iPhone 12 Mini vs iPhone 12 vs SE – Full Comparison!

hey guys it’s max we just got in the brand new iphone 12 mini and today we’re not only gonna compare it against the iphone 12 see how much smaller is it genuinely and how much more comfortable in the entrust is it but we’re too gonna compare it to the other small-minded iphone the iphone s e and be seen to what extent large-scale of a difference do we have we’ll also compare the performance we’re going to take a look at the parades and be seen to what extent much of a difference does oled certainly see we’re going to compare the speakers touch id against face id and much more let’s go ahead and open up the mini and i on purpose didn’t even look at these at the apple place because i wanted to have an honest first action okay let’s do this thing out i’m gonna peel this off right away okay wow okay so it’s heavier than i thought i thought it’d be a bigger difference i didn’t look up the specs side by side but this thing is so mini when you situated it up next to the 12 that’s when you really notice it it’s really weird that length smart it seems like a doll it is so small but the feel in the pas and the value concludes it was just really payment and frankly regarding in my hands right now the 12 mini feels heavier than the 12. Now i know that’s not true at least i’m guessing so i’ll have angelica was put forward the values right here but it’s just because it’s so compact and it’s so much crammed into such a small device it feels a lot more dense now before i compare all of the exterior gaps with the 12 and se let’s talk about chargers certainly you guys probably are aware of the brand-new telephones don’t come with chargers but in fact the iphone se no longer comes with a five wall brick either so you’re gonna have to buy charger if you don’t already have one now apple would be happy to sell you theirs for 19 but we would suggest fastens because appear how much smaller this thing is and it situates out the same 20 watts now inker’s not a direct patron hitherto but i was only still show this because it’s not only is it cheaper but with that if you’re going to be bill your telephone with magsafe it actually charges faster we actually did an ultimate charger comparison that you guys should check out after this video now that we’re mentioning mac safe i do want to say that the 12 mini does not agree with this full 15 watt pinnacle blaming it actually is limited to 12 watts now this is where it gets a little bit interesting the 12 will accept the peak 15 watts but not for very long not a good deal of people talk about this it actually goes down to six watts after it starts heating up a little so what i’m really interested to find out is if the 12 mini will go even lower than that and that is something that we’re going to cover in our review of the 12 mini we’ll make sure you get that info to you guys so make sure you guys punched that subscribe button and help us get to 500 000 customers before 2021. Now i have to say that even though i was majorly disappointed in magsafe in my eventual charger test i’m still experiencing exerting it there’s something very satisfying about it clicking on like that and then you heard it said that little chime come up and you can use it like this as long as you don’t need fast accusing it is nice and on top of that last few days i’ve been testing out the magsafe pouch with my iphone 12 pro and i liked it a lot more than i thought i would based on different videos so let’s go ahead and settled it on look at that it fits perfectly it’s like it was realise for the iphone 12 mini wow okay gripping this thing in the side that feels incredible it felt good on my iphone 12 pro it various kinds of filled in the way your hand continues but it feels stunning here and the fact that it actually matches up the leading edge to the edges perfectly it only feels so natural and with that look at that it doesn’t pop off anywhere near as readily as on the other telephones because it parallels up perfectly you’re clutch the whole thing at the same time and you can’t time easily rotate it and get wise off so if you’re somebody that wants to use the wallet you want a minimalist kind of design and size this is perfect and it feels so good in the entrust and of course with the se it is not going to work because we don’t have any magsafe magnets now let’s compare the design inconsistencies and i want to start off with the emblazons plainly this blue dads like crazy and i’m not frequently a fan of off-color but i love this one and regrettably i have to say for the 12 mini i have just been the product red i am not really a supporter if we placed it side by side with the se which is also product red you guys will see how less rich of a red this is some people call it salmon i don’t know i’m seeing pink i like the deep darker red of the product red sit if we take a look at the the make here it is lighter it still looks like red on the mini at least on the sides but serviceman well wish they affix with this color i also have to say that i love the brand-new camera jolt they’re inscribing into this glass it starts it look very payment route better than the old-school way of only having a little lens with the little reverberate around it now it’s interesting that the camera humps are the same between the 12 and 12 mini everything’s identical but the apple symbol is actually smaller let’s go ahead and stack these up next to each other and this is probably the biggest difference i’ve seen so far usually phones are fairly similar the 12 is taller but also quite a bit wider the difference is pretty substantial so what does that mean for comfort in the pas well the 12 feels cozy you have a really nice clutch because of the flat rims let’s try out the 12 mini and it surely feels smaller in the paw but comfort smart it’s not as big-hearted of certain differences as i expected that’s very interesting let’s grab the se all right the se is more comfortable frankly because of these rounded borders it only feels a little bit softer against your palm and it’s