Comparing mini 2 vs. mini 3…. DJI has made a significant change in the angles the motors are mounted. Mini 2 the motors are mounted flat in relationship to the body of the drone whereas on the mini 3 the motors are mounted tilted forward and outward…. any idea what DJI has learned to have made this change….?
 
The amount of Debris that got caught in the Props , Sand , stones , grit you name it the Mini could collect it .

Ever since the Phantom 3 was released back in 2015, DJI have been offsetting the motors about 5 degrees to prevent the drone being caught in vortex ring state when descending vertically.

The top of the rear motors of the Mini 2 tilt outwards, sideways, and possibly forwards??
The top of the front motors tilt rearwards and seem horizontal across the drone
 
At high speed this will create less drag from the body of the drone creating less resistance giving better performance and speed and efficiency. This is why is faster, the battery last more. Also flying forward, the gimbal will not have to tilt much up.
