in some minutes vs in a few minutes

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'In a few minutes' is more commonly used and implies a short period of time, usually around 2-5 minutes. 'In some minutes' is less common and sounds a bit awkward in English, as 'some' is not typically used to refer to a specific number of minutes.
