The SE uses the A13 chip which is in the iPhone 11 Pro. Making it one of the Most powerful phones right now. The other specs too are up to date and very good. The body design is old yeah but a lot of people who the phone is targeting don’t care, some people still want compact phones/affordable new iPhones. Apple knows their market.

Then talking about updates. It’ll get Software updates for up to 4/5 years. The iPhone 6s from 2015 still gets updates. No one does updates better than Apple.

It’s not expensive. It is our Naira that is shit. If a dollar was still 160 Naira, this phone would have been 64k.
Americans and other countries with good economy see this phone as a very good deal. Mad value for all that specs. These phones aren’t expensive, the Naira is what makes it look that way.
So yeah this phone has mad value all round.
Nigerian shit currency has really done a number on the average consumer...even the SE is seen as a luxury phone here..e no go better for Nigerian leaders past and present.

Honestly e dey pain me.
That is why most times I try to explain to people that these brands aren’t that luxurious. The iPhone/Samsung/Cars/Laptops aren’t really that expensive. It is our currency that is doing us bad. Imagine the naira was still 140/150/160 per dollar. A lot people would be able to afford.
I’m sure other countries with stable economies would wonder why Nigeria always complains about prices. Average user there can buy these things.
E go better sha one day.

The A13 bionic chip is the fastest smartphone chip in the world.

Y’all just go about speaking trash cuz you can’t afford iPhones without doing any research.
who told you I can't afford that IPhone SE even if I can't afford brand new iPhone 11 Pro I can still get the refurbished at ikeja cos I have a course mate of mine that's my good friend that sells only IPhone there, but nevertheless

I can't afford to lavish money on Luxury because of everything come and go..

Even this life you're living is borrowed and you're not even promised tomorrow.. I better use money to do something worthwhile

point is, you will get more value on Android with same 400usd.

A 400usd Android will be more powerful in all ramifications with latest snapdragon, including better battery life..
not just the processor.
A13 is fast, so is snapdragon 865.. you will notice a13 is faster in geekbench but not daily usage.
I'm sure people don't buy phone so they can surf geekbench.



Android update depends on the manufacturer you buy your phone from.. essential phone of 4years ago is still receiving latest Android updates.
Tecno of last year won't even get a security patch.



Yeah I know it's cheap for Westerner, but to the rest of the world, it is still expensive if you consider what you will get somewhere else and the economy of the rest of the world.

Poor phone embarassed

4.7 inch display phone in 2020

7MP front camera in 2020

Some people will buy any rubbish as long as there iPhone logo on it.


Some of you will come online and be forming i two know, anybody that can afford to buy this phone surely can afford to go online and read more about it, This phone is like an experiment from apple, the first model came out 2016 or thereabouts, One of the features is for people that don't see camera as a big issue people that don't take much photos, people that don't want their phone to be a burden to them that don't even use screen guard or anything like that, most men will buy the phone will women likely might not be interested and also it doesn't have bigger models like 11 pro max and 7s or 7s. It's a small phone but you are going to enjoy high processing speed and it's slick and simple. Almost like you are not holding a phone.

Yeah the Snapdragon 865 is really fast and so is the A13. That’s why I used “one of the most powerful phones”. The Android vs iOS thing is not what I like to do at all.

Yes I understand your points. I’m not saying it’s better than any Android or has more value than any android. Check my post again.
What I’m saying is for $399 the SE has value. Look at all the specs again. The performance, camera, WiFi 6, LTE bands support,
A lot of people are talking about the phone like it’s crap and like it’s a dead phone. The only problem is the old over used design and I tell you plenty people don’t care. Apple knows it’s market very well. I dunno if you get me.
And we both know Android support isn’t as good as Apple. Essential is just one outlier out of many.

I said people should compare iPhone with iPhone.. it makes no sense to compare iPhone with Android in the sense of value. which is what most people tend to do.

iPhone targeted demography don't do value, but "premium".
And premium is mostly about people's thoughts and attitude towards a brand.

Just like plastic phone by supreme running symbian os will cost 2000usd but Nokia with same spec and everything will cost 10 dollars or less.

And cos something is premium doesn't necessarily mean it's bad or the best which is the mistake most people make when they compare these things..

Since you need me to break it down OK,the phone has the same processor and performance of 11pro max and a flagship camera recording at 4k(60fps) ,all this in a body that looks like an iPhone 8,if you're not blown away that's your business. I was never a fan of face I'd,this is the ultimate phone for me.

What is different about the look? shocked

Same old iPhone look.. undecided
You just contradicted yourself, you said it's an old look and yet you don't find anything different in the looks,is this how current gen phone looks.
