Summary
- The QMobile Noir S5 features a 4.8-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini has a slightly smaller 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of ~326 ppi.
- In terms of performance, the Noir S5 is powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, whereas the Galaxy S5 mini utilizes an Exynos 3470 with a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and 1.5GB of RAM, providing a slight edge in multitasking.
- Both devices have an 8 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, but the S5 mini offers a better f/2.4 aperture for low-light conditions and a lower-resolution 2.1 MP selfie camera compared to the Noir S5's 8 MP front camera.
- The Noir S5 houses a 2300 mAh battery, slightly larger than the S5 mini's 2100 mAh, but both lack fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The Noir S5 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, while the S5 mini originally comes with Android 4.4.2 KitKat but can be upgraded to 5.1.1 with TouchWiz UI, offering a different software experience.
