Today we are visiting at the moment it's already over The company's top device is the Galaxy S4. In the past fate, we began to test the mobile attachments, and we didn’t look around the device for the first time. Ale ahead of the day Release Galaxy S5 at the beginning of 2014 at Samsung increased interest in its lowest sales locomotive and presented a special version of the Black Edition. Formally, the price is a novelty, but for us it’s a wonderful opportunity to fill up this clearing.


Chim tsikavy samsung galaxy S4 Black Edition?

Vіn having removed the back cover "under the skin", it is in position with the "great brother" - the Note 3 model. Until then, it is based on the GT-I9505 modification, which is based on the Qualcomm processor, and not Samsung Exynos. Therefore, the smartphone supports LTE.

At the same time, one more modification was presented - Galaxy S4 La Fleur. This female apparatus of appointments for the beautiful half of humanity.


Ale, oskolki holy 8th Bereznya has already passed, increase the possibility of these smartphones, which are less decorated, we will be on the butt of the Black Edition.

In both cases, for about 20,000 rubles, we can get a device with a screen diagonal of 4.99 "and retail building Full HD (1920 x 1080) based on SoC Snapdragon 600 APQ8064AB, which has 2 GB of RAM on board. Let's revisit samsung specifications Galaxy S4 Black Edition.

Let's wonder what a smartphone is.

Packing and equipment

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition comes in a small, stylishly designed black box made of thin cardboard.


On the front side of the package there is a logo of the maker, on the back side there is a short summary of the main features and a list of complete accessories. Mustache - Russian mine.

Having opened the box, we were confronted by the smartphone itself, with a well-decorated transport sticker on the screen:

Complete accessories are listed at the bottom of the retailer. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition comes with:

  • Charging attachment;
  • Micro-USB cable;
  • A short help of a koristuvach and a guarantee card;
  • Stereo headset with replacement ear pads.


It is not possible to say that the equipment is especially wealthy, but everything is needed. All accessories, like a smartphone, are decorated in black color.

Starry look and construction

Samsung Galaxy S4 Black touch screen. Design - typical for other models Korean companies (and at the same time - Chinese masi). In smartphones, we immediately recognize the black Samsung.

Dimensions are the same as stellar Galaxy S4: 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm. Those same cost and mass in 130 rubles. No difference, no weight is not record-breakingly small for this diagonal screen, but the smartphone still has to be in the group of leaders for these showcases. For rahunok tsgogo, as well as zavdyaki sruchnіy form rear cover vikoristovuvat yogo flooring handily, the scallops vzagali tse can be a handy five-inch "shovel".

Alas, the Black Edition has taken off the rear cover, which imitates the skin. Out in the distance, and indeed, looking like a right coat, giving the apparatus a singing style. Nearby, it became clear that it was especially soft plastic. Ale, in a vague way, such a cover looks better, lower gloss of the great Samsung Galaxy S4.

І additional plus for the fact that the device from it is not forged in the hands, and on the back surface there are practically no traces of finger marks.

The device, as follows from the name of the smartphone, is available only in the black version.

The front panel is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The oleophobic coating on the new one leaves fingertips, but it is easy to clean.


On the front side of the animal there are: a loudspeaker, light sensors and proximity, front camera and a light indicator.


Yogo light bulb yaskrava, i remaining smartphones HTC, for example) it is miraculously visible under the be-yakim kut.

Indicator by staff, you can choose, for which of the following wines you can turn on. For example, at the time of a new notification, when the screen is turned on, the light blinks blue with an interval of ~1.5 sec. At front flagship Samsung - Galaxy S3 - the indicator lights up very rarely. It’s good to know that the workers of the brewers show respect for the rubbish and want to use new models, but also to correct the rubbish of their products.


At the bottom of the rest, there is a block, standard for the devices of a Korean company, consisting of two touch keys “Menu” and “Back”, and one of the hardware “Dodom”. The sensitivity of the keys is visible, the brightness of the lightening (there is a white color here) is enough.


On the back of the smartphone, near the upper part of the rear, there is a thirteen-megapixel main camera and a single light bedroom. And under them is the great glittering logo of the virobnik.


Closer to the left lower kut of the rear cover there is a small grille, behind which is the attachment of the sound speaker.

On the right side of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Black Edition, there is a button for life / blocking.

In levi - one "goydalka" regulation of density.

The 3.5 mm socket and the IC-port are located on the top, the microphone and the Micro-USB port are on the lower end of the extension.


To pick up a smartphone, it’s enough to carefully add a cover for a special key for life. All access to the battery and slots: SIM (micro-format) and memory card (MicroSD).

