The Neo range of Samsung back cyclically to market with products that have had a major success and that are revisited with some differences from the original. S3 and S3 Neo, Note 3 and Note 3 Neo and now S5 and its new variant Galaxy S5 Neo. If we were to consider the list price equal to 449 € Italy, S5 Neo would be a smartphone but hardly advisable to 299 € takes on a whole other connotation. Let’s find out together.
Hardware, Materials and Ergonomics:
Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo is virtually identical to the S5 in general because we have virtually the same size but a rear shell with a texture more dense and pleasing to the eye, to the touch. Camera and sensors are not changed even if we lose the front fingerprint reader that however S5 there had never really convinced.
Great processor Snapdragon solution passing from 801 to own Exynos 7580 with 64-bit architecture and GPU Mali T720. It does not change the RAM, 2GB and more internal memory that reaches 16GB. Fortunately it expands still all so replaceable battery and microSD this.

In his hand he holds up very well, it is not too heavy and the size makes it easy to handle with one hand. Clearly we are talking about plastic and definitely not the best smartphone in 2015 by design or construction quality with a view of recent devices but is a product of safety, and that does not show weakness.
With a panel 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED we have an ideal compromise between size and resolution. The screen density reaches 432ppi and features excellent viewing angles, practically absolute blacks and discrete bian. Saturation dell’Amoled not excessive and you can choose different parameters in the settings. Good overall brightness and visibility in outdoor (also thanks to the software) but clearly display a less evolved than that of S6 or Notes 5.
No problem with the touch screen and clearly present all those devices that allow to manage the smartphone with one hand only, have multiple windows on one screen and make the most of multitasking and floating windows.
Battery, Audio and Reception:
Really great autonomy. Thanks a balanced hardware, the processor owner and above all, a well-proven software, S5 Neo has a range greater than the previous S5. The CPU is virtually always cold, you never have slowdowns under stress and energy savings allow to increase even more the use, in the basic mode, of the device.
Good audio earpiece, through discreet handsfree croaks a bit ‘at maximum volume. No problem with receiving and using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.
Unlike the Galaxy S5, Neo has the last distribution Lollipop, or release 5.1.1. According to the latest information, not yet official, should also receive Android Marshmallow although currently expects confirmation of Samsung Korea since the Neo range is definitely known to be updated in subsequent distributions quickly (or at all).
The interface is virtually identical to that of S5 in the latest release even if we find support issues and one of the themes present you can have the same setup of Galaxy S6 terms of icons and colors general. Therefore looks quite modern, with good Material and applications which make the outline complete smartphone from a software point of view.
Internal He sees both the presence of Chrome, both the browser Samsung and both move well allowing the opening of any type of content. Of course, the speed at which you launch applications not like S6 but it is a smart phone that is used with pleasure. No denying that the Touch Wiz UI is quite heavy and that face, in some cases, a bit ‘as a bottleneck.
Present then all features Samsung classic, a good multi-tasking and a good process management. RAM is not easy but still be able to keep open many applications at once; some reloading will be present, Chrome in particular.
Just to say photographically. Pretty much the same performance of the Galaxy S5 that was one of the best cameraphone in 2014. In this case, the price of 299 €, difficult to expect more. Activating the camera center button is fast, comprehensive software and quality quite good.
They sin videos at audio that is a bit ‘muffled.
Excellent multimedia part where Samsung puts its proprietary applications, edited graphically but a bit’ heavy and at the same time surprising inserting the FM Radio application that has long missing on Galaxy midrange and high. A few problems with the games also heavy due to the internal memory enough.
Galaxy S5 Neo is a phone that probably many of our readers They have never considered but, like S3 Neo, turns out to be a pleasant surprise if purchased at the online price. Balanced, pleasant, but not lightning quick, has good battery life, good camera, good display and maximum expandability as well as being IP67.
Design, quality materials and appeal they were 2014 but this is the price to pay for variants Neo.
