iPhone 12 mini the best Small smartphone

 The iPhone 12 mini stands out among the small but very good phones. Apple has managed to put everything that makes the iPhone 12 great in a smaller frame. Thus the smartphone has flagship performance, excellent camera, new design, 5G, but weaker battery.

The latest line of Apple smartphones had a surprise model, the iPhone 12 mini which is a smaller phone but with all the technologies of expensive models.

With an initial cost of $ 699, the cheapest Apple phone stands below the $ 12 iPhone 799, the $ 999 iPhone 12 Pro and the $ 1,099 12 Max Max.

The iPhone 12 mini is identical in appearance to the iPhone 12. It has a design as clean and sharp as the more expensive model with aluminum side, rear window and new ceramic screen shield that Apple says is four times longer. impact resistant.

The modern OLED screen has a size of 5.4-inches diagonally but significantly smaller than the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 12 model, although it leaves nothing short of quality. The screen is as wide as the 4.7-inch iPhone SE but 1.6mm longer thanks to Face ID.

The benefits of a smaller phone are many, from the ease of use to the pocket but also its disadvantages. The small width allows the fingers to meet each other as you write a message with both hands.

The biggest problem remains screen space. Viewing documents on the iPhone 12 mini is a pain as you zoom in, zoom out and browse.

High performance, unsatisfactory battery life

iPhone 12 mini has the same A14 Bionic processor with 4GB RAM as iPhone 12 and iPAd Air with the same excellent performance and 5G. This way the phone does not sacrifice size with performance.

One of the areas where the iPhone 12 mini has lost ground is the battery life which stands for 37 hours between two charges compared to 40 hours on the iPhone 12.

Described simply the iPhone 12 mini lives from this morning until the evening of the second day using it for basic things like 1 hour video watching, 10 photos, 5 hour music on Spotify and 2 hours on 5G. Video recording and playing intense games significantly reduces battery life.

It takes 25 minutes to charge the battery to 50% but about 100 minutes for a full charge using the $ 19 20W USB-C charger. Only Lightning cable without adapter comes in the box. Full charge of the smartphone with the MagSafe wireless charger requires a full 3 hours.

OS: iOS 14.2

iPhone 12 mini comes with iOS 14.2 which can be installed on all iPhone models starting from 6S to the latest. It works the same as on the iPhone 12 including widgets, the App Library with new privacy tools and the Apple Translate app. For more you can see the analysis done iPhone 12.

Camera

The iPhone 12 mini has the same rear camera with two 12-megapixel sensors and a 12-megapixel selfie camera found on the back and front of the iPhone 12. They behave the same.

The wide-angle main camera captures great photos with improved detail and performance in low light compared to last year’s models. With the ultra-wide camera you can take fun pictures while the lack of a telephoto camera for optical zoom is a step backwards. It is worth noting that Night Mode works with all cameras on iPhone 12 models.

The video recording quality is unmatched especially with the advent of Dolby Vision HDR 4K if you are one of those who like movie recording.

Price

The iPhone 12 mini costs $ 699 for the 64GB model, $ 749 for the 128GB model and $ 849 for the 256GB model.

For comparison, the iPhone 12 costs $ 799, the iPhone 12 Pro $ 999, the iPhone 12 Pro Max $ 1099, and the iPhone SE $ 399. The Galaxy S20 starts at $ 899, the Google Pixel 5 at $ 599 and the OnePlus 8T at $ 549.

New Mercedes without steering wheel

 The Vision AVTR is a future concept car from Mercedes-Benz.

Here is Vision AVTR, the futuristic concept of the Mercedes car, inspired by the movie "Avatar". The car replaces many basic controls to be better with the driver.

This car does not have a steering wheel and pedals, and instead of the steering wheel it has an interactive control similar to me in the central legislation, reports Lajmi.net Inside AVTR, the car starts when the driver is placed on the central control lever. Equipment used by drivers to accelerate, brake and straighten the car.

