Editorial report
Apple iPhone 12 4 GB / 64 GB / China technical sheet
The iPhone 12 suits buyers who want a compact phone with a very sharp display, broad connectivity and a versatile camera system. Its main trade-off is the 2815 mAh battery, which is among the weakest capacities for phones of its time.
The 6.1-inch OLED display combines 460 ppi, 1200 nits and an 87% screen-to-body ratio. Its density, brightness and usable surface are among the best or better than most phones launched around the same time. At 164 g and 7.4 mm, the body is also among the lightest and thinnest. IP68 resistance covers water and dust down to 6 m. The 60 Hz refresh rate is worse than most, so the screen does not offer the smoothness found on many comparable phones.
The Apple A14 Bionic and NVMe storage put performance above most phones of its time. The camera is better than most: the main sensor has an f/1.6 aperture, optical image stabilization and 4K recording at 60 fps. Connectivity is among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, UWB and eSIM. Wireless charging at 15 W is also among the best, although the 2815 mAh capacity remains a clear weakness. This version has 4 GB / 64 GB, while the phone is sold from 4 GB / 64 GB to 4 GB / 256 GB. NeoScore: 5.8. Overall, it is a strong fit for buyers who prioritize size, display, cameras and networks over battery capacity.
