 Hey guys, Thundee here and welcome to another gaming video this time on the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, both of these bad boys right here. Now first thing you notice I'm in a different space because I have moved, this is my new office and I will give you guys a tour so it's a bit of a mess right now, this stuff all over the place but let's get into this iPhone video. So there are two new iPhones which you can pre-order today or yesterday, whatever you're watching this video comes out on the 13th. First off is the iPhone 12 mini. Mini is really small, have it in the green color here. It is a small device especially for somewhere my hand size in terms of displays you're looking at 5.4 inches now you're thinking wow that's a really small display and to a certain degree it is a small display but it's still a super red narrow XTR display it's got 1200 nits of max brightness on there. And when you compare this to the iPhone SE 2020 edition that came out this year which that device is 4.7 inches this has a much bigger display because of course smaller bezels taking advantage of the square area you can get more on your screen so if you're thinking of display size alone this is better than the iPhone SE. Now underneath the hood is the A14 Bionic chipset which of course powers all the latest iPhone 12 devices and should give us some great performance. Now when it comes to gaming I was going to give you benchmarks but I could not get exact benchmarks on the iPhone 12 mini because my benchmark application was not ready for iOS 14.2 which is on the mini right now at least my mini on my 12 Pro Max I have iOS 14.1 so thus you can see benchmarks there. We'll get to the Pro Max in a second let's look at some of the gameplay from the games we have so starting off with Call of Duty Mobile showing you the settings guys we started the game playing at of course the max settings with anti-aliasing on and it ran pretty well you can see really smooth that small screen size is still well maximized though I do like the scaling on the screen so the buttons didn't come off huge I didn't have to reset my buttons and I was able to play quite effectively on that though granted larger screen real estate would be nice but it's quite effective to do so now moving over to a game like PUBG mobile played at both max settings of either ultra HD ultra and smooth extreme because of course we can do that with our chipset the A14 Bionic and I got some really solid gameplay as well no slowdowns not whatsoever they both ran well as you would expect so I'm thinking it's probably similar frame rates to what we have on the Pro Max which we'll get to now finally of course is Genshin impact where I maxed it out at of course 60 fps highest settings for everything of course you can play lower we know that most devices can do that but we wanted to see what we can do here with the mini and it was able to play but of course you start noticing some frame rate drops here and there as you watch the video quite carefully and when it came to temperatures it ran up to about 108 degrees when I recorded while making this video the other thing to note is actually it warmed up much quicker that quicker than any other iPhone device I've used within the 12th series where I would say most of the devices in about 30 minutes you started seeing heat rising up as high this took roughly about 15 minutes or so so that is something to take note I will talk about battery life in a second so about 108 degrees probably rent of a high it's maybe 110 but in that high range now let's move over to the iPhone 12 pro max now the 12 pro max is a behemoth of a device 617 inches I do like the screen size it feels actually smaller and bigger at the same time smaller than 11 pro max from last year and then again we have the a14 bionic chipset a larger display and also most likely a bigger battery in this by boy so taking a look at some of the games that we play now of course we played those games at all those different settings and we start off with call of duty mobile which is pretty easy game setting again right there on screen for you we played this and we got some really good frame rates 59 frames per second frame stability we saw that about 99 percent so that was actually pretty good to see we call duty mobile now moving over to pubg mobile where we had two settings for the game we start off with smooth extreme which of course allows us to play at 59 frames per second 99 percent stability again it ran really well and we got some really solid performance on that now when we move it over to ultra hd ultra which is the maximum setting you can get on pubg mobile right now we're getting about 40 frames per second 39 40 frames per second which is typical at standard and same thing we had with the 12 pro and that was really solid performance on there now moving over to genshin impact now of course we played at its max settings 60 fps highest settings for the game as you can see on screen we got 34 frames per second and fps stability was at 40 percent this is much lower than we expected and also you would notice the CPU usage was really maxed out at 154.34 percent gpu is about 85.8 so it really pushed it to the limit and i will have to say that it didn't perform as well as i would expect it i think also maybe it's because we're on 14.1 on 14.2 we'll have to wait and see what that brings to the table but that is what we got for genshin impact and i will test more and longer on my full gaming review now when it comes to temperatures for the iphone 12 pro max our temps actually were similar to the iphone 12 12 mini at 100 100 708 degrees fahrenheit which is roughly our 41 degree Celsius for both devices it ran really hot the only difference here is because it's larger device it actually the heat was well dissipated across the device i didn't feel it as much as the mini so while holding the max in my hand it didn't feel as hot as holding the mini in my hand because of course the mini is a much smaller device now i'm sure you guys are wondering what about battery life now i did sort of a quick test here with both devices within 30 minutes of gameplay i would say roughly with the iphone 12 pro max i lost about 20 battery life playing those games and pushing other max settings while with the iphone mini it pushed closer to 30 maybe even 35 again this is a rough estimate from when i got the devices i will say battery drain was much heavier on the iphone 12 mini than the pro max so if you're looking to game on this quite extensively the pro max is where you should go and i'll say for using it for most of the day just gaming on both devices the pro max battery has now come to 50 percent while the the mini is roughly at around 30 so take it as you will that is not an accurate battery test but giving you an idea of what gaming is like on both devices now in terms of audio the speakers sounded clear and the gameplay sessions they worked pretty well i didn't do a speaker test if you guys want to see that let me know but i want you to just quickly listen to just some of the gameplay from the mini and from the pro max and then we'll round this up okay guys there you have it that is gaming on the iphone 12 mini and the iphone 12 pro max if you have any questions on either of these two devices let me know what would you like to see would you like to hear a speaker test guys i will try and make that for you it's a bit busy right now again trying to set things up and also there's a lot of videos to be made out there also do you want to see a comparison of the camera with the pro max say the while we p40 pro and the ultra if that's something you guys want to do leave a comment down below if you want to pick any of these devices up use the links down below don't forget to like share
