Thanks for the feedback bro. Those are pretty good numbers for a phone that small!!

Actually my 12 Pro Max also shows ZP, and I got it from maxis.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on these battery drain tests videos.. it's obvious that the bigger the battery, the longer it will last on a test like this. What's probably more crucial is if the phone has sufficient battery to power you through a day without the need for a recharge or looking for a power bank halfway based on your usage patterns.

Yeah, exactly. I'm into my third day now with the 12 Pro Max, so far the usage more or less matches my experience with the 11 Pro Max as far as battery life is concerned albeit a smaller battery. Then again, the testing parameters are all screwed up now in the era of work from home and using WiFi only

GSMArena's iPhone 12 Mini review is out

Summary of the battery life vs other iPhones: -



A bit disappointed it didn't at least match the X or XS

Ya, agree. I think based on moderate usage, 4-5 hours SOT probably can last whole day

Yeah for light to moderate usage I think totally no issues, can get by a day

Testing method is different. In all these Youtube videos, it's based on usage and standby time is not taken into consideration. Anyways, there are caveats with every other testing method, of course and they can only be used as points of reference. As I said previously, as long as it suits your usage then it's fine.

12 should have stocks right? Just the Pro or Pro Max that's a bit hard to get. Looking for a specific colour and storage?

Depends on your usage. If you are a heavy user (6 hours screen time or more in a day) then probably make sense to go for iPhone 12 instead of 12 Mini.

So far so good on the 12 Pro Max. No issues with WiFi or LTE so far.

It’s not just a design issue, but previously Apple used Intel modems that are generally acknowledged to be inferior to Qualcomm ones. iPhone 12 now uses Qualcomm modems across board so that’s good.

S20FE is good but I’m not a fan of paying above RM3k for a phone with a plastic body. I noticed a few good deals for below RM3k now so maybe that’s a good deal. I can definitely vouch for Samsung phones using SD processors instead of Exynos ones. The choice is yours, of course

Yeah, so far so good on iOS 14 with them widgets and all, but I expect it to get better over time. Not that many third party widgets yet compared to Android.

Yes, there is. Mine is a maxis set.

Yeah, I like having the widget stacks. It’s nice!

There was a report on some iPhones having flickering and green tint screens recently. Hopefully they’ll address that soon. My unit is problem free so far, thankfully!

26/11 or slightly earlier.

This is the 12 Mini?

Ahh OK. Makes sense then

Hmm, let me try to simulate those conditions later

I’ve used Spigen Liquid Air before as well. Love the grip!

Due to the size it does tend to get warmer under heavy loads compared to the 12, 12 Pro or Pro Max. I guess the Mini might not be meant for users who demand that kind of performance especially gamers, etc. Besides, the battery life of the Mini may not suffice for that kind of usage anyway.

Is the case slippery or is the grip good?

Ya, wife said the plasma is a bit too slippery for her liking. Considering to get her this or the Pathfinder.
