Hi.
I’m now the owner, and user, of an iPhone SE 3. This is a great device, I’m very happy with it, and the performance is very good.
The only thing I don’t quite like, is the torch LED. It is greenish, especially compared to my old iPhone 8, which has a gorgeous white torch LED.
But I guess that’s not the main function of an iPhone, right? Also, it still makes light, greenish, but light after all, and when taking pictures the flash looks white.
Aside from the torch, the iPhone behaves as expected from an iPhone 13 with a much smaller res screen: super snappy, quick and responsive. Maybe not when taking pictures in the dark, but I guess even the iPhone 14 takes its time to take a picture in the dark.
Everything else is smooth-sailing for now. I’ve been taking pictures in the dark, setting up the phone, selectively activating the location services… for an hour. And from 100% of battery, I’m still with 91% remaining.
This is a great device, and I’ve also had good luck with the LCD display, which seems more quality than my previous iPhone 8. Some previous displays I’ve had, such as the 5S, the original SE or the iPhone 8, had all of them some sort of moire effect on color gray and translucent items such as the control center. However, this is the first LCD that greys don’t show that effect and colors look solid, despite the screen having a warmer tone, it is really gorgeous.
It is lightweight. It is comfortable to use one hand, just like my iPhone 8. It is sturdy and tough, something good for someone like me who drops occasionally their smartphone (after many drops, my iPhone 8 is still rocking strong).
Very happy overall. If only I could take the torch LEDs from the iPhone 8 and replace them on the SE3…
