iPhone XR or SE, which iPhone would you choose or do you use? iPhone XR and thee 2020 iPhone SE are the least expensive new phones from Apple. In this video I show you both iPhone SE as compared to iPhone XR to help you determine which one is best for you. Thanks for watching!
Damn boy 🤣. Look bro the SE is way cheaper than what people tell you . Some carrier’s offer the SE for 265$ after taxes if you can’t afford that then you have no business buying a phone 🤣
The SE has better performance so don't worry ik the XR looks better but the SE is kinda better I don't have either but I used to own the XR and it wasn't all that tbh
She probably saw it costed more so thought it was the better phone and wanted to get you the better one which the se is better, trust me I had both and the xr wasn’t that great
I don't think I've seen many people mention this but I really appreciate that you divide the video timeline into chapters based on what you're talking about in each section of the video! I don't think I've seen any other youtubers do this! Thanks Aaron 🙂
I gave the SE a chance but I exchanged for the XR in the end. The SE felt like a step backwards in terms of battery life and screen size (coming from a 7 Plus). Much happier with XR now.
I chose the SE and I’m very happy with it... I like the smaller screen size vs the larger phones and my 2020 SE is replacing my 4 inch SE from 2016....all of you’re reviews are great! Thanks very much for the time you take to deliver these informative videos!
@Mait Oliver Hellat Nahhhh.... it lasts long enough the way it’s set up... never let it discharge past 50% and it’ll pretty much last 4 plus years.. low power mode is used when you can’t plug in right away and that’s what it was originally intended for...
in 2021 I bought iphone Xr and I am impressed of how fluid is and how good the camera is for a single lens one. Apple is so good at optimizing their devices.
@@vilma4054 battery life can last to 5 to 6 hours buy a quick fast charger and the problem is gone both iPhones don't come with it at all plus because of the a13 bionic chip in it. it is eating the battery life away the same will happen to the XR
I’d go for the SE. If I wanted a bigger and full screen, I’d wait for the 12. But I must admit XR’s battery is great and I hope the 12 will be like that or even surpass it.
Have you tried pulling down your mask for like 2 seconds? Try using Fingerprint Scanner with gloves on, it’s virtually impossible to even unlock your phone.
I prefer an xr. The a12 and a13 chip are almost identical. Xr is fast as hell. The battery on the xr is way bigger than the se. you’ll prolly get like 3 or 4 more hours on the xr. the camera is still amazing on the xr even tho the se is better it doesn’t really make a big difference to me. So I suggest for anyone who’s trying to decide, get an xr.
Unknown User yes I know the se has a better camera. I’m just saying the camera on the xr is still good and you shouldn’t really see a different between the cameras in day to day life. You’ll only see a little difference if you put them side by side. but this all my opinion if you think the se is more worth it than the xr than it’s your choice:)
Ended up with an XR because I got deal. Coming from a 6s the SE was really intriguing and less learning curve. The bigger screen and longer battery of the XR will probably come in handy though. Don’t think you can go wrong either way.
Mish Moves I respect that. Some people just like smaller phones, and I get the appeal. I personally spent $30 more on my black XR and I love it. I have fairly large hands and I was coming from an 8 plus (had an 11 before an 8 plus) so I was fairly satisfied. I just feel left out with the bezels. Once u go to the gestures u never go back. Ofc that isn’t true for everyone.
@@bigredii2253 Very interesting. I'd have to try out bezel-less before buying one... I don't know if I'd like that. Probably once I adapted to it, that would be as good or better than bezels.
I actually just traded in my iPhone XR for a iPhone SE. The size along with the home button made me go back. With the need wearing a mask the Touch ID will be a lot less annoying. Since my work requires a complex pin I am getting real tired having to key it in all the time.
I'm getting the XR in November. It has a modern look, good camera, face id, it's fast, and isn't too small 👍👍 EDIT: I ended up getting the SE 2 bc I have the smallest hands in the world 🙌🏻
The positive on the SE over the XR is that the SE has Apple’s A13 Bionic chip compared to the XR that has the A12 chip which means that the SE will get supported a bit longer than the XR because the A12 chip was made in 2018 while the A13 chip was made in 2019 so the SE wins this one in my opinion that is
What's the point of having a generation-ahead chip, if you mix it with only 3gig of ram and a crappy battery?. More like a scam to me. That's only for light gaming. Yeah I'll get a nice chip but my battery will die in less than 2 hours of gaming.
