iPhone SE 2022, has turned heads of budget range phone aficionados, but how do Andriod contemporaries from Samsung, Motorola, and Google stack up against the new SE?
To anyone who has seen an iPhone in the last eight years, the new iPhone SE 2022 may appear to have an outmoded exterior, but given that it is a budget phone, what matters more is what’s on the inside.
Apple’s new low-cost iPhone will be available on March 18th, with preorders beginning on Friday.
The SeE 2022, which will retail for $429, will have an A15 Bionic chipset and 64GB of storage. The A15 Bionic processor was also used in the iPhone 13 series.
iPhone SE 2022 Strengths
The SE 2022 may have an outdated style with larger bezels, but the best thing this model has accomplished is to provide a gigantic performance unit at a relatively low price point. There is no other iPhone with such processing power for less than $500.
Although Apple does not specify the number of years its phones will be supported for OS updates, the fact that the iPhone SE 2016 can still run iOS 15 indicates that the latest model will be updateable for a long time.
Most Android phones receive three to four years of software updates and are considered an excellent value.
Along with the A15 processor, Apple has promised a larger battery for its next model. The SE 2022, which has a 4.7-inch retina display, is identical to the SE 2020 model but costs $30 more. There are, however, reasons to cheer if you enjoy a nice home button, fingerprint scanner, and non-MagSafe Qi wireless charging.
iPhone SE vs. Samsung, Google, and Motorola
In comparison to Android phones, the iPhone SE appears to be a relic from the past. For around the same price as the iPhone SE 2022, there are a slew of fantastic Android phones with bigger screens, bigger batteries, more RAM, and more cameras on the market.
Despite the fact that they have a decent processor, phones like the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G, Galaxy A42 5G, Google Pixel 5A, and Motorola Moto Edge 5G UW (2021) have more modern features.
Both the Samsung Galaxy A52 and A42 have long battery life. Although the SE 2022 battery’s mAh hasn’t been revealed, it’s safe to infer that even if it’s larger than the SE from 2020, it’ll still be smaller than its Android competitors.
Both the Samsung Galaxy A52 and the Moto Edge have higher refresh rate screens, with 120Hz and 144Hz, respectively.
They’re a little more expensive than the iPhone SE 2022, but the higher refresh rates make scrolling and animations look much smoother than the SE’s 60Hz.
The Google Pixel 5A is one of the most competitive alternatives to the iPhone SE 2022 since it is also the most affordable.
For an additional $20, users may obtain more storage, a larger OLED screen, better camera quality, and an ultrawide lens option. Wireless charging is one of its shortcomings.
Then there’s the Motorola Moto Edge 5G UW, which boasts some of the most impressive specs and features of all these phones, including a 6.8-inch screen, 114Hz refresh rate, and a massive 5,000 mAH battery. There’s also 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage onboard.
The phone is normally priced at $699.99, however, it is frequently discounted to $499.99.
The iPhone SE is compared to some Android competitors in the table below.
