Buying advice for Algeria

Both Apple iPhone SE (2020) and Apple iPhone SE (2022) are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Apple iPhone SE (2020) is 19% cheaper at 26,000 DZD versus 32,000 DZD for the Apple iPhone SE (2022), leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.

Apple iPhone SE (2022) packs a 2018 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

At this price you should expect 4G across Algerian networks (Mobilis, Djezzy, Ooredoo) and basic 60-90Hz screens.