  • New - Cheap GTX 1060 EVGA SC Gaming
  • iPhone 7 - sales at the city. Look at the price!

  • Popular Korean virobnik mobile outbuildings The Samsung company recently updated (more precisely, slightly “refreshed”) the line of its top flagship Galaxy S devices, adding to the existing colors of the cases in its smartphones a little more color options, which made the series itself brighter, and the richer ones bought it. In the middle of the variety of diversity, a special line under the name Black Edition is especially seen - the very update of its top outbuildings in black color with a special catchiness at the same time advertising a Korean company at ZMI. There are currently two smartphones before the special Black Edition series: the top-end Galaxy S4 and the yoga mini version of the Galaxy S4 mini. Smartphones in the same line have a lot of features in their originals, although the stench may be only cosmetic and insignificant in nature. We tried to look at the updated mini-version, we called it the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition, but in our time we already downloaded the original product under the name Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition, as we see it today, looks like its original with a “under the skin” back cover: this device can be upgraded to the 4th generation, so you should remember about changes. Please contact our Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition for the lower model number, GT-I9195. In principle, the modification under this number was based on the original version, but at that time the prote mi protested against the simplest modification under the nomenclature number GT-I9190, without support for the LTE. In addition, that model was tested on older versions of benchmarks, but many of the lower benchmarks were not tested by us. So, in any case, you will be able to find out, as the results of the mini-flagship of the Korean company for the latest version of our testing methodology. Until then, in the rest of the hour, our test lab had a lot of similar parameters in smartphones in other varieties (we need to deal with dimensions, screen sizes and hardware platforms of the same level), so we will be able to match them with the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition model.

    Contents of delivery

    Series smartphones Black Edition depends on packaging. On a brown cardboard box, from which the boxes of all current top Samsung smartphones are boxed, the black series is packed in black-colored boxes. Matte dark cardboard may be on the outer surfaces of the minimum amount of information, in view of which the packaging looks stylish.


    In the middle of the box, there is a modest set of accessories, we add an insert that allows you to take part in the drawing of a trip to the football championship in Brazil. In the other configuration, the following is included: charger attachment(output stream 1 A), USB cable, stereo headset with wire round cut that with gel inserts-ear pads, as well as a sprat of paper books, neatly tied with a line.


    Zovnіshnіy vglyad that zruchnіst vikoristannya

    The sound of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition does not sound much, but it’s still noteworthy: the replacement of the plastic glossy back cover is here, in line with the new Samsung fashion, the cover with pseudo-shkiri is fixed. Tse, yak і vpadku z іnshimi aparaty kompanії, not spravzhnya shkіra, and molding plastic. Before the release of the Samsung Galaxy S5, it looked stylish, but now it’s already happening, it’s new textured with dots “shkіra”, stuck in S5, looking better.


    Resht in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition has not changed: the same folded front panel with a curved hardware button, the same trim around the perimeter, which may look like metal, but in fact it is made of plastic.


    The smartphone is small in size, and for the size of its small weight and non-slippery rear surface of the wines, it is comfortable to wear in the hands, and the chest lining of the shirts of the wines is not very vipiratima.


    For rahunok, the surface of the back cover, which imitates the skin, practically does not leave fingers on it, so marks here are only a glossy white edge and the front folds down.


    The lid of the smartphone is famous, it is traditionally attached to the decals of plastic straps and it is easy to remove - to secure it with a nigt there is an ice commemorative ledge.


    Under the cover there is a battery and card slots (SIM-cards and memory cards), but you can get to them only by looking at the battery. The SIM card here is converted to the Micro-SIM format, memory cards (microSD) are supported up to 64 GB.


    On the back panel you can see at the end of the chamber, as here it is square and framed by a chrome-plated rim, lower than a single light-colored sleeping bag.


    The grille of the vicious speaker is cut through in the plastic of the back cover and lightly lifts the device, which is lying on the table, behind the bent name of the twig.


    The grille of the pink speaker is a pretty chrome-plated scarf, cut right into the back of the screen. From it, you can see the eyes of the frontal camera and sensor sensors.


    The central hardware button is mechanical, as well as two traditionally implemented at the sight of sensors, which are illuminated by a bright white color.


    Two more mechanical keys are installed on the side faces along the sides of the body: right-handed - a button for life, a button for adjusting the volume.


    The side buttons are metal, even hand-stitched, may be soft and easy to press - in this plan, the products of a Korean company are one of the best on the market.

