June 05, 2025
1. iPhone SE 2020 reviews: it’s great, not a battery beast
Last week I said the iPhone SE 2020 was good enough for most people. I can now addeasily.
Now iPhone SE 2020 reviews are out, and the summary is compelling and remarkably similar across different reviews:Apple’s new small phone is a smash at $399.
Normally I’d linger on interesting review points or disagreements, but the reviews keep saying the same thing, withlots of high marks and star ratings:
2.The Motorola Edge launched yesterdayon schedule and everything we thought we knew was about right: this new flagship looks like it can keep up with the best from Samsung, OnePlus, LG, and others, but at $1000, and locked down with Verizon in the US. It looks promising in terms of what a good phone may be, but there are no reviews yet, just hands on. Oddly, no details yet on global pricing. Full reviews to come (Android Authority).
