The battery life of the iPhone 12 mini is probably the biggest concern for every potential buyer's, and rightfully so. The Apple iPhone 12 mini packs a 2,227mAh battery - that's about 20% smaller than iPhone 12's but about 25% larger than the one inside the iPhone SE (2020). The iPhone 12 mini fully supports DCI-P3, and it automatically switches to this gamma when DCI-P3 content is sent to the screen. The iPhone 12 mini display offers excellent color accuracy - we measured an average deltaE of 1.8 and a maximum deviation of 2.7 against sRGB targets. There is no maximum auto boost on any of the iPhones, but this max brightness level is respectable enough for convenient use on an OLED panel. The minimum brightness is impressively low at 1.8 nits. We did our usual display measurements, and we measured 627nits of maximum brightness on the iPhone 12 mini. On the other hand, there is 120Hz touch input making the iPhone displays very responsive.Īpple promises 625 nits of typical brightness on the iPhone 12 mini and a peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits. Not that Apple introduced this feature on any of the iPhones this year.

The screen works at a 60Hz refresh rate though nobody really expected the cheapest iPhone to come with a 120Hz display. Like the iPhones before the 12th generation, this one also comes with True Tone adjustments, Wide Color support, and it has the Haptic Touch feature provided by the Taptic Engine beneath the screen. The Super Retina XDR OLED screen supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision content. The entire front of the iPhone 12 mini is flat and is protected by the new Ceramic Shield glass by Corning. Apple is very punctual when it comes to consistency, and sometimes it's not for the best. The giant notch has the same size across all iPhones, and thus it becomes an enormous eyesore on the 5.4" screen of the iPhone 12 mini. It packs a 5.4" Super Retina XDR OLED with one very Android-ish resolution of 1,080 x 2,340 pixels or 476ppi - the highest pixel density on an iPhone so far. The entire iPhone 12 generation uses OLED panels, even this iPhone 12 mini.