    Above, near the audio output for headphones (3.5 mm), you can find a small infrared transmitter, which serves to control various equipment in the form of a remote control panel. I’ll call Smart Remote to switch from model to model - naturally, it’s not here. Functionality Smart programs Remote - on top: it's not only good to put a smartphone behind the help of an infrared port with any kind of technology, or else it can act as an interactive program guide.


    The universal Micro-USB socket was traditionally put in the bottom end - unfortunately, the connection mode is not supported here outbuildings, so you can’t see the flash drive for the help of an OTG adapter.


    No matter what the ambiguous name of the Black Edition line is, on the company's website in the description two color modifications of this model are indicated. For tradition, they gave them romantic names: “Biliy Iniy” and “Black Fog” - however, the same photographs of the modification of the color “Biliy Iniy” are still not known in the distance.

    Screen

    Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition has a sensor matrix, based on Super AMOLED technology. The screen has a great reserve of brightness, on the bright sun the screen becomes unreadable. The physical size of the display is 53x95 mm, the diagonal is 4.3 inches. The size of the screen in dots becomes 960 × 540 (qHD), the dot per inch width indicator reaches 256 ppi.

    The brightness of the display can be both manually and automatically adjusted, remaining grounded on the light sensor robot. A smartphone and a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when the smartphone is brought up to the ear. Multi-touch technology allows you to process 8 one-hour dots. The frames around the screen are thin here - go to the edge of the case to the edge of the screen from the sides to become more than 4.5 mm.

    Detailed examination of the wikis vimіryuvalnyh priladіv provіv editor of distributions "Monіtori" and "Projectors and TV" Oleksiy Kudryavtsev. We suggest some expert thought about the screen of the last streak.

    The front surface of the screen is vikonan at the sight of a glass plate made of a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to the appearance of undercuts. Judging by the brightness in the display of objects, it is already an effective anti-glare filter, which overrides the decrease in brightness in the display of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen filter (we gave it simply Nexus 7). To be precise, we will point a photograph, on which the white screens show the surface (left-handed - Nexus 7, right-handed - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, further they can be distinguished by size):


    Through a small difference in the color tone of the image and the obviousness of the framework, it is important to visually evaluate the difference in the brightness of the image, while statistics graphic editor shows that the screen on the S4 Mini is actually a little darker (clearness behind the photos is 96), lower on the Nexus 7 (clearance is 100). Two of the objects that were beaten are rather weak, to tell about those that between the balls on the screen there is no repeated gap. On the outer surface of the screen, there is a special oleophobic (fatty) coating (more effective, shorter, lower in Google Nexus 7), to that it is much easier to see the fingers, but they are less swept, less pronounced.

    When viewing a white field on the entire screen and with manual shaping, the maximum value was 300 cd/m2, the minimum was 12 cd/m2. Ignorant of the meaning of yaskravostі, navіt with yaskravom daylight You can use your smartphone as a way to disable the effective anti-blind filter. It is also necessary to protect the fact that in a given situation, the less white area on the screen, the more light, so that the actual maximum clarity of the larger plots will be more likely to be higher for the indicated value. For example, when white is shown on half of the screen, the maximum brightness for an hour of manual adjustment rises to 325 cd/m². The mode of low brightness without any problems allows you to turn your smartphone into a new darkness. Pratsyuє automatic regulation of brightness of the sensor of lightness (Vin of right-handed rotation of the frontal guchnomovtsya). You can make a correction for a robot with a function before +5 alone. We gave for three minds the value of the brightness of the screen for three values ​​of the setting - for −5 , 0 і +5 . In the upper dark in automatic mode, the brightness changes to 12, 22 and 32 cd/m² normally (normal), in the minds of an office lighted with a piece of light (approximately 400 lux), brightness is restored to 85, 145 and 230 cd/meat (mostly) Overtilly Ohochennі (Vіdpovіda Ослітеленниннянненние заменные зазовансьные засітламныемамемамемамермамы, ale without a straight sonacious svіtla - 20000 LK Abo Trochi B_hSH) Піхих трах от 300 cd / m² for Schih Trioh Korkoreki's value, Scho Dor_vnuє Maximum with manual regular and vista, in principle for safe reading on the sun. Tobto given function pratsyuє absolutely adequate. With a decrease in brightness, modulation with a frequency of 240 Hz is established. On the little one below, the fallowness of the lightness (vertical height) is indicated for the hour (horizontal height) for three values ​​of the adjustment of the lightness:


    It can be seen, Scho at the maximum Yaskravosti MODULATSIA PRESCULATURY VIRSUNY (AMPLITIDU HOUSE FOR THE WITHOUT NEVENNOSTY MEREHTINNY), ​​ALLE SEREVNIA TA NA TO DOWN MODULES MODULES MODULES, TOM MEREKHTINNYY SOBERNYY MODUCHNY MOVA TO PUBLIC TO THE TESTI TO WAITING THE STROBOSCOCH EFECT EFECT. Fallow due to individual sensitivity, such a merehtinnya can evoke a heightened stubbornness.

