I use my SE 2 to film and edit all my videos on TH-cam and it’s been great! As an old-looking iPhone model lover, the SE series is my absolute favorite.
Just got one for my mom. Now she can also facetime/whatsapp myself and my brother and her niece. Perfect size and easy to navigate. She now also can check weather, emails, store coupons and more things.
This was my 1st iPhone and I didn't think it was gonna turn me out lol boy was I in for a surprise. The premium feel and experience tht apple gives it's users is a feeling you can't replicate. The smoothness from the iOS is superb and mind you I switched from a 6.3 display LG stylo5 from there I realized I couldn't go back to Android. Only downsides of this phone is small battery and display other than that it's perfect. On top of tht starting with the home button made me appreciate my iPhone11 tht God blessed me with. God bless you all 🙏🏾 ❤️🙏🏾
I love the SE ‘20. I have it in black. I love the small form factor that gets the job done. I love the home button/ Touch ID. It’s small, simple and light weight. The battery lasts me quite a long time I don’t have social media or play games. I am a low key smartphone user. No socials, no games. Runs the latest iOS. I’m chillin’ like a villain. It gets the job done for me.
i have the device i bought it after a couple months of release back in 2020, i already replaced the battery last year and still i didn't feel a difference because even a new battery still too weak for this phone, the only reason i would change my iphone is the battery, not the screen not the performance not the camera but it's the god damn battery
The phone is working nicely for 3 years and 7 months, and the battery is now 90% . No lags, no issues whatsoever. If you do not mind carrying a powerbank with you, the phone can get at least 2 more years of regular use.
I’m watching this on the se2 and I play games watch TH-cam all the time.I have a power bank and that solves the problem with the battery so to me this is the best phone for me cheap price out there
This phone is the best.Apple are just geniuses.I drop my se2 atleast 10 times aday and it’s fine. I do 12-13 hours night shift then I have to catch a bus home (3 buses) so in the travel I drop i it while watching TH-cam and falling asleep.I wake up when I hear the thump of my iPhone hitting the floor of the bus. The only thing that’s cracked after this many drops every day is the glass screen protector which is fine. Great phone go get one
I had this for a short time before I got the 3rd gen and it runs very good for its age, I rarely noticed any performance differences compared to my 15 unless they are side by side
@@catsak and who asked you? Butthurt? Snapdragon 865 has similar performance to A13, battery life is way better, the camera setup crushes this poor iPhone, the same goes for screen. And all that you can get for less. But I know, you're going be like, BuT ThIs iS iPh0nE wItH iOsSs.
@@666marqThen it obviously isn’t for someone like you. I also thought it was outdated until I got one and realized I love the form factor over my 15. The se is for people who don’t want to pay an arm and leg for the latest chip. Btw the s20 fe was $699 when it first came out, this one was $400.
@@m1lohaan I only tryna tell people they can have more for less, and we're talking about used ones. But i know there's no other option for fanboys having no money for real iPhone. Being broke doesn't mean you are forced to use such old tech. This is overpriced for what it offers. That's what I meant comparing it to s20fe or any other few yo android flagship/subflagship.
The SE 2 and 3, Xr and 11 are still really important for the 10% of people who can’t use OLED due to PWM. Disappointing the SE 4 is getting OLED. As to the SE 2 and 3 I recommend a battery case, plus the free apps Focos and NeuralCam to update the missing camera modes. You can get a MagSafe sticker or case to give you MagSafe ability.
Using it until now and it's been good, smooth as always and it never lags, the only problem is the battery but if you get used to the habit of charging the phone 2-3x a day then It's still a great phone. If not then you'll probably want to stay away from this.
i mean, you could, but it will be a little bit slow, and you will need to be plugged into a charger constantly. But hey, it’s doable! Start tech content with what you got and go from there 😉
@@JoeyMe I think there are some animation issues in 17.4.1. For example, there is a lag in the screen brightness bar in the control center during use. It was working perfectly on iOS 16.
sounds like a solid deal for $130! 👍 se2020 should handle PUBG decently tho it might not be as smooth as on newer models but hey having an iPhone is always a nice clout boost :D
I one hate notches and big phones, my phone need to fit in my poket to be able to hold it and record with one hand & easy to acces, still a better would be SE3
the battery and heat generation is what I hate the most about this phone. got it on launch due to the build quality and size, the performance also still holds up to date but the battery is an actual crutch and i hate that. will be switching to android soon but keeping it as a backup, probably till the day it dies as i legit just love the form factor that much.
@@JoeyMe Nope they unlock them 60 days after purchase so mines unlocked now. Either way SE3 Is the better choice. You don’t have to just get Verizon either. Pretty much all carriers are running $150 deals on the SE3 now.
Please don’t buy . I have it (and am writing in it now). The battery is terrible and with iOS 18 I can see it slowing down a. Terrible amount. It’s always very slow right now
Mine is starting to slow down a bit as well. But it lasted longer than my iPhone 13. My iPhone 13 started to freeze every 10 minutes after almost 1 year of use. So I switched back to my old iPhone SE. and it’s still good. I’m waiting for the se 4
I use my SE 2 to film and edit all my videos on TH-cam and it’s been great! As an old-looking iPhone model lover, the SE series is my absolute favorite.
that’s awesome! The SE 2 is still a solid little workhorse.
Hi watch your videos❤️
I have been thinking about buying this phone. It's definitely an upgrade from my Redmi 13c. How is the battery and performance?
Just got one for my mom. Now she can also facetime/whatsapp myself and my brother and her niece. Perfect size and easy to navigate. She now also can check weather, emails, store coupons and more things.
just get her an andriod than this piece of trash iphone it looks like it came out from 2015
The battery isn't gonna be ideal for her so a newer iPhone or an Android phone will do good

