Dominique, 06 May 2020Sorry but you should compare it with S20 Ultra or Pixel 4XL as their prices and specs suggest.And i also can assume that you don't have an iPhone but you also don't have a new flagship. Correct me if wrong, and please don't lie saying you have a samsung s20 ultra, cuz by the sounds of it, you don't. Id like to hear what phone you have if you don't mind, so i can get my point across.

Dominique, 06 May 2020Sorry but you should compare it with S20 Ultra or Pixel 4XL as their prices and specs suggest.Like I said it doesn't matter what phone the android is, the apps always turn out worse then the iOS ones, it is the same version of the app on every android so it doesn't matter what phone it is. Plus i'm not talking about the speed of apps, im talking about the stability of the apps not, speed for gods sake. Please understand what i'm trying to say, just because it's a samsung s20 rather than a s10e, the apps i talked about have the exact same software problems. Case closed.

See how that works?

No one wants tiny 4.7" screen after getting accustomed to 6.5 inch screen size.
Only fruit logo brand boys be buying this blindly.
I bet if Apple sh*ts in your mouth, you'd call it yummy!

There’s still big market for phone with smaller screen and lot of people are perfectly fine with smaller sceeen. I personally never felt that my 6s screen was too small. I liked how effortless it was to use with one hand. Later Apple ”forced” me to buy bigger phone. The screen isn’t that much bigger with my 11pro than 6s, it’s just longer.

Why it’s so difficult for Android users to understand that not everyone prefer same things? I could easily go back to SE size phone if i would get all the same hardware my 11 Pro have.

Had it been between 5.5"-5.8"(which can be easily fit in that form factor), no one would've hated it.

No one would buy SD865 Android device with tiny 4.7" screen since everything from content consumption, gaming, web browsing, even normal texting and typing becomes cumbersome on such a tiny display.

Atleast with battery, you can carry a power bank even though that's inconvenient.
But You can't just increase the screen size on the go.

Night Mode is overrated feature imo. Just get NeuralCam app and you'll make amazing bright and detailed night photos even in near perfect darkness. I was hoping for Night Mode to come to iPhone XR with iOS 13, given it still has neural processing unit, but it didn't. Then I found NeuralCam and I got night mode on XR. So, I'm not really missing anything on it. And Given hardware specs, NeuralCam should also run on SE easily. Same RAM, faster CPU.

Refurbished, 05 May 2020Nailed it, Nick. I am SO close to giving up on GSMArena as a community. Reading all the cry... moreWhy do you care what anyone says?
The actual customers will talk with their wallets, what's so bad about it? A class leading sales chart will shut all the naysayers, if this phone has it in it.

I'm a Symbian fan and I understand that majority is not always right. I was on 360p screen uptill 2015. Now, I'm on 720p, although on Android.
And no, productivity wise everything is going good.

Those phones are cheaper, but imagine if it would be done by other company, put new cpu (SD865 in a body of older flagship, it would be perfect and it is questionable if the price would be much lower, considering that with apple you buy also the brand it self ...
Apple SE model is now and also was before very good phone ... I am not apple fan, actualy I dont like apple products (mostly due to price price/funktionality ratio) and see the argutments against, I just dont like the mega hate which is arround it.

Sure you sho... moreYes I compared it to my honor, but i did also compare it to girlfriend's phone, a samsung s10e. Now that phone is somewhat recent, but again there were more problems with the android versions of the apps. It is simply just a worse (not bad) experience on android. For example Reddit was just plain bad on the samsung, though it did get a bit better in the recent update, snapchat looks like it takes screen shots of the camera, doesn't even take proper photos. Our Tesla app, is horrible on the s10e, but compared to the iOS it is near flawless. In fairness most, not all, most are near identical on both OS but, dev's simply put more effort into iOS because off apples requirements, unlike on google play store, all you have to do is pay google $25 and boom you can upload your app, with all it's bugs and possible malicious software. To be honest it is a fact that apps on iOS is simply just better than android at this point.

Sure you should be getting better experience for that huge amount of money. Since you already shifted to iPhone then just enjoy it.
BTW, iPhone SE can't be comparable to your current daily driver.

peter lac, 05 May 2020https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2020&nDisplayDensityMax=300Dont be ridiculous, those phones are not midrangers, these are low end models. Moreover most of them are very cheap.. in my country xperia L4 is about 210 usd, realme c3 costs 150 usd. Iphone se costs 520 euro so.. yup this is Apple premium pricing.

And now take a look at new xperia 10 mk II, it has much bigger oled 1080p screen, much bigger battery and costs less than iphone se. Ok the SOC is much slower but it is fast enough for a mid range drvice.
