This is the sort of feeling that you will get with the iPhone 12 mini with its design being reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The phone comes with a more durable build that makes it look and feel modern. The device has the same flat-edge matte aluminum design that is similar to the iPhone 12.

The apple logo is spotted at the center of the back part while the front features a Super Retina XDR display and hosts the 12MP camera.
SUPER RETINA XDR OLED DISPLAY
The phenomenal screen that is found in the iPhone 12 mini is one of the best that has been seen on an iPhone. The company has for the first time brought the super Retina XDR OLED technology. The resolution is higher than that of the iPhone 11 and matches that of the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The screen is 5.4 inches and enables you to comfortably reach all corners when using the phone with one hand. The resolution further works out to 476PPI with pictures being crisp and clear.
CAMERA
Even the smallest iPhone 12 benefits from the dual-camera system that is found in iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. The camera setup can be closely linked to that of the iPhone 11 but several tweaks come along. One can find the 12MP standard camera with its f/1.6 lens being able to give out a 27% increase in low light performance while the optical image stabilization system being able to deliver 5000 micro adjustments per second. The sensor can capture 4K HDR videos at 60 frames per second.
Enjoy selfies and video calling with the 12MP sensor that gives out an impressive quality while Portrait mode works well thanks to the 3D depth sensor. The ultra-wide lens can produce a wide lens as compared to Pixel 5 and pulls in more of the surroundings. The camera controls all distortion and results in an image with more color and deeper contrast. Low light performance has been greatly improved while going from the f/1.8 on iPhone 11 to f/1.6 on iPhone 12 mini. It performs very well in dark settings while the Night Mode works well with both the rear cameras.
You will be more than amazed by how the camera can brighten the exposure while shooting in near-complete darkness and allow the photos to feel as though they have been shot in daylight. Portrait shots are doable as the phone alters the background to focus on your face through blurring or filling the background with a color.
