iPhone 13 mini vs Xiaomi 12 Pro: After using for a month, this the better one

iPhone 13 mini OR Xiaomi 12 Pro? If you have less than Rs. 70,000 to spend on a new smartphones, chances are that you could be considering these two in your list. The Xiaomi 12 Pro is the newest of the lot, packing in all the high-end stuff you can expect from an Android flagship in 2022.

The iPhone 13 Mini has been around for over half a year and hasn’t seen healthy sales figures.

The iPhone 13 Mini has a great 5.4-inch OLED display that also supports Dolby Vision. It is no match though for the Xiaomi’s 6.7-inch Quad
