The iPhone SE vs. the competition: Bang for your buck

The iPhone SE vs. the competition: Bang for your buck

Flagship phones have risen in price dramatically in the past few years, forcing buyers on a budget to make a lot of compromises when it came to power and performance. However, some manufacturers have risen to the challenge, finding ways to deliver flagship specs at a lower price point. Today Apple unveiled a new iPhone SE in that vein. It’s got the same processor as its more expensive siblings, making it a very attractive option, but there are plenty of Android handsets also worth a look. We’ve lined up some of the better mid-range devices out there, including the Pixel 3a — mostly because we haven’t gotten a good look at the Pixel 4a just yet. For a deeper dive into the new iPhone, come back in a few weeks for our full review.
