Which device is better to be bought?
I would prefer you to buy the android based Vivo X70 Pro as it far exceeds iPhone 12 mini in almost every specification. It has a better display, high RAM, and an internal storage variant. Along with this it also provides you with high-resolution cameras with great features and a high battery capacity of 4450 with fast charging. However, the iOS-based iPhone 12 mini has a better processor than the Vivo X70, and it’s even far cheaper than it.
