If camera quality is important to you, the Samsung Galaxy S10+ offers a multiple lens setup with a telephoto lens for zoom and an ultra-wide lens for broader shots, while the iPhone SE (2022) has a single lens that still takes great photos but lacks the flexibility of additional lenses. The Galaxy S10+ also has a larger, higher resolution OLED screen with better color contrast compared to the iPhone SE's smaller LCD screen. However, if you prefer a more compact phone with a newer chipset for potentially better performance, the iPhone SE is equipped with Apple's A15 chip. Also, if you are invested in the Apple ecosystem and prefer iOS, the iPhone SE would integrate seamlessly. The Galaxy S10+ has longer battery life and includes a headphone jack, but if wireless charging is a priority for you, both phones support it. In terms of price, the Galaxy S10+ is more budget-friendly than the iPhone SE (2022). Give Feedback

Ars Technica

Samuel Axon | March 2022
"Thanks to the inclusion of the A15 chip, the SE is likely to be supported for years to come. That makes it the best deal in smartphones today for folks who just want something simple and don't care about the frills. The iPhone SE is a great deal if you're more interested in the basics than the latest flashy features.. It's also a great option for people who prefer to use their phones one-handed—a dying breed, we know."

"This handset gives you a big and immersive full-screen experience, very capable cameras and fast performance in a slick design. Samsung also deserves credit for how seamlessly the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and Wireless PowerShare features work."
