This is an excellent phone I brought for my partner. His phone broke and he needed a realiable easy to use phone for work. The sound on it is great and the touch screen settings are easy to find and use. It's the right size phone and not to chunky so fits in his pocket nicely.

Smart touch screen easy to use

I bought this to replace my iPhone 4s. As expected it is a larger and superior phone. The finger locking feature us ok, though I can't get it to recognise my thumb print so u can't unlock it using one hand if I use that feature. Overall great product and happy with the choice.

Lets be honest: Samsung's historical attempts at mini flagship devices have been pretty miserable. In our Galaxy S5 Mini review, we'll show you how Samsung has improved upon the instantly forgettable Galaxy S3 Mini and S4 Mini to produce a slimmed down version of the Galaxy S5 that produces an...

Same look and feel as the S5; Same flagship software features and experience; Great display; Solid camera and battery

Slower performance than S5; Relatively high price

Little flagships have become the big thing over the past year or so with top-end manufacturers knocking out scaled-down variants of their flagships to suit those whose pockets aren't as deep - both dimensionally and financially.

Handles the basics with aplomb; Easy to navigate; Good e-Health features

If you loved everything about the Samsung Galaxy S5, but thought that it was too big, the Galaxy S5 Mini is the device for you.

Great camera experience Good screen Flagship hardware features

Some build quality issues Occasional instances of stutter or lag

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini is a reduced version of the Galaxy S5 in terms of performance and features, but there are still several features that let the borders between mainstream and high-end blur: Fingerprint reader , water- and dust-resistant case , great and comprehensive software, convenient...

Case is water- and dust-resistant; Replaceable battery; Fingerprint reader; Heart rate monitor; Infrared sensor; Decent GPS; Good voice quality; Operating system with several features; Cameras with good picture quality; Precise controls; Good display; Low temperature development; Low power...

Preloaded bloat ware; Case "just" made of plastic; Hardly any settings for the sound; Heart rate monitor not always reliable; Operating the fingerprint reader can be tricky; Slight blue cast of the display; A Full HD display would have been nice

In my Samsung Galaxy S5 mini review I take a look at a small smartphone that has exceptional qualities for the typical phone user. However if you are serious about smartphone photography then you must read the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini camera review section found below.

Love the duos dual Sims...however, the S5 has some glitches which stink. There is something wrong with the audio & sometimes the external speaker doesn't work. I have to reboot the phone to reset it. Major bummer Street I love the Galaxy's.

For years I have just used Nokia and iPhone, when it came time to replace my iPhone I did my research and I am not sorry at all for choosing the Samsung galaxy S5 mini. And being a photographer I enjoy the 8megapixel camera.

I like it, works fine for every-day use. Battery and UI speed could be better. The camera is amazing, really good shots and speed. The build quality despite of being plastic, is good. Currently waiting for Android 5 Lollipop, hopefully 5.1

Good camera; Water-resistant; The finger scanner sometimes doesn't get it but it's good; The screen is really good

Batery could be better; The UI speed is dissapointing; Price is too high
