iPhone SE vs TCL 10 Pro! Budget Battle! By JuanBagnell

Fight for blood I actually wrote the sound effects into my script. I. Think it's fair to say. Social distancing is starting to get to me. Here's what we're not going to do we're not going to sit through me reading specs. If you care about that pause this video and go to GSM arena about now done.

Reading great I want to talk about philosophy. You have five hundred dollars to spend on a phone, and you want some change back. Apple and TCL have very different solutions: Apple delivering a familiar-looking frame, hiding a beast of a sleeper engine, TCL focusing on multimedia playback, with a more rounded out mid-range offering in terms of design. These two couldn't be more different if they try TCL shows up like the lovechild of a one plus eight and a Huawei Mate ten Pro. This is the flashy look that manufacturers have positioned is a premium smartphone here in the mid-range, the iPhone SE is old, reliable I'd say this: is the more practical daily driver and looks the SE is a 2014 Corolla against the TCL's 2020 86, but the iPhones looks contribute to some lifestyle perks like getting a dedicated home button, a subtle but appreciated ergonomic advantage over in display fingerprint sensors in all, while the iPhone is more practical, the TCL is definitely the looker that commentary flips.

When we talk about performance, though Yes has higher performance cuts, it's premium tier number crunching no way around it. Now the snapdragon 675 is perfectly adequate. It's even surprising on a few of my benchmarks, but driving each phone hard. No one is disputing apple's advantage here at sub $500. That said, daily driver options aren't as fun when they have tiny little gas tanks.

You really want to run that Apple hardware you're, not gonna, be able to flog it for long. Let's switch up some metaphors here. Apple is giving us the gourmet meal, but the portions are tiny TCL given us some solid diner food, and you're. Taking home leftovers for two more meals, that's the main gig between two phones at around 450 dollars. TCL starts scoring a lot of hardware wins after the performance comparison, the display the cameras, a built-in headphone day, which in 2020 takes some courage.

Courage, port, is a microtransaction for the iPhone SE. But if we're talking up lifestyle features, we shouldn't discount the iPhones rated water resistance and wireless charging, but wireless charging makes me a little nervous on a phone where battery longevity is a concern and the value leans a little heavier for TCL for that out of the box price TCL, providing a faster charger and a phone case in the box. The overall ecosystem of accessories is going to be way healthier for a phone that can piggyback on years of iPhone 8 production, throwing cash on top of the purchase price you'll have a lot more choices for cases covers skins, mounts accessories and keeping a longer-term view I'd be willing to wager decent money that, at this price, Apple will probably offer more consistent and longer-term software support. TCL is a bit of an unknown here, so there's no way to predict what they'll be capable of I'm, just going with my gut all right, adding all of that up, where's that leave us between the iPhone SE 2020 and the TCL 10 Pro. This is a crazy fight.

If I were to boil this down to its basest elements, I think we've got a hardware versus software fight on our hands from early impressions. I think the TCL hardware has the potential to age better over time. Apple has the better processor, but we have to see if the battery can hang if heavier users will get throttled sooner or if we just need to factor in the cost of a battery replacement over the life of the phone for Hardware. In my experiences, other TCL Built phones have aged pretty well, and I've got high hopes that this battery is going to age, very gracefully for the target consumer shopping in the mid-range. But again, the flip side of that is I think we can be somewhat confident that the iPhone SE s software will age more gracefully, especially as I'm a very happy owner of an original iPhone SE, which, for the core operating system, is still up-to-date.

I, don't think, that's a very controversial prediction that this phone will have all the same operating system numbers in the settings three years from now. So in a battle of pros and cons, you get to pick your poison. The great thing about a fight at this price point I'm not seeing any major of jet of deal-breakers. Let me hear it down in the comments sub $500, which phone takes the win. I want to hear your pros or cons your worries.

Your excitement drop some comments down below, as always thanks so much for watching for sharing these videos and subscribing more than just reading the spec sheet and then declaring winners and losers based on SEO popularity, we want to dig a little deeper than that. This stuff is a lot more fun when we have good competition and I think we're in for some strong action in the mid-range this year. If you would like to support the production of these conversations, I have some links down below and the support banner on some gadgets guide calm, but you might also consider joining the list of names scrolling by on your screen. That's a growing community of fun, like-minded Tech pals, a huge resource for me as I'm planning, future videos and reviews, and a lot of the commentary that you're hearing here was worked out in some conversations on my private discord. These folks are super cool people.

They might be the coolest people, so I hope you'll check them out now. You know where you can find me around the rest of the internet at some gadget guy on the Twitter's and the twitch, and the Facebook's and the Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video you.
