iPhone 12 mini оказался лучшим компактным смартфоном по качеству звука

Apple смогла реализовать отличный звук в небольшом корпусе iPhone 12 mini

Лаборатория DxOMark протестировала возможности по записи и воспроизведению звука компактного смартфона iPhone 12 mini, который поступил в продажу осенью прошлого года.

5,4-дюймовый iPhone 12 mini обладает схожими с iPhone 12 звуковыми функциями, смартфоны получили по два динамиками и два микрофона для работы системы шумоподавления, а также поддержку технологии Dolby Atmos.

В итоге смартфон получил 73 балла, включая одинаковые оценки за качество записи и воспроизведения звука. Ровно столько же получили iPhone 12. Это позволило iPhone 12 mini попасть на восьмое место в соответствующем рейтинге лучших смартфонов DxOMark, который возглавляют Asus ROG Phone 5 (79), Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro (76) и Huawei Mate 20 X (75).

Apple смогла реализовать отличный звук в небольшом корпусе iPhone 12 mini. Он продвинулся по сравнению с предыдущими iPhone как устройство воспроизведения и записи, и, поскольку он значительно меньше, чем iPhone 12, это достижение ещё более впечатляет. iPhone 12 mini воспроизводит хороший тембр, а его пространственные характеристики стабильны. В качестве записывающего устройства iPhone 12 mini также показывает отличные результаты.

К недостаткам отнесли не очень большую громкость и отсутствие низких частот.

Эксперты DxOMark оценили возможности камеры iPhone 12 mini

Представленный в ноябре 2020 года iPhone 12 mini стал самым компактным смартфоном обновлённой серии гаджетов Apple. При этом аппарат получил такую же основную камеру, что и базовая модель — эксперты DxOMark протестировали его в действии и сравнили полученные результаты с оценками «старшего брата».

Тыльный модуль iPhone 12 mini оснащён двумя 12-мегапиксельными датчиками. Главный с диафрагмой f/1.6 получил линзы с фокусным расстоянием 26 мм, а вспомогательный — широкоугольную оптику (f/2.4, 13 мм). Камера смартфона способна снимать видео в разрешении 4K с частотой до 60 кадров в секунду.

Не обошлось и без недочётов: так, при съёмке в условиях плохого освещения на фотографиях виден цифровой шум и в некоторых случаях теряются мелкие детали. К минусам камеры эксперты также отнесли наличие артефактов в виде бликов на некоторых фото в любых условиях съёмки. Кроме того, не лучшим образом на итоговой оценке сказалось отсутствие телеобъектива.

При записи видео Apple iPhone 12 mini обеспечил быстрый и точный автофокус, отличную цветопередачу и баланс белого. Эксперты DxOMark также отметили хорошую работу системы стабилизации как в статических условиях, так и при съёмке в движении.

Итоговая оценка iPhone 12 mini составила 122 балла, как и у базового iPhone 12.

Эксперты DxOMark протестировали фронтальные камеры iPhone 12 и 12 mini

Специалисты лаборатории DxOMark проверили фотовозможности фронтальных камер iPhone 12 и 12 mini. Устройства оснащены идентичными датчиками, которые позволили гаджетам войти в первую двадцатку смартфонов с самыми продвинутыми селфи-сенсорами.

iPhone 12

Среди ключевых достоинств датчиков, установленных в iPhone 12 и iPhone 12 mini, эксперты DxOMark назвали правильный замер экспозиции при съёмке портретов, естественную цветопередачу кожи и высокую детализацию при хорошем уровне освещённости. Когда сцена ярко освещена, шума практически нет. Ещё фронтальные камеры смартфонов продемонстрировали корректную оценку глубины резкости, широкий динамический диапазон при съёмке видео и точный баланс белого.

Увы, не обошлось и без недостатков. Фронталки периодически демонстрируют искажения баланса белого. В сценах с высоким динамическим диапазоном для фотографий характерна ограниченность цвета. При активации статического фокуса удалённые объекты оказываются слишком размытыми. Во время съёмки видео наблюдается высокий уровень шума при низком уровне освещённости, а также эффект остаточного движения при ходьбе.

iPhone 12 mini

Тем не менее смартфоны набрали 98 баллов в рейтинге DxOMark. Столько же баллов у конкурента — Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. К слову, вся линейка iPhone 12 оснащена идентичными датчиками фронтальной камеры с разрешением 12 Мп и апертурой f/2.2. В ходе тестирования представители DxOMark отметили, что единственное отличие в съёмке между устройствами заметно при активации фронтальной вспышки, роль которой выполняет дисплей. Объясняется это разной диагональю экранов.