I’d rather have the XR because of the screen and battery life. Ever since I got the 11 I’ve been addicted to the full screen display that covers the whole phone, it looks amazing.
XR here. Love the overall size and screen size, plus battery life. I get a consistent 11-12 hours of screen time with my battery health at only 94%. It’s just over a year old this month. Only disappointment on the XR was to hear from on this video that the microphone quality seemed to be fair, at best. The SE looks to be a fine offering for the price, but I also prefer the XR for the larger size as I have huge hands, plus the larger screen for my aging eyes. Thanks for another fine review, Aaron.
I’ll keep using my XR. I got the SE 6 days ago and will be taking it back to Apple with the 14 day refund policy. I would prefer a smaller phone but the XR was initially cheaper than the small X/XS. The SE small battery issue - goes flat fast as I use the hotspot at work all day, which is challenging to keep charging it. The XR battery lasts all day easily. Another frustration I have with the SE is the world/globe button for keyboards English/Emoji/Bitmoji you have to toggle between them, by pressing & holding, which slows down my texting which I do all the time for work & personal. The XR has more space on the screen for the extra key to be displayed.
Great detailed unbiased review. Just bought an iPhone SE, as more of a getting less attached to my smart phone situation. I've had the OnePlus 6t and have noticed I spent way too much time on it lol I'm hoping this will help curve that.
I'm planning on doing the same. Had my galaxy s9 for a while now and consume way too much media on it - Netflix and RUclips etc. I hope having a smaller screen willl curve that
I think battery life and screen size are my most important considerations in my usage case. With all else being pretty much equal, including the price. I would choose the XR. iPhone 11 user.
Slick-SZN it’s garbage for u but it isn’t because I have it it can support 120fps and I’m getting new iPad Pro beat that broke peasant and because your a android fan u can’t afford 3 iPhone SE2 and now ur triggered lmao your phone is low key garbage
I have both and I like both tbh. The SE feels faster, and I like its compact form. Sometimes I even forget it’s on my pocket. However, the XR has a much better battery, and it feels more comfortable while typing. I think I’m getting my wife the SE, an upgrade from her Galaxy S6. It will fit her purse comfortably. I’m not a fan of taking photos so I can’t comment on the camera quality.
Been using one since Feb. 2019. Still love it! Unless Apple comes up with something extraordinary this year, will hold on to this one until it stops getting updates.
The screen is good ? I have a 6s plus with a higher resolution and higher pixel density and i want to know if the color accurate and the screen in general are better. Thank you for your answer
I had the XR back when it came out a few years ago, it was great but it was just too big and hard to use one handed which is a huge no from me. I then upgraded to the 12 Mini and it was much nicer but the battery life sucked and the OLED display just sucked it dry and the boxy corners made it slippery to hold without a case. I then sold that as the battery health was declining below 87% after just one year. Now I've just purchased the SE 2020 so I can finally go back to the ol reliable 6S design, a phone which never failed me back in the day
You care for the battery life but then you went back to the SE what 😂😂😂, also just get a new iPhone 15/Galaxy S23 they are much smaller than the XR because of the thin bezels and the battery life is phenomenal
@@Shockload The SE 2 had WAYY better battery life than the 12 Mini and I said it was because because the battery health was degrading, which typically happens after 500 or so charge cycles, Also I absolutely hate thin bezels. There is nothing I despise more than thin bezels and all the issues that come with it. It's just not practical at all you end up with so many accidental inputs on the screen just by holding it and it's annoying to use one handed... I only know this because I have an iPhone 14 right now and yet again I want to trade it for an SE3
@@bosschungles Hmmm you are a weird one lol, you can easily solve the accidental inputs by putting a case ! Also the 13 mini has better battery life than the SE3, the cameras too obviously
My black XR came today and I like it already. It's my first iPhone too. I upgraded from a Samsung. I was about to order the SE 2 at first but I put the XR over the SE because of the newer design, bigger screen, more battery life, the XR is the same size as my old phone which is great it's not too big it's perfect. Typing is easy as there's a nice amount of space between the keys. I feel like the SE would feel too small for most people. Even though the XR has no home button I already learned how to leave and close apps in just 10 minutes. To those deciding between the SE 2 and XR i recommend the XR for an extra $100 👍
Well iPhones never had worse battery life compared to its predecessor (compared to the same size) so it definitely will have at least the same battery life as the 11 which already is slightly better than the XR. The 5.4" of course most likely will be slightly worse.
