could you please observe this? Currently, I'm using the new 12 mini with 100% battery health and was using the 11. I'm still keeping my 11 for several days just in case I'd prefer it over the 12 mini because of the battery life reason. I feel lucky not to buy a 13 mini because the 12 mini battery is shorter than my current 11, even with 84% battery health. Based on my research of many reviews, 13 mini battery can only lasts about 10% longer than the 12 mini which still can't compete the 11. I'd like to hear your opinion because actually I'm still considering to get the 13 mini.
To me it was first days not really good. After first few days it went much better than I thought. Mostly around 2-3hours of SoT before dropped to 50%. 4hours per day of SoT wasn’t a problem with 13 mini for me. Something I didn’t with 12 mini. At least for me.
I went from a regular 11 to a 13 Mini. Love the size difference and battery isn’t as bad as I was expecting. I usually get through the day and sometimes into the next day without charging. I’m not a ‘power user’ or anything. Just some browsing and streaming radio.
The few times where I’ve really needed to charge (usually end of the day), I’ve been near an outlet and a half an hour fast charge replenishes a significant amount of battery.

That’s something you could really enjoy with mini. Charging while needed is very fast, thanks to its smaller factor. I use dual SIM on 13 mini and I was scared about battery life after experience with 12 mini, but it surprised me a lot. I don’t have a problem to end a day in very late hours with 40% of battery.
