So you bought an iPhone SE? Personally I think the Pixel 6a would be a better option, more battery, better camera, screen, worse processor though. I honestly think processor is much less of a concern than the screen and camera on a budget smartphone.

Initially it came out at near parity with iPhone SE prices where today it’s at a significant discount. Unfortunately, it’s also much closer to end of life, and that’s the basic problem with mid range Android last years phone is already long in the tooth. “Whether it's the smaller battery, the demands of the Tensor chip or some other factor, the Pixel 6a fell flat on our battery test, in which phones surf the web continuously until they run of power. The Pixel 6a lasted an average of 6 hours and 29 minutes, which is more than 3 hours behind the Pixel 5a's result on that same test. Even worse, the Pixel 6a trailed the iPhone SE (2022), and we consider the 9 hour, 5 minute time that Apple's phone produced to be below average for a smartphone.” https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/google-pixel-6a https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/google-pixel-6a That’s the trend, a new model Android phone has near iPhone prices for a device that’s comparable but will have a shorter lifespan/ worse resale price. Buy an older model and you save money today, but need to replace the phone even more frequently.