Apple iPhone 12 mini Audio review: Big sound in a small package

The Apple iPhone 12 mini is the smallest and least expensive device in the 12 line of devices, all released in 2020. Apple displays the specs and marketing of both the 12 and 12 mini side by side on its website, and the most significant difference is in size. The 12 mini has a 5.4-inch OLED display; the 12 has a 6.1-inch OLED display. The 12 mini weighs 133 grams; the 12 weighs 162. The iPhone 12 mini is designed to fit in your pocket, but when it comes to features, it shares almost everything with its bigger sibling, including the A14 Bionic chipset that claims to be “the fastest chipset in a smartphone.”

The devices share similar audio features as well. The iPhone 12 mini has one center front-firing and one right-side bottom-firing speaker. Both devices have two microphones for background noise reduction, and Dolby Atmos technology. They both have audio zoom that can be used when filming videos.

Audio specifications include:

• Two speakers, one center front-firing and one right-side bottom-firing
• Microphones with noise cancellation
• Audio zoom
• Dolby Atmos surround sound

Apple iPhone 12 mini Battery review: In the lead for discharge efficiency

Apple introduced the iPhone 12 mini in October 2020. With a price that places it in our Premium segment ($600-799), the iPhone 12 mini, despite its diminutive size, comes packed with such features as a high-resolution Super Retina XDR display and a dual-camera setup. Our Battery protocol engineers recently tested the Apple iPhone 12 mini; we report their key findings below.

• Battery capacity: 2227 mAh
• 20W charger (not included)
• Chipset: A14 Bionic
• 5.4-inch, 2340 x 1080 (476 ppi), 60 Hz OLED display
• Tested RAM / storage combination: 4 GB / 128 GB
• Supports wireless charging (12W)

About DXOMARK Battery tests: For scoring and analysis in our smartphone battery reviews, DXOMARK engineers perform a variety of objective tests over a week-long period both indoors and outdoors. This article highlights the most important results of our testing. (See our introductory and how we test articles for more details about our smartphone Battery protocol.)

• Battery discharge is extremely efficient, thanks to excellent software optimization.
• Supports wireless charging that is comparable to wired charging.

• Battery size is very small (2227 mAh), which severely impacts autonomy.
• Despite being able to use a 20W charger, the device’s battery is slow to charge.

The Apple iPhone 12 mini is aptly named, given its overall dimensions — and also given its battery capacity, which at 2227 mAh is far and away the smallest in our entire Battery database as of this writing. However, even though its battery size has a significant impact on its autonomy, its overall Battery score of 59 puts it ahead of several other devices with much larger batteries.

We compared the Apple iPhone 12 mini’s performance in several key categories with another Premium device, the Google Pixel 5, and with a smartphone from our High-End ($400-599) segment, the OnePlus 8T; battery capacity, charger, display type and resolution, and processor specifications for all three devices are shown in the table below.

Apple iPhone 12 mini	Google Pixel 5	OnePlus 8T
Battery capacity (mAh)	2227	4080	4500
Charger	20W	18W	65W
Wireless	12W	12W	No
Display type	OLED	OLED	OLED
Resolution, max refresh rate	2340 x 1080, 60 Hz	2340 x 1080, 90 Hz	2400 x 1080, 120 Hz
Processor	A14 Bionic (5 nm)	Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G (7 nm)	Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 (7 nm)

How long a battery charge lasts depends not only on battery capacity, but also other aspects of the phone’s hardware and software. The DXOMARK Battery autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: (1) Stationary, (2) On the go, and (3) Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

Autonomy (41)

Put bluntly, at this writing, the Apple iPhone 12 mini’s overall Autonomy score of 41 is very close to last place in our database, with the stark difference between its battery capacity (2227 mAh) and that of the Google Pixel 5 (4080 mAh) and the OnePlus 8T (4500 mAh) making it hard to compete with them.

It is worth noting that when the iPhone 12 mini’s battery indicator says 10%, it really does mean 10%, so users won’t experience a precipitous drop in time left as the phone heads towards empty. (This is good behavior that quite a number of other phones don’t exhibit.)

