If the mirror is convex (bulges out, like a ball), objects in the mirror will appear smaller or further away, but the mirror will show a larger scene (called a wider field of view), including objects that a flat mirror would miss around the edges.
If the mirror is concave (like the inside of a dish), it can magnify images or focus light onto a small spot. A large concave mirror can focus sunlight and produce a very hot spot.
