But the iPhone 12 mini is a compact and powerful smartphone with a slightly more modern look. The iPhone 12 mini starts at Rs 49,999 in India (Flipkart) for the 64GB variant, while the iPhone SE 3 starts at Rs 43,900 for the 64GB variant. Thus, there’s a big price difference between both smartphones too. However, under the exchange offer, you can reduce the price of these devices significantly. If you are thinking of buying either of these, you will probably end up with a device that’s more or less very good in experience as both are seriously good performers. Well, it’s a little too early to say that about the iPhone SE 3 as the reviews are not out yet, but there’s no doubt that it will also be a beast in performance.