Hello Aaron, I have been watching your channel for a while and I wanted to make a video suggestion, I was wondering if you could do a video on iPhone XS should you still buy in 2020. A lot of carriers are having deals on them ATT is having a deal with the XS where you can get it for 10 dollars a month and the XS Max I believe for 15. Sprint is doing a buy one, lease one deal as well with the XS. Verizon lowered their price on the XS as well.
I dont understand why people say battery on SE is trash... i have a SE 2020 and i use is whole day and From :08:00 in the morning to 18:00 in the evening is stil have 40-50% battery. Its a beast ! Im happy with it.
SE because I prefer Touch ID over Face ID (and the change in location the control centre is accessed in the slightly different UI). I was very much hoping the 12 range would have the finger print sensor in/on the power button as per the IPad Air 4 that came out this year. Plus Face ID as well. So yes the SE for me because of the Touch ID. Give me Touch ID and Face ID in the same phone plus the ability to add the control center to a widget or change the swipe location and I’ll gladly buy it. Until then I vote with my wallet and keep my iPhone 8. And put the headphone jack back And stop calling things Pro when they really aren’t.
A'aron I just brought the SE because I had an iPhone 7 for since it's been out and then I had a refurbished one because I refused to buy a new expensive phone. I watched your review to refreshed my knowledge on what this phone does and far and the new features goes.
Sir you have a beautiful voiceover and there's no need for the subtitles on the video, I can clearly hear and understand what you are talking and really I loved the way you explained everything step by step. 🥰
I actually love the se my boyfriend got it to pair with the Apple Watch I bought him. The size feels just right like the 6s. Photos are good it has some effects that the 11 doesn’t, I have the 11. I came from a 7plus sometimes I do miss the finger print. Over all it’s a great budget phone. I see people who have the 11pro and their clothes looks washed out. Save that money buy what you can afford!
Last week, I paid $350 new for a 128GB Product Red iPhone XR, so the choice was clear for me. Other than being huge (prefer small phones, came from OG iPhone SE), I love it!
i like SE better, mostly because the processor is better, its smaller, and has a home button edit: plus, touch id is faster and easier than the face id imo
I’m trying to use this to decide whether I want one of these or dd. This decides which goes to compete lol. I love your videos. You never leave a detail out. And honestly I think I’m gonna go with the car because of the pled display, dual camera, screen size, bezel sizes, and 3D Touch along with Face ID
Biggest advantage of the XR is that you can find it used for cheaper and you’ll be able to sell it once the 12 comes out for a much nicer price than the SE
You are a good mind reader this is what I’m looking for to upgrade my old SE . I prefer XR because of battery 🔋 life . Rest all doesn’t matter. Im fed up of taking power bank everywhere
The XR has the best optimum size , great display and battery endurance is excellent. I upgraded from SE to XR upon launching , never had problems and it does what it does best unlike gimmick features in android where we dont use those features on our daily lifes.
I have had the XR for a year now and lemme tell you. Buy the XR. Not the se, i had the se before the XR and lemme tell you that XR is much better. Trust me,once u Got that XR in your hands ur gonna be so HAPPY after spending ur money! Cuz its really worth it 🤯😊
I have an iPhone XR but I’m really considering getting the SE. My hands are small and I can’t reach the far ends of the screen. Plus I like the compact size of the SE. Kinda getting tired of the bigger screen.
Reasons Why I want the iphone XR 1. I'm in love with the coral 2. Fuller screen 3. Face ID 4. I just really like everything about it Reasons why I need the Iphone SE 1. Cheaper( I can actually afford it!) 2. Small hands 3. Camera Quality much better than my android 4. Seems like a decent iphone to get. Now, If I couldve get the XR, I wouldn't even bother with the SE, As for right now I'm just really glad they released this phone when they did. I need a fast working phone with a good camera quality. For so long I hate my android. Now I can finally get this phone, which my parents will help to pay for. Just really grateful for the Iphone SE.
@@rannagamingz8778 Individuals like you give android a bad name. It's better to mention the exact budget device you got so people can really see how shitty it is rather than letting the isheeps believe Androids have bad cameras. Only budget androids suck if you were to get a better android everything would be 10x better.
