iPhone SE 3 (2022) vs iPhone 13 Mini | Camera, Gaming, Battery & Beyond!

Comparing Apple's iPhone SE 3 (2022 model) vs the iPhone 13 Mini, to see which compact smartphone boasts the best camera tech, gaming performance, battery life etc. The iPhone 13 Mini is the more expensive mobile but it also offers better value than the iPhone SE 2022, which is sub-par in most areas. I've used both as my full-time phone, and check out my review of the Mini for a closer look.

For one, the camera results are much stronger on the more expensive model. You'll enjoy stronger low light and HDR results, with modern features like a night mode present and correct. Battery drain is also disappointingly swift on the iPhone SE 3, with it usually hitting that power saver mode in early evening time.

That retro design may suit some, especially those who are still stuck on older Apple smartphones anyway. However, it's less easy to use one-handed than the 13 Mini. Performance is solid, although both blowers heat up fast under pressure, while the iPhone SE 2022 also disappoints with a tired old display. At least it brings wireless charging and IP67 water and dust resistance to a lower price point, though.

Full review of the SE coming soon, let me know what you reckon down below!

Thanks for checking out this iPhone comparison, hoping to spaff out a full review of the SE 2022 soon, but as you can see, not a massive fan just yet! Anyone else liking it more?

I’ve been using SE2022 for 6 months now, I find more friendly user than other I phones I had before . It’s very handy and love the performance it’s been giving me. Durable also for I dropped it several times due to carelessness but it leaves no scratches nor defects on it’s performance. I hope by 2024, Apple Co. will have another SE edition phone 📱!please!

SE is for those who don’t watch these tech videos and don’t care… they just want an iPhone! Which is a lot of people really. Apple will gladly take peoples money.. Great comparison 👍🏻

I find it weird how it's only been 4 years since Apple moved away from phones with bezels and a home button and they're already considered "comedically large"

[Joe-qthw]

Love your videos i see myself checking up on your channel every now and then for your newest videos🔥🔥

SE is much better for those who suffer from eye strain issues. OLED causes real issues. I don’t know what I am going to do in years to come . It’s a genuine worry.

I said this before: you are by far the most amusing tech reviewer out there. You could say anything in these vids and I would still enjoy them for the british accent and particular language.Cheers.

I love how the torch turned on as soon as he started talking about the 13 mini

Hi! Great review! Has anyone tried having actual photo prints made from pictures taken on se3 vs 13mini? If so, how are they? Big difference or not really? Thanks!

[mohamedabdallah]

I really appreciate it this review and it certainly was a lot of fun

I really appreciate it this review and it certainly was a lot of fun. I knew the iPhone many had to have a lot of advantages but I wasn't sure exactly how many since the sc3 is brand new as well. If you don't have much money you certainly would be better off buying one of the Android phones with more feature but if you can afford it and want a small phone it looks like the mini is definitely the way to go.

I just love your videos and your unending sense of humor. Great fun!
Thanks for the informative video.

Great video. Really like the way you talk 😄

[dpakkkk]

Thanks for the vid, was considering the se 3, but if battery is poor, i got to reconsider

[GoADHDGo]

Got the iPhone 13 Mini (256gb, midnight blue) and it’s the greatest phone I’ve ever had the pleasure of using.

Everything about it is absolutely glorious.

Where do you get all your wallpapers from?

I brought an SE 2020 on launch and I’m still using it and loving it now so I can’t see how I wouldn’t like the 2022! As a caveat I could not care less about the camera and I use it mainly as an iPod as well as being a phone which may have swayed me at the time as a replacement for my Razer phone and my iPod classic all in one!

I think the familiar design and ease of use is what MOST people are looking for and it’s probably the reason why it is one of the Top 10 most sold phones worldwide.

[mscuillo]

Great video! I have an SE now and ordered a mini to come tomorrow! The price is perfect now, plus trade in and veteran discount!

[RooneyUp]

I love your videos . Great sense of humour thrown in too . 👍