Instead of one or more screen infotainment, the progress section of the cab is just a giant curved screen module that projects real-time views of the road ahead. You can choose to light up with 3D graphics in ‘Pandoras’, the world invented from the 2009 film in ‘Avatar’. To access various features for the car, remove the hand from the center lever and so that a control menu appears that you can switch with gestures.

The body of the car uses the model and one with Mercedes with a bow, like much before other concepts of automobile manufacturers, if you use a massive glass and do as transparency. The all-electric concept features four motors, one on each wheel, which together makes a combination of 469 horsepower. The battery and it manages a total output range of up to 600 kilometers.

Xiaomi Mi 11: It's expected that Xiaomi will be first out of the door to confirm that it's going to be using the latest Qualcomm hardware - so we're expecting an announcement during the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in December 2020. No other details have appeared, but we'll know something soon enough.

Huawei Mate X2: Huawei's next-gen folding phone reportedly has the codename Teton and will shift from the design of the original Mate X with the display on the exterior to one with the display on the interior. Not a lot else has been said about this phone, but we might see it showcased in October 2020.

Nokia 7.3 5G: Nokia is looking to add another affordable 5G phone to its selection and it's rumoured that this phone will use with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 690 5G hardware or MediaTek Dimensity. Nokia has confirmed it's working on more affordable 5G device and that there will be devices on this new Qualcomm hardware in the future.

Nokia 9.3 PureView: Rumours of a new flagship have been circulating for well over a year, with no sign of the elusive handset. There was the suggestion that Nokia would be holding an event in November to launch new devices however, and the Nokia 9.3 PureView might be on the list, but it's been some time since we've seen any leaks - and more recently, a leaked doc has hinted at a Nokia 10. We now suspect there will be a February update.

Samsung Galaxy S21: The Samsung Galaxy S21 could take Samsung in a slightly cheaper direction with an interested inegrated camera housing in the top corner of the rear. A 6.2-inch flat display could adorn the S21 and we're assuming there will be a larger S21+ launched alongside. Rumours are suggesting a January of February 2021 launch.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra: Samsung's next-gen of smartphones are already seeing numerous leaks. We're expecting a February 2021 launch, we're expecting the Ultra to keep the big battery and big megapixel cameras and we're expecting next-gen 5nm processors from Exynos. A design with huge rear camera housing as recently leaked, showing off a fresh new design.

LG future flagship: LG is said to be preparing a future flagship phone launch, which is expect in Q1 2021. Little has been said about what to expect, but the general feeling is that it's going to be based on the V series of devices.

OnePlus 9, 9 Pro and 9E: OnePlus has been fairly regular in launching its devices and spring 2021 would be when we'd expect to see the OnePlus 9. Rumours are suggesting the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro and perhaps a more affordable model called the OnePlus 9E. Renders have surfaced, making the OnePlus 9 Pro looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE.

LG Velvet 2: It's thought that LG will be launching an update the Velvet - the Velvet 2. It's expected around March 2021 on updated Snapdragon 700 series hardware - probably to be announced at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit. Little else is known about the phone, but we expect it to be an incremental update.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: Samsung is focusing its efforts on foldable phones and we're expecting it see a new Flip in 2021. So far the only information we've heard is that it's expected to launch separately to the Galaxy S update, so we think it will appear in June 2021. The display is said to get an update to 120Hz for smoother scrolling.

Apple iPhone 13: The iPhone 12 has only just launched, but we're already hearing that Apple might be looking at an under-display Touch ID system. Knowing Apple, the design of the new iPhone would take the same design as the 12, but will it reduce the notch on that display?

Xiaomi flip phone: Xiaomi has shown off a number of folding prototypes in the past, but now there's talk that the company is looking to source components from Samsung Display. It's believed that Xiaomi is interested in producing a folding phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. There's also been some code discovered in MIUI hinting at a future folding phone.
