Review on Apple iPhone SE 2020 128GB Smartphone, (PRODUCT)RED, Slimbox by Som Chai ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

In a nutshell, I made the transfer away from the OnePlus 5T, and I do not regret it. In additional detail: After having experience with Android for ten years and using a MacBook Pro for three years, I made the decision to go to an iPhone (pairing with a Mac often works miracles when you aren't even thinking about it). After using Android for a while, I found iOS 14.3 to be interesting and not quite as strange as it was a few years ago. This is because before I switched to an iPhone, I had the opportunity to play around with the 7th generation iPhone at work (which, surprisingly, still has a cheery vibe in 2022). After holding it in my hand in a case, I realized that it was a heavy shovel (weight + -200g), and I would be comfortable using iPhones in the previous design with small (by today's standards) screens - 7, 8, SE. Everyone around advised iPhone XR as an inexpensive option (bloggers, acquaintances, etc.). However, after holding it in my hand in a case, I realized that it was a heavy shovel (weight + -200g). I made the decision to purchase an entirely new SE gadget, one that should remain relevant in terms of software for a considerable amount of time. On the other hand, I wasn't going to buy it for forty thousand dollars since. In my opinion, this is far too expensive. After keeping an eye on the prices for several weeks on a variety of websites, I was finally able to purchase this miracle for myself at the end of December 2022 at a cost that was comparable to the price at which the device is offered for sale in the states (+3,000 bonuses were offered on the market). I am pleased with the purchase, the software is fantastic, and the phone does not switch off even when exposed to temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius. In active mode, excluding gaming, the batteries will last for a full day (on average, I have two hours of YouTube, three to four hours of music, one hour of mail, thirty minutes of calls, two hours of messenger, a couple of hours of aimless web browsing, and by the evening another 30 to 40 percent is usually present). The most important thing is to quickly turn off obnoxious alerts (leave only those that are truly vital) and switch off the screen on new notifications; this will ensure that the charge does not evaporate in front of our own eyes. Even while it does its job adequately, I was hoping that the iPhone camera would be capable of more. In the same vein, the videos are of very high quality, and the stabilization is outstanding (compared to the 2022 flagship OnePlus5T). In general, individuals who were interested in purchasing this model for themselves paid close to thirty-three point zero thousand dollars (monitor stocks).

Pros
  • 1) The battery is modest, but it provides enough juice for a whole day of regular use even when not playing games. The power bank has only half as much charge as what is required to fully charge this device; 2) The size of the smartphone is suitable for use in regular life in the year 2022. (I wanted to switch to this size in the era of "shovels"). 3) In my opinion, iOS 14.3 is a solid update, and the program itself is likewise of high quality. 4) ACCESSORIES. With my OnePlus5T, after a few of years it was really difficult to locate something of great quality from cases; on the other hand, Apple products do not have this difficulty at all from the beginning of the word. This dawned on me while I was searching for a bike case that was watertight.
Cons
  • 1) Package including simply the wire but no headphones or charger (type C - Lightning). But, in my situation, this is not a disadvantage because there is a 61W MacBook charger, and the device charges extremely rapidly when using this particular charger. 2) If you want to spend less time watching YouTube videos while you're in a scenario where you don't understand what's going on (as I did previously), I recommend that you get this device. 3) Even in this day and age of wireless headphones, the absence of a 3.5mm port is a significant drawback. There are instances when you still need or wish to connect a wire in order to listen to better music or just to connect dead headphones (I use Marshall MID). 4) IMMEDIATELY after the purchase, you will be required to acquire a cover and, more or less, normal protective glass since glass scratches easily when exposed to air. Glasses for smartphones are now made to withstand being dropped, but at the same time, they are extremely prone to scratching. If anyone is unaware of this fact, please let them know (often these are small particles in pockets, etc.).
