Definitely not the mini if you want battery life. It'll be fine for the first couple weeks but after that it'll go to shit. I have a 12 mini and I'm at 20% by 3pm while being in low power mode and not using 5g and many other battery saving measures lmao

If you're concerned about the battery life, are considering switching to iPhone, and can move the budget slightly up, iPhone 14 Plus would be the best pick. You might also get a good deal considering Apple didn't sell as many iPhone 14 Pluses as they expected. Telling by real-life experience, iPhone 14 Plus lasts about twice as much as iPhone 13 Mini.

Just got a 14 pro in the space black color you mentioned. Nothing yet as I have a case on it. Prior to this I had a 13 Pro Max and didn’t see any markings at all on the sides or back. I would often take the case off while at home.

After a quick YouTube search for battery drain tests, I found that the 13 Mini generally lasts 6.5 hours with nonstop use. The S21 generally lasts 7 hours with nonstop use. Your S21 has better battery life. You'd better off just getting a 13, or 14, both of which will last much longer than the S21, basically twice as long.

It might be a little more money, but the phone itself will last for several years without slowing down, so you won't need to upgrade as fast as you would with a Samsung. Samsungs are great, but their lifespan is much shorter than iPhone.

lmao no (from 13 mini user). I’m thinking of switching to a bigger phone because 13 mini’s battery life sucks real hard. I can drain the battery life with like 4hrs of screen time according to screen time in settings, which is ridiculous to me. When I was traveling (so I had to constantly look at maps and stuff) a couple days ago it literally shuts off at 3/4pm everyday cuz of drained battery.
