iPhone SE 3 (2022) Review | One month later...

[@Spring_32]

I needed to upgrade my old iphone 8, it was perfect for what i needed. So i choose the SE 2022 because i needed the same experience but renewed. The "flaws" like the old design and the fingerprint home button similar to the iphone 8 was what i actually was searching for.

[@DigitalNegative]

exactly... plus no one on youtube seems to mention that some users have trouble with edge to edge displays. The bezels preclude most of their accidental touch inputs from happening and makes them happier to use the phone.

[@NubePeluda]

I own this phone and I love it... somehow I just don't need the most expensive latest thing... many of us don't, but the media sometimes makes you feel like you do, just buy what you need and spend what you should, not what you can :)

[@michaelvdbgd]

I think the SE could be the perfect phone for some people. For my dad is perfect. Is compact, works great, camera is good enough, he’s not using it all the time so the battery life is not a problem for him… Also, on the used market they get way cheaper. You can get a SE 2022 for like 300-350€ which I don’t think it’s a bad deal.

[@Nerofire]

I had the IPhone 12 Pro Max and have decided to upgrade to the IPhone SE 2022 just because I love the old style off phone which this guy is saying as a negative. For me the newer phones are too big and all look the same so wanted a nice simple phone that’s more affordable than paying silly prices to be like everyone else. Overall love the SE and having the home button and can fit it in my pockets better 😊

[@dutchbeef8920]

Those bezels mean you can watch youtube videos without having to pinch or zoom on your screen 🎉

[@Oxide53115]

thats because you litterally cant and it looks horrible, now the phone has bezels at its verticale sides

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Since no mini anymore, we hope Apple will continue SE production next years.

[@lopwidth7343]

Hopefully they will. The iphone 8 design, is the best smartphone design ever, apart from the missing 3.5mm and glass back, instead of plastic

[@malman_is_boiiii]

they most likely will since they would like more people in their ecosystem

[@Ag3nt0fCha0s]

Of course they will. In fact, for you the good news is great; because the mini sold so poorly (I predict) we can expect to see it released at SE price and renamed the SE in about 2 years. For me this news is not so good as I just bought an SE, but I had no phone and one cannot go two years on an interim phone.

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

@my name Why silly? SE is a beautiful phone with classic forms. The product red is a cool color.

[@omegadrake6119]

I have the IPhone SE 2022 and I don’t have any problems so far

[@subz6739]

I personally don’t mind the old design, In fact I kinda like it. I’m so used to that old fingerprint home button design and I don’t plan on upgrading to the high end iPhones anytime soon… Until I don’t have a choice because I know this is probably the last old design iPhone SE apple is making so I wanna take full advantage of it while I still can. I’m currently carrying an iPhone SE 2nd gen and I’m really thinking about getting this 3rd one… I know it’s a very small upgrade but my current phone has so many network and camera issues since I dropped it backwards and I don’t know if I dislodged or loosened something in the board but I tried every possible way to fix the problem and I’m basically paying for unlimited phone service for nothing. I’m currently using my Wi-Fi router for watching KZbin and doing whatever I want.

[@aaravshah2288]

I get that, but technology is about innovation, and if companies stop innovating, then the whole industry stops moving forward. Apple is giving people who pay less for phones a terrible experience, bearing in mind that even £400 is a lot of money...

I bought this phone and haven't looked back, it's nice not having that iphone 13 brick in my pocket; admittedly I went back to the 13 a couple times, but I always miss the lightweight and easy to hold/handle SE. While I found this video informative, how many times are people going to knock it? Because it's getting old. The people who buy this phone are not playing PUBG or reading spreadsheets. I'm planning on getting another since you can't trust Apple will release a new device without screwing it up, already hearing rumors of a revamp, probably because they are equally tired of tech bloggers bashing the SE, for reasons IDK, these are the same people on the 60h bandwagon but said nothing about it even 2 years ago, now suddenly everything has to be 90 or 120.

