My wife has an iPhone 5 and I'm looking to upgrade it. Is the S5 mini much of an improvement? At a brief glance many specs seem the same.As Milo said, if you don't want anything flash why not go for the S5 mini? I have an iPhone S6 plus for personal use and an S5 mini for work. The S5 feels tiny in comparison, but it's a capable phone and light years in front of a Blackbery Curve!

Thanks.I suppose it depends on what you need from a phone. The camera is definitely better, the speed is marginally quicker. Of course she would be moving from iOS to Android and that brings with it a whole host of options that the iPhone doesn't have. Equally I think the iPhone feels a lot more premium in the hand. In short I'd say if I were offered either I would take the Galaxy based on the camera. And that's from an iPhone fan!
I didn't know the compact was out already. It's a little up the budget scale but I do like Sony.The Sony phones tend to be pretty good @wx-tel - @scaramanga has sung their praises in the past
It might be worth checking whether the charging port is waterproof or if it's under a flap.Seriously interested @milo. My Daughter's partner has the compact Z4 and I do like the improved camera on this one which will get used, good overall size, 2 days battery life and waterproof are also in its favour, and plenty of Android apps that may be of use to me due to the................ "Android OS, v5.1.1 (Lollipop), planned upgrade to v6.0 (Marshmallow)" operating system,......WOW that has convinced me! LOL (who the hell thinks up these names?)
Could well be my first Sony mobile phone since about 1991 even though I said in my original post I did not fancy the current Sony's that I saw, including the aforementioned Z4 compact, but this...this i like!
Good point Scara, but while being 'waterproof' is in its favour it's not essential, it will have a case as well on it for added protection, if they are made for it yet or is it too soon I wonder?
