Given this $200 Android phone has far greater capabilities, power &
functionality than any iPhone ever sold, the article realistically asks how
a chronically underpowered less functional overpriced SE can compete.

As Nothing launches its $199 budget Android phone with tons of RAM and a
120Hz display, it's high time Apple's iPhone SE found a way to compete

 "The iPhone SE is looking older by the day"

"The display is a huge 6.67-inch Super AMOLED offering that has a 2,000-nit
peak brightness and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. That's iPhone 15
Pro-like buttery-smooth and a huge improvement over anything the iPhone SE
could even dream of."

"There's a pretty nondescript Mediatek Dimensity 7300 chip inside, but it's
paired with 8GB of RAM plus an "8GB RAM booster," whatever that means. But
over at the Apple Store, you'll need to buy an iPhone 15 Pro to get 8GB of
RAM."

The 33W fast charging is more than the iPhone too.

"The specs continue with a 50-megapixel Sony camera around the back and a
16-megapixel camera up front while a 5,000mAh battery means you won't run
for the charger too often."

"If Apple really does want to stick to a price point of around $400, it
could at least sell an iPhone that doesn't look like it came from 2016 with
similarly outdated features."

8-core MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, a 6.67-inch Super AMOLED
display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a 50MP main camera sensor
developed by Sony. There's also a 5,000mAh battery and 8GB of RAM. 

They didn't give full specs so I looked here.
