      I had it, but I didn't got brand new, I really need it a phone at the time, so I went to the closest phone shop and got one. Was a pretty good phone, until they stoped updating the software

    You know, I don't usually post comments on RUclips but I've been wanting to say this for a while, just never knew if you would ever respond, haha. Oh well, but I just wanted to say that I enjoy watching your videos man. Your reviews are meticulously detailed and you go in depth everytime. I like how the camera is positioned and everything like that as well. Just my thoughts, keep it up man!

    I am really impressed of the S5 mini. I thought it would be only for people thinking "Its only a cheaper S5 that is smaller, perfect for me!" but except the processor, Samsung kept all the Features and even the Fingerprintscanner, so yeah, for a current price of 210€ in my country, a great device. Gonna upgrade from my S3.
    I actually wanted to buy a Note 4, but since I want to save money to build a PC, the 250€ cheaper device will be the right choice.

  • @torres3800
    @torres3800 10 лет назад +93

    Hehehe, funny how this mini version of Samsung's flagship phone still has more features than the iPhone 5s. 4.5 in screen, Waterproof, iR blaster, finger print scanner, customizable widgets, smart stay, expandable memory, removable battery, ultra power saving mode, etc... Soo tell me why Apple's iphone is $700 + with very little features and a smaller screen. And dont bring up its made of metal. Thats not a justifiable case of such a hefty sticker price. Even the Galaxy S5 records in 4k on a 432 ppi 5.1 inch screen and its only $650. 4K people!!!!!

    • @virgoguy29ify
      @virgoguy29ify 10 лет назад +8

      Meh, the Nexus 5 is cheaper than both and still has better specs than both lol

    • @caimin15221522
      @caimin15221522 10 лет назад +25

      Most average people don't know about cpu, ram, gpu and ppi and just notice how nice the iPhone looks from the outside and how many people have it. Because of this, every average person wants one, so apple just charge a lot for it. In the eyes of a non tech person an iPhone 4s is better than a htc m7 or xperia z1 just because it's an IPhone,even though it's not

    • @caimin15221522
      @caimin15221522 10 лет назад +1

      Well the outside still does matter but not as much as people think. I'd rather have the xperia z3 than the gs5 if you get what I mean.

    • @ReggaeUnicorn
      @ReggaeUnicorn 10 лет назад

      Silver FalconX funny how you don't take into account software optimization. if iOS is able to squeeze that much power out of a silly iPhone with silly specs, then i wonder how much better it would be on the "inside" if it had Android specs. next time take software into account pls. /thread

    • @ReggaeUnicorn
      @ReggaeUnicorn 10 лет назад +1

      Silver FalconX 1. iOS functionality is totally subjective. It may be useful or detrimental to you
      2.Tell me when you actually see the performance difference in 1GB and 2GB on iOS.
      3. iOS does a better job of simplicity than Android, seems like Android software squeezes your eyes with its customizability

  • @JTheAndroidFreak
    @JTheAndroidFreak 10 лет назад

    I wonder if could assist me with this question please. I am currently using HTC One M8 recording 1080P video @60fps for my RUclips channel and pretty happy with it. Wanna replace it with S5 mini which records same 1080P but at 30fps. Would the S5 mini be a decent replacement for videos at 30fps? So far of what I have seen S5 mini 1080P samples look very decent. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Cheers

  • @puzzleashady427
    @puzzleashady427 8 лет назад

  • @PatrickFryer

    Another great review Mike. Waiting for the day when we have a shrunken down flagship as in a 1:1 spec sheet.

    • @PatrickFryer
      @PatrickFryer 10 лет назад

      ***** Bingo!

    • @PatrickFryer
      @PatrickFryer 10 лет назад +1

      ***** lol. I think they do it so they don't distract focus away from their flagship product. If I was head of one of these companies I'd make the phones exactly the same and sell them at the same price. Its really user preference, smaller phone that's easier to use and pocket or a larger device for media consumption and battery. I'd buy a smaller version of the One M8 today if it had the same specs.

    But It doesn't have multi-window mode not only because of its 1.5 GB RAM, but also because the screen is already small enough, can't be divided in two.

    ***** So I'm getting a new phone soon and I was curious - Where do you recommend I buy S5 mini? Amazon has some but they seem to all be programmed for the UK which allegedly doesn't work without an extra SIM card or something in the US. Also, apparently it's 3G, not 4G for the G800H model that I would use in US, and I was curious if, in your opinion, that was much of a hindrance in performance for internet, especially Instagram. I've read there is very little difference and that 4G is just a rebranded 3G. Please respond if you see this, I don't want to get the wrong phone. Thank you for posting this review, by the way.

    Does anyone know when this will be released in the US? I am aware it's currently available as the international version but was hoping to get it from a retailer.