weird it feels quite a bit thinner because of the raptor’s rims as well and technically it’s 7.3 millimeters comparison with 7.4 but it feels quite a bit thinner let’s go ahead and load these two up next to each other and wow so the se even though it’s really small it’s still taller and wider than the new mini so that’s very weird to see i wasn’t expected to have as large-hearted of a difference and putting him in the side you honestly can’t feel as much of certain differences as you insure visually and as far as the chassis and the buttons the 12 minis and the 12′ s button is much larger and it’s really clicky it feels really nice whereas the sc has this really small one it’s not mushy but it’s definitely not as delightful feeling and then on the opposite side of course we have the publication buttons that are slightly larger our sim tray actually moved as well and on the 12 and 12 mini we have this 5g antenna on the two sides and we’re going to talk about 5g and data hurryings in general in exactly a bit and now switch to the front so you guys can see a big divergence the iphone 12 has a larger screen at 6.1 inches the mini is a 5.4 inch screen and then the sc has a 4.7 now the mini done a lot smaller than the se but the screen is much greater crowds in the whole phone which is nice you don’t have that big chin and forehead and i have to say that it feels weird holding the se and realise those big you know forehead and bezel it only feels so much nicer with the full screen now with that we have a difference in design all the new iphones have a directly flat edge so the screen is completely flat and then it encounters the frame whereas the se it arches over the two sides and we have a little plastic set that you probably can’t see but you feel the difference between the glass the plastic and then the metal make and the brand-new schemes certainly feel more premium of course with the mini we have this notch cutting into the display that’s because we have face id there and let’s go ahead and do a immediate assessment face id versus way id we just press down pretty quick you can actually do it all in one step precisely by pressing down and you’re there whereas with face id you either have to raise it and then it’s going to turn on the screen and then swipe up or you can tap on the screen and swipe up and as far as raced i mean they’re both very quick it’s hard to tell a difference and for availability i love face id and hours where you don’t have a mask you if you’re wearing gloves it was better tasks whereas if you’re wearing a mask touch id is definitely nice now you might think that the face id sensors are smaller because everything’s smaller and that’s actually not true if we employed them side by side like this the whole notch is identical in immensity but because the screen is smaller all of the icons “ve got to be” cramped in there and they’re quite a bit smaller as well now one thing that almost nobody knows about is that the bezel on the 12 mini is actually the thinnest bezel out of all of the brand-new iphones the pros the pro max they’re able to skinny it down only a little and let’s compare the display panels themselves the brightness a better quality the 12 mini is identical to the 12 pro other than size so i’m going to scoot this over and we’re going to compare lcd versus oled i’m surprised that i can actually tell a difference in terms of clarity or sharpness the icons and the textbook review more crispy on the 12 mini than the se which still has a retina flaunt that’s because the 12 mini actually has the most detailed screen in terms of pixels etch out of any of the iphones now the next thing i want to take a look at is the shift in brightness we have lcd versus oled and if we glance from the side the se goes much darker if we’re not watching perfectly precisely facing us whereas the oled screen doesn’t have any issues and the good thing is the new 12 s they have the best oled screens that don’t turn blue from the side and now let’s compare the brightness both are set to manual brightness okay quite interesting the new one does seem brighter but not by that much and that’s because the 12 and the 12 mini their presentations their oled showings are limited to 650 nits which is similar to a really good lcd flaunt like the one we have in the se the pro mannequins those can actually get brighter now we also have a difference in terms of hdr so these oled screens they can actually get up to 1200 nits if it needs it okay this is interesting we’re setting up to compare hdr and i am only modernized the youtube app and is not simply does the sc now played in in hdr but it also earmarks 4k60 playback now as you can see the se actually has a larger video if we’re not zooming in on the iphone 12 mini now right away i see a massive difference the iphone 12 mini looks like hdr we have nice contrast it actually is sharper even if they are the video streaming is the same and the shinings time pop so much better is not simply that but in the darker incidents we have a lot of contrast blacks are pure pitch-black because of the oled screen instead of kind of gray and subject even the colours they’re a little bit more saturated they pop a little more the 12 time gives you an hdr examining know now if we want to fill up the whole screen you are going to cut out a part of your persona so some of the components get cut off that does give you a little bit more of an immersive know-how without the huge chin and forehead but we do have that notch trimming into it overall the iphone sc hdr video doesn’t look like hdr it looks like just policy options where the button comes up whereas a 12 instant video looks great with that said if you watch a lot of videos the iphone 12 gives you a much larger display it’s definitely noticeable and it is more immersive because of that larger screen now as far as actual quality i can’t really tell certain differences if i look close in this shot right there the building it actually looks a little bit sharper with the finer detail probably because of the extra pixel density