[@eshanherath9937]

Battery sucks tho right ? Thats the only deal breaker for me

[@ricphoenix4578]

The battery life on the SE3 is fine if you are an average user. There are many reviews of the SE3 on KZbin where they show it in use throughout a day and to the reviewers surprise the battery lasted for the full day. The LCD display is crisp, clean and the colours pop even compared to some of the lower end android phones that have an OLED. If you only do basic camera shots, the single camera is fine and there has been significant software added to enhance that experience. Video recording is very good at 4K. The phone has 5G and additional RAM as well. The area where I think they could have improved the phone was starting at 128gig of storage instead of 64gig and adding dark mode to the software update.

[@Temporary.life4321]

Pls defined average user??

[@Tanchostattoo]

I don't know what you mean by average user, my daughter had a pixel 5 and I got her the SE3 because all her friends had iphones, she uses her phone for massaging, Instagram, and Snapchat. She goes to school at 8 am comes home at 1 pm that's 5 hours later and her phone is usually at 15 percent. That said she's not on her phone in class because I asked her teachers if she's on her phone and they have all told me no, her good grades are proof of their feedback. Back to the point she has definitely complained about the really poor battery life. She went back to the pixel phone. I ordered an iPhone 11 pro from eBay for $400 because I just don't believe an iPhone is worth the $800+ price tag. She's been using it for 3 days. She says the 11 pro is a huge upgrade, yet it's older and it's the same price.

[@NenadTrajkovic]

I woke up in 6,work untill 5 and I have 30-40% battery.Half hour charging in car on a way back and it is on 70% again…it is ok with me

[@stevennovakovich2525]

Have seen iPhone SE 2022 (3rd gen) phones for as little as $329 online recently. MVNO 'Visible' had the deal for about a week, then it disappeared. MVNOs 'StraightTalk' and 'Simple Mobile' have it for $379. At prices like this who wouldn't purchase the SE 3?? 5G (sub6), Smart HDR, Deep Fusion, Neural Engine (AI), A15 Bionic, good battery life, etc. etc. I adore my 'Midnight'-colored iPhone SE 2022. It's the greatest value for money that Apple has ever created.

[@anolbe]

I would easily switched out any phone for even a older design, more like the 4s and 5s, because to me an iPhone is a phone with a home button and a small enough formfactor that will fit perfectly in one hand.

[@jackbolton7427]

Well people lets be clear, this is just an classic Iphone, maybe the last with touch id. My previous Iphone7 32 served me for 4,5 years without any problems, but few weeks ago was replaced by this new SE 128, works great and everything is familiar for me. By the way I never buy new Iphones only used 2-3 months etc...

[@erockbrox8484]

Okay let me say a few things. First, I love this phone. I have the red one and it has 256 GB of storage and that's been plenty for me. Second, I love the home button. I don't know why they removed the home button on the newer models, but I love the home button so much that I don't want to part with it. This is how I take screen shots and close programs. It's second nature to me. Third, many people knock the phone because of the smaller screen due to the black bevels on top and bottom. I don't care if this looks outdated or not, I don't care if the screen doesn't take up the full size of the phone, the only thing I care about is that I have my home button. I would personally choose the iphone SE over the new iphone 13 pro max, why? Because of the home button. That is just personal preference, but this phone fits me. I wouldn't call it the worst phone of 2022, but its actually my top pick for a phone in 2022. So you can knock this phone all you want, but I love it. There are a few thing apple could do however. Yes, an SD card slot would improve the phone and an easy way to change and replace the battery would also help.

I was recently told by a person who work I mobile phone store that the new se sells extremely well despite all of the things you mentioned. More and more people do ask for smaller phones and only apple provide these (apart from pixel 4a). Unless you're a gamer and watch movies on the phone small screen of the se should not be a issue. It's superb fast, fits in your pocket and it's very well build.

