Now, let's talk about that software portrait mode. They're sharp in the middle with no noticeable chromatic aberration (or color fringing) and bring you just a bit closer for that more-candid feel. In practice, attaching Moment's telephoto lens to your main camera provides much higher-quality portraits than your phone's built-in telephoto lens can.

The Apple iPhone 13 mini achieves a Photo score of 138. Our testers observed some video artifacts and noise but overall the Apple iPhone 13 mini is an easy recommendation for mobile video shooters. The autofocus works precisely and delivers smooth transitions and the video footage comes with good trade-off between texture and noise. Video clips recorded with the device show accurate and stable exposure as well as a wide dynamic range. The lack of a dedicated tele lens means the iPhone 13 mini can’t compete with the very best in the Zoom category but the ultra-wide camera delivers good image quality, resulting in a Zoom score of 55.Īt 117 points the iPhone 13 mini scores only two points lower for video than the 13 Pro, making it by far the best video option in the Premium segment and the second best overall (tied with the significantly more expensive Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra). Like on previous iPhone we’re still seeing some luminance noise but detail has been improved over previous generations and is good in bright light and under typical indoor conditions.

The Photo score of 138 is outstanding for the class and among the best we have seen overall, thanks to reliable exposure, nice colors and a consistently good autofocus system. Given its compact dimensions that makes it the currently best option for mobile photographers who prefer smaller phones.

The iPhone 13 mini has to make do without the 13 Pro and Pro Max’s tele camera but the new primary module uses the same size sensor as last year’s top-of-the-line iPhone 12 Pro Max and has swapped the PDAF system for Dual-Pixels. Apple’s iOS is powered by the A15 chipset and images and other media can be stored on up to 512GB of built-in storage. The mini uses a 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR screen, making it a good choice for users who prefer a smaller device. It shares most specs, including the camera setup, with the iPhone 13 that comes with a larger 6.1-inch display. The iPhone 13 mini is the most compact and affordable model in Apple’s 2021 iPhone lineup.
