Compare the Apple iPhone SE 2022 to the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

The screen of the iPhone SE 3 is a lot smaller than the S21 FE. That's a difference of 1.4 inches. That makes it a compact device that you can control with 1 hand, but it's less suitable for watching movies and series. Due to the wide bezel at the top and the Touch ID home button at the bottom of the screen, the design is a bit dated. Many smartphones don't have that anymore. You can unlock them with your face or via a fingerprint sensor underneath the screen, for example.

The Galaxy S21 FE has full 6.1-inch screen. It doesn't have wide bezels or a home button. That way, you'll have more screen space compared to the iPhone SE 2022. The device is less compact, so it's difficult to control it with 1 hand. You can watch movies and series in a higher quality, because this device has a Full HD screen. The S21 FE supports facial recognition and it has a fingerprint sensor underneath the screen. You can unlock this device with your face or your fingerprint.

You can also find the A15 processor of the iPhone SE 2022 in the complete iPhone 13 series. It allows you to edit photos very quickly and easily use the most demanding apps. With 3GB RAM, you can smoothly switch between apps. You'll get yearly iOS updates for at least 5 years. The iPhone SE 3 will certainly last you until 2027.

The S21 FE also has a powerful processor. With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, you can play demanding 3D games without slowing down. Thanks to the 6GB RAM, you can also multitask without slowing down. That allows you to smoothly switch between your favorite apps. We expect the S21 FE to get regular Android software and security updates until 2026.

The standard camera of the iPhone SE 2022 is enough if you take simple photos and send them to friends and family. During the day, you can take sharp photos and record sharp videos with the 12-megapixel camera. In low light, your photos and videos are less high-quality. The portrait mode allows you to give your portrait photos a nice depth-of-field effect.

With the camera system of the S21 FE, you'll have more options. This device has 3 different cameras. With the wide-angle lens, you can take photos of broad landscapes. The telephoto lens allows you to bring everything closer without quality loss. The S21 FE has a night mode, so you can take sharp photos and record sharp videos in low light.

This device runs on iOS, which is the Apple operating system. This software is the same on every iPhone. If you had an iPhone before, you'll recognize the software right away. That makes it easy to use. Do you use other Apple devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods? These can easily work together with the iPhone SE 2022.

With Android, you'll have more freedom. You can adjust everything as you like. From the colors of the menu to the icons of your apps. Smartphones that run on Android all have a different look. For example, the software on Samsung looks different from a OnePlus smartphone. You'll have to get used to it when you switch from a different brand.

You can choose from 3 different storage capacities. There's a 64, 128, and 256GB version. The 64GB version is limited if you want to store all your photos, videos, and apps. We always recommend 128GB. The iPhone SE 2022 is available in black, white, and red. There's no space for a second physical SIM card. You'll need an eSIM if you want to be available via 2 phone numbers.

The S21 FE is only available with 128 or 256GB storage. No matter which version you choose, you'll have enough room for all your photos and other files. This device comes in gray, green, white, and purple. Do you want to be available via 2 phone numbers? There's room for 2 physical SIM cards. The Galaxy S21 FE doesn't support digital eSIM.
