According to Apple, the iPhone 12 mini is the world's smallest, lightest, thinnest 5G phone. And it has the potential to be the best small phone ever. But how does its size compare to Android phones and other iPhones? And would it be too small for you?

The iPhone 12 mini's 5.4-inch display is significantly smaller than the 6.2-inch Samsung Galaxy S20 6-inch Google Pixel 5 and other flagship phones. However, it is clear that there is still a market for smaller smartphones.

To get a better sense of the iPhone 12's size, let's compare it to the iPhone SE, other new iPhones, and its closest competitor, the Android phone.

The iPhone 12 mini has a 5.4" display in a very compact 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.29" body. To put this in perspective, the iPhone SE with its smaller 4.7" display is 5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29". In other words, the iPhone 12 mini, despite having a larger screen, is shorter and narrower.

The iPhone 12 mini is also one of the lightest phones, weighing just 4.76 ounces compared to the iPhone SE at 5.2 ounces. iPhone 12 mini adds 5G and a second rear camera, which is quite impressive considering that the iPhone 12 mini has 5G and a second rear camera.

The iPhone 12 mini looks almost tiny compared to the rest of the new iPhone 12 lineup. It is an ounce lighter than the regular iPhone 12, and being shorter and narrower, it should have no problem slipping into a front pocket (even skinny jeans).

However, keep in mind that the regular iPhone 12 is considerably more compact than the iPhone 11 because Apple has trimmed the edges around the display and made the device thinner. iPhone 12 measures 5.78 x 2.82 x 0.29 inches and weighs 5.78 ounces, while the Galaxy S20 measures 5.94 x 2.98 x 0.33 inches and weighs 6.84 ounces. Therefore, the iPhone 12 should be easier to use with one hand than the previous model.

The iPhone 12 Pro has the same dimensions as the iPhone 12, but weighs 6.66 ounces, which is likely due to the telephoto lens, LiDAR sensor, and stainless steel band. iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 bands are lighter aluminum.

The iPhone 12 mini is in a league of its own compared to flagship phones from Samsung and Google. It is much smaller and lighter than Samsung's Galaxy S20 (5.70 x 2.77 x 0.31 inches, 5.3 ounces). However, the Galaxy S20 also has a larger 6.2-inch display.

The Google Pixel 5 has a slightly smaller 6-inch screen and a shorter, narrower body measuring 5.7 x 2.77 x 0.31 inches, 5.33 ounces. The regular 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is much closer in size and weight to these two Android phones.

The iPhone 12 mini is definitely an attention-grabbing phone. And the millions of people using the 4.7-inch iPhone will find the 5.4-inch display a welcome upgrade. Especially when combined with a faster A14 Bionic processor, better drop resistance, and improved cameras.

However, we also feel that the iPhone 12 mini will turn away many shoppers as well, as many buyers consider a large screen a must when purchasing a phone. we will reserve our own judgment until we can review the iPhone 12 mini.
