iPhone 12 mini vs iPhone 12 Comparison

iPhone 12 vs iPhone 12 mini

While Apple is arguably the undisputed leader in high-end smartphones, the brand has not forgotten users with slightly lower purchasing power. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini have been designed with this in mind. Although they both offer exceptional performance, they are both more affordable than the other models in the 12 series.

iPhone 12, a larger, more readable screen

Very similar in design, both iPhones have a notch in their OLED Super Retina XDR display, allowing for 3D facial recognition, known as Face ID. But it's the size of the screen itself that varies between these two models. On the iPhone 12, it is 6.1 inches, compared to only 5.4 inches on the iPhone 12 mini. The larger screen is therefore more suitable for users who view a lot of content on their smartphone. In terms of performance, they both have A14 Bionic, equivalent storage capacity (64, 128 or 256 GB) and are also compatible with 5G technology.

iPhone 12 mini, a smaller iPhone 12 mini

The iPhone 12 mini is more compact and has a smaller screen (but very pleasant for everyday use), and its price is lower than that of the iPhone 12. It costs about 100 pounds less. The only reason for this price difference is due to the more compact size. The photo quality of the two devices is similar, the iPhone 12 and 12 mini both have a 12MP main sensor with a 26mm telephoto lens (f/1.6) and a 12MP second sensor also with an ultra-wide angle lens (f/2.4). The result is stunning in terms of both colour and sharpness, even in low light.

Are you looking for a powerful smartphone that is also compact? Then the iPhone 12 mini is just what you need. With its OLED display, powerful components and excellent photo quality, it will meet your expectations. And it's a little cheaper than the 12 too! The iPhone 12 on the other hand, is suitable for all users who like to view content on their smartphone. Its larger screen is more pleasant to use (6.1 inches versus 5.4 inches). You can find the cheapest iPhone 12 deals on Back Market.
