On these pages, we earlier reviewed the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Today, we complete our roundup of the iPhone 12 series with this review of the iPhone 12 mini, the baby phone in the pack. Or as some would call it, the pocket rocket of the iPhone world, given how it shares its hardware with the other iPhone series phones. In fact, when it comes to the core hardware, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini are similar, except the size and a couple of parts like the screen, battery, and - something I found while using the 12 mini - the stereo speakers.

In other words, what Apple is proposing with this phone is this: if you want a top-end smartphone but in a size that is closer to your old iPhone like the iPhone 7 or iPhone 5s, in 2020 the iPhone 12 mini is what you should buy.Lightest 5G phone
Apple terms the iPhone 12 mini the lightest 5G smartphone in the world. This is a claim that checks out. The iPhone 12 mini weighs just 133 grams, which is 30 grams lighter than the iPhone 12. It is even lighter than the Google Pixel 4A, a phone made of plastic with a metal frame, which is a surprise given that the iPhone 12 mini uses a metal and glass body. The reason why it is so light is its screen size. The 12 mini has a 5.4-inch screen, something that also makes the phone extremely compact. So compact that it is smaller than even the iPhone SE 2nd Gen, which has a screen size of 4.7-inch. Let's not get lost in the numbers, though. The key part here is that the iPhone 12 mini completely, totally, is a proven way, without any doubt, justifies the "mini" in its name. It is a small and light phone that anyone with somewhat smaller hands will appreciate.

iPhone 12 mini camera performance
The iPhone 12 mini has the same camera system that is in the iPhone 12, and the performance is almost the same. To recap: there are three cameras on the phone. On the front, there is a 12-megapixel camera. On the rear, there is a regular camera with a 12-megapixel sensor, and then a 12-megapixel camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens.
Here are the top features:
-- The portrait mode works on both front and rear cameras. And so does the Night Mode.
-- 4K video recording in up to 60FPS in standard colour format. If you wish to record the Dolby Vision video with 10-bit HDR colours, the frame rate drops to 30FPS.
-- The main camera has optical image stabilisation.