Now let’s take a closer look how the mini’s battery fared in our autonomy tests.

Stationary

Apple iPhone 12 mini

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.

Despite the difference in battery capacity, the Apple iPhone 12 mini is not too terribly behind the comparison devices, with its moderate-use autonomy only about 4 hours less than the Google and OnePlus devices. The graph below shows how the Apple iPhone 12 mini’ and its rivals performed in our robot-driven typical usage scenario:

On the go

Apple iPhone 12 mini

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outside and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary for each device.

At 51 points, the Apple iPhone 12 mini’s on the go performance is similar to that of the Pixel 5 (also 51 points), with both devices significantly behind the OnePlus (61 points). As for individual use cases, the OnePlus leaves both the Apple and Google devices in the dust when it comes to 3G calling, though the two come a bit closer to the OnePlus in both camera and GPS (and the Google almost matches the OnePlus’s performance for social apps).

Calibrated

Apple iPhone 12 mini

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to specific sets of activities (use cases) such as gaming, streaming, etc.

When the Apple iPhone 12 mini is not in its default auto mode, but rather in calibrated mode (screen at 200 nits and speaker at 60 db), it simply cannot compete with its review rivals and comes in behind them both in all tests. That said, it is worth noting that Apple claims the mini will provide 10 hours of video streaming autonomy, and indeed, when averaged out, the iPhone surpasses that number in calibrated mode, reaching 13 hours of streaming via WiFi and 8 hours 30 minutes via 4G.

Charging (73)

The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, charging speed and quick power boost. Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long it takes to charge a battery from 0% to 80% capacity and from 80% to 100%; and measure how long and how much power the battery takes to go from an indicated 100% to an actual full charge. With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes.

The Apple iPhone 12 mini put in a slightly below-average charging performance. With such a small battery and a 20W charger, it would not unreasonable to expect the iPhone to charge fairly quickly; instead, its performance was similar to that of the Google Pixel 5 with its 4080 mAh battery and 18W charger.

Full charge

Apple iPhone 12 mini

Though the iPhone 12 mini took twice as long as the OnePlus 8T to go from empty to an 80% charge (nearly 52 minutes vs. 25 minutes), the Apple device beat the Google, which took 1 hour 14 minutes to arrive at 80%. Further, although the iPhone took longer than both the Google and the OnePlus to go from 80% to an indicated 100%, and longer than the OnePlus to go from 100% to completely full, the Apple device soundly beat the Pixel 5 when going from 100% to completely full.

As for wireless charging, at 12W, it takes the iPhone 12 Mini 1 hour and 36 minutes to reach 80% (vs. 52 minutes for wired charging) — which all in all is not bad.

Quick boost

Apple iPhone 12 mini

How much power the Apple iPhone 12 mini has left has an impact on how much additional autonomy a user will get from plugging the device in for five minutes. Plugged in with 20% left, the Apple gets more than twice as much time as when plugged in with 80% power remaining. While these results are similar to those for the Google Pixel 5, the OnePlus 8T provides approximately twice as much additional autonomy across the board than the other two devices for a five-minute charge.

Apple iPhone 12 mini	Google Pixel 5	OnePlus 8T
Autonomy boost (hh:mm)	20%	2:43	2:16	5:42
	40%	2:31	2:16	5:17
	60%	1:53	1:46	4:22
	80%	1:20	1:13	2:30
Percentage boost	20%	9.5 %	6.9 %	17.9 %
	40%	8.8 %	6.9 %	16.6 %
	60%	6.6 %	5.4 %	13.7 %
	80%	4.7 %	3.7 %	7.8 %
Energy consumed	20%	1205 mWh	1654 mWh	3847 mWh
	40%	1119 mWh	1656 mWh	3565 mWh
	60%	838 mWh	1294 mWh	2941 mWh
	80%	591 mWh	894 mWh	1685 mWh

Efficiency (100)

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario testing, outdoor mobility testing, charging evaluation, and power measurements, and then take into consideration the device’s battery capacity.

While its measured times for autonomy cannot compete with most devices with larger batteries, it is nonetheless true that when taking into account its small battery size, the Apple iPhone 12 mini shows good autonomy (which translates here as excellent discharge efficiency).
