Small but efficient

IPhone 12 mini incorporates the main features of the iPhone 12, but with a more modest 5.4-inch screen. Its compact size is very appreciable and fits easily in one hand – which is quite rare these days. On the screen side, it does not have to be ashamed of its big brothers, it has the same technology, namely an OLED Super Retina XDR screen. It is unfortunate for this price, to have only a refresh rate at 60 Hz, but Apple would keep this for the next generation.

Even in terms of performance, the iPhone 12 mini is housed in the same boat as the models of its generation. It is powered by Apple’s in-house processor: the powerful A14 Bionic chip. It is quite simply one of the most powerful configurations available on smartphones today. You will be able to run any application, such as greedy 3D games, with perfect fluidity and with maximum graphics settings. Note that the iPhone 12 mini runs under the latest version of iOS 14 with its countless widgets that we expected so much. It is also compatible with the 5 G network.

A convincing photo module, but a battery that quickly runs out of steam

For photography, the Mini version benefits from two photo sensors, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a wide angle. It also takes advantage of the Night mode which will allow you to capture photographs in low light. It offers beautiful shots, without however achieving the prowess of the objectives of the Pro models. On the video side, the smartphone is capable of recording videos up to 4K at 60 frames per second or even in HDR Dolby Vision up to 30 frames per second.

The iPhone 12 Mini is not a champion when it comes to battery life. With its small size, it will not be able to achieve the same endurance as some competitors, which offer a 5,000 mAh battery. But thanks to iOS optimizations, the iPhone will last a whole day, if your usage is still moderate. You’ll be able to rely on fast charging, and wireless charging via MagSafe makes it easy to reclaim a few percent of the battery. Note that you only have the USB-C / Lightning cable to charge the device (no AC adapter in the box).