Totally get it... The struggle with the iPhone SE 2 battery life is real
This phone has so much performance
yup, It's impressive how well it holds up in 2024
Hey, would you say its worth buying a refurbished one to use it only for Carplay to navigate with Google Maps?
yeah a refurbished SE2 would be a solid choice for CarPlay and Google Maps. It’s affordable and should do the job just fine.

Just bought it! It hasn't arrived yet but i have questions. Will it last for atleast 3 years like if u use it in a good condition?
Nice! congrats man.. take care of it... it should last a few years for sure... but I think iOS18 is last iOS version for the SE2, but we’ll see
@JoeyMe can we continue using it if we don't get an update? sorry i dont know about phones
I had this for a short time before I got the 3rd gen and it runs very good for its age, I rarely noticed any performance differences compared to my 15 unless they are side by side

Bought mine yesterday... I love it, especially my selfies. But the battery 😢😢
nice bro! what’s your battery health?
I just a got a new se 2 gen last month . I like the fingerprint unlock vs face unlock
fingerprint unlock definitely has its perks
Do you think the SOT is fine if I just want to use this as work phone? Mainly WhatsApp and call only
yes SOT is generally fine if you’re using it mainly for whatsapp and calls, but with facetime the battery goes down quickly
After update of ios 17.3.1 my battery health is 84% 😙
No worries just replace it!
How many hours of screen on time pls
@@Kalib_Tech123 6-7 hours
Can i use this phone to start tech content on TH-cam
Do some video editing on capcut without lag
And minimal gaming

Price of iphone se 2 or 3 in USA 🇺🇸???
no idea bout the US prices, but the SE2 is around €100 used where I live

I have iphone se2020 it's running ios 13.5. Should I update it to ios 17. I'm really scared that if I do it will degrade the battery life.
I'm on 17.4.1, and mine works fine. My battery has 850+ cycles but is still usable even on iOS 17. I would say iOS 17 is really well optimized
You should update to ios 15e or 16 . but the best 15

Now we know it will support iOS18. I have 18 developer beta on it, and it’s running fine

yeah the battery life on the SE2020 can be a bit of a letdown... have you considered checking out SE2022?
For a normal person their is no problem but the battery life is poor
$150 is a ripoff for a used SE2. I just bought a new in box iPhone SE 3 for $150 at Walmart.