[@FaerieDust]

I found my old 2016 Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro a few days ago and was hit so hard by the nostalgia for such a small, light phone. It's almost exactly the same size as the iPhone SE, but the Xiaomi actually has a higher screen-to-body ratio - and significantly better battery life, going by the iPhone reviews. iPhone's got a 2018 mAh battery, the Xiaomi's got 4100 mAh... I've looked at the iPhone 13 Mini as well, but honestly I'm just not impressed. It's got great everything, doesn't even have the bezel issue, but battery life is an absolute deal breaker for me. Especially in these price ranges. I'll be getting the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G, it's cheaper, as light as the iPhone 13 Mini, smaller than my current giant phone, and looks like it'll have significantly better battery life. I'm holding out for the Xiaomi 12 Lite, but the 11 should be fine if my phone becomes unbearable before the 12 launch. I just don't care how good the camera/display/processor/whatever is if the battery isn't good. Buying a small phone and then having to carry around a battery pack... Been there, done that, never want to end up on a different continent with a phone so dependent on a separate battery pack ever again.

[@christianwang]

i have the mini, and i don’t find the battery life an issue despite using it more than 7+ hours a day. i havent really used an android full time but from what ive heard from watching some reviews the optimization of the chips makes up for it. probably better to do ur own research though, just what i heard

If you want a small phone and a big screen, get the 12/13 mini. Small storage space has been common for apple as a way to make people pay more for it, unfortunately. Would be nice if they allowed an SD card for expandability.

I have the SE 2 and its amazing i mainly got it because i wanted a new phone but i like the smaller screen and home button. I honestly love the small size compared to the larger new ones.

[@arshiasamadi2271]

I got the SE 2 about a month ago its blast using it even though I came from a 12.

[@faisal-nl2vf]

The SE 2 was quite relevant in 2020. But this trick won't work this time. They should've at least given it an iPhone XR body

[@khabylamefan4053]

May God bless your channel and your family

[@KhachaturStepanyan]

absolutely loving your review style :)))

[@crazyfun5150]

I find it hard to believe it only gets 3-4 hours of screen on rims when quite a few reviewers said it gets 6 hours of screen on time. And the SE 2020 always got me 4 and a half to 5 hours of screen on time. And I’m beyond tired of people complaining about the design. If you like this phone you know what the design is going in. You won’t find a $430 android with flagship performance, build quality and the long term updates of the SE 2022. Gotta love it when a primarily android user trashes this phone because they clearly don’t get the concept for it. This is meant for users that like iPhone, Touch ID, want a phone that isn’t a $1000 and most importantly that lasts.

[@krns1617]

Battery life is great. I don’t know how these reviewers came up to this conclusion. I have just did another test, have used it for 47 minutes, battery dropped from 100 to 98 %. Standby time is also fantastic.

[@crazyfun5150]

@@krns1617 the only thing I can think of is they must always be on 5g, playing games, playing music, using gps and using the camera for photos and videos heavily. Because with the previous model I was getting 4 and a half to 5 hours of screen on time. So this having a bigger battery and a more efficient a15 processor it should do great on battery.

[@krns1617]

Yes, now 2 hours and 9 minutes and the battery is at 81% (I have it already for a few days). Still like half hour standby time. I mean the case you describe these reviewers use, which phone last then long? It’s just mostly bashing. And I’m for sure no apple fanboy, it’s in fact my first iPhone. I’m just looking at it from a neutral point of view.

[@humphreymadlala4462]

@@Cayres9 Oh, you should see his review of this phone.He's praising the camera so highly, saying it's amazing.If you don't believe me, you can watch his review yourself.He leans too much into the Apple ecosystem, which would bring about the accusation of him being biased towards Apple products.The Google Pixel 5A definitely seems like a better buy than this phone.

[@davidpearce8626]

If you bought this just to use as an ipod what would the battery life be like?

