What are the top three things on your wishlist when looking for a new phone? Screen size, battery life, and memory? Speed, storage, and cameras, or size and weight of the phone? Let’s take a look at the iPhone 12 mini versus the iPhone XR.

iPhone XR – the best battery life

Need a phone that lasts the day and then some. Get the iPhone XR it will give you around 33 hours of battery life with average usage. That’s a good seven hours more than the iPhone 12 mini. The iPhone XR is by far the bigger of these two phones and that can be a good or bad thing, it just depends on your viewpoint. It has a 6.1-inch screen, which is brilliant if you love a big screen. But for the battery and screen size, you do get the extra weight, 194 g compared to the iPhone 12 mini’s 135 g. The iPhone XR measures 150.9 x 75.5 mm and the 12 iPhone mini measures 135.5 x 64.2 mm. The screens are not the same either, the iPhone XR has an LCD screen while the iPhone 12 mini has an OLED screen which has more pixels per inch 476 compared to 326. Which would suit you best?

iPhone 12 Mini – the best cameras

The iPhone 12 mini has the best cameras out of these two phones. At the rear, you have 2 x 12 MP with an ultra-wide lens, and at the front, you also have a 12 MP camera that’s capable of 4K video recording. The iPhone XR has just the one 12 MP rear camera and a 7 MP front camera with HD video recording. The iPhone 12 mini also offers a faster processor than the iPhone XR, better memory, 4 GB compared to 3 GB, and it is enabled for Wi-Fi 6.
