I put a 2010 mAh battery in my SE back in February and I get 7+ hours of screen on time on mine. The battery has been holding up pretty well haven’t had any issues and it’s still at 100% battery health. I also have the new SE 2020 and the battery life on it isn’t that great but gets me through the day just fine, I still prefer the ogSE. Here is the link to the battery I used on mine DEJI 2010mAh Battery for iPhone SE, New Super High Capacity Replacement Battery for iPhone SE with Complete Repair Tools Kit, Adhesive and Instructions https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCK13WZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_W5ZSFb75QC4TW
You should have updated to iOS 14 when you had the chance, now it's too late. iOS 15 runs smoothly, but some people are reporting stability issues even on the newest iPhones.
When iOS 15 becomes more stable with 15.1 or something, it should be safe to update. You shouldn't stay on 13, it's unsafe and it doesn't make your phone run more smoothly. "Worse battery drain" is caused by your apps and the way you use your phone, not iOS itself.
See the new features of iOS 15 on this page: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/
Awesome, I have the white 64GB.
This will be an amazing case to go with: TORRAS Hybrid Clear iPhone SE 2020 Case/iPhone 8 Case/iPhone 7 Case, [Slim Fit] Ultra Clear Hard PC Back with Soft Edges, Non-Slip Case Designed for iPhone SE 2 & 7/8, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088WZ2YJJ/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_i_44olFbKXTZAYC
It's up to you. You have to try both phones for yourself and see which one you like more, then use the other phone in other situations.
Maybe try using a different keyboard on your Realme, for example Google's Gboard to see if it works better.

I've had this one for a few months, been happy with it, zero issues with the edges pulling up or haloing. I like how the cutout for the home button is a full circle rather than the sort of "U" shape some of them have, feels better when you press it.

Unless you’re looking for a heavyduty case. I have no recommendations for bigger cases. Cases like these have always served me well. But perhaps I take care of phones better than some.
I would recommend the Mkeke clear case from amazon. It was under $10 and fits my red SE perfectly. Here is the direct link.
I think the issue is with the screen, not the actual images. I will look for some pics where it's more obvious and post here, so folks can compare to their screen(s).

Which brand did you get? I just bought the Meifigno and get it Saturday, will post back as to which chargers it works on. (Magsafe/Normal induction/Both)
There's also the Encased, DTECK, COCOING, Toro, and a handful of others. Can anyone with these chime in?
This is the one I got. I probably should have paid more for a name brand. Please do let me know if yours works when you get it.

I got this and it’s worked well for me, I got the red one but it wasn’t $36 when I bought it wtf.

I would say it probably won't but you can always get a battery case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075LM63XG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to make it through the day. I use the one I linked from amazon.

the Deji battery is fine. i replaced the iphone se battery on my se, my mother's se, and my uncle's se in March 2020 and the phones battery health is still reading 100% and performing at above 100% of OEM. After 18 months I can still watch 7 hours of Twitch on a single full charge from the Deji battery.
glad you have experience replacing iphone batteries. so you know never pierce the battery. never let the white stretchy stuff snap apart, otherwise you'll be spending hours fishing the end out.
Ha I solved this issue! I actually bought the iPhone SE (second hand) because my iPhone 7 was too quiet. On receiving the SE it had the same issue! The issue is dirt clogging it up….
I’ve sorted it out now. Basically cleaned the earpiece “slot” with one of these TePe Interdental Brushes (dipped the brush in water and shook of any excess)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0010HQUYW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_V656F8237X27BM7M3299?psc=1
After I did that, I used an alcohol swab (Cutisoft wipe is the name of the one I used) to get the rest of the debris out. Now both my iPhone 7 and iPhone SE sound very loud.
I use incipio stashback, bough 5 extra cases since they are hard to find. Amazing case, get it on amazon,1600 positive reviews. has a place to hide things, might be able to fit a thin battery there?