[@RazrRazerGarminBose]

What Android rivals can match the A15… Answer none… You only mentioned the IP67 and wireless charging… I bought an IPhone SE 2020 to try iOS having in the past moved from Windows Phone to Android… Promptly sold every Android device I have… Am happy to have a phone with great build quality and performance that fits neatly into my jeans pocket… Not to mention the unrivalled software support…

[@Temporary.life4321]

[@alk4pon3]

No might mode yeah pass. I still have my pixel 3a xl as a backup and night shots are amazing

[@RKMalo13]

Gym Device: I have this phone and I really enjoy it, but I use it as my gym phone/mp3 player. My main phone is super expensive and I don't know what I'd do if I took it to the gym and accidently smashed it or damaged it. These are nice for physical activities where you want to leave your main phone (along with your social media apps) back at home and just focus on what you're doing. If used in this way, even 64gb is plenty for using a few music streaming apps, Audible, and KZbin. Lastly, when you're sweaty as hell and you want to quickly unlock your phone the physical home button is clutch.

[@gospelsoulman]

You can cry and bitch about this phone all you want, but I have no ills or quarrels! I lost my iphone 12 so I used my old iPhone 6 from 2014 as a backup temporary substitute (it still works for calls and texts except that Apple stop updating after 5 years). I decided that I've spent all the apple dollars that I'm going dish out for now since I just got the new 16 inch M1 macbook pro, plus the M1 ipad pro 11. I got this iphone SE3 from metro by tmobile for $80 American dollars by simply Porting my number over and the service on phone is $50! Trust me when I tell you that I'm very happy now! $80 American dollars, it's well worth it for me!!!!

[@sarizonana]

Ohh okay that makes sense. Buying that phone to complete your apple echosystem. When you need your bigger screen to watch Netflix or multimedia content you have your ipad. That makes total sense. I guess this phone totally fine for everyone whos smartphones are not their only multimedia fun device.

[@JoseCalderon04]

That's the " Don't bully me, it's an iphone" phone. This phone is just hard to even watch.

[@oneminutewonder77]

The funny thing is that they probably will still turn a profit with these. They have a huge number of users out there who simply wanna have a fingerprint scanner over the facial unlock.

[@ShynobieX]

Apple is monopolizing the iphone market by giving you what you don't want and telling you that its a need with an aggressive price tag. Its like buying a locker for your gate but your gate doesn't unlock until you even you unlock your gate so the workout is to buy another locker onto your gate for it to work with your locker. It's redundant and stupid. Yet, people still buy this crap because it has an apple logo on it

[@stephennorman6292]

I agree will probably sell more than the majority of Android brands

[@Tristin471]

I don’t use a screen lock, so it doesn’t matter to me, but if I did, I’d want the fingerprint scanner. Apple should add it to the power button on the models without home buttons.

[@spokenwordpoetry7654]

I have the moto e ( 2020 ). I almost got the SE 2nd gen over the 11. I am less then 2 weeks with the iPhone 11 brand new for $300. First time with an iPhone. I’d like to get the 14, but I’ll wait till say 3rd or 4th year it’s out. Might be 400 or 350.?

Chris, thank you for the very honest review.

I don’t understand why people are hating on this phone for its old design when apple is still making iPads with an old design and a home button and it’s the most popular iPad model, even I have one and I love it

[@FluufyPvPTM]

iPhone SE 3 (2022) not worth it i think the a53 is better

[@sjstu]

Generally yes but the A53 will be dead in a couple of years. The SE will just keep going. It all depends on what the customer needs. It's difficult to compare them apart from price point.

[@runayswarts970]

@@sjstu dead in what way

@@runayswarts970 it will be running quite poorly due to the subpar SoC. Maybe dead was a bit of an exaggeration but it will be janky as fook.

@@runayswarts970 it will be janky as hell in a couple of years. Samsung made a bad SoC choice. It's a downgrade on the A52s

[@FPLjunky]

People that buy this phone DON’T care if the screen is small, 60Hz screen or it 720p. People are buying this for the engine underneath the hood and the ability to gain access to the apple ecosystem. Not to mention that its likely to get software updates for next 5+ years! You’ll be lucky to get 2 years of upgrades on your budget android phone!

