hi all what I say might not mind to samsung but the truth is That They care little about the amount of cell phones That take a year. the stupidest samsung Have More than 60 kinds of the galaxys phones Which Majorities have a version of android 4.0.2 android 4.4.2 have only few are counting and why they 'This Year's Models with galaxy s3 but if we see the nexus Already have version 4.4 0.4 or the latest version to get the L. android samsung android version untima would wait a year or more to Obtain younger age and will continue releasing new models samsung android without autoalizar with previous models. iphone change in care in trying to autoalizar all its models to the most recent versions of ios

Hey there! Great review, I'm just trying to decide between the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini and the Alcatel Hero. If you would have to choose from any of these which one would you get?

how can Sony pack a high end processor, 3GB RAM and a 20MP camera in a 4.6 inch screen phone and Samsung has to downgrade everything?! why isn't there a compact device with high end specs that isn't super sized, because not everybody has big hands.

They have it, is called Alpha. Even though it's probably not as good as the Z3C.

in 2020 the s20 is 6.2 inches...

Kevin I like your reviews. Keep up the good work!

I have an s5 mini and am trying to upload my music album art but it only displays in the gallery rather than on the folder or music files themselves. Any suggestions on what to try? On the s3 mini I simply added the picture to the music folder then copied it all across to the phone and it worked fine.

This, the A3 or the J2? I'm looking to get this over my Moto G 2014. Call me weird but I'm getting tired of these big phones and after using my dad's old S3 mini, I instantly fell in love with super amoled displays, along with the smaller size.

How about the camera bootup speed from the locks screen? The camera shutter /in-between shots speed? Speaker quality vs S5? Audio quality when using headphones? Battery life tips? And any news on the lollipop update?

can we use metric units? mm and grams just make more sense.

I remember back in 2011 the largest phones were 4.3 inches and now the mini phones are 4.5 inches. Pretty funny how things change in 3 years.

Does anyone know when it will become available for US carriers??

I bought an unlocked version from Amazon. It has a problem with the screen not rotating (yes the "screen rotation" is turned on) due to downloaded apps. It works problem free while in safe mode which disables downloaded apps. Problem still persists after a factory reset. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanx for the review. Very helpful. :) I'm getting the s5 mini tomorrow.

Can the Android version of the S5 mini be upgraded to Android version 5.0 or the lollipop android version?

No cover for the usb?

Thanks mate. I've got mine a few weeks ago and some people said it's crap. So it was nice to see this review. It's a good phone, not the best but descent device.

Didn't the s5 mini had a 1.4ghz exynos processor and Mali GPU?

This tech ninja is getting better :)

The home button delay you spoke about..you should go into the settings of S Voice and disable the double tap for opening it. After that it makes the home button response faster than ever ^^

Fantastic review. Thanks for making it. Just one thing, though. You've combined imperial with metric for your description of the dimensions. eg. "5.16 inches tall" Inches are fractions of twelve (imperial). Point one six (.16) is a fraction of ten (metric). ;-)

This is my first proper phone, would this be good for a start? I have used other samsung devices.

Mine too! But i dont have a sim card coz my mom & dad say i cant call anyone and im only 10 years old in 2020

can someone explain how can you achieve the depth of field?i have the phone but i didnt find how u do it.

I have the S5... And before I bought this phone I had the S4 mini. I would just say if you've never had a Samsung android phone get the a mini version. I had it for awhile. Fell in love and wanted a bigger screen with more specs. This phone is everything that I want. And me and sister(she has the iPhone 6) often joke and compare our phones. This phone is amazing. I bet the mini is just as awesome. :)

my samsung s5 mini only pauses when i watch vidoes and play music what can i do to fix this

Once again, a great vid. Not only great but through review as well. Thanks.

I love this phone but Ive been having problems with it.....for example, the wifi keeps cutting in and out, the home button always takes me to Google when I don't want it to,it freezes up alot, also I've been having lots of trouble setting up my texting there is no way to stop autocorrect. however, there are some positives: 1. great battery life 2. really good speed in performance fast processor for a tiny phone 3. beautiful resolution and the camera is the best I have seen in a long time sooo idk if it's just anyone else has had these problems before but I don't know if I would recommend this phone to those who are easily frustrated lol but its worth a try

It seems like the Sony Xperia Z 1-3 Minis are the only mini phones that have the same specs as their big brothers.

Does anyone know when we can expect this phone to be on major carriers in the U.S.? Thanks!

S5 mini or huawei p8 lite please tell me quick.

How much actual user's internal storage is available? I remember the 8gigs S4 mini was only 5 gigs available and then the 16gigs came with only 8gigs(?).

I have a 2013 Sony XPERIA SP which is meant to be a midrange device and it has the same specs as this, bar the processor. So in the 3rd quarter of 2014 samsung are releasing devices with the same specs as a midrange device that was released a year and a half ago.

hey bro in want samsung s5 mini theme service for rooted mobile how do i get that

how much is this i wana go buy it plz I need an answer

Thank you! Now I'm sure on what phone I want

Why downgrade the camera but keep the worthless heart rate monitor? Terrible

What type of contracts can i get with this?

Its 2020 and it still works a bit. But theres a problem... When i play on online games the internet just restarts and turns on again
