Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini vs Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's of YouTube's a few on super-safe TV and in this video I'm going to be comparing the specs of the samsung galaxy s5 mini to the samsung galaxy s4 mini so in the samsung's usual style after releasing their flagship a few months later they have now released the mini version of their flagship as they did with the s3 the s4 and now with the s5 now this is usually a little bit of a cut down version of the original flagship and it's usually quite popular with those who prefer more of a compact device so how does the s5 mini compared it to the s4 mini from last year well I do hit that thumbs up button and let's find out in this head-to-head spec comparison now looking at the size initially there is a bit of a difference in size the s5 mini is actually quite larger compared it to the samsung galaxy s4 mini six point five millimeters in terms of height three point five millimeters in terms of width and it's also zero point two millimeters thicker so can we still consider it mini it's arguable and it has a gun a slightly larger I mean it still should be quite comfortable to use in one hand and it's still going to be a lot more comfortable to use compared to the original s5 and it does also have a larger screen you've got a four point five inch screen compared to the 4.3 inch screen on the s4 mini so once again they have gone slightly larger but they did this with the s4 under the s5 as well from a 5 inch screen to a 5.1 inch screen so I think it's generally a bit of a trend where they're trying to get in a little bit of a larger screen or for the users so that way it is still usable but a little bit larger now in terms of the resolution that the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini has a 960 by 540 resolution that's 256 PPI pixel density this was quite disappointing for a lot of people because we were expecting a 720p display but it looks like something have taken that on board under the s5 mini does have a 720p display you've got 1280 by 720 and that works out to roughly about 326 PPI so that's definitely great to see that you've got 720p HD on the samsung galaxy s5 mini definitely a welcome upgrade compared to the s4 mini now in terms of the weight the s4 mini does weigh a little bit more as well in grams more compared to the s4 mini so once again a little bit lighter there in terms of the size under weight and that does partly come down to the fact that it's got a different build the s4 mini you've got that polycarbonate plastic build and it's got that glossy finish which wasn't very popular with a lot of people it did look and feel quite cheap the s5 mini they've gone fully perforated back with the dimpled soft touch finish now this is the same as the s5 now in my opinion it doesn't look very premium but it does feel very nice in the hand it's quite grippy and it's quite comfortable to hold as well compared to many other devices the other thing that you've also got on the s5 mini is ip67 of water and dust resistance so this is something that the s5 original has and they've continued this on onto the s5 mini so that's definitely good to see that you know can have any issues getting a bit of water on there to your device now the Samsung Galaxy s4 meaning some of the internals you've got a 1.7 gigahertz dual-core processor so not too great in terms of today's standards but a decent processor the s5 mini they have improved on this you've got a 1.4 gigahertz quad-core processor so you've got quad versus dual core here and it should perform better in the terms of your daily tasks as well as some more intensive tasks it's not going to be as good as at the s5 original now in terms of Rama the s4 mini came in 1.5 gigahertz for the 3G version and for the 4G LTE version you've got two gigabytes of RAM now with the s5 mini you've got 4G LTE but it's just the one point five gigabytes ram version that you've got so they've not gone for two gigabytes here maybe that's to keep a bit of separation with the s5 original which has two gigabytes of RAM so 1.5 gigahertz still isn't too bad it's still pretty decent for a smart phone in terms of storage versions the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini only came in the a gigabyte version which to be honest wasn't too great aching about its out of there you had roughly about five gigabytes of usable storage the s5 mini they've improved on that and now we've got a base model of 16 gigabytes so definitely that's beneficial you can have more storage on your device both of these also expandable microSD up to 64 gigabytes which is great to see on both of these devices that you can expand your storage and you're not going to be stuck with what you get now moving onto the cameras the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini has an 8 megapixel camera the s5 mini also has an 8 megapixel camera so they've not improved the resolution on the camera here now in terms of the actual sense I'm not sure if they've increased the size of it which is the reason why they've kept at the resolution the same we're not too sure about that they're not being clear about that we'll have to see hands-on results in terms of which camera performs better usually they do improve the camera sensor somewhat if it's not the resolution is the size so that we will have to wait and see video wise as well both of these can tell 1080p at 30 frames a second front-facing cameras we do have an improvement you've got 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera on the s4 mini on the s5 mini you've got a 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera capable of forming 1080p HD so you've got seven twenty verses 1080 here from the front facing cameras 1080i on the front facing camera is definitely great if you're going to be using it alongside your rear facing camera footage then having that consistency is a definitely beneficial now in terms of the operating systems that the Samsung Galaxy s5 mini is going to come with a KitKat so Android KitKat out of the box which is great so you're going to get the latest version of Android on idea device at the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini is currently on the 4.3 jelly bean I believe and there is rumored to be an upgrade soon I'm not sure about this by the time you're watching this video it may have come about but at this point in time it is still Android 4.3 in terms of some of the additional hardware features both of these do have an IR blaster which is great so you can control your television and things from your device but with the s5 mini they've incorporates some of the features from the s5 so you've got your fingerprint scanner on the home button so that's quite interesting that they've actually included this on the mini version in terms of the usage of this fingerprint scanner you have the swipes you have to be pretty accurate so in my experience of using it on the s5 it's not being absolutely perfect it's not bad but it's a not as good as some other devices out there and you've also got the heart rate sensor on the s5 mini something that you've got on the s5 so you can measure your pulse rate and then use it alongside some of your health apps so that's quite nice to see that you've got that on at the s5 mini these features are not available on the for many now moving on to the battery the samsung galaxy s4 mini has a 1900 milliamp battery that has now been improved on it to the s5 with a two thousand one hundred million battery both of these are also removable so we have got an improvement here which is nice to see finally looking at the price the samsung galaxy s4 mini right now you can pick it up for roughly about $350 in the US or roughly about 250 pounds in the UK so it has dropped quite a bit in price compared to when it was first released now at the s5 mini there's no confirm pricing as yet but I'd expect it to be roughly about $450 or roughly about 350 pounds maybe a little bit more but that's roughly about the price that you expect to see there's no confirmed release dates yet either they've said Russia is going to initially get it and it's going to be followed on by worldwide release we're looking at roughly mid to late July I would say as well so coming very soon and that was the comparison of the s4 mini versus the s5 mini we've got quite a few new improvements here especially in terms of the screen you've got that resolution 720p we've also got some of these new features as such as the heart rate sensor as well as the fingerprint scanner what do you think of the s5 mini will you be getting it do drop me a comment below and let me know your thoughts I hope you
