Il suo arrivo era nell'aria, pertanto nessuno si stupirà nel sapere che Samsung ha annunciato ufficialmente Galaxy S5 mini, un compatto 4,5'' che del fratello maggiore ha poco più del nome ma anche quasi lo stesso prezzo, dato che il suo costo al lancio è molto vicino allo street price di Galaxy S5 (insert meme here NdR).

Caratteristiche tecniche - ormai dovreste conoscerlo abbastanza bene, ma diamo comunque un'occhiata dettagliata alle specifiche tecniche di Galaxy S5 mini, che praticamente coincidono con quanto riportato in precedenza:

  • Schermo: da 4,5” HD (720 x 1.280 pixel) super AMOLED
  • CPU: Exynos 3470 quad-core a 1,4 GHz con GPU Mali-400
  • RAM: 1,5 GB
  • Memoria interna: 16 GB espandibile
  • Fotocamera posteriore: 8 megapixel
  • Fotocamera anteriore: 2,1 megapixel
  • Connettività: LTE Cat. 4, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, IR Blaster, NFC, e GPS.
  • Dimensioni: 131,1 x 64,8 x 9,1 mm
  • Certificazioni: IP67
  • Peso: 120 grammi
  • Batteria: 2.100 mAh
  • Colore:  Charcoal Black, Shimmery White, Electric Blue e Copper Gold
  • OS: Android 4.4.2

Resistenza ad acqua e polvere, lettore di impronte digitali e monitor per il battito cardiaco: questi sono i più importanti elementi a comune tra S5 ed S5 mini, che per il resto sono due smartphone molto diversi nelle caratteristiche tecniche, ma non troppo nel prezzo.

Disponibilità e prezzo - Galaxy S5 mini debutterà in Russia nei prossimi giorni e poi arriverà sul mercato globale, verso metà luglio, ad un prezzo suggerito di 479€. La cifra non sembra ancora definitiva, quindi potrebbe (e speriamo lo faccia) subire variazioni al ribasso prima del lancio in Europa.

Ci sarà anche una variante dual SIM, Galaxy S5 mini DUOS, ma non abbiamo dettagli precisi in merito a disponibilità e prezzo per quanto la riguardano.

SEOUL, Korea – July 1, 2014 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the Galaxy S5 mini, a compact version of Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S5 mini delivers powerful performance, as well as the same dedicated fitness tools and enhanced device protection features found in the stylish Galaxy S5.

“We always strive to develop devices that appeal to a range of consumer tastes and styles.” said JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT & Mobile Communication at Samsung Electronics.

“The Galaxy S5 mini allows consumers to enjoy the iconic design and essential and useful features of the Galaxy S5 through a maximized minimalism approach.”

Galaxy S5 mini continues Samsung design legacy and flagship experience

Outfitted with a 4.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy S5 mini delivers a wide and vivid viewing experience, and its compact size provides users with additional comfort, allowing for easy operation with only one hand. Like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 mini features a unique perforated pattern on the back cover creating a modern and sleek look, along with a premium, soft touch grip. The Galaxy S5 mini enables users to enjoy the same flagship experience as the Galaxy S5 with innovative features including IP67 certification, Ultra Power Saving Mode, a heart rate monitor, fingerprint scanner, and connectivity with the latest Samsung wearable devices.

Powerful Samsung performance in a compact, portable device

The Galaxy S5 mini comes equipped with a powerful Quad Core 1.4 GHz processor and 1.5GM RAM for seamless multi-tasking, faster webpage loading, softer UI transition, and quick power up.

The high-resolution 8MP camera delivers crisp and clear photos and videos, while the Galaxy S5 mini’s support of LTE Category 4 provides users with ultra-fast downloads of movies and games on-the-go.

The Galaxy S5 mini will be available in Russia starting in early July and is planned to expand to global market. At launch, the device will be available in four color options: Charcoal Black, Shimmery White, Electric Blue and Copper Gold.
