Now the bigger question is- Should you buy this phone? Well, if you are a first time iPhone buyer, who is looking for a phone that fits into your pocket and palm well, you could consider this small wonder. However, for some the size of the iPhone 12 mini which features a 5.4-inch display may be too small, considering we live in an era of smartphones with huge displays.
Small screen size may be good for carrying around, but it may not be convenient or at the least enjoyable, if you watch web series or movies on your smartphones. Also, while playing games, the phone might feel a little inadequate.
This is where the iPhone 11 with a much bigger screen and a lower price seems like a perfect option if you don’t want to shell out a lot of money. However, if you strictly want a phone with a small screen, there is absolutely no reason why you should not consider the iPhone 12 mini.
Another factor that might not impress you is the battery. Owing to its small form factor, the iPhone 12 mini accommodates a smaller battery. It was reported that iPhone 12 mini has a 2227mAh battery, which is smaller than what the iPhone 11 has.
At a time, when we have smartphones with 7000mAh batteries, 2227mAh does not sound like a practical option. A report by TomsGuide suggested that on a single charge, the phone lasts only up to seven hours, which is too little compared to the two-days battery life that most Android phones at this price come with.
Having said that, iPhone 12 mini is quite a powerful piece of tech to own as it has all the attributes of its elder sibling, the iPhone 12. It is powered by the fastest chipset, the A14 bionic and features great cameras. These are some factors you should consider before buying the iPhone 12 mini.
