How good is the iPhone 12 mini display?

iPhone 12 Side

As the name suggests, the iPhone 12 mini is one of Apple's smallest handsets with a 5.4-inch screen, but that doesn't mean it skimps on quality. And it was dubbed 'the smallest, thinnest, lightest 5G phone in the world' when it was first released.

It's durable too. New Ceramic Shield material from Corning is said to be 4x stronger than any previous iPhones.

The Super Retina XDR display has a true edge-to-edge look that's twice as bright as the iPhone 11. The iPhone 12 mini also has an IP68 water resistance rating.

How good is the iPhone 12 mini camera?

There's a two-lens set up on the back of the iPhone 12 mini which helps you take sharp photos thanks to Apple's excellent image software.

The iPhone 12 mini delivers what Apple calls "powerful computational photography" thanks to the A14 Bionic chip and the and a new dual-camera array.

You'll get both ultra wide camera and wide camera with an ƒ/1.6 aperture that gives you fantastic low-light photography and videos. And with night mode better than ever, your photos after dark will look great.

How good is the iPhone 12 mini for video?

Like the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 mini has Dolby Vision included, which means it can record in high dynamic range (HDR) video format. The iPhone 12 mini can record video in 4K at 30fps, which is pretty powerful for such a small device.

However, while it is capable of great video recording it’s just a little less powerful than the iPhone 12 Pro models which can shoot in 4K at 60fps.

How long does the iPhone 12 mini battery last?

The iPhone 12 mini 2227 mAh battery is smaller than other iPhone 12 batteries, and so as a result doesn’t last as long. Continuous use browsing the internet would drain the battery in under 11 hours, and continuous video playback would take just over fives hours to drain it completely. Not terrible considering its size and an overall longer-lasting battery than the similarly-sized iPhone SE.

What is the difference between iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max?

The smallest and largest handsets in the iPhone 12 range have a few similar features, but in terms of specifications they are wildly different. From cameras to battery life, screen size and processing power, the iPhone 12 Pro Max outstrips the iPhone 12 mini in every way – including price.
