Buying a new iPhone: iPhone 5S or SE, which one is good?

Are you thinking of picking up a new iPhone lately, maybe because you want a shift from the Android OS. Here are some good choices for you to go with. If your primary use is just a budget friendly phone go in for the iPhone 5S, and if you want something more powerful within a budget the SE is a better choice.

The iPhone 5S undoubtedly is one of my favourite iPhones till date, especially because of its sharp edge design and easy to carry screen sizes. You do not get to see such phones , especially with the launch of bigger screen size phones coming into the market. The iPhone SE is the only big competition to the 5S in terms of screen size, because the SE is a powerhouse. The iPhone SE 16GB variant just costs about 20,000/- INR which is nothing as compared to even the best android phones.

On the other hand the iPhone 5S, is a very old device, probably 4 generations older to its successors, and still people go for it. You can get a 5S for just 15,000/- , so if you see the comparison, the SE was launched in 2015, and its got a big price drop , and on the other hand the 5S is a much older device, which is still sticking to its price tag, because of the volume of sales happening is big.

The iPhone 5S is powered by the Apple A7 chip , whereas the SE is powered by the A9 chip, which is way more powerful than the SE in performance. The Memory RAM is doubled in the SE, which makes app runs like a breeze. In addition to this apple has added the 3D Touch to make the iPhone SE stand out amongst the crowd.

The iPhone 5S is available at the moment in Space Grey and Gold, in 16GB storage with a price tag of Rs. 15,000/- through any one of the websites like Flipkart, Amazon, Ebay etc. On the other hand you get a powerhouse iPhone SE which also comes in with similar colour variants along with a special Rose Gold colour as well, and 16GB , 32GB and 64GB storage variants priced at Rs. 20,245/- , Rs. 23,422/- and Rs. 26,990/- respectively through Amazon India