    Which smartphone has a Super AMOLED matrix - an active matrix on organic light-emitting diodes. A new color image is created behind additional subpixels of three colors - red, green and blue in equal size, which is confirmed by a fragment of a microphoto:

    (For comparison, you can check out the gallery of microphotographs of screens that are featured on mobile technology.)

    The screen is characterized by miraculous kuta look around. True, the white color, when breathed on the visibly great kuti, fills with a light blue-green color, and the black color is simply overfilled with black under some kind of kuta (when there is a bluish aura, more delyanki can lightly hang and swell the "metal" look). The black color here is black, so the contrast parameter in this case simply does not stop. With a perpendicular look, the evenness of the white field is clear. For alignment, we will direct photographs, on which samsung screen The Galaxy S4 Mini, on the other hand, showed the same picture, with the screen clarity set to approximately 200 cd/m². Perpendicular to the screen white field:


    It is possible to note the evenness of the bright and colorful tone of the white field. І test picture (in the mode Standard(otherwise standard)):

    The transfer of colors is clearly bad, but with all the cleverness of the primus color balance of the camera, set to 6500 K, it is clear that the colors of the S4 Mini are clearly “colder” and may be too high. Now it's about 45 degrees below the hood to the flat to the side of the screen. More field:


    Brightness under the hood in both screens has changed noticeably (to avoid strong shading, the window display is larger and more equal to the front two photos), but at the Samsung window the fall in brightness is less pronounced. І test picture:


    It can be seen that the colors did not change much on both screens, but the brightness of the Samsung S4 Mini is more noticeable under the hood.

    The switching between the elements of the matrix will be practically mitt, and on the front (and more like switching off) there may be a convergence (or two) with a width of 16.7 ms (with a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz). For example, this is how the fallowness of lightness (vertical height) looks like at the hour when moving from black to white and back:


    In some minds, the presence of such gatherings can lead to trails, that it is practically impossible to reach for objects, that they collapse, but with such an overwhelming amount of strife, artifacts are practically impossible. Better yet, the dynamic scenes of films on OLED screens are breathtakingly clear and evoke a kind of "smikannym" ruhіv.

    The possibility of customizing the color is realized on the side with a choice of profiles, one of these may be automatic Adapt Display). As a result, one of the three fixed profiles was selected, krіm profile Dynamic, induced by 32 points with an equal interval for the numerical value of the gray gamma curve did not show the same obstruction in the light, nor in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximating static function is more expensive 2.26, which has three real, significant2 the gamma curve practically does not change in the presence of static fallows:

    For profile Dynamic The gamma curve has a slight S-like character, which contributes to the visible contrast of the image. Let's guess that in the case of OLED screens, the brightness of image fragments dynamically changes to the nature of the image that appears - it changes for light images in general and increases for dark ones. The result has been stripped of the fallowness of the gamma-curve (gamma-curve), the best for everything, the trochs do not show the gamma-curve static image, so the vimiryuvannya was carried out at the last sighting of the gray eye on the entire screen. This dynamism is increased by the hour of the choice of options Auto config. bright screen- the bright image of the troch is darkened, then the energy of the troch is saved.

    Colourfullness in different profiles Dynamic, Standardі Professional photography too wide and overcurved Adobe RGB:

    When choosing a profile Cinema (movie) choking up to sRGB cordons, but all the same, it gets a little wider:

    Without correction of the spectrum of the components in a good separation:


    Different profile Cinema with the maximum correction of the components and colors, now the trochs are mixed one to one:


    Significantly, on screens with wide swaths of color, the most beautiful images optimized for sRGB settings look unnaturally oversized. You can help on pointing more photos. Vtim, visual assessment showed that when choosing a profile Cinema the density of the litter decreases, and the colors become close to natural ones. A photograph of the screen, taken after the choice of the selected profile, is hovered below:


    It's a pity, most of the windows are shkiri, for example, all the same, they are a little overcrowded. The balance of sounds on the gray scale is good. Color temperature profiles Dynamicі Standard the light is higher than 6500 K, in two regions it is close to 6500 K The difference in the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) on the greater part of the gray scale is overlaid with the lower one for 10 units, which is considered a good indicator for a calm annex, and also changes slightly:



    (The darker areas of the gray scale in the greater brightness can not be trusted, because the balance of colors there is not of great importance, the change of color characteristics to low brightness is great.)

