Xiaomi E4 vs Samsung Galaxy S5: which is better? – Phonandroid

Date last updated: class=””> 19 h 52 min

It is easy to compare the Chinese Xiaomi, the company the origin of E4, its U.S. rival Apple, as its products seem strangely inspired. Yet when it comes to technical specifications, E4 seems more closer to the Samsung Galaxy S5. So, between E4 and S5, which is better?

When taking these smartphones in hand, the first thing that catches the eye, is of course the screen two devices. In this area, we one side an IPS screen on the Mi 4, and an AMOLED screen for S5 .

The IPS (In-Plane Switching) is actually a simple improvement of LCD technology that equipped so far most electronic equipment on the market. It was actually the answer to the question of how to have better response times to provide, for example, a better gaming experience

The technology also improves the viewing angle, reproduced better colors, and displays sharper images. But IPS screens also have one big disadvantage: they require a more powerful backlight, so most energy

The AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode ) takes a radically different approach to LCDs. Here are the pixels that emit light if needed – no need for backlighting. So, it is efficient screens battery. But that is not their only advantage they can display contrast without comparison, deep blacks and viewing angle is very wide

However. they have the disadvantage of being a little less bright than LCDs and as this technology is based on organic compounds, they degrade over time – implying that color rendering is little just degrade . The images are a little less clear (for S5 against 432ppi 441ppi for E4).

When you turn the machine, we discover that the Mi 4 runs natively under Miui V6 based on Android 4.4. 3 against Android 4.4.2 with TouchWiz overlay KitKat for S5, and not include a lot of “boufficiels” thus slowing performance.

In both cases, there was a quad processor Snapdragon 801 2.5 GHz , accompanied by a Adreno GPU 330. Xiaomi The E4 has however 3GB of RAM to 2GB against its competitor.

At the internal memory devices based both 16GB default .

We nevertheless note no Micro SD slot on E4 which does not allow to increase the storage capacity if required. From the point of view of the cameras, we two quite different situations. Start with Rear Camera: on E4, we have a 13 megapixel sensor with an optical whose aperture is f/1.8. On the S5 was 16 megapixels and an opening of f/2.2 -. should allow you to take beautiful pictures but less luminous than the E4

In both case, we can take videos in 4K, but as we have seen, memory on the Xiaomi E4 can quickly become a problem – there is still a 64 GB version that will relevant to determine whether you will do a lot of video. At the front, it was a very decent 8 megapixel sensor for Xiaomi E4, while the Galaxy S5 is satisfied with a 2 megapixel riquiqui surprisingly for a camera of this quality.

From the point of for connectivity was in both cases 4g, wifi, bluetooth – further testing will be conducted to achieve truly separate the devices in this field. Unsurprisingly, both devices are equipped with a GPS, become totally standard

The last point of our comparison. Battery. Xiaomi E4 comes with a battery of “minimum 3000 mAh» . We remain puzzled about this statement, especially as screen Mi 4 is, as we have seen, very high energy. face was a battery of 2800 mAh on an overall more energy efficient device.

Xiaomi no official announcement of autonomy. In case of problems, it is not possible to change the battery yourself . Conversely Samsung announces a credible 10 hours in heavy use and up to 21 hours on 3G – and its battery can be changed

Both phones seem to be argued on many aspects. and the choice between the two will depend very much on the use you make of it . However, the AMOLED technology, the presence of a Micro SD slot, and quality of manufacture (eg, one suspects, the battery is not interchangeable on E4) play, we believe, in favor of Samsung Galaxy S5

And you, the E4 and S5, which phone do you prefer
