Michael McCarthy, 31 Dec 2024Thanks for your advice. Yeah I’m gonna stay with my 8 Plus ... moreYou might as well get the Nokia XR21, which is one of the last mass-market consumer phones with a Retina LCD. You have better options elsewhere in the Android side of devices because Apple isn't even trying to capture the niche that prefers older features. I lack trust in Apple's face ID implementation due to higher risks of manipulation. Also, Apple wouldn't care about larger capacity Si/C batteries, a far more modern and reliable battery technology compared to decades-old Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries, which are both cheaper and have higher failure rates, raking Apple Care in net profits due to the use of dated Li-Ion batteries in their devices.
I'm typing this from a nearly 8-year-old Nokia 8 because they no longer cater to the demographic that prefers 16:9 displays, headphone jacks, usable Thunderbolt ports, 1440p displays on a budget, and MicroSD slots.

The 64GB version fills up very fast! One hour of 4K60fps video takes up about 45GB of space on this phone and then you are SOL!

I consider buying this SE 2022 for its handiness and processor speed, besides to get the chance to live in two kingdoms: Android and IOS.

I’ll also be saying goodbye to the full screen of my 8 plus :’(
Apple should make an iPhone that’s full screen by using an under-display camera and they should also add Touch ID under-display or to the power button. Other phones have these features. Come on Apple.

I’ll possibly get an SE 4 and finally say farewell to the home button and Touch ID. I’ll guess I’ll get used to it and if not well I don’t really have a choice in the future.

Michael McCarthy, 28 Dec 2024I’ll need to upgrade from my iPhone 8 Plus at some stage bu... morePlease don't even think about such "upgrade". I owned se 2022 for 2 months and then sold it, replaced battery in 8 plus and still using 8 plus now. So what I can say about se 2022.
Pros:
- works really fast;
- latest updates for iOs, new functionalities for system and all aplle's apps, so for example, books app has new features I really liked;
- better photo and video quality;
- gps works faster and more accurate;
- better gsm connection, for real. I have bad signal on subway with 8 plus. Se is better;
- handy size, light weight.
Cons:
- terrible battery. 3,5 hours on cellular network, 4,5 hours on wifi. And I mostly use cellular so charging it twice a day, no heavy usage btw;
- small screen gave me eye strain. Hard to read text. Because of small screen some apps are uncomfortable to use for example - navigation apps;
- phone got heat;
So stay with 8 plus, wait for SE 4.

I’ll need to upgrade from my iPhone 8 Plus at some stage but if I get an SE like this one I’ll be downgrading the screen resolution and battery so I don’t know what I’m gonna do.
I guess I’ll have to eventually get used to not having the home button and Touch ID when I get a new iPhone. I’ll probably also have to accept having a notch at the top of the screen unless Apple start using that under-screen camera tech which is possible because I think I read that they were looking at it and got patent/s for it.

Hi. I am currently using a Samsung a05s. I really like the apple font as well as the UI ? I think... that holds the visual of the phone. I also like appearance of emojis. It looks so clean to me. Now, I plan on using an iphone for my last phone that I will be using through college. I am heavily attracted to this phone for its size. I am not too keen on big phones and I don't really mind the camera. I think choosing this phone over something else is impractical, but I really like this one. Hope someone helps! I have been contemplating my choices on my own and it's not easy. Thanks.

I previously used iphone 13mini, I loved the design and the battery life but the camera wasn't good as it was supposed to be and I found it hard to use. That's why I was using an android phone as my main phone back then. But android phones are so hit and miss. Then I bought a 2nd gen se for about $100 and it was super easy to use. However with battery health already at 80% wasn't good enough as daily driver. Then I swapped out with brand new SE 3rd gen,
Battery is actually great. Camera is great enough and no glitches like lagging or overheating. It goes easy whole day and I do play game, check Facebook, regularly on internet and check many YouTube videos. Those days I don't watch YouTube videos it lasts 2 days.
All I did when I set it up were to turn optimised battery charging on, close all apps when not in use and leave the blightness about 70%.
Battery health is still at 100% after 7 months.

Exynos 7870 Octa (14 nm)
Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53
Obvious enough where the money was saved. That’s why this phone is irrelevant today, while the iPhone SE 2022 is not.

why a budget phone should have bad battery
this is dumb and inacceptable for a phone in 2024
they need to make iphone se at least 6 inch and with at least 4000mah battery and for shipset its ok to put older ones
