Comparison: xiaomi mi 4 vs samsung galaxy s5

This afternoon and to finish comparing some members of the Galaxy family with the new flagship of the Chinese company Xiaomi, we bring the final comparison between the Xiaomi Mi 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. Who would dare at this point to question the quality of each of these smartphones? We are talking about features that coincide almost perfectly in most cases thanks to the fact that the Xiaomi has its own end-of-range features high. Pay close attention to the article so that later you can make a correct judgment or at least get close enough to the reality of which of these two devices has the best value for money. Let the battle begin !:

Technical characteristics:

Designs: the Galaxy S5 has dimensions of 142 mm high x 72.5 mm wide x 8.1 mm thick and weighs 145 grams, so it has a size somewhat higher than the Xiaomi, which has measures 139.2 mm high x 68.5 mm wide x 8.9 mm thick and weighs 149 grams. The Mi 4 has a resistant plastic finish that gives it a certain robustness, reinforced by a stainless steel frame. We find it available in white color. The Samsung terminal, meanwhile, has a rear with small perforations that give it comfort when it comes to grip. It also has a security system based on the fingerprint scanner. The Galaxy also has resistance to water and dust. We can find it available in white, black, gold and blue.

Screens: The 5.1 inches that the Galaxy contains exceed by a minimum the screen of the Xiaomi, which has exact 5 inches. They do coincide in resolution, being 1920 x 1080 pixels in both cases. The Mi 4 has IPS technology, which gives it a great viewing angle and very vivid colors, while the Samsung features super AMOLED technology , allowing it to consume less energy, have more brightness and reflect less sunlight. The screen of the S5 also has protection against possible accidents thanks to its Corning Gorilla Glass 3 glass.

Processors: The Xiaomi brings with it a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 Quad-core SoC that runs at 2.5 GHz, a large Adreno 330 graphics chip and a 3 GB RAM memory, while the Galaxy S5 has a Quad-core CPU that works 2.5 GHz, an Adreno 330 GPU and a 2 GB RAM memory. As you can see, in this aspect they are very similar. As for the operating system, MIUI 6 (based on 4.4.2) makes an appearance on the Mi 4, while Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat does the same with the S5.

Cameras: the main objective of the Samsung is 16 megapixels, being superior to that of the Mi 4 and its 13 megapixels, both with LED flash, autofocus and many other functions, as in the case of the Samsung, which also contains functions such as Selective Focus (capturing with clarity what you want, giving depth and professionalism to your snapshots), higher speed between shots and shots, and a very precise light sensor, while from the Xiaomi we can highlight its Panoramic mode or its f / 1.8 focal aperture. They also present differences between their front cameras, containing 2 megapixels for the Galaxy and more than enough 8 megapixels in the case of the Xiaomi, which will always come in handy for making video calls and self-photos. Video recording is done in 4K resolution in both cases.

Internal memory: although both smartphones have a 16 GB model for sale, on the Samsung side we have another 32 GB and on the Mi 4 there is another 64 GB. The Galaxy also has a microSD card slot of up to 128 GB, feature that the Chinese terminal does not have.

Batteries: The 3080 mAh of capacity contained in the battery of the Chinese Smartphone are somewhat above the 2800 mAh that the Galaxy brings. Since at the performance level they are almost identical, with the exception of RAM memory, their autonomies can be similar, although the Mi 4 is a little higher; It all depends also on the type of use that we give to these smartphones.
