At first, my decision was iPhone 11 128GB and didn't look into anything about iPhone 12 or other models, when I had real hand-on experience in a shop I was attracted by the compact design of iPhone 12 mini and its screen color. Their prices are close, that's why it's hard to decide.... I am not worried about smaller capacity e.g. 64GB but I am worried about the smaller screen for 12 mini... Any advice?

If the form factor of the 12 mini is to your liking over the 11, you need to consider how much the prospective phone will be used. The 12 mini is good for about 6 - 7 hrs SoT (Screen on Time) depending on your type of usage. The new 13 mini gets more SoT as it has a slightly larger battery. If you are a person who lives on your phone every day, you would need to charge the 12 mini at some point during the day. If you aren't a heavy phone user, the 12 mini may suit your needs just fine. It is a great phone. I had one until I got the new 13 mini.
iPhone 11 battery 3046 mAh
iPhone 12 mini battery 2227 mAh
iPhone 13 mini battery 2,450 mAh
but I think iPhone 11's screen will eat more energy because of bigger screen size so practically if I am not a light user and not someone looking at mobile phone heavily, in terms of battery, is it not much better to get iPhone 11?
