A great alternative to smartwatch. Would like to see in real. May be make it a bit even smaller but a tad bigger than apple watch and There should be options to wear it on wrists. Should come in convertible design mobile cum smart Wrist watch. Would be a great success as it will have much more uses than only a smart watch.

    Anonymous, 05 Jul 2021The price was the issue and not the size. I would buy the i... moreno android small phone sold more than bigger counterpart.
    not even Z3c, by far most popular of its size.

    except the 52mm camera and more battery, 12 mini is better than X and Xs. Both were more expensive, still sold much more.

    Market for small phones is over.

    Small device like 12 mini, is bad to type messages, play games, watch videos.
    Exactly what tons of people do on their phones everyday.

      Battery is ridiculous. You must charge it two or three times per day

However, I was never interested in the iPhone 12 mini, firstly because of iOS (I prefer Android), and secondly because of its high price (it's iPhone after all). Plus it has no headphone jack anyway which I need. I still rock a Sony Xperia Compact as a result. The Palm seems nice but no headphone jack so it's not an option. I don't support companies who use this marketing gimmick of killing the jack because of "space".

              iPhone 12 mini is not a 'flop' as such. It is still extra sales for Apple and as a lot of internals are used in the bigger iPhone then costs of development is easily spread.
              What is does give Aplle is a 'cheaper' entry level phone. If there was no mini the regular iPhone 12 would have to sell for $50 less as the entry point in the range. It is simply good marketing on Apples part.
              If the iPhone 12 mini had a bigger battery (and I would sacrifice the thickness of the phone for this) then I would have bought one.

I would buy the iphone mini but can't spend a thousand on it. An Android phone of that size for about 300-400 would sell like cakes and because it's android it have many buyers and sell a lot more

                      There are smaller. There are many just a bit bigger than this. Mine is like a motorola edge, in the computer rendered images, but display is smaller in reality and it could really do with that extra display. The touch is hard, pressing dude buttons through the silica case is hard. Otherwise fairly good for a second phone, and small people might like it. Some guy in Turkey did a crown find campaign to do a few models, produced by a Chinese company, but cool looking phones (most either aren't not like like an iPhone, and a few look even cooler, such that you maybe have to be a teen girl drama dance queen to own).

                      However, this phone has a 4k like camera, but no 4k like video camera function. That's a big point with most of these phones. Usually no 4k (I have found none), some are full HD, and if they have these usually no 50/60fps at those resolutions.

                      Anyway, there are large key on-screen keyboards, some multi directional key stroke, like I came up with years back, and if you want to change tracks, set up an external button to do so.

                      To change tracks, set

                          If some companies think that such a phone with fake camera modules on the back would do good on the market, why wouldn't they think that a mid range phone with decent hardware but basic good quality camera and compact with a total length of 130-135mm would do better?!

                            The 12 Mini didn't flop. It did well compared to other brands but not quite as much as Apple would have liked. If it "flopped" it wouldn't be coming back next year.

                                New guy, 05 Jul 2021I think size did play a significant role. The 12 and 12 min... moreIphone 12 is still a compact phone if you consider it's physical size 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4 mm
                                And thats only 6.1 inch screen. While Android 6.6inch screen phones are mostly all over 160mm tall.

                                And for me 12 mini is too expensive to make sense to buy so small phone. SE 2020 is already a small phone and cost half of the price of 12 mini and that makes more sense. Especially as people who want compact phone dont do any heavy task on a phone like play games or edit pictures and videos on it. They want a small phone that fit in any pocket and is for mainly making calls while also can read mail and do some easy tasks time to time when is the need for it and have no access to larger screens

                                  There are already phones like that from Melrose and the like brands that have a bit larger screen and some of them even have amoled screen for the same quad core cpu phones and also android 9 on them while cost 2 times less then this one does.

                                  150 bucks for this is too expensive and especially cause of it's specs. For these specs no more then 50 bucks. 3 inch screen is a bit too small. That body is big enough to have at least 4 inch screen to fit in it. Cameras on the phone would make sense only if they actually can make pictures and wont be 480p for video.

                                      this is SOYES XS...cam shape is little bit different you can buy more cheaper

                                        This is good, but on a serious note, this is very small. So a middle ground of 5.5-6.2 without bezels is great IMO.
