[* black] And now its time for an epic [http://www.gizmag.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-vs-galaxy-s5-mini-specs-comparison/32786/|comparison compendium|new_window=true]: lined up for their mugshots are the Galaxy S5, Galaxy S5 Mini, and iPhone 5s.
[* icon_note] It looks like Samsung was going for a Goldilocks appeal with this "just right" sized phone.
[* black] The S5 and its [http://themellowjihadi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Screen-shot-2012-01-27-at-9.12.39-PM.png|mini clone|new_window=true] appear to be identical in form, just different in scale. For the number crunchers:
- [* red] The Galaxy S5 measures in at 5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 inches.
- [* orange] The Galaxy S5 Mini shrinks to 5.16 x 2.55 x 0.32 inches.
- [* icon_note] Quick subtraction shows that this Mini model shaved off 0.43" in height, 0.3" in width, and 0.04" in thickness. The question remains: does this minor change in size make a major difference in repairability?
+ [* red] The Galaxy S5 measures in at 142x72x7.9 mm.
+ [* orange] The Galaxy S5 Mini shrinks to 131.1 x 64.8 x 9.1 mm.
+ [* icon_note] Quick subtraction shows that this Mini model shaved off 10.9 mm in height and 7.2 mm in width, but added 1.2 mm in thickness. The question remains: does this minor change in size make a major difference in repairability?