    Please note that the screen can reach the highest brightness and even more effective anti-bliss filter, that smartphone can easily fit the position of the host on a summer sleepy day. In darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. It is permissible to change the mode with automatic sub-stroying of the brightness, which works absolutely adequately. Before moving the screen, it is necessary to add an oleophobic coating that is close to the standard color balance (when choosing appropriate profiles). At the same time, we tell you about the main advantages of OLED screens: the right black color, the uniformity of the white field, smaller, lower in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the fall of the bright image when looking at the bottom. Up to a small amount, you can see the modulation of the brightness of the screen, which appears at medium and low values ​​of brightness. Coristuvachis, who are especially sensitive to merekhtinya, may have a heightened stubbornness. Tim is not smaller, the brightness of the screen is as high as a glare.

    Sound

    Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition has no special claims. The sound is rich and at the same time it is clear from the entire spectrum of frequencies - however, low frequencies are still not enough. The voice of a well-known speaker, the timbre and intonation are overwhelmed with recognition, the rose is entirely comfortable. To let the sound out, it is inserted into the back wall, so that the sound is muffled when the device is lying on the table.

    All sound effects when playing melodies by the standard programmable software technology called SoundAlive - however, some of them, for example, expanding the virtual stereo base, are only available with plugged-in headphones. Those same cost and function to optimize the sound.

    The smartphone has a built-in voice recorder, which can only serve to create sound notes - record with regular recordings phone lines from the line is not included. FM-radio for smartphones is also є, є the possibility of recording broadcasts from the air.

    Camera

    Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition is equipped with two digital camera modules. The front camera here is equipped with a 1.9-megapixel module, which takes 1392 × 1392 with a maximum capacity of 1392 × 1392. The quality of the captured photographs can be judged by hovering the test mark below.


    The main, tilova 8-megapixel camera captures the maximum size of 3264×2448 (3264×1836, to switch the capture mode from the widescreen side). The video camera captures the maximum resolution of 1920×1080 (30 fps). You can judge the quality of the video capture by pointing the test video below (video: MPEG4 Video (H.264) 1920×1080 30 fps 17 Mb/s; sound: AAC 48 kHz stereo 123 Kb/s).

    • Movie #1 (72 MB, 1920×1080)

    The dialing by the camera is standard for modern Samsung smartphones. It's a lot to finish, all the stinks are divided into three columns: for photo shooting, for video shooting and in the air. The icons are marked clearly and large, on a bright sun a whole commemoration. Different options for setting values ​​in the new combinations in ready-to-use modes, as a way to win in this other situation.

    Good sharpness of medium plans.

    On the front and middle plans, the sharpness is also a garn.

    Every now and then small pardons to the focus are trapped.

    It is worthy to finish the sharpness, and it is practically equal to sharping.

    Sharpness across the field of the frame is vіdminna. Remember the numbers of the nearest cars.

    Good sharpness is decent for 8 megapixel detail.

    Zyomka people vdaєtsya bad camera.

    The text of the good practice is practically not poshkodzheniya.

    The macro camera does well.

    One more butt to finish a good macro.

    Behind such signs, an enemy is created, that the camera has a small “back focus”, so that for an hour of shooting it focuses on plan after object. However, I don’t care about taking miracle signs. The camera is a kind of lens, which is good for the matrix. Software update even better: sharpening on the stars, bright natural sharpness, practically silent, commemorative noise in the shadows of the day, noise reduction working good. Navit those who have the most znіmkіv zroblenі with good lighting do not use the merits of the camera - the program does not slander those who looked so bad.

    Perhaps, you can make visnovoks, because there are no such small ones near the camera. It's a light "back-focus", which practically doesn't matter, and before that, it's programmatically enjoyed. The camera is good for artistic and documentary filming and allows you to take pictures of a smart smartphone flagship.

    Telephone part and communication

    The smartphone is standard in current merezha 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA and 4G (LTE); two bands of Wi-Fi are supported, є і NFC support. You can also standardly organize a wireless access point via wifi channels or Bluetooth. Supporting the fourth-generation technology of communication on short-range NFC lines - the design of the model with the index GT-I9195 is similar to the model GT-I9190, reviewed by us earlier. With the SIM-card of the official operator Megafon, the smartphone is practically instructed to know that it works with the LTE system.

