Design and Display
Compared to the iPhone 12, the mini's display is tiny (as its name suggests. This 5.4-inch screen means the iPhone 12 mini fits perfectly in most pockets, and those with smaller hands don't have to struggle to reach the edges of the screen. Along with the switch to OLED, Apple has also increased the pixel count to 1170 x 2532. Colours are vibrant and accurate as well.
Camera
The iPhone 12 mini has the same ultrawide and selfie cameras found on the iPhone 12. You're getting almost the same camera hardware as the iPhone 11, except the main wide-angle lens. But thanks to the new A14 Bionic processor, the camera performs better and has an additional unlocked night mode.
Battery
A smaller phone means a smaller battery, so expect slightly poorer battery performance compared to the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max. You'd still be able to get at least a day or even a day and a half of screen on time, but keep a charger handy just in case.
Value for Money
The iPhone 12 mini is a great phone if you are looking for a smaller phone that fits in your pockets. And at a lower price point, the mini does not shortchange you in any way: bar the smaller battery, you'd be getting the same screen, design, camera, and chipset as the iPhone 12.