[@thenormalone6753]

Even for a major apple fan like me this phone is a tough pill to swallow. While the SE 2 was alright and good for many, the SE 3 is a little bit ridiculous. The battery life, the Display and also the camera since it doesn't sport a night mode or anything special for that matter. If I rly would want an iPhone I would definitely pick up an older iPhone 11 or something

[@juanpabloaguilar481]

Battery life is just a little bit better on this phone than on the 11.

[@TADA00X12]

I would surely buy it if it has a better battery, If it can't last me a day or 6+ hrs of screen on time then it's a pass for me.

[@newRockHall]

Off topic question, where do you find all of these high quality anime wallpapers?

[@Haymaker72]

Battery is fine for my usuage. Start at 430am when wake to 930pm when I go to bed and the battery is in the 40's percentage. But then I don't play games or watch movies.

[@boskobuha8523]

If they at least expanded the screen to the edges, this would be the best buy phone, in this case,It's a good phone in the range of $ 100 and not a cent more

[@sophisticat7673]

great reviews. nice to get a bit of charm as well as tech know how ;)

[@lopwidth7343]

The bezels and 16:9 screen is a big reason, why i bought it! The LCD is NOT what you say. It's plenty bright, P3 and TrueTone. It's a great crisp display compared to 90% of all android LCDs and much better colors and no OLED streaking. Simply this is pinnacle "tech-youtube" nonsense. 5g mm wave is a scam pulled by American providers, is why it's not included for a global phone

[@paradiseb5950]

The bezels are only an issue if you are so used to the new phones. Once you start using it you get ised to it. Remember back then no one had a problem with iphone 7/8 design. So it’s not the design it’s the people getting ise to new things

[@sahilthebighill236]

I 100% agree with all the points in this video. In my opinion the cons outweigh the pros. There are just so many better phones you can get for the same money or even cheaper. Google pixel 6a, nothing phone 1, galaxy a53 etc. This is coming from someone that switched from an iPhone se 2nd gen to the pixel 6a so I know what I am talking about when comparing these phones.

[@jctoyou]

No you don’t because you switched from Apple to Android so sorry a pixel will be dead in a couple of years crap quality and 3 yrs updates if lucky this iPhone will be having updates till about 2029 and no burn in on screen too!

[@alexandrosel1131]

Those classic looking small iphones is the reason why i stay to apple. I prefer touch-id over face-id and bezels where i rest my fingers without touch any content on display. My only complain is their pathetic battery.

[@VietnamEli]

You're right, Chris, Tim Apple should be ashamed of this thing.

[@thindo]

I second that statement

[@bujis0731]

Excuse me, which is better,the Edifier Neobuds Pro or the Xiaomi Buds 3T Pro? (Just Audio Qualify and ANC)

[@jctoyou]

No when people see those bezels they don’t care!!!! Honest it’s only the tech reviewers who care most people don’t know what software they are running, what chip is in their phone, how many pixels on their camera !!! Don’t believe me ? Question your friends and family about their phones!!!

[@Sxyel]

[@njdewit]

After having my 1.25K iPhone 12 Pro stolen I decided I wasn't going to throw that amount at a phone again directly but I did want a new phone of course and as soon as possible. I got this one. I agree it's old school, it feels dated, nothing about it is truly great; but if you tweak the settings and use it like I actually use a phone 99% of the time which is messaging, browsing and calling it'll do just fine. And if it doesn't you can decide to move on and keep it as a great backup phone for yourself and/or family. I see myself stepping back up to a flagship model for sure, but it's not because what I bought for 500 bucks (128GB model of course, least I could do) is crap. It's the amount of phone I expected to get for that money.

Apple can use an old iPhone such as the " iPhone 7 plus " or the " iPhone XR " and just upgrade its chipset instead of making new iPhone SE, this will cut down the price while preserving the quality of an iPhone.

Ummm... those big bezels PROTECT the screen when the phone is dropped on a corner. Who wants their screen to shatter every time they drop their phone?