    Mimovilnih rezavantazhen / vimknen for an hour of testing was not poserіgalos, so it’s like a galmovuvannya or the system hangs. A light sensor for information about the status of charging and inputs in smartphones, unfortunately, was not transferred.

    Promalovuvannya letters and numbers virtual keyboards Duzhe dry and not entirely comfortable for keruvannya. The layout and layout of the keys is standard for Samsung devices and is also not the most convenient: instead, just click on the button from the image of the globe on the image of the globe, then you can change the layout of the keyboards by the keys, madly, less easily. There is no visible upper row with digits - you need to change the layout of the digits on the letter and back. The phone program supports Smart Dial, so it takes an hour to dial telephone number At the same time, there is a search for the first letters in contacts.

    OS and software security

    Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition running on Google software platform Android version 4.2.2. On top of the standard OS interface, the company has installed a proprietary interface that we call TouchWiz 5.0 (Nature UX). Everything here is lined so by itself, like in the original model "min" for a little bit of additives installed programs, which did not exist in the original Oskilka model to lie down to the “limited” series, it was necessary to see it, and the retailers knew such a way. They installed a program in the smartphone under the name "Gift", which made it possible to deny access to the opportunity free download that installed kіlkoh additional programs. It’s true, I’m sure, the list of obitsianogo is not much in line with the list of really available supplements. There were only three available: the first license of Kaspersky anti-virus, the add-on "smart alarm clock", as well as a program for managing government finances - not a lot, frankly. Other programs from the list in the store itself did not appear, it is possible to put them later.

    At new version shellfish samsung touchwiz the main menu has been expanded into several tabs, the price of the innovation appeared earlier in original Galaxy S4. Now it is necessary to remember, which of these tabs have what to know. Dodatkovyh dodatkіv on the back of the head, a lot of it is inserted. More firms Samsung software united okremim types of services Google account, so for їх vikoristannya happen to be a creation th physical record at company services.

    Productivity

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition hardware platform will be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8960) single-chip system. The central processor here can have 2 Krait 300 cores, which work at a frequency of 1.7 GHz. Working memory the annex has 1.5 GB transferred, and the treasure, more accessible for the acquisition of personal files, storing a total of 5 GB with a nominal value of 8 GB - the decision was made on the system itself and the additions. Memory can be upgraded for a microSD card slot up to 64 GB, and the axis to connect a flash drive via an OTG adapter is not visible here - the device does not support this mode.


    In nature, there is a core modification of SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226), which configuration includes 4 ARM Cortex A7 cores - such a configuration is more common. On it, for example, the rest of the protests are being worked out by us Motorola smartphones Moto G, LG L90 and Asus Padfone mini (frequency of robotic cores from 1.2 GHz to 1.4 GHz). The robot of today's hero will be based on the SoC MSM8960, which is also called the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, and in it the central processor can have 2 Krait 300 cores with a frequency of 1.7 GHz. Well, it will be equal one with one of the hardware platforms, which may have identical names, but different processor cores.

    To assess the performance of the smartphone platform that is being tested, we will conduct standard dial tests.

    All the results, taken by us when testing a smartphone with the latest versions of popular benchmarks, were taken to the table for clarity. At the table, add a small number of other devices from different segments, as well as protests on similar ones other versions benchmarks (do not hesitate to estimate the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one match, it is not possible to present the results different versions benchmarks, to that “behind the scenes” there are a lot of good and current models - through those that stench in their time passed their “smugi transition” to earlier versions test programs.

    The results of the tests showed that the two large Krait 300 cores (1.7 GHz) of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition were able to compete against those ARM Cortex A7 cores, which had a frequency of up to 1.4 GHz ( Asus configuration padphone mini). Fixed platform configuration, which also has ARM Cortex A7 cores, albeit running at a frequency of 1.2 GHz, looks weaker. In principle, the results are entirely clear, however, all the same, varto pay respect to those who appear, the Snapdragon 400 platforms are absolutely different, and it is still necessary to respectfully look at more detailed specifications when choosing.

    As far as competing with MediaTek, then the MT6589 choti-core is the most suitable for pairing, as it can have 4 ARM Cortex-A7 cores. The Qualcomm system (Snapdragon 400) easily outperformed the leaked MT6589T version, which has a core frequency of up to 1.5 GHz. Part of the Adreno 305 graphics clearly outperforms the PowerVR SGX 544MP video system in all tests, which is included in the MTK chipset.

    Zagal, according to the results of all tests, the smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition can be safely ranked among the devices from the middle (make three to the top of the average) productivity. At the moment of tightness this smartphone it’s a duty to play for vikonannya it’s practical whether it’s a day, how you can put it whether it’s games or other programs Google Play store.

