            Used to own the original SE for years and loved it. I have a pixel 4A now that I got for the camera. I want to go back to the Apple system and now these are coming down in price used. Is the camera better or at least comparable to the pixel?

                KANSBOY, 07 Nov 2021why then are so many people saying the mini 12 battery is crap??i wanted to buy one but after ... moreEasy. Because some (I don't want to be rude) type of people, buy the iPhone 12 mini and then use it the same as they would use a 12 Pro Max.
                Bottom line, know your priorities and then make the purchase. Don't buy the iPhone 12 Mini as your primarily phone for gaming, watching hours of movies and videos on YouTube, then complain about the battery life. Just get a bigger phone. iPhone 12 is just a little more expensive and much better battery life. Or go for an Android phone, something like Samsung S21.

                    iPhone 12 mini is my first venture into the Apple ecosystem and after using the device for a week, I'm more than satisfied with everything the mini offers.

                    My budget was very limited and my initial choices were the SE 2020 and the iPhone 11. But, I happened to get a good deal from an online retailer for the 12 mini 128GB variant, almost at the same price for SE 2020 128GB variant from the Apple online store.

                    I'm posting this opinion for just one simple reason - To dispel prospective buyers' concern about the mini's battery life.

                    If the phone is primarily used for making calls, texting, reading a bit of news/articles, watching short video clips, making payments, bit of navigation and occasional camera usage in a typical day, then the battery can easily last for an entire day.

                    The 12 mini fulfills my expectations - compact, premium build quality, Stock OS (I come from Mi A1 and Motorolas) IP rating, manufacturer support for at least a few years (based on Apple's track record) and ease of use. A very capable camera module and Face ID are just bonuses.

                    To wrap it up, if gaming and binge watching are not on your daily agenda of your smartphone usage, iPhone 12 mini can be a great device for you, if 13 mini is out of your budget range.

                        The main thing I would say is if you have stubby thumbs, you will enjoy the iphone 12 a little better.

I'm using it since August 2021. Very smooth, fast and reliable. The battery is quite good too. For regular use (no gaming), I can use it for 2 days.

                              in terms of battery i would say it has a decent one
                              we have started using a phone more like a computer, tv and a gaming device
                              even a 5000+ mah battery android is not sufficient for it and wont last an entire day
                              but if you use a phone like a smartphone - casual camera usage, decent amount of calls/social networking, etc. it will easily last an entire day
                              also make use of smart tools like inbuilt battery saver, sleep apps etc to level up the battery.

Warranty might replace the battery if it ... moreBattery is the poor chapter of this phone. A good phone with poor battery. I have the phone since 3 months now and sometimes when it reaches 50% it drops to 17-18% in less than 60-80 minutes. So keep it in the charger starting with 50%. For me it is ok since I am not a power user and I have a secondary phone for social (Android :))). For a power user this battery would be complete garbage.
