| ![]() Is it still a good decision to get the iPhone 5S in spite of it being around for almost 4+ years now? I understand that iOS 11 will be the last update the phone will get but as a secondary phone, it should suffice. Please pour in your advice. |

I think you should go in for the SE. The processor on the SE is 2 generations ahead. Also the camera is a 12mp sensor same as the 6s. Though the form factor and screen are the same as the 5s I think it would last you for a longer time compared to a 5s. There are good deals going on and you should be able to get the 32gb version for 20-21k. Even for a secondary phone 16gb is too low I would recommend the 32gb. If you don't wish to spend 20k on a secondary phone better go in for an Android like a moto G5 rather than going for a 4 year old iphone. Just ny thoughts. |

I am currently using the 5S as well as the SE. To be honest, 5S is getting slower day by day and I think in the next six months it may become super slow, although I do not store photos, videos or lot of apps in it. SE on the other hand is fairly new (although more than a year old in the market) but still runs a lot better. I think for a matter for few thousand rupees, stay away from 5S as it is outdated and go for the SE, eyes closed. If 20-21 K sounds too much, as mentioned by ToyotaFan, android is the way to go. | |

| ![]() Finally ordered the iPhone SE 32GB from Amazon for 19999/-. Great value for money for a sub 20K phone. I also ordered this case from Paytm. https://paytmmall.com/shop/p/spigen-...G245644B27BFA8 |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() The tempered glass for 7+ works good, but in 7, most tempered I have tried start to have bubbles. I believe it is because of the [slight] curvy nature of the screen on edges. Any tempered glass recommendation? How would this be? http://www.amazon.in/Nillkin-Tempere...A342V1ORQ79I2B |