but it is almost identical and now it’s time for our loudspeaker comparison i have to say i’m expecting the 12 mini to perfectly smoke the se because there’s been so many contemporaries of amendments and i guess it’ll be cool is how large-scale of a difference there really is but what i’m most inquisitive about is how it stacks up in comparison with the regular 12. This phone is much larger so are we still going to get the newer nicer loud talkers or do they have to downgrade them so i’m going to go ahead and separate this up into two separate speaker comparisons so we can tell the actual difference go ahead and put on your best pair of headphones or the only pair of headphones you have and let’s take a listen[ Music] where we started you guys let me know your thoughts down in the comment section below which one clangs more effective and why now i have to say that i was a little bit wrong i was expecting a bigger difference now there are definitely some clear differences some that you guys may not be able to hear because we’re recording through a mono mic and going you are familiar with through youtube but uh the bass amazingly was basically the same mids were a little bit richer on the 12 times same thing with the high-priceds they’re a little bit more crispy and abrupt just like the rest of the new phones now where i noticed the biggest difference was the stereo hubbub listening to the se a lot of the sound majorities coming from the bottom speaker and the earpiece loudspeakers fling it in a little whereas the 12 mini sounds perfectly balanced much more immersive now along with that as far as the crest work this is actually the same i use my apple watch to test and both of them peaked at the same exact 81 decibels that’s pretty close to the phone so no differences in volume now the next thing that i’m curious about is how the 12 mini compares to the regular 12 so let’s go ahead and take a listen[ Music] once again let me know your thoughts down in the comment section and i have to say yes my speculations were correct the regular 12 is louder than the 12 mini and it clearly reverberates better the 12 mini it doesn’t sound bad it resounds delightful and balanced but the mids and the bass in the 12 my goodness it is a big jumping much deeper much richer the high-pitched frequencies are mostly the same and then we do get a little bit more loudness as well so with the larger phone you do to be all right talkers and if you watch a lot of movies without headphones it’s gonna help and now let’s get into performance starting off with data rushes as you may know apple is really pushing 5g on all of the new iphones and not to say it actually does matter even if you don’t have 5g in your metropolitan now what’s very unique about this year is that for the first time ever all of the iphones the 12 the 12 pro the pro max in the mini have the same exact antennas with the iphone se you actually had a worse antenna and modem than the iphone 11 pros the se actually has two by two antennas instead of four by four so you would take a hit in hurries and receipt now with the newer telephones we actually did a knot of testing already here’s some shots from our previous test and the brand-new 12 s are so much faster as far as internet hastens even if you don’t have 5g in your municipality the standard lte is much faster that is also because we’re employing snapdragon modems now and even the 12 mini the cheapest one has the very best x5 5 snapdragon modem and if you look at some other android phones for the cheaper smaller telephones you’ll get worse quality reception and hurries in the last few weeks i’ve seen a big difference both to its implementation of rushes and festivity and that’s comparing uh 12 pro against my 11 pro max which has even better feelers than the se so if you guys want to see a real world comparison go and check the video that i acquired that also includes tethering if you use that and now let’s compare the processor and graphics performance i have geekbench 5 opened up now and we’re going to go ahead and move the cpu research one thing you’ll notice is that we do have a difference in ram the iphone se has three gigs of ram just like the previous iphone 11 whereas the 12 mini and the 12 they have four gigs of ram like the older 11 pros so how much of certain differences does that clear in their real world well i don’t think it’s a big difference as far as app loading with these newer phones there’s a lot more processing going on especially if you’re go photos and videos and you really need the additional ram in some cases you’ll have background apps that could be used to close to make sure you have enough kind of ram for that undertaking whereas with the se the cameras which we’ll talk about in just a bit the whole processing is much lower much less intensive so as far as ram i don’t think that’s gonna make a big difference and “were having” our composes and i have to say that this is the closest scoring i’ve ever seen between the mini and the regular 12. They’re almost identical we’re slightly under 1600 for single core slightly over 4 000 for multi-core so these don’t get as high-pitched of a value as the pro models do i’m not sure why maybe because the pros have additional ram and with the se it is still a shockingly good compose so the difference is about 20 both in single core and in multi core and i likewise have to say that for 400 bucks worker you’re getting some assassin concert this thing’s going to beat out all the android telephones on the market even like the 1400 ones and now let’s go ahead and take a look at graphics carry-on i’m gonna feed geekbenches metal evaluation and here are the scores it was like the mini actually has the best score which was surprising i believed perhaps because of thermals it’d be lower but they are pretty close to the regular 12 and the se that is once again a really excellent score so we’re help to ensure that the minis close to 30 percent better graphics concert in terms of metal and uh the se with the latest ios 14 it actually mounted up by quite a