          Apple iPhone SE vs Google Pixel - User Opinions

            At the end of the day, the better phone here is easily the Pixel 6a. For $20 more than the $429 iPhone SE, you get a nicer design with a much better OLED display, a more versatile (and capable) camera set and longer battery life. It's sort of a no brainer. That is, unless you're in the Apple ecosystem.Jul 28, 2022
