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
