Apple iPhone 13 mini

“The iPhone 13 mini is Apple's most affordable and pocket-friendly flagship, but you'll probably want to spend an extra $100 on the larger iPhone 13 for better battery life.”

“If you're looking for a compact high-end smartphone, there's no getting around the iPhone 13 mini. The system performance, the camera quality, and the battery life as well are unmatched by the competition in this size category. Only the Asus Zenfone 8 is similarly compact in our more recent reviews. It's also very fast, but not quite as powerful as the iPhone 13 mini, and at 5.9 inches instead of 5.4 inches, it's still a bit bigger.”

“The Apple iPhone 13 mini is the most compact smartphone on the market right now, with a flagship feature set and surprisingly good battery life for its small size. It has a lively Dolby Vision OLED screen, one of the most powerful chipsets to date, superb stereo speakers, and it offers a proficient trio of cameras that delivers great photo and video quality. The iPhone 13 mini is also one of the most durable phones - it has a scratch-resistant screen and is IP68-rated for dust and water endurance in up to 6m deep water. Oh, and it's incredibly thin and lightweight.”

“This is a super-powerful phone with a great screen and cameras in a highly portable chassis, and it has an awful lot to recommend it, but the things that put people off last year—small screen, high price tag, shortish battery life—remain the case, and I can’t see this changing many minds.”
