That battery is shit. Too high imo

OP if you’re in India it’s probably easier to get a cheap Redmi that’ll be much more modern. My se2020 lags pretty often at 78% health.

I have the one from 2022 and it’s amazing. I love the SE.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Nope. That's garbage.

Just get a Xiaomi lol.

At that price? No. At that battery health? Also no. Also, if your use case is gaming and sm as you mentioned in another comment, try getting a refurbished 13 Mini or something. Since you also mentioned India....yeah, you ain't getting an SE3 at that price point here, bruv.

Lol his battery would die before spawing in game. I just wanted a phone for normal use. My daily screen time is 4-5 hour of insta & Netflix.

Again, I'd recommend a non-SE iPhone for Netflix and stuff tbh. Otherwise, if you're just getting it for calling, texting and maybe as a secondary WhatsApp device, it's fine. Can also (probably) work as a good device for UPI and for listening to music. But as others have said, try getting one with battery health above 84%. Like, I got my OGSE with 89% battery health for like, 80€ (around 6400 INR), and even then I kinda felt ripped off, because I could have gotten it for 10€ less in a different town (around 5600 INR). I get that a newer SE has gotta be SLIGHTLY more expensive, but at 77% battery health? Nah, you finna get scammed, bruv.

I got ur point. Thanku. Will search a SE with good battery health.

Too high IMO. Probably 100$.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Battery life is unusable below 84 imo. SE1 is good if you can get the new apple battery.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

If you want to get 2 hours of screen on time.

Yeah definitely not. Especially after the ios 17 update. This this is not gonna make it much longer🤦🏼‍♀️ especially below 80% battery health.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So i should search with above 80% battery health.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

You will have to replace the battery regardless. Anything below 90% is NOT good. I would advise an official Apple OEM replacement even though it’s expensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Dude just buy anything else, I have had a SE2020 for last 3 years and coming from the OnePlus 7 it is a downgrade in almost every aspect except some things I like about iOS.

You do not want to game on a tiny screen bro. Check out the Poco F5 it has excellent price to performance ratio.

i got Xr for 14k With new battery(98%)and excellent condition Check for local market if you have any around also if you are looking to buy from cashify be aware because they boost batteries

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why don’t you just buy the iPhone SE 2022 at Walmart for less than that price? I think it ends in a few days.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Right, SE3 SOC is 2 steps up from SE2 and has 5G.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

In India Walmart isn't available
