Looking for a small smartphone, thinking about a refurbished iPhone SE 2016 (1st gen)
Hey all!
I'm currently using an Android phone, specifically a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3; the problem is that I usually have to recharge it at least twice a day with normal usage (for example, from 9am to 8pm, with 2 hours of screen time, it arrives at 20% of battery remaining), without considering that it's laggy and buggy. Lately, I've noticed that I'm using the phone just for messaging on WhatsApp or Telegram and sometimes reading articles or emails; I don't use social media, but I want to reduce my time on YouTube.
For these reasons, I'm considering switching to a lighter phone, like the iPhone SE 1st gen. I know it runs iOS 15 and won't get software updates in the future, but it has the form factor and the characteristics I want from a phone (including NFC for contactless payments).
I'm only afraid about the battery. Considering what I said above, and that I usually make an average of 4 hours of audio recording every day, do you think it would be a good daily driver? Is it worth buying a refurbished one for 105€ (about 110$)?
Thanks for your help

iPhone SE battery is known to be very short, especially the 2016 one, newer ones aren't much better. I'd try for an iPhone 13 mini if you still want a small phone, but don't expect battery to be great.

you could try an SE 2nd gen if you could find one
