The iPhone 12 mini doesn't become available for preorder until Nov. 6, and won't actually ship to customers until Nov. 13. Despite that, a Romanian YouTube channel got their hands on the device.

The clip is entirely in Romanian, and there aren't any subtitles or captions available. However, the YouTuber, George Buhnici, does offer a side-by-side comparison of the device to the iPhone 12. It isn't clear how the channel was able to obtain the unreleased device.

Although it packs a smaller 5.4-inch display and a smaller battery, the iPhone 12 mini is otherwise identical in terms of features and specifications to the larger iPhone 12. That includes support for 5G, an Apple A14 Bionic processor, and the same dual-camera setup.

The iPhone 12 mini, along with the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max, will go up for preorder at 5 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 6.
