This is what the Android Mid-strain mobiles should learn and avoid the iPhone 16th

A few days ago, Apple announced in Europe and in other markets the iPhone 16th, A new mobile that came to replace the already experienced iPhone. However, it would not be a replacement for use, but a new mobile that would share the nomenclature with the most recent models, but with a somewhat lower price. Although not much.

This device We expected it to be the new iPhone SE 2025, but Apple decided to give it a radical change And, moreover, up to 709 dollars in Europe. This sometimes does not make it recommended, at least as long as the offers are seen around 500 dollars. However, it is always the cheapest iPhone, and this will always guarantee sales accounts, at least on markets such as the United States.

However, beyond the price We have seen some Apple decisions that are appreciated as correctAnd that many brands could copy. Of course, being always clear that The price of this mobile should be much lower. Much more. But Apple has always been characterized by looking for very bulky margins.

Leaving aside the subject of the cost, the new iPhone 16th shows us a series of manufacturing and design decisions that seem They could help intermediate Android mobiles between 300 and 500 dollarsThey were something better. However, there are also decisions that should be avoided, of course.

60 Hz screen. It was clear that Apple’s new mobile was not going to have a screen with a high soda rate because neither the iPhone 16 nor the iPhone 16 Plus have it. And this is not a failure. The majority of users who will buy this model do not care at all.

In addition, the 120 Hz panels that are used in entry or medium range mobiles are not LTPO, so the battery lasts less than if we had mobile phones with a 60 Hz screen.

Unique camera. Seeing only one Android mobile camera is something extraordinarily rare. Not in the middle or high end, but even among the most basic models. Manufacturers know that several times users are swept away by the number of cameras, and that is why they even use conceptions with elements that simulate sensors when they are not.

However, Apple’s decision is correct because it has opted for a very good main camera that can be unobaled as a zoom of optical quality, which is not an optical zoom but is used to take photos of high quality portrait, which is for what most people want a zoom.

We don't have an ultra wide angle, and it's a clear lack. However, in most mobiles at average prices, the quality of these sensors leaves a lot to be desired. Even the Oppo Find N5, the last folding of the company, uses a wide angle of 8 Mpx whose results are improved.

Compact design. By clearly showing that the smart motives are not small, it must be recognized that this new iPhone remains supposed in size. Yes, there are 6.1 inches, as well as a Samsung Galaxy S25, but if we look at the rest of the markets on the market, we will see that it is practically the slightest diagonal that we can find.

People want large mobiles to see multimedia content, photos or games, but also want small mobiles that can be transported in a simple way. This is what the mobiles of this size combine. In addition, the weight is maintained, which is always positive.

Wireless load. It draws a lot of attention that Android mobile brands have not bet more on the wireless load and their advertising. This is something that is very comfortable once you have used it.

Apple has implemented the load without cables in this model, but surprisingly not Magsafe, so that the images of the compatible chargers will not be used in this model. You can surely buy covers that allow this type of load because we have seen that they make brands such as Samsung and OnePlus in the high range, but at least they include the induction coil necessary for the load without cables.

Eliminar algunos elementos singulares. Este iPhone prescinde de elementos de sus hermanos mayores, como el botón de control de cámara. Es algo que permite bajar el precio y que, de nuevo, la mayoría de usuarios no va a valorar mucho. Sí que mantiene el botón de acción. Esta estrategia de saber qué mantener y qué quitar, en función del uso de la mayoría de usuarios, es algo que las marcas también deberían implementar, haciendo más sencilla la fabricación de los móviles y, con suerte, más barata.

Malas decisiones. Con todo, hay cosas del iPhone 16e que no habría que copiar, además de su estrategia de precios. Por ejemplo, la pantalla tiene un brillo medio máximo de 800 nits, muy por debajo de lo que se ve actualmente en la gama media de Android, y algo que se aprecia mucho en situaciones de mucha luz solar. La memoria interna, de 128 GB, se antoja muy escasa para un móvil no ya de 700 dollars, sino también de unos de 500 dollars.