@@jonathan262 nope, I can even pick up my phone from.distance and just lay my thumb on it and it's already open before having to put my face infront of it. The touch ID on the new SE is like top notch
So i chose XR and its the best choice over SE. The bigger screen feels more modern and the face id works so quickly without even trying. I remember those horrible screen finger print sensor on samsung screens.. just not practical. Speakers are loud and clear and video recording is the smoothest. The only complaint i have is the screen resolution which I got used to and doesnt make much of a difference. Very practical decision
iPhone XR or SE, which iPhone would you choose or do you use? iPhone XR and thee 2020 iPhone SE are the least expensive new phones from Apple. In this video I show you both iPhone SE as compared to iPhone XR to help you determine which one is best for you. Thanks for watching!

So, I prefer SE...
Indeed I personally don’t like face ID seems stupid to me
Also while being very dark skinned under darker lighting
it includes your eyes also so
Just rescan your face & mask
apply uv paint on it scan & it will work
Have you tried pulling down your mask for like 2 seconds? Try using Fingerprint Scanner with gloves on, it’s virtually impossible to even unlock your phone.

@@fahimasiddique1671 XR because SE2 came out in 2020, duh..
The video we all been waiting for. Thank you so much 😊
I’ve got the iPhone XR and I really like it! Battery life is awesome!
The screen is good ? I have a 6s plus with a higher resolution and higher pixel density and i want to know if the color accurate and the screen in general are better. Thank you for your answer
THOMAS VAN GORKOM 11 pro max for me huge battery plus coming from a Samsung note 9 much better battery plus I prefer big phones
Sowneyy / Loic Yeah the screen is awesome.
Same, my battery was 91% after 1 hour of use.
@@sowneyy2478 the screen is amazing
I had the XR back when it came out a few years ago, it was great but it was just too big and hard to use one handed which is a huge no from me. I then upgraded to the 12 Mini and it was much nicer but the battery life sucked and the OLED display just sucked it dry and the boxy corners made it slippery to hold without a case. I then sold that as the battery health was declining below 87% after just one year. Now I've just purchased the SE 2020 so I can finally go back to the ol reliable 6S design, a phone which never failed me back in the day
How has the battery life been?
@@mikeatona69 terrible😂
You care for the battery life but then you went back to the SE what 😂😂😂, also just get a new iPhone 15/Galaxy S23 they are much smaller than the XR because of the thin bezels and the battery life is phenomenal
@@Shockload The SE 2 had WAYY better battery life than the 12 Mini and I said it was because because the battery health was degrading, which typically happens after 500 or so charge cycles, Also I absolutely hate thin bezels. There is nothing I despise more than thin bezels and all the issues that come with it. It's just not practical at all you end up with so many accidental inputs on the screen just by holding it and it's annoying to use one handed... I only know this because I have an iPhone 14 right now and yet again I want to trade it for an SE3
@@bosschungles Hmmm you are a weird one lol, you can easily solve the accidental inputs by putting a case !
Also the 13 mini has better battery life than the SE3, the cameras too obviously
My black XR came today and I like it already. It's my first iPhone too. I upgraded from a Samsung. I was about to order the SE 2 at first but I put the XR over the SE because of the newer design, bigger screen, more battery life, the XR is the same size as my old phone which is great it's not too big it's perfect. Typing is easy as there's a nice amount of space between the keys. I feel like the SE would feel too small for most people. Even though the XR has no home button I already learned how to leave and close apps in just 10 minutes. To those deciding between the SE 2 and XR i recommend the XR for an extra $100 👍
how's it holding up to now 🤔🤔
after watching tons of videos I'm sure xr is better option
same with me
@@rochitgurung9090 Sorry for the late reply but 7 months later and it’s still running strong 💪
@@Victor-kb2kl indeed mine too I just purchased Xr one month after I Made the original comment
Battery life on the XR is amazing and I'm a power user! Hopefully the 6.1" iPhone 12 has similar or better battery life!
Well iPhones never had worse battery life compared to its predecessor (compared to the same size) so it definitely will have at least the same battery life as the 11 which already is slightly better than the XR. The 5.4" of course most likely will be slightly worse.
I thought the IPhone 11 has worse battery than the IPhone XR...
Rene Rivera it lasts (according to Apple) up to 1 hour longer.
Tim R. False
@@betterleper714 I checked and it’s true
I have 2020 SE - and I love it ❤️
The bezel on the new se is starting to annoy me lol. Should of gone xr.
Hows the battery life? I'm so undecided...
plz explain battery life??