    Test results in javascript benchmarks:

    If you need to use benchmarks to evaluate the speed of the javascript engine, then you need to start working on those that have results in them that are exactly in the browser, in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be correct only on the same OS and browsers, but this can not be done when testing wait. For Android, we always need to tweak Google Chrome.

    Video creation

    To test the "all-inclusiveness" with the creation of video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, for example subtitles), we placed videos of the largest wide formats, which became the main mass of content, which is in Merezh. Respectfully, it is important for mobile devices to support hardware decoding of video clips on the chip level, it is most often impossible to acquire such options for the account of more than processor cores. Also, it’s not possible to check in the mobile annex for decoding everything, shards of leadership in terms of flexibility lie with the PC, and no one dares to insult it. All results have been reduced to a single plate.

    For results testing samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition is not provided with the necessary decoders, in this case sound decoders, which are necessary for the full processing of the largest files in the largest file. For their successful implementation, you need to get help from a third-party program - for example, MX Player. True, and in a new way, you can change the settings by switching to hardware decoding on the software subscription mode under the name Hardware+(Not supported by all smartphones), only then sound will appear. All results have been reduced to a single plate.

    Format Container, video, sound MX Video Player Regular video player
    DVDRip AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbps, MP3+AC3 seems to be normal seems to be normal
    Web-DL SD AVI, XviD 720×400 1400 Kbps, MP3+AC3 seems to be normal seems to be normal
    Web-DL HD MKV, H.264 1280×720 3000 Kbps, AC3 Hardware+
    BDRip 720p MKV, H.264 1280×720 4000 Kbps, AC3 works fine with decoder Hardware+ video plays normally, no sound
    BDRip 1080p MKV, H.264 1920×1080 8000 Kbps, AC3 works fine with decoder Hardware+ video plays normally, no sound

    ¹ the sound of MX Video Player is only changed after the switch on the decoding program or to the new mode Hardware+; regular player can't have such customization

    To test the display of video files on the screen of the attachment itself, we tested a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle, which move one step per frame (div. "Method of testing attachments on the screen of the video signal. Version 1 (for mobile attachments)"). Signs on the screen with a 1 s video display helped to determine the nature of the video file frames display with different parameters: the frame rate varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) pixels) and the frame rate (24, 25, 3 s). In our tests, the MX Player video player was selected in the Hardware mode. The results of this test are summarized in the table:

    Note: Same in both sides Equityі Overflows green scores were put up, which means that it’s better for everything, when reviewing films of artifacts, calling out to nervous drawings and skipping shots, otherwise you won’t see the sound, otherwise your number and memory won’t add to the comfort of the review. Red badges point to possible problems pov'yazanі z vіdvorennyam vіdpovidnyh files.

    Depending on the criteria for displaying frames, the quality of video files being created on the screen of the smartphone itself is high (for example, Full HD files at 50 and 60 frames / s), fragments of frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed with more or less equal number of intervals in frames and without gaps On a vіm, rіvnomіrne karguvannі іn є vіdno іnstіyky camp, oskolki yakіs zvіsnіshі і vіdnіshі vonovі protsesi privozdіvі to periodic zboya іnіrguvannya іnintervalіv іnintervalіv іnіzhіmi cadres i nіt omission іnіchnіh karіdі. When playing video files with a 720p and 1080p split screen and 16:9 aspect ratio, the image in the video file will be displayed exactly on the edge of the screen. The range of brightness that appears on the screen, in fact, appears standard range 16-235 - in the shadows of the whole pair of colors are angry with black color, but in the lights all gradations of colors are displayed. In the meantime, dark scenes can look no better, shards of dark colors should already be distinguished for their bright colors and colorful tone, which can lead to transcendental commemoration of artifacts of embossing.

    Hour of autonomous work

    The capacity of the lithium-ion battery installed in the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition becomes small for a modern smartphone 1900 mAh per year. Tim is no less, the device demonstrating virtuosity autonomous robots, for the umpteenth time, I will prove by numerical tests the truth about those that are not only an increase in the capacity of the battery itself, but also the correct approach to optimizing the energy supply of the building, it will be remembered that the reliability of the robotic apparatus as a whole.

    Before speech, s tsim pov'yazane one be-yak nutritious caution: we have chosen data on the capacity of the battery of a smartphone and the thrivality of yogo autonomous roboti unequivocally demonstrate that the two Korean companies themselves - Samsung and LG - have rushed far ahead of their plans . Seemingly simpler, if you take smartphones with the same batteries and equal screen sizes, then you will find them, better for everything, use the Samsung or LG devices themselves.

    Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) for the minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness of the bull was set at 100 cd / m²) took more than 16 years to fully discharge the battery. When watching YouTube videos without interruption, high quality(HQ) with the same equal brightness through home Merezha Wi-Fi the device was worn for 10.5 years, and in 3D-ihor mode - close to 4.5 years.

    Podbag

    As far as prices are concerned, it is already clear that the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition smartphone is on sale to stores in Russia since February 2014 for a recommended retail price of 16 thousand rubles.

    In general, we have in front of us a good smartphone with a side, although not maximum productivity, a firm AMOLED screen, manual controls, rich technical equipment (LTE support, infrared port that іn.), garnoy camera and vіdmіnno optimіzovanim software security with the widest possibilities for customization. The same in this model, as in the richest smartphones of the company, the same type of boring design, the materials of the body, which are not called premium, and the price is overstated, for which it would be possible to give the coristuvachas the right metal that sheet, but not the price. What is the cost of accessories of a smartphone to the Black Edition series, then you can’t be sure of an increase in varsity - for such a price, official prices are sold Samsung models Galaxy S4 mini GT-I9195, so in terms of choice, it doesn’t get enough taste.

    We encourage you to marvel at our video review of the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition smartphone.

    The Samsung Galaxy S4 model does not require special installation, the smartphone has become one of the most popular in 2013 with sales of more than 50 million units. Inspired by such a success, Samsung succumbed to the life of the S4 with small updates, so it came into the world. Black version Edition. The smartphone belongs to the La Fleur series, which is recognized for the female audience. The company was aware that people can get a smartphone in the original viconan. As a result, the Galaxy S4, having removed the black color of the body, a new style cover with textured covers under the skin, and a few updates to the TouchWiz theme. Let's see if a modified version can repeat the success of the original.

    Contents of delivery

    In a small box with the Galaxy S4 Black Edition, apart from the smartphone itself, you can also find a charger with a USB cable, which can be seen, and earphones.

    The headphones themselves are equipped with a microphone and a remote control, with which the stench is matched to the tone of the Black Edition, and not in the white color, which is often the case.

    Design

    per old-fashioned look The Black Edition may repeat the Galaxy S4 again. Models are only available in color and vikonannym tilnoy lids.


    The bezel of the Galaxy S4 Black Edition is coated let's go crazy Gorilla Glass 2, the display occupies almost the entire space, like the edging is turned into a black color.


    The edges of the smartphone body can be painted with a gray color and varnished.








    In general, the main material of the Black Edition case has not changed - the same plastic. Tim is no less, Samsung has added a little practicality to the model. The cover of the Galaxy S4 was glossy, and grimaced with cracked pins; Galaxy Note 3.


    Such changes have gone to the weight of S4, the smartphone has not only looked more solid, but rather lies in the hands. The new cover of the tiled cap is not forged by hand as much as it is glossy.

    hardware platform

    Planned technical characteristics so it went without change. Galaxy S4 Black Edition is equipped with a 5-inch touchscreen Super AMOLED display with 1920x1080 pixels, Exynos 5 Octa 5410 processor (4 cores Cortex-A15 - 1.6 GHz 4 cores + Cortex-A7-1.2 16 GB in memory , Yaku can be expanded microSD cards. The battery of the smartphone is also not changed, it can have a capacity of 2600 mAh and in the medium charge mode it will provide three times more per day of autonomy.


    Like Bachimo, in the same way as the S4, the productivity and autonomy of the Black Edition have not changed, but today it is enough for comfortable work with the extension. Similar to the new flagship S5, S4 Black Edition does not look hopelessly old.

    Software security

    Pratsyuє S4 Black Edition still pid Android management 4.3 from the TouchWiz proprietary interface. Samsung has announced that it will soon release an update to Android 4.4.2, but for S4 it has already been released.

    How does Black Edition look like S4 in terms of software security? Behind the great rahunka, only cosmetic changes, if you click on them, adapt the picture on the screen to the smart looking smartphone. In this rank, Black Edition otrimav more dark theme the design of the interface, the keyboard, as well as the new tapestries of the working table and the new set of melodies.

    Otherwise, there are no powers software security between S4 and Black Edition is not available.

    Camera

    2013 has a 13-megapixel rotation sony camera The Exmor RS in the Galaxy S4 was one of the best on the market. Having moved to the S4 Black Edition, she also did not waste her abilities.


    With good lighting, the camera demonstrates the sharpness of the image, which the flagship smartphones of this era cannot boast of.
