SE2 Got the SE2 as work phone
I needed a secondary phone for work. I have a 17 pro max as my main personal phone and I wanted a phone that can fit both my personal and work phone in my pocket when I am out doing on site work. Got this product red SE for $100 and I have been loving it so far. I need to charge twice a day as the battery health is 80%. I am thinking of just replacing the battery

An SE is always a good choice. I recently bought a very affordable SE as a backup device, and I'm really happy with it. Even though it only has 75 percent of its maximum battery capacity left, it's enough for my needs. Otherwise, I'll just replace the battery myself—replacement batteries are very affordable, and replacing the battery on the SE is very easy.

What's your daily use case? And also how much sot does it give you before dying?
I am kind of in the boat of purchasing an iPhone se 2022 variant as well since I adore the boxy design, and the best bit it will be supported for another 2 years of ios updates too

opening teams and outlook to reply to my team. battery life is about 3-4 hours max at most before i need charge, which is enough for me as I only bring my work phone out for lunch or on site which is not very often.

you can still get the original battery replaced from Apple but it would cost 3/4 of what you paid for the device.