I have also the battery life is very good😃
Nice Video
keep up the amazing work love the way you make it so easy to comprehend and way to understand
Hello Aaron, I have been watching your channel for a while and I wanted to make a video suggestion, I was wondering if you could do a video on iPhone XS should you still buy in 2020. A lot of carriers are having deals on them ATT is having a deal with the XS where you can get it for 10 dollars a month and the XS Max I believe for 15. Sprint is doing a buy one, lease one deal as well with the XS. Verizon lowered their price on the XS as well.
I dont understand why people say battery on SE is trash... i have a SE 2020 and i use is whole day and From :08:00 in the morning to 18:00 in the evening is stil have 40-50% battery. Its a beast ! Im happy with it.
SE because I prefer Touch ID over Face ID (and the change in location the control centre is accessed in the slightly different UI). I was very much hoping the 12 range would have the finger print sensor in/on the power button as per the IPad Air 4 that came out this year. Plus Face ID as well.
So yes the SE for me because of the Touch ID.
Give me Touch ID and Face ID in the same phone plus the ability to add the control center to a widget or change the swipe location and I’ll gladly buy it.
Until then I vote with my wallet and keep my iPhone 8.
And put the headphone jack back
And stop calling things Pro when they really aren’t.
i ligit am stuck between these two sooo thanks
What did you end up buying
@@coolboy6090 ooo forgot about this video lmao I got the XR and it’s really good👍
this video covers practically every probable question coming into my mind.
A'aron I just brought the SE because I had an iPhone 7 for since it's been out and then I had a refurbished one because I refused to buy a new expensive phone. I watched your review to refreshed my knowledge on what this phone does and far and the new features goes.
Damn bro nice I’m saving up for the iPhone 11
I just got the IPhone XR, and omg I couldn’t be any happier to finally have a real phone after having the IPhone 4s since 2013.
aw im so happy 4 u
@@cryingluvr yup, I was deciding between XR and SE, but no matter which one I use, it’s a major upgrade from the Stone aged IPhone 4s
I suggest the xr if u have the money however, in terms of money, SE is the best option 👍🏼
Which is better for gaming?
@@jhanreysabornido8376 xr
Quality content, as usual. Thanks.
Sir you have a beautiful voiceover and there's no need for the subtitles on the video, I can clearly hear and understand what you are talking and really I loved the way you explained everything step by step. 🥰
Great video, helped me choose the SE, more suited to my needs and I like the fingerprint over face scanner. Cheers!
I actually love the se my boyfriend got it to pair with the Apple Watch I bought him. The size feels just right like the 6s. Photos are good it has some effects that the 11 doesn’t, I have the 11. I came from a 7plus sometimes I do miss the finger print. Over all it’s a great budget phone. I see people who have the 11pro and their clothes looks washed out. Save that money buy what you can afford!
im considering going from a 7+ to an SE, is there anything to watch out for?
Great review. Thank you.
SE for me. SE vs Pro Max. SE still even if I can afford Pro Max.
Just saying that I prefer compact phones.😀
XR's pictures seem more saturated. Or is that just me???? I'm trying to choose between the two lol.
Aaron it is a pleasure to listen to you and learn from you. You are the consummate professional!
Great in depth review. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Changing video settings in the camera app can be turned on in preferences. It's not super intuitive, but it's there.
I have both XS Max and SE 2020...as I don't like to carry a big phone everytime, also I wanted to feel how fast this small buddy is!!
Thanks Zollo, you saved me the phone call on this one.
Last week, I paid $350 new for a 128GB Product Red iPhone XR, so the choice was clear for me. Other than being huge (prefer small phones, came from OG iPhone SE), I love it!
Can you link where you got it
i like SE better, mostly because the processor is better, its smaller, and has a home button
edit: plus, touch id is faster and easier than the face id imo
I got the SE and I love it! So I’m sticking wit dat SE!😌
How is battery life
@@lavanyatripathii2843 battery life isn’t that good but if we’re talking to the performance i will stick to the SE
@@yztsukasa9158 the battery is good fym
15:11 SE loaded minecraft world quicker by the help of the A13 Chip
By not even 2 seconds, if you think that's worth choosing the SE over the XR, you must be on something.
@@shototodoroki3543 Whatever
@@jasonskerritt5258 Poor ass bum cant spend a couple hundred more bucks to get the XR
@@shototodoroki3543 😂bruh why you gotta be so toxic I mean I do agree with you tho about the XR
@@kisukeop9139 I gotta be toxic to push them to getting the XR.
