This phone reminds me of the Harley Davidson bike one of my friends had for a few years. He had to stop and fill up the tank every 70km, the motorcycle was 2x more expensive than any other brand but....
It was a Harley Davidson and that was all that mattered.

      DaFink, 11 Apr 2022A difference to be sure and you wouldn’t be incorrect doing... moreGive me one good reason why a normal person( not power user) will want to upgrade from SE 2020 to SE2022 hell even from an old iPhone 8

      The only way that is possible is if the person is unaware of options, (and come on people around u always know when u want to upgrade ur smartphone so advice and options is certain)

        DaFink, 11 Apr 2022I don't understand, in one post you say this phone is ... moreThat's why I emphasized on being deep in the apple ecosystem(not caring about battery life), u can still find the SE(2020) in 2022 and the 11 is not super huge from the SE 2022

              Retepevil, 12 Apr 2022iPhone SE buyer will never consider a Zenfone…idk how you can generalize such a subjective statement/PoV!!
              As if you have all the data of all the SE owners or can somehow read their minds!!
              What I stated was just the objective facts of how ZF8 is better in many tangible ways (the SE is also better in some, no ones denying that), and it ultimately depends on the specific person what they'll or wouldn't buy!

                    If you can't afford that then it's just better to get Android.

                          You can buy it "brand new" through other retailers!

                            Heck I'd go as far to say that even the S10e (2nd hand ofc) is a better deal overall (superior display, wider colour options, more and arguably similar cameras), 3.5mm HP jack, microSD slot, USB 3.1, and better battery life, etc!!

                                    Anonymous, 08 Apr 2022>recommending the Zenfone8 with its ram dumps and nonexi... moreZenfone 8 ram dump issues were blown completely out of proportion and while Asus did poorly communicate it, that is pretty much the only issue that existed since I got mine. One other did too, but that was on the Android 12 Beta, so nothing the normal customer would have issues with. Also, customer support isn't that bad. They react quickly in the forums and Asus phone service is pretty good unless you're in a third world country I guess. The phone itself is superior in pretty much every way, sure it won't get updates for as long but other than that it wipes the floor with the SE 2022

                                      AndroidAuthority, 11 Apr 2022 the 2020 version currently costs £279, £419 for this one. ... moreA difference to be sure and you wouldn’t be incorrect doing so, the irony here is that if Apple were still offering the 2020 version at a discounted price, then that’s what the target audience would probably go for anyway.

                                      But Apple have discontinued it, and as I said before the type of customer this device is aimed towards is looking for minimal fuss during the whole process of securing a new iPhone. That means a quick trip to their local Apple store or phone dealership.

                                      The murky waters of the used smartphone market are likely going to be just too much hassle for such people to willingly navigate. And that time will be better spent doing anything else other than looking up smartphone specs and pondering over used handset conditions.

                                      This SE, as with its predecessor, is for the person who frankly just doesn’t give a sh*t about all this smartphone stuff. They have an old iPhone and want new iPhone, and they don’t want to spend any more time or money than they absolutely have to in order to get one.

                                        DaFink, 11 Apr 2022I don't understand, in one post you say this phone is ... more the 2020 version currently costs £279, £419 for this one. Considering the minimal upgrades I would suggest the previous version to most people.
