Verdict

The Samsung NX Mini is an ultra-slim mirrorless camera featuring a 20.5MP 1-inch BSI CMOS sensor and a proprietary NX-M lens mount, designed for extreme portability at just 22.5mm thick. It boasts a 3.0-inch tilting touchscreen that flips 180 degrees for selfies, a rapid 1/16000 sec electronic shutter, and Full HD 1080/30p video recording. Main pros include its exceptionally long battery life of up to 650 shots, high-quality RAW image output, and integrated Wi-Fi with NFC for seamless sharing. However, notable cons include a limited native lens selection, a relatively low-resolution 460k-dot LCD screen, and sluggish processing speeds that hinder burst performance.
