDR video.

There are other shooting modes on board, like panorama and burst, and you can go to Samsung's store to download more. This rose hasn't been captured particularly well, as the bright sun shining on the petals has caused parts of the flower to be washed out.

The Mini seems fine in its factory state and may remain so, but it's worth bearing in mind that you may need to do a full reset from time to time to keep it working at its best. I remember having similar issues with the Galaxy S4. It's common for phones to get a little fatigued once you've filled them up with apps, music and photos, but my S5 slowed to the point of taking up to 5 seconds to even open the gallery. My experience was the same with the S5 too, but I find Samsung phones to be among the worst offenders for slowing down over time. Processor and battery performanceĪ 1.4GHz quad-core processor powers the phone, which delivered a reasonably swift experience, with little lag while navigating around the interface.

You'll find a whole slew of bundled Samsung software on board, including Samsung's own app stores, email client and Web browser, the smart remote tool for using the infrared port to control your TV and S Health, which aims to let you track your fitness progress (logging both steps taken and your heart rate, using the heart rate sensor on the back of the phone). Indeed, it has a pixel density of 326 pixels-per-inch, which is the same pixel density on the iPhone's retina display - and you'd have to be in a really foul mood to say that's not sharp. The Mini's 4.5 inch display has a 1,280x720-pixel resolution, which is a fair step down from the full HD display of the flagship S5, but its smaller screen doesn't require as many pixels to remain sharp. I'm especially relieved as that flap broke off my Galaxy S5, rendering it no longer water resistant. I'm really not sure how Samsung has managed to waterproof this port, particularly as it's the bit that deals with electricity, but it's certainly handy to not have to worry about clipping an awkward flap back into place.
Unlike the S5, however, the Mini doesn't require a flap to cover its micro-USB port on the bottom. In real terms, it means the phone won't conk out the first time you accidentally drop it in the toilet. Like its brother, the S5 Mini has an IP67 rating, meaning that it's protected from dust and can be submerged in water up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) deep for up to 30 minutes. Its mid-range specs are more forgivable at that price, but it's still not exactly cheap. The Mini does at least come with a cheaper price tag, starting at £390, SIM-free directly from Samsung here in the UK, $450 on Amazon in the US, and AU$500 in Australia, with carriers in all three countries offering it on contract too. Sony is currently the only mobile manufacturer that has a mini phone that actually uses the same blistering tech as the flagship, in its Xperia Z3 Compact. It would be more honest of Samsung to call it the "S5 Lite" to indicate to interested buyers that this phone is not just a small flagship, but a mid-range phone that shares the name and some design cues. The Mini does look identical to its bigger brother though, and its smaller size makes it much more comfortable to use in one hand. The S5 meanwhile, has a 2.3GHz quad-core chip, a full HD display and a 16-megapixel camera.

Its 4.5-inch screen has a 720p resolution, it has a 1.4GHz quad-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera, 4G LTE, fingerprint and heart-rate sensors and runs the older Android 4.4.2 KitKat software.
