When passed the test bracelet Samsung Gear 2, the company “Cifrograd” provided smartphone Galaxy S3. Then I thought it would be interesting “twist» Galaxy S5 and behold, all of a sudden, the idea materialized.
To be honest, I’ve always wondered Samsung’ovskim “spades”. Personally, I find them very uncomfortable to use. Maybe it’s a matter of habit, but some time ago, a friend gave me to study and resuscitation nedoplanshet, also known as “smart phone on steroids» Galaxy Note. For the week to get used to his size and could not.
But the mini-version of me in this respect, happy – almost everywhere you can reach out with one hand. For one thing – their characteristics are also somewhat stifled, compared to the “full” counterparts.

Appearance and controls
The first feeling that comes when you take it in hand – feeling somewhat unreliable design. Amplifies it even more when you remove the back cover – it seems to be very thin and fragile, but declared dustproof moisture-shock IP67 tells us otherwise. By the way, the fact of having a removable lid also a little surprised. Or maybe I’m just used to the monolithic “bricks” – I do not know.
On the front panel, everything is standard – screen button Home (with built-in fingerprint scanner), touch buttons “Back” and “Menu “and at the top – the speaker, light sensor and front camera.
On the left side is a button, volume control wheel and the right – off button machine. Headphones can be plugged into the connector on the top edge, there is an infrared diode to control appliances and charging accordingly on the bottom. Here lies and microphone.
Behind – speaker, camera and sensor pulse.
Of course, after reading about dust and moisture-shock could not just take and do not bathe the unit. To be honest, looks shaky design of the rear cover of trust did not cause, but … reluctantly phone was shipped in a container of water.
But there was no reaction. Phone continued to work as if nothing had happened.
Under the hood was a little damp, but all that was found inside a rubberized loop – it was dry.
As already mentioned, in the hand of a smartphone is really easy to work with him quite conveniently with one hand.
The quality of the screen is very good. In the sun, the picture remains quite readable. Here to add or subtract – screen S5 Mini on quite a decent level, although the resolution could have been done a little more.
Fingerprint scanner – a very popular “trick” in recent times. The scanner works fine, too, defines instantly, although it requires the correct holding finger.
In the system, you can enroll 3 fingers.
Telephone kindly provides several attempts to unlock, and then for safety reasons include a timeout unlock.
Battery and power saving mode
The handset Li-Ion battery capacity of 2100 mAh, the manufacturer announced up to 440 hours of standby time, up to 20 hours of talk time, and up to 10 hours of video playback and 60 hours of music listening.
Of course, a good increase in operating time gives you a smaller screen size, so with an hour of calls, about an hour of being in the Internet, hours of music playback, you can hold out for two full days.
But one of the chips is the power consumption mode … off color.
Mode maximum energy savings as it disables the background programs, ie, different messengers in this mode will not work.
However, as in this mode 10% of the battery can “pull” the extra couple of hours the machine.
into the phone 8 megapixel camera , LED flash. The camera is identical to the Galaxy S3, it is the same type solution. The quality of images is very good, there are no complaints there.

Results
