Design
What's impressive is that the iPhone 12 mini is smaller and more compact than the iPhone 8 , but it packs a more powerful chipset, better cameras, and a larger display.
The iPhone 12 mini also has more durable glass, including Ceramic Shield glass on the front. Additionally, the device comes in five different colors, while the iPhone 8 only had three.
Screen
The iPhone 12 mini has a 0.7-inch larger display than the iPhone 8 despite its smaller form factor. It features a higher-resolution OLED panel that offers better contrast ratios and supports HDR, Dolby Vision, and True Tone.
Although the 12 mini does not have 3D Touch like the iPhone 8 because Apple removed this feature, this feature does not seem too necessary for users' needs.
Processor
After 3 years of launch, the A11 Bionic chip has shown its "age". Meanwhile, the A14 Bionic inside the iPhone 12 Mini is a completely different story. With a 5nm manufacturing process, the chip's 6-core CPU delivers a 40% performance increase while the 4-core GPU delivers a 30% performance increase.
