The launch of the new iPhone 12 has caused a real earthquake in the telephony market and will notably do so around compact mobiles. There are many alternatives to the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and even the Max model but there are not as many options similar to the iPhone 12 Mini. This is why the popular Chinese brand is not wasting time and is already working on a Xiaomi Redmi Mini that offers everything that many want.
We started with the tiny screens, to expand their size and now that we have this, the return of small smartphones seems to be the ideal option for many. It is still too early to know what will happen, the volume of sales they will have and their acceptance but as a predecessor we have the iPhone SE that in this year 2020 have been renewed to continue offering an updated classic.
A cheap alternative to the iPhone 12 Mini
This option that is already being developed has been revealed by the main manager of Redmi, Lu Weibing through Weibo. The publication ensures that the firm has in its plans the arrival of a Xiaomi mini smartphone that coincides with the recent launch of the iPhone. If we look at the Xiaomi catalog, we can think that it is really necessary, since all the models that have been presented in recent months exceed 6 inches by far.
Apple’s mini mobile is 5.4 inches, so we would have to get used to seeing a small model with similar measurements by Redmi, the economic brand. This is something that we find difficult to imagine, but that is getting closer and closer. What is really attractive about this new model will be its price, since as Redmi has accustomed us, we could find a very cheap model that has nothing to fear from the iPhone 12 Mini or at least almost everything …
The battery will be the big but of the Redmi Mini
The publication itself through Weibo lets us see a phrase by Lu Weibing, a statement that could be worrying for the next mini model and is that he himself says “but the battery will sacrifice a lot” . This aspect is something that the Android landscape has very difficult to compete with Apple, since the optimization of iOS 14 allows the iPhone Mini itself to reach the end of the day with 15 video playback, something that depends much more on the mAh in Xiaomi and Redmi phones.
The size of the battery will be reduced by up to 30% compared to 6.5-inch models so that in addition the rest of the necessary components are inside the model and the screen can allow the model to be called Redmi Mini . Perhaps the alternative is to add a better fast charge or perhaps in a super optimized version of MIUI 12, we will still have to wait a while to find out.
