Hello, So, I am planning to buy it a smartphone for under $550, but what should I have? I'm trying to find a phone good for gaming, and a good quality camera for photos and videos. Ifyou guys have any suggestions, I'd love tohear it. For now, I'm planning to go for a Samsung A8, but is it worth the money? Please let me know Thanks  |

If you value performance over design, anything that isnt Apple.
Im personally looking at some Huawei phones.

For the same price as an iPhone SE you get:- Bigger screen (if thats what you want) - Higher resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels VS 640 x 1136 pixels) - Higher pixels per inch (yes, even with a bigger screen that resolution change really is something) - Bigger screen to body ratio (again, if thats what you want) (70% VS 60%) - Higher resolution camera (20 MPixels VS 12 MPixels for back camera, 8MPixels VS 1.2MPixels for front camera) - Stronger CPU (Octa-core 2.2GHz VS Dual-core 1.8GHz) - More RAM (3GB VS 2GB) - Larger battery (3100mAh VS 1600mAh) Sadly, the phone weighs almost twice as much, so thats a negative i guess. Also, worse "reliability & security", not that Apple phones are very secure anyways. |

The other points are perfectly valid though. |

The other points are perfectly valid though. I own an iPhone SE (for personal usage, not work) and it is awful. I absolutely love small form factors. However, it's not practical. The iPhone SE and iOS do not play nice with each other. Apple does not care for the iPhone SE and some features just do not work. For example, charging with a genuine cable still bugs out the phone. I contacted Apple Support and they said "officially nothing is wrong" yet they told me "unofficially you should upgrade". I honestly liked my iPhone 5 more than the iPhone SE. |

The reason for your iPhone SE being awful is because it’s an iPhone 6 inside the model of an iPhone 5. Apple have crammed everything into the SE to make it fast but they’ve made something against that. |