bit in terms of performance now another difference that you’re not seeing here is the brand-new neural core the neural device with the brand-new a14 bionic that has a massive improvement in yesterday’s video we actually did a video revising research including some dolby vision footage and that actually proved a really good result between the 813 and the a14 processor so make sure you guys go and check out that analogy if you haven’t seen that yet and now let’s talk about the biggest concern about the 12 mini and that is the battery life first off let’s compare the milliamp hours of the artilleries we have about 1800 on the se about 2200 on the 12 mini so 400 more and then stepping up to the regular 12 20 800 so 600 milliamp hours more now plainly we haven’t been able to test these just yet we’ll talk about battery life in our iphone 12 mini evaluate but i did watch a couple enormou likeness one from mr who’s the boss the other one from the tech chat and the iphone se will got to get about four hours of screen on time maybe five if you don’t help it as hard whereas the 12 mini it ogles to have about an hour to an hour and a half better screen on time than the se and then the same thing extends when you upgrade to the iphone 12 that one examinations out of about an hour hour and a half more than the 12 mini so if you’re a superpower used i surely would not buy the iphone se the artillery is its weakest object the 12 mini isn’t great but it’s not bad astonishingly peculiarly if you don’t do a lot of gaming and ponderous tasks whereas iphone 12 that’s clearly the champion jumping into cameras the 12 and the 12 mini thankfully have the same exact camera so you don’t miss out on anything which is really awesome and then comparing to the se well obviously this one precisely has one camera you’re missing out on the ultra wide so here’s a comparing shot of the additional extent that you can get now as far as the standard wide camera we also have some big inconsistencies the 12 photos look great we have night mode we have smart hdr 3 d synthesi where’s the iphone se it has a camera from the iphone 8. The software has been improved a little bit but to be honest if you care about photo excellence you obviously is advisable to buying the 12 mini and as far as portrait shots both of them can do it with the rear cameras but the se can not take it of regular objects time of people now the really weird thing is that with the front-facing cameras the iphone se can also take painting state shots you guys insure the similarity right over here now of course you can expect that with the 12 mini because it does have all those extra face id sensors but the se doesn’t and on other devices like the ipads apple won’t let you take portrait mode shots without having the face id sensor so that’s very weird both sets of telephones have 12 megapixel breast facing cameras so here’s a test you guys let me know which one searches better as far as the video aspect and which one reverberates better to its implementation of microphones now the 12 mini can shoot 4k instead of simply 1080 p on the se and not only that the sc can only shoot at 30 frames per second whereas the 12 mini can shoot 4k 60 frames per second of course with “that weve got” dolby perception differences so we can record hdr up to 30 frames per second so in general if you care about video once again the 12 mini is a much better phone and now let’s talk about the prices and then our final conviction now the iphone se comes in at a very low 399 dollars so 400 horses gets you an terrifying acting iphone now the 12 mini rates 6.99 700 bucks and then a hundred dollars more for the 12. So for that cost difference is it usefulnes spend the extra money in getting the 12 mini personally i think for most of you guys that are watching this video it is you’re getting a little better camera performance massively better camera rendition and you’re getting that ola exhibition which looks so much better when watching videos it’s full screen it’s a much nicer parade and of course with that you’re also coming about an hour to probably an hour and a half additional screen on time as well if you’re somebody that’s upgrading from a really old phone and you don’t really care about telephones that is something that you exactly want something that’s gonna last-place for the next five years that’s he’s going to do a good job but now that we have the 12 mini for those of you guys that miss a small phone i would go for that now how does it compare to the regular 12 well as i mentioned in the beginning as far as comfort in the hand it’s not that big-hearted of a difference not like i expected and you are taking a trade off both in battery life probably about an hour and a half maybe even closer to two hours depending on what you do and the speaker quality and then the nice large screen which is a lot more immersive for watching video the last thing i want to add is gaming if you are a gamer i would absolutely deal with the extra length because when you’re playing games the regular 12 is so much more immersive with that screen in fact i experience the pro max for that larger screen when you’re gaming and i feel like with the 12 instants tiny screen you’re gonna cover up so much of the ui with your thumbs it’s just not gonna be anywhere near as neat so i would invest the extra hundred dollars for those of you guys that are really into media let me know your thoughts down in the comment section below how mischievously do you want a tiny telephone are you gonna take the extra trade-offs or are you just gonna go with the 12 and if you are interested in the se let me know why make sure you guys click that curve above if you guys want to see our full review of the mini where we’re gonna probe the blame recital with mac safe amongst a great deal of interesting thing and of course you can help us reach 500 000 subs before the end of this year click one of those videos over there if you want to see our eventual charger measure or our 5g evaluation this been max and i will see you in the next video
