The iPhone SE 2020 was recently replaced by the 2022 model, but may prove to be a good solution for those wishing to try their hand at the iOS experience, after years on Android. It certainly offers a dated design, but will appeal to the most nostalgic among you and especially to those who prefer compact formats. Advised an iPhone dating from 2020 is not a bad thing, since the Cupertino company is renowned for offering software monitoring for a period of 5 years.
Its small format hides the A13 Bionic chip, a chip that still has some in the belly and ensures a smooth user experience on a daily basis. And the good news is that you will be able to enjoy the latest iOS 16 update with some of its new features. Limited to one sensor, it will lack versatility, but manages to offer beautiful daytime shots. As for autonomy, it will take a day, or even less if you have intensive use.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is now in the background with the arrival of the Galaxy S23. It remains recommendable in particular for its premium design, and its small 6.1-inch Amoled screen in Full HD + (i.e. 2,340 x 1,080 pixels) and its adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz. On a daily basis, demanding applications will run without a hitch apart from the games which experience some slowdowns with the graphics pushed to the maximum. Android 12, with the One UI 4 interface, promises a very fluid user experience.
The autonomy is quite average, since the 3,700 mAh battery will not allow the smartphone to last a full day with intensive use. We will console ourselves with fast charging (up to 25W) and wireless charging, which will be present, but we will have to make sure to keep our charger close to you, just in case. As for the photo, we are entitled to great versatility, with a special mention for the good level of detail spotted on the shots captured by the main sensor.
