          Should have mentioned the fact that Apple has underclocked the A13 to try and help that sad little battery. AnTuTu benchmark iPhone SE (2020) 492166 so well behind the iPhone 11s 517400 and also behind the Galaxy S20 525029.

            And its bad coz half the screen gets occupied by on screen controls.
            Tiny 4.7 inch screen is a total downer.
            If you want good long lasting gaming session, invest in a proper gaming phone like ROG 2.

                  Refurbished, 30 Apr 2020I was unfamiliar with the acronym, yes. I browse this site ... moreJust have a quick comparison with Sammy's cheaper A71 with "doubled" SOT and better display.
                  BTW, I'm not an iPhone hater because my daughter loves it very much (she's using an iPhone 11 PRO max) nor am I a Sammy fanboy since I my daily driver is still a Huawei.

                    It's plastic body but way more premium feel and look to it.

                      Why are you comparing this huge brick to very compact SE? clearly people who are interested about SE not interested phones like realme 6.

The 12... moreI think you mean iPhone SE, anyways, Realme 6 is a good phone no question about that but it's rather different than better than the SE, the SE means to be a small and light yet luxurious phone, it has water resistance, wireless charging, OIS camera, computational photography, metal and glass body. Stuff that you find in flagship phones and not in sub $500 phones.

                        Realme 6 much bigger form factor, increased weigth, plastic colorful body may not sit well with business users for example, sure enough it will be a much better gaming and multimedia device, got the 90Hz 1080p big display and the multiple camera setup.

                        So iphone SE excels at stuff that appeals at very a different type of user than what most people would want, one should be open minded enough to realize there are very different people in this world - with different needs.

The 128GB version is $300 and in my opinion, it outperforms the iPhone 8 in every technological aspect except the CPU. Times have changed now and we can trust the quality of smaller companies other than Huawei, Apple, and Samsung.

                                  lol, dude, you're so far off base that it's actually pretty cute. If you go to literally ANY other tech website that isn't filled with Android-babies, you'll see that this phone is getting glowing reviews. Majority of pro-Android websites are singing it's virtues. Plenty of tech-savy or power-users will be purchasing this phone - such as myself (depending on what the iPhone 12 is like).

                                  There are just way too many children on this website who can't determine the value of a phone - they just look purely at specs (that is, until it's the SoC - then it apparently doesn't matter! Fancy that, the A13 in this phone, THE BEST SOC ON THE MARKET BY FAR - then it doesn't matter, apparently).

                                  I actually work in I.T. and deal with Android/iPhones on a daily basis. Anyone in this business I'm in who is worth anything uses an iPhone.

                                    Secondly, fast charging hurts battery endurance in the medium term. If you don't fast charge it's better for your phone.

                                    Thirdly, YES! apple likes to piss people off, not their customers but those who are not going to buy anyways.

                                        This phone isn't for people who read this website. This phone is for people who bought an iPhone on a 3 year contract 4 or 5 years ago. I see an awful lot of people (who have plenty of money) still using iPhone 5, 6, 6S. Why? The phones still work, so why bother changing it.

                                        So, for J. Public, the iPhone SE is the phone they'll buy when they go in to the phone shop looking to get their 5+ year old iPhone fixed/upgraded, because it's cheap (relatively), and it's an iPhone - so all their stuff is in iCloud/Apple Music, they have an AppleTV, iPad, etc, etc.

                                        Those sorts of people don't even know what Android is, other than a character on a scifi movie on the TV, and Samsung phones are those cheap plastic phones that get really laggy because that's what they had before their iPhone, and it was terrible.
