Editorial report
Apple iPhone 12 mini technical sheet
The iPhone 12 mini suits anyone looking for a genuinely small phone without giving up 5G, an OLED display or a capable chip. Its main trade-off is the 2227 mAh battery, among the weakest in capacity for its time, although it supports 20W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging.
The body weighs 135 g and is 7.4 mm thick, figures that are among the best of its time. Its 5.4-inch OLED display delivers 476 ppi and reaches 1200 nits; its density and brightness are among the strongest, while the 60Hz refresh rate is worse than most. IP68 protection resists water and dust.
The Apple A14 Bionic, 4 GB of RAM and NVMe storage give it better performance than most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu result is among the best. Connectivity is also among the best, with 5G, Wi‑Fi 6, NFC, eSIM and dual-SIM options. iOS 18 and direct OS updates add to the package.
The 12MP rear cameras offer an f/1.6 aperture, optical image stabilization, 4K video and Dolby Vision, but their resolution and 1/2.55-inch sensor are worse than most; there is no optical telephoto camera. Overall, the phone is typical, with design, connectivity, performance and camera strengths, but a battery among the weakest. Its overall NeoScore is 5.5, making it a clear choice for buyers who prioritize a compact body.
