It not only competes with the SE, it was released too close to it as well. People buying the SE don't seem to be buy-every-year types (as evidenced by the fact they were holding on to their original SEs) so...yeah. Nice phone. Wrong time.
Not only that, the release schedule was just stupid. I was holding on to my SE awaiting another small phone and when the new SE wasn't small i just caved on getting a "larger" device. Had the mini been known when the SE2 was released at least I would've waited (and bought a more expensive device). And i know of other people with "small hands" that were also holding on to their old SE phones.
Sure this is entirely anecdotal but people with smaller hands that actually want to use their phone with one hand exist
I really do not like the big phones. I was very happy with my SE but it was getting a bit long in the tooth. So when they announced the SE2 which was much larger than I liked, I hestitated a bit but then bit the bullet. Ordered the 256GB version in April. It's still larger than I want, but didn't had much choice. And in October they release the phone I would have wanted.
Yeah, sorry. Not buying the 12, I already got a phone earlier the same year. Maybe the 13...
