The chip is a 5nm manufacturing process, 6-core CPU + 4 core GPU , Integrated 11.8 billion transistors, with excellent performance.
iPhone 12 Mini is equipped with a wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lens dual-camera configuration. In addition to the iPhone’s consistently good camera experience, the latest highlight this time is the support for shooting Dolby Vision 4K HDR video. The screen is a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR super retina screen, 460 PPI pixel density, 1200 nits peak brightness and high contrast characteristics will bring an excellent user experience.

With the development of the information network and the improvement of hardware performance, the mobile phone tool not only meets people’s previous communication requirements for it, but also needs to meet entertainment needs such as watching movies and playing games on a large screen. Therefore, the overall appearance is gradually changing With the development of large sizes, words such as "plus", "pro", and "max" have also appeared in the naming of new models launched by major manufacturers.
However, not all users want to hold a large-screen mobile phone. "Cannot fit in a pocket" and "uncomfortable to hold" are their common descriptions of the shortcomings of large-screen mobile phones. In the context of the widespread introduction of large-screen mobile phones, occasionally when manufacturers launch small-sized mobile phones that can keep up with the current hardware performance standards, they will certainly attract widespread attention.
The iPhone SE launched by Apple in 2016 exploded like a small steel cannon in the mobile phone circle, as if to bring people back to the stunning moment of the 5S era. In addition to Apple, Samsung, , Xiaomi , and some niche brands have launched small-screen phones that are “against the trend”, such as Samsung’s S10E, Xiaomi’s Mi 8SE launched in 2018 and Mi 9SE launched in 2019.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the development and design of small-size mobile phones is becoming more and more difficult. The 5G chip consumes a lot of power. Under the premise that the lithium battery technology has not made leapfrog progress, the small size of the mobile phone means the small battery size, and the small battery brings the problem of poor battery life. Nowadays, many people are accustomed to opening two mobile phone cards, one living and one working, which requires the mobile phone to have dual-SIM dual-standby function. What's more, in Africa, where a large number of network operators are mixed, four-card four-standby The mobile phone is not a rare item. In terms of camera capabilities, high-performance camera hardware modules are generally larger in size, which is not friendly to small-sized bodies. The existence of various objective problems above
is also part of the reason why Xiaomi did not continue to launch the Mi 10 SE in the Mi 10 series released in early 2020.
Some users are not satisfied with the specifications and configuration of the iPhone 12 Mini this time. The disputes mainly focus on the battery capacity and only supporting a single card. "Battery with a capacity of more than 2000! It's still a single card! This is the standard for backup machines!" Some users commented.
Apple was able to launch the latest small-size mobile phone when it launched its first-generation 5G mobile phone. It can indeed be seen that it attaches great importance to this part of the small-screen mobile phone user market. As for the development of small-size mobile phones in the future, we may Still need to wait and seeWait, see how the major manufacturers choose.
