Samsung Electronics announced the launch of its new smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini. The much awaited device offers the flagship experience of its predecessor, the Galaxy S5, in a compact design. With a host of innovative features like water & dust resistance, ultra power saving mode and heart rate monitoring, the Galaxy S5 Mini delivers a powerful performance that truly enhances your lives.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Asim Warsi, V.P, Marketing, Mobile & IT at Samsung India, “We at Samsung believe in bringing meaningful innovation to our customers. And the best inspiration for innovation comes from none other than our customers. The Galaxy S5 Mini is yet another manifestation of the philosophy of people inspired innovation that drives Samsung products. This stylish smartphone is the perfect combination of performance and power in a conveniently compact design. Effortlessly smart and intuitively simple, the Galaxy S5 Mini empowers your life, helping take care of your well-being.”
The smartphone is no longer just an electronic gadget, but a daily companion – a fashion item that expresses your personality. Recognizing this trend, Samsung has paid careful attention to each part of the design of the Galaxy S5 Mini. The soft texture coating on the back cover comes with a special gloss that gives the Galaxy S5 Mini the look and feel of metallic leather, one of the hottest materials on the fashion circuit. Moreover, the coating not only provides a comfortable grip, but it is also anti-slip thus making it less likely to be dropped. This special material rarely picks up fingerprints and resists scratches, even from strong friction, which means that your device will always look brand new. The luxuriousness of the Galaxy S5 Mini can also be seen on the edges of the device. The metallic-finish, bezel edges are not only shiny, but also resemble the look of elegant platinum rings. The Galaxy S5’s distinct embossed pattern also adds uniqueness to its luxurious design.
The device also enables your versatile life with features such as water and dust resistance, ultra power saving mode and finger scanner. Samsung has addressed the increasing demands of customers for extended battery life by using Samsung’s low-power, Super AMOLED display technology that requires very little power, but still keeps images bright and sharp at HD resolution. The battery life has been further enhanced with the unique Ultra Power Saving Mode, which leaves only the most essential functions enabled, such as phone calls, text messages, or the Internet. It also switches the display to black and white, thus, significantly extending the battery life of your device and ensuring that you no longer have to worry about missing important calls when your phone is running low on battery.
