A mobile with just a camera and the front of the iPhone 13 for 709 euros, this is the iPhone 16E. A priori, they don’t seem the best sales arguments. Apple competes against itself in a market in which the iPhone 16 It can be purchased for new for 750 euros. But what happens if we are looking for alternatives on Android?
The answer is simple: it is practically impossible to find a similar device. And it will not be because there are no good proposals in hardware, it is because 6.1 inches are a very rare exception.
The clear rival. The 16E iPhone has its negative points but, even with them, it is still a 6.1 -inch phone. If we look for Android phones with high -end processor and this size … everything is a lot. The most similar would be a Google Pixel 8aa 6.1 -inch telephone with a panel with much more brightness (2,000 nits peak) and a 90 Hz soda rate.
His G4 tensioner It is quite far in gross performance with respect to the A18 of the iPhone, but after having thoroughly tasted this device I can assure you that its performance is spectacular.
It also has an ultra wide angle of relative quality, WiFi 6E and updates for five years. Clearly, the “Android iPhone” at a groundbreaking price: 399 euros.
It is not small mobile time. High -end Android mobiles are tens, but beyond pixel 8a, not one meets the size requirement. High -end proposals in the second line, such as Samsung Galaxy S24 Fe either Xiaomi 14t They move away a lot from the 16E concept, with 6.7 -inch panels and much larger sizes.
Nor is there color in regard to processor: Apple has done something very good with this phone, and is to provide it with the same chip of the iPhone 16. This means that it is, by far, the most powerful mobile in the range of the 700 euros.
Apple keeps competing alone. Apple is, next to Google, the only company that continues to compete in high range with 6.1 inches phones. In fact, the Pixel 9 Pro He was one of the pleasant surprises of the year, since he finally put the last name “Pro” to a compact phone.
Taking into account that The iPhone 15 is the best -selling mobile in the worldabove the pro max models, it may not be a bad idea to rethink if this concept of the compact mobile (not tiny, Like the extinct iPhone 13 mini) makes more sense than ever.
What can I buy for 700 euros. Even so, if the budget is 700 euros and does not convince you the 16E iPhone (and you are willing to sacrifice size in exchange for better specs in fast charging, screen, more cameras, etc.), there are a few options that, in the moment in which we write this article, they are much cheaper.
