So this year I decided to pick up two Minis just in case QC is an issue with the first batches. I've set both phones up with the same back up. All settings the same as well. One is a smidge warmer than the other especially with TT on (no biggie but noticeable). Yeah, pictures won't do it justice so no need to post. I have AC+ and will upgrade next year. I will keep one but need some advice from you pros.

I'm wondering if there are any apps that compare screens/battery/ and anything else I should look for? I have 2 weeks to test before returning one.




Thanks in advance.

Biggest waste of time ever. They are made on an assembly line and are effectively identical.
 
All good guys. Yeah, especially with the upgrade program. Guess I'll keep the one that's not as warm? lol
Test the screen with a pure white screen in the dark and compare brightness. Then do with black. Then test of the settings screen and see if any color variations. Check for defects in the hardware. Test the speakers at a range of volumes and it seems you’ve already tested for heat. Check wifi as well and speeds using ookla or whatever it’s called
