I took the mini version of the S5 because I. For a man to have relatively small hands and my S3 was a bit too big to be able to operate it with one hand The S5 mini has a really good size and a razor-sharp and easy to read display. The build quality is top, nothing creaks and everything sits. Many are now cry out again: "But it's again just a plastic case"
The housing makes, thanks to the pleasant back not cheap impression and, thanks to the construction can also be in this Samsung smartphone battery change (important reason to buy for me!)
The battery pack with 2100 mAh lasts me quite loose through the day, but in case of emergency I always have a spare battery with you.
On other points that struck me positively I go in short words by:
+ Everything runs very smoothly and the hardware equipment is sufficient for the Android 4.4 Batriebssystem good.
+ For the price of currently about 340 good value for money
+ Running properly with my Samsung Smart Watch V700 - Runtastic Pro, pedometer, heart rate monitor - Top!
+ The user interface has been changed compared to Android 4.2 at some corners and slightly adapted, most of the changes make sense and are well implemented.
+ Clear calendar and scheduling features
+ Fingerprint sensor works beautifully
I would recommend this phone a friend to all who have already used other Samsung smartphones and now pull this model as a successor in consideration.
For a comparison to other brands I aspire at this point not to, I use only Samsung devices for years and could thus cause no qualified comparison.
5 Stars!