The moment battery case uses lightning to charge if they still sell it.
There really isn’t a lot of options for battery cases with lightning.
You honestly might be better off getting an anker portable battery pack that supports fast charging and get a short usb c to lightning cable to keep your phone charged
Something like Anker Power Bank, USB-C Portable Charger 10000mAh with 20W Power Delivery, PowerCore Slim 10000 PD for iPhone 13/13 Mini/13 Pro/13 Pro Max/12/12 Mini/12 Pro/12 Pro Max, S10, Pixel 4, and More https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08LH26PFT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WJT6G85GN7HRQ5DWFEC1
the Anker Power Core 10000 is decently small and provides plenty of power

This would be a good option new. Unfortunately even on a tip phone you’re going to need to be in the $60-75 area for one that has 4g LTE and modern modems. I see cheaper ones that are just 3g but I’d say do not buy those, the experience would be awful and even simple things like sms/mms would be miserably slow and unreliable. The one in the link here all you’d need to do is simply swap the Nano sim from your old phone to this new one and done. It is gsm carrier unlocked, meaning it will work with ANY cell provider except for Boost and Verizon
I use this case and have absolutely no problems charging wirelessly. I think as long as it mentions it’s wireless charging compatible in the description, you should be fine!
They don’t make the color I have anymore but this is the case. Mine was matte which I greatly prefer to glossy since it barely shows scratches. Whenever I have to upgrade, I’ll be getting another one of their cases. Cheap but very protective for a clumsy person like me.
I got this case and absolutely love it. Not bulky, but gives the iPhone enough of a grip that I don't worry about dropping it as much as a bare phone. I do still drop it, and it has held up marvelously through daily drops on all sorts of surfaces - concrete, tile, wood, laminate, etc. No dings on my phone at all. I paired it with an XtremeGuard screen protector (the plastic kind, as I hate glass protectors) and my phone has held up since release day with no issues at all.
You can replace the battery yourself with a kit from iFixit for around $30 (incl. tools), lots of YouTube videos. It isn't too tricky, just take your time.
Someone here posted a longer life battery on Amazon that is compatible as well.
I had an iPhone 12 mini for a few days, returned it and went back to my original SE since it's still good enough for me.
Edit: Here's a high-capacity battery on Amazon which includes the screwdrivers you'd need: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FCK13WZ/
I haven't tried this one, but am considering it if I have to replace my battery again
Do cables like these:
Charge at the same exact speed and reliability as a regular Apple cable? I like the fact these are longer cables and I can get (2) for the same price as 1 short apple cable.

iCarez worked well for my Daughter's. I bought 4 different ones out of all four, this is the only one that fit. It was easy to install and is nice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0851V5TBC/
Amazon sells refurbished iPhone XR for $379. My brother just bought one. link
Last month grocery shopping I was carrying my keys, wallet and SE in a magpul case. I do often misplace these three items at home but eventually find them. This is the first time ever but with all the groceries I managed to drop my wallet while loading the bags in the car. Luckily after about 45 minutes a good samaritan turned my wallet with everything intact to the store office and they called. I didn't have much cash but the idea of having to replace my drivers license, 2 credit and 1 debit along with my work rf card scared me enough to order this off Amazon. Took awhile to get used to but now I just have to keep track of this phone case and keys. Carries all those items I was concerned with and gives me more peace of mind. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CCK7VHJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Anker https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WRKXQ8W/ is my favorite. It's very small and IMO what the Apple should be. I did find it a local Costco bundled with a cable as well.
So far what’s worked for me isn’t a screen protector exactly but a case. The least amount of halo/rainbow effect.

Have you tried dessicant pouches? I dropped my SE in the toilet last year and ordered the pouch off of Amazon as a last ditch effort to save it. The screen had moisture behind it and everything. I powered off the phone and left it in the pouch for 48 hours and it was good as new!! This is the one I used.
Here is the case that I use. It has a good rating on Amazon and it is super easy to take on or off (which is great if you don’t to use the case all the time).
This is the one I use. It is pretty cheap and has a good rating on Amazon. It is really easy to take the phone out of the case. I use the case when I go out but I use the phone without the case when I am at home.
If you don’t mind spending more money, Apple has a smart battery case for around 100 dollars. You can find that here It says iPhone 7 on the site but it works with the iPhone 8 and iPhone SE 2020.
Here is the one I got. I haven’t used it much yet but it seems to work really well and it has a good rating on Amazon.
I got an Otterbox Symmetry series case for my 11 and it's been a great case so far. Sleek but easy to grip and it's a pretty minimalist one piece case design with a decent lip. Not as cheap as the SupCase but it's a pretty nice case and has some great ratings on Amazon.
Edit: great ratings as far as the solid colors go, the clear ones yellow easily, but you said you aren't looking for a clear one so that won't be a problem.
I just ordered this one from Amazon. It specifically states it will not cover the full screen because of the curved edges, but I don't think any protector out there will or at least does it well. I will post my thoughts when I get it.
