    The phone battery is not worthy. Really bad experience while you shoot, record. Otherwise, all other performance is good and the camera is awesome.

    The phone is fine but I could a purchased a iPhone 8 since they are the same size as this iPhone SE 2nd Gen. Now that they came out with the iPhone 12 mini, that's more like the original iPhone SE 1st gen.

    Decent phone, what i don't like is that it doesn't have a separate ear phone port, you have to share the same port you use for charging the iphone, or spend extra money on wireless earphones.

    A huge Samsung screen is a fraction of the cost

    I've been using Apple since the Mac Quadra and use iMacs every day so you'd think the iphone was a good fit: WRONG. I tried iphones 7 years ago and ending up smashing mine in frustration. Today, I first tried an iphone 6 but upgraded to the SE in the hopes I'd understand why everyone was so enthusiastic about iphones. The SE is SO SMALL only an infant could use the screen imo. It also wouldn't screen cast my applications so I had to buy a $50 HDMI to lightning adapter. I tried to upgrade to an iphone 12 and can'd do it on pre-paid. I returned the SE, paid the $45 restocking fee, and bought a $150 Samsung. IMMEDIATELY it screen casted and the massive screen would have cost $1099 IF it were even available on the iphone. WHY WHY WHY do people pay so much for Apple when they have an inferior operating system? I don't really CARE that the 12 has the "fastest processor ever" -- I do everything important on iMacs, not my phone! MUST BE A SOCIAL THING that I'm not privy to. I'll never understand why people are willing to fork over five hundred or a thousand dollars for a phone you can't even expand the memory in. Must be Apple's marketing.

    Compact yet powerful device

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am using iPhone SE (2nd Generation) since 2020, and I must say, it's been a delightful experience. This compact yet powerful device combines the best of both worlds - the iconic design of the iPhone 8 and the impressive performance of the iPhone 11. Here's why I'm so pleased with my purchase: Design and Build Quality (5/5): The iPhone SE keeps the classic and comfortable design of the iPhone 8. It's slim, lightweight, and feels great in hand. The glass back allows for wireless charging, and the device is IP67 water and dust resistant, which is a significant plus. Display (4/5): While the 4.7-inch Retina HD display is smaller than many modern smartphones, it's sharp, vibrant, and offers excellent color accuracy. If you prefer a more compact device, this screen size is perfect. The only drawback is the bezels, which can feel a bit dated in comparison to bezel-less designs. Performance (5/5): The A13 Bionic chip is the same processor found in the iPhone 11 series, and it delivers exceptional speed and efficiency. Apps launch quickly, and multitasking is a breeze. It handles graphics-intensive games and demanding apps with ease, making it a great choice for power users. Camera (4/5): The single 12-megapixel rear camera captures impressive photos in most conditions. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the latest iPhones, it's still capable of taking great pictures with its Smart HDR and Portrait mode. The front-facing camera is good for selfies and FaceTime calls. Battery Life (3/5): The battery life on the iPhone SE is decent, but not exceptional. It will get you through a full day of moderate use, but heavy users may need to top up in the evening. The compact size of the device limits the battery capacity, but it's a trade-off for the smaller form factor. iOS Ecosystem (5/5): One of the standout features of any iPhone is its seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. You get access to the App Store, regular iOS updates, and excellent customer support. If you already use other Apple products, this phone will fit right into your digital life. Value for Money (5/5): The iPhone SE (2nd Generation) is a fantastic value. It brings top-notch performance and a capable camera at a more affordable price point compared to other iPhones. It's perfect for budget-conscious buyers who still want a premium smartphone experience. In conclusion, the iPhone SE (2nd Generation) is an excellent choice if you value compact design, high performance, and the iOS ecosystem. It strikes a balance between the latest technology and a budget-friendly price. While it may lack some of the latest features found in more expensive models, it's a reliable and capable smartphone that won't disappoint. If you're looking for a device that combines the best of the past and present, the iPhone SE is a compelling option.
