The iPhone SE is a great camera phone for $400

Its basically an iPhone 6s inside the iPhone 5 body, so if you like that size I would consider it. Don't forget unlike a lot of phones at this price range since its iOS you'll be getting updates for about 4 more years vs possibly none.

low res screen, crappy battery life, not really worth it.

from what I have heard its battery life is better than that of a standard 6s 

 

and 326ppi is still very high

nvm, i guess 480p screen from 2012 did the trick, still overall not a good buy.

I have an iPhone SE, I don't know what you're talking about. The idle battery of this phone is fucking black magic, believe me. Also since this phone I don't have charger along my bed, I just charge it around there when I have an opportunity.

 

I don't think you have to dismiss other phones to make your argument valid.

Geez man you're confusing as hell. So @DrMacintosh recommended the iPhone SE and your answer was about the iPhone 6S? And you only clarify it with a link?

this is getting dumb, the link shows how good the i phone se battery life was, i was confirming,  @DrMacintosh claim, also the SE has the shitty screen, the 6s has a 768p display( + model has 1080p). 

[Tiz]

@nerdslayer1 whatever.

 

I completely recommend the iPhone SE, is my first iPhone, runs more smooth than any Android I've ever had (the last one was a Galaxy Note 4).

The iPhone SE is 640p, not that much lower and it still has the same ppi. Its not and at all

same PPI doesn't mean it's not a low res display, "not bad at all" is subjective.

I've had the Moto Z Play since October. 9 months almost and is quite impressed. It's still as fast as it was the day I got it. Battery life is awesome as you all know. Usually I get 2 full days with my usage. The camera was a slight step down from my LG G4, especially without OIS, but still I'm happy with most of the results. 

A few photos I've taken so far.

I'd recommend the One Plus 3T, while having an excellent camera it is also very powerful, has decent battery life, a 1920 x 1080 (401ppi) 5.5 inch display and is under £400, it competes with top phones at a brilliant price
