downgraded from 13 mini to 2022 SE
Purchased 2022 SE 3rd gen after trying out a 13 mini ( renewed) had some scuffs around the camera and on the flash lens a weird blue splotch and you could tell it had been in a case because it had the imprint around the frame and edges of the 13 mini, and for the price i figured maybe try out the SE 2022 since its the exact same specs minus an hour or two difference in battery life and reduced camera features. i got the Product RED since it was more affordable in the Premium Renewed. i actually missed having the touch ID, its much more easier for me and doesn't lag the phone came with 100 percent battery health too! other than the cosmetic issues i prolly would have said this wasn't premium but it doesn't affect the functionality of the phone and the battery health is like new. I'm not an avid phone user, so this definitely gets me through the day on a single charge, just listening to spotify , making calls or texting, light instagram usage for vids and sending memes back and forth among my friends. I'm actually quite happier with this than the 13 mini . My star grade reflects the description of being premium renewed due to the upper corner of the camera lens having this crack that could affect water resistance but otherwise it runs smoothly and very light scratches like tiny ones on the front of the screen , as i was taking pics i was placing it into a life proof FRE case that fits the 7/8 and older 2020 SE as well. highly recommend.
