The SE3 is good enough and not too big

vundercind 2y ago
The only, only reason I ever buy anything but the smallest phone they offer is because the best cameras are never on the smallest devices. The extra size is pure down-side for me, and I don't really give a shit about slightly faster processors or what have you (I hardly burden the low-end ones), but I do find when looking back at older photos I always appreciate when I've had better cameras, so I hesitate to go too low-end on those. I'd pay about the same (or maybe even exactly the same, but feel a little annoyed about it) for a small Apple phone with the same camera as the expensive big models.

  I choose the cheapest technically up-to-date one. I really don't care about the camera, the gap between generation is mostly not interesting. Actually the only reason I had to replace the last one is that Apple stopped supporting it with the latest iOS...

I love SE3, had SE2 before it. I love the phone and the size, but I do NOT love the battery life.. It's manageable though.

  battery life is great for moderate use in my experience. Won't support watching videos all day, but I usually get almost two days of life out of it.

  Battery life is not excellent indeed. I have cables and extra battery most of the time when out for a day.

    I'd be scared to break the thing: it is so big and directly connected. It wouldn't fit into a pocket anyway... Also I wouldn't choose one with a lightning connector, better with a USB-C (or A) female port, so I could also use it for some other devices too if necessary.

It is rounded and slippery and big enough that it exposes double-tap to make the screen slide down.

  I preferred the 4 and 5 size and shape. Hate the double-tap too...
