The phone looks good and generally performs well.However there seems to be a problem with some of these models which causes them to crash and freeze up every so often. I've had three of these phones and all of them have had exactly the same fault to a varying degree (crashing between 1-4 times a...

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.

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.

I want to buy it and i love that smartphone

This product has great features and easy to use for people that aren't technical savvy, the camera takes really good quality pictures.

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

Like the Samsung Galaxy S5, the S5 mini is a very decent Android phone. Our key concerns lie in its pricing and performance: while most users will find it more than fast enough for day-to-day tasks, the price tag is a lot higher than we'd like to pay in terms of what we get in return. The new dust- and waterproof casing is a nice touch, but the S5 mini isn't as good-looking as the HTC One mini 2, while the heart-rate monitor and fingerprint scanner are welcome but not essential additions.

Samsung released compact versions of its flagship Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 phones, so it was no surprise when the Galaxy S5 Mini was announced. Although those Mini phones bore the name of their flagship brother, all were in fact heavily watered-down versions of their respective top-end counterparts. The same is true of the S5 Mini.

If you've been hoping for a fully-fledged flagship phone with all the bells and whistles of the the other elite mobiles just in a more compact size, prepare to be disappointed. The Galaxy S5 Mini matches the regular S5 in name and looks, but not in specs. If you're after a comfortable to use phone with the Samsung name and enough power for everyday use, it'll suit well. For a true compact flagship, look towards Sony's Xperia Z3 Compact.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini has the same rubberised design as its full-size brother, it's waterproof, with a vivid screen and decent camera.

Like all of Samsung's previous smaller flagships, the S5 Mini seriously waters down the specs of the top-end phone, meaning it's just a mid-range phone with a flagship name and high price. The plastic design feels far less luxurious than the metal HTC One Mini 2 and the fingerprint sensor rarely works as it should.
