**Cameras:** 
Despite its small size, the iPhone 12 Mini is in the upper echelon of camera capabilities on account of its dual-rear camera system (much like that of the iPhone 12) and strong front-facing camera. The main camera (wide lens) and secondary camera (ultrawide lens) both offer the standard 12MP resolution, as well as a selfie camera with similar specs (also 12MP). In terms of software, the iPhone 12 Mini includes an accurate auto-focus feature, excellent Night Photography capabilities, and a wide range of stylistic options. While this device does lack a designated telephoto camera (similar to the iPhone 12), its ultrawide lens performs well as an alternative.
