darkraver, 13 Sep 2014Here, have a look at comparison, z3c beats all no matter wh... moreMy god, you call that a win for Z3c? Samsung is excelling with exceptionally low noise here, the Alpha is actually very impressive, better than S5.
For me i still chose xperia though, Samsungs just cant get it right under other than perfect conditions and i dont zoom in my photos to look for noise and invisible details anyway. Xperia photos look the best overall except on a sunny perfect day outside. My idea of having fun is different, i dont go out in daytime to enjoy taking pics of buildings and flowers and trees like sammy fans do =)

s5 mini p... moreRemember that also Z1c fall in price.
I understand your points but i dont share your love for those features, like IR, i dont even want the option. About fingerprint, seems lots of Sammy fans are not using it, i think we can safely say that if its not Apple TouchID it isnt very useful for unlocking.
Anyway, S5 Mini is an ok choice if price drops enough.

AnonD-293547, 13 Sep 2014And now using iphone sales?? Wow!! Get all the back up you ... moreStill its true, iPhone 6 will sell more the first weekend than Z3c will sell in its active market cycle combined. Its the peoples choice, they dont ask you what to look for in a phone, they buy the one that is best for them, and the good news is that you can do the same, buy the one that is best for you, and you can do so without getting illusions of grandeur. Face it, you can be Z3c fanboy as much as you like but it doesnt affect other peoples buying decisions.

I had both high end samsungs and Xperias and cant say the difference is noticeable, all phones have hiccups, its called Android. I dont know why Nexus users always saying thir phones are perfect coz theyre not, its just that the battery runs out before they can experience the hiccups. And the first Nexus 7 was so stuttering that you even had to allow some extra time for the stutters to start. (cough Tegra...)

advice, 13 Sep 2014good specification does not mean top specification,the z3c ... moreWell, S5 Mini is a bit weak and likely noticeable, but i will readily agree that a fast processor alone does not make a high end device. Z3c could just as well have had a weaker chipset since they didnt want to go all the way to make it a flagship, its soooo annoying that they reduced the RAM from the 3GB in the Z3, which can actually be useful, instead of keeping a high end chipset that Z3c cannot even take advantage of due to its annoyingly low display resolution. And i blame GSMArena, they are the ones who love to put weird ideas into peoples heads, making all the noobs here think that what modern smartphones need most is faster chipset. Again and again we see very powerful phones getting "chipset is not latest" listed under Cons in reviews.

you should not need "validation" of your purchase by having everyone else in the world buy the same stuff you do. Thats crazy. Common, but crazy.

Is it possible to disable auto focus when recording video?
GSMArena reviewers, why don't you test this? In some reviews you write about whether is it possible to freeze/disable the autofocus, but why don't you test it in all phone reviews?

AnonD-248419, 13 Sep 2014what? s5 mini has good spec? take a look at this
http://ww... moregood specification does not mean top specification,the z3c has better processor, better ram and better GPU than s5 mini but who will notice the difference in performance?
the s5min is a lag free for most of the users,but for people who like to play high end graphic games on their phones the s5mini is not for them.

nothing to brag about. except finger print scanner, amoled, and water resistant maybe. it's just mediocre phone with Galaxy S5 name in it, just for marketing.
