The iPhone 12 Mini is a powerhouse which comfortably fits in the hand. It adopts a stunning OLED display, A14 Bionic Chip, silky smooth iOS 14 software and 5G from its larger and more expensive siblings. We’re weary of big phones, yet sacrificing camera quality and performance is out-of-the-question and that’s where the iPhone 12 Mini, like Sony's Xperia 5 II, hits the sweet spot. Battery life isn’t world-beating, but it’s a small price to pay for pure pocket gold.

The iPhone 12 Mini is one of the best compact smartphones you can buy, and it has fantastic performance and cameras to boot....

Great design Compact size Super-fast performance Incredible ecosystem Quick to charge; even at 18W

No telephoto lens iOS is limiting No power adapter in the box Hard to wirelessly charge Sub-par battery life

Apple released four new iPhone 12 models in a total of three different sizes. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro both have a screen size of 6.1-inches, while the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max comes in at 6.7-inches; the largest for any iPhone model to date.

Strong performance; Photo quality is fantastic; OLED display; Small design

Battery life might be an issue for some; 5G support isn't widely available to benefit everyone

The iPhone 12 mini has no right being the cheapest model in Apple’s iPhone 12 family. Sure, on paper you’re spending the smallest amount on the smallest display, but – like the most engaging gadgets – the spec comparisons simply don’t capture the true charm.

Small size without power compromise; Same great cameras as on the iPhone 12; 5G supports fastest mmWave - if you can find it

Battery life could be better; No 120Hz display

In my books, the iPhone 12 mini is solving a specific problem, that of size. This is the best, and maybe only, phone for those who want a compact phone that fits in their hand, slips into a jeans pocket or small clutch purse and does not burst out of their shirt pocket.

The thing is, the Apple iPhone 12 Mini is more amazing than you may have imagined. This compact phone runs the fastest smartphone processor that there is right now. And may very well be till the Apple A15 Bionic (or whatever it is called) comes around.

Apple's iPhone 12 mini delivers the best price-to-power ratio of any 2020 iPhone, bringing top-of-the-line features to a phone that easily fits into smaller hands.

Perfect hand-friendly form factor; Excellent performance; Better battery life than other small iPhones

Shorter battery life than larger iPhones

Apple iPhone 12 mini: The perfect phone for those who prefer a smaller phone: wonderfully compact and a superb all-rounder

Compact and pocket-friendly; More powerful than most flagship Android handsets; Ceramic shield glass keeps scratches at bay

Short battery life; Still quite expensive