I’m trying to use this to decide whether I want one of these or dd. This decides which goes to compete lol. I love your videos. You never leave a detail out. And honestly I think I’m gonna go with the car because of the pled display, dual camera, screen size, bezel sizes, and 3D Touch along with Face ID
Best review video I've ever watched. You nailed everything.
Facts
I have a xr but honestly watching this, I definitely think the se is better generally (microphone, camera, classic design etc)
just got the xr today 🥰 i love the newer modern design, very happy!
Biggest advantage of the XR is that you can find it used for cheaper and you’ll be able to sell it once the 12 comes out for a much nicer price than the SE
You are a good mind reader this is what I’m looking for to upgrade my old SE . I prefer XR because of battery 🔋 life . Rest all doesn’t matter. Im fed up of taking power bank everywhere
😂🤣😂. Its an iPhone. Don’t throw away that bank just yet. C’mon. 😂🤣😂😳🥺😭
I REALLY APPRECIATE you going the extra mile on this video to help make better decisions. Blessings.
The XR has the best optimum size , great display and battery endurance is excellent. I upgraded from SE to XR upon launching , never had problems and it does what it does best unlike gimmick features in android where we dont use those features on our daily lifes.
I get 8-9 hours of screen on time on my iPhone XR.
Pulkit Sachdeva After 8 hours of screen time on 11 pro, the battery is still at 50%.
What iOS version
Yes the XR was one of the best sold iPhones in 2019, enjoy the phone. I’m ordering my iPhone 11 Pro Max in a few days.
As a matter of fact i got the Pro Max right now and i love it
@@lifeinjapan1592 WOWWW
I have had the XR for a year now and lemme tell you. Buy the XR. Not the se, i had the se before the XR and lemme tell you that XR is much better. Trust me,once u Got that XR in your hands ur gonna be so HAPPY after spending ur money! Cuz its really worth it 🤯😊
You can change the frame rate and resolution inside of the camera app on the XR. You just need to enable it in settings.
Needed to have this thorough in-depth analysis... Thanks mate
I have an iPhone XR but I’m really considering getting the SE. My hands are small and I can’t reach the far ends of the screen. Plus I like the compact size of the SE. Kinda getting tired of the bigger screen.
I have iPhone se 2020 brand new you wanna exchange with me
Reasons Why I want the iphone XR
1. I'm in love with the coral
2. Fuller screen
3. Face ID
4. I just really like everything about it
Reasons why I need the Iphone SE
1. Cheaper( I can actually afford it!)
2. Small hands
3. Camera Quality much better than my android
4. Seems like a decent iphone to get.
Now, If I couldve get the XR, I wouldn't even bother with the SE, As for right now I'm just really glad they released this phone when they did. I need a fast working phone with a good camera quality. For so long I hate my android. Now I can finally get this phone, which my parents will help to pay for. Just really grateful for the Iphone SE.
i have the xr
@@rannagamingz8778 Individuals like you give android a bad name. It's better to mention the exact budget device you got so people can really see how shitty it is rather than letting the isheeps believe Androids have bad cameras. Only budget androids suck if you were to get a better android everything would be 10x better.
@@MM32958 tf are u talking about
Just picked up a 256g iPhone SE from verizon for $350. Thats what won it for me. Cant find that deal for a verizon Xr anywhere near that price
Only XR! BATTERY! FACEID AND BIG SCREEN IS WHAT I NEED)))
I would choose the SE because my hands are a little more smaller and Touch ID is easier than Face ID
Its all about preference. Face I'd is incredibly fast. Touch id can sometimes be inaccurate.
@@jonathan262 nope, I can even pick up my phone from.distance and just lay my thumb on it and it's already open before having to put my face infront of it.
The touch ID on the new SE is like top notch
I love my red XR. Not sure if I could go back to a physical home button
Great and concise review. Too marks on presentation Zollotech!
thank you for the education. Your voice & pacing is easy to listen to and helps take in the info.
Aaron: STOP! WAIT!
*takes selfie
Now lets continue!
The battery of the Xr is a beast, draining the battery in a day is almost impossible!
i do it in 6 hours easily
you deserve a subscriber, I love the way you divide the video
So i chose XR and its the best choice over SE. The bigger screen feels more modern and the face id works so quickly without even trying. I remember those horrible screen finger print sensor on samsung screens.. just not practical. Speakers are loud and clear and video recording is the smoothest. The only complaint i have is the screen resolution which I got used to and doesnt make much of a difference. Very practical decision
