The battery life on SE 3?
I have a 13 pro with a degraded battery and a fully shattered back. Because of the shattered back, repair would be costly + I need a bigger storage phone (I preferably want a minimum of 256 gb) so I am wanting to use that repair money for a different phone.
I am very attracted to SE 3 due to the home button and “retro” look. However, I read some comments saying the battery is abysmal when using youtube or other apps.
I don’t need the most powerful phone, I want 256gb of storage and a decent battery. On my off time I do watch youtube a lot when I cook or do chores. And lots of music. At home, I am fine with charging, but when I am out and about I don’t want to deal with a draining battery.
Example: A few months ago, I used my current phone to take videos and pictures at my sisters baby shower and my battery was about ready to die after a couple hours and needed charging + I had to keep deleting apps to make storage for photos lol. It was a headache. All I was using was my camera app.
is se 3 a good fit? I was also eyeing a 14 or 16e.
