Short answer: Soundcore Mini is the feature-packed pocket speaker, while Soundcore 2 is the better choice when all-day battery life matters. Both are limited in deep bass, so the meaningful difference is Mini’s FM, aux, and MicroSD playback versus Soundcore 2’s 24-plus-hour battery.
On the Soundcore 2 side: 24+ hour battery life from a 5200mAh cell. The tradeoff: Bass doesn’t go as deep as others.
Buy the Soundcore Mini if FM radio, aux input, and MicroSD playback are useful to you.
Buy the Soundcore 2 if its long battery runtime is more valuable than legacy inputs.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Soundcore 2 is rated for 24 hours, the Soundcore Mini only 15 hours.
There is a real gap in water resistance: the Soundcore 2 at IPX7 (brief submersion) against the Soundcore Mini, which has no water resistance.
