If you don't care about the Operating System, here's the breakdown:

SE is better at:
- pure performance and speed (underclocked A12)
- gaming (so smooth)
- 5 years of updates
- video quality (no contest)
- durability (IP rated water resistant)
- resale value (again, no contest)
- ergonomics if you have smaller hands (or if you don't like pocket bulges)

4a is better at:
- battery life (by a HUGE margin)
- screen clarity and size (easier to type)
- still image quality (has Night Mode)
- built-in call screening (so good at blocking Spam)
- AI features if you use them (I don't)
- ability to side-load apps like YouTube Vanced (no ads)

I have a 3a and an SE, and I use the SE as an iPod Touch and the 3a as a daily driver. I'm OS-Agnostic.
Biggest sleeper phone ever. It's amazingly fast (same chip as the iPhone 11 Pro Max), looks like your Grandpa's iPhone 7, and is cheap as hell so less heartbreak if you lose it or drop it. Battery life is mediocre is the main downside, I actually prefer LCD screens to OLED at low brightness but YMMV.

There is no other phone that will last you 5 years at $339.
This is available on cricket right now for 49$ and 60$ service with a mobile number port. You can downgrade the service cost to 30$ pm immediately after activating the phone on cricket. Use it for 6 months and get it unlocked.
So total goes for :
49$ + 60$ + 30 x 4 more months of service totaling = 230$
One can also get $25 additional referral bonus.

Quote from DanoshechkaB :
if you want flash back to 19th century, do it man Smilie))

if you get unlocked iphone xr, 11 or xs at this price then it's a deal. but this phone is not worth it. buy this phone at cricket for $110, and buy rsim15 for $10 then at $125 it's a deal.

Quote from theeaddress :
I went from S9 to this and I'm just happy to own one less Samsung product. I like the phone being smaller & pocket friendly although the software is weird with some back buttons not being thumb stretch friendly can take some getting used to. The samsung lost the music playlist function which might be a Google problem, but regardless, ALL their programs now have ads built in. I had the S4 and then had aged electronic issues so I went to a refub s7 just before the s8 came out. The S7 battery swelled and killed the phone just shy of the 2 year mark so I got a regular brand new unlocked s9 thinking my investment would last at least 5 years. My pampered S9 died just like the s7, but it made it just a few days after the 2 years of service mark, which was infuriating. The iphone is wonky with the settings being isolated to one place and outside of the program/app, but at least I have my playlists back so I can listen to my personal music collection. Phones nowadays all do the same thing, but in different ways. No matter which way you "move", it'll just be a sideways move.
Thanks a bunch for your input! I guess I'll wait and see if the 12 line of phones have a sale in the future

This is what i did.... if 2gb isn't good enough they have a 10GB plan for $5 more per month.

I rather spend $25 on the phone from cricket then $340 from Costco

At $25 are you sure it's not the gen 1 version of the phone from 2016 instead of the new 2020 gen 2 version?

I have an iPhone 6, the battery is "shot", no longer chargeable, so always on AC. Can I simply change the Sims card to the iPhone SE and nothing else? Same #, same service? Oh wait, Boostmobile (my carrier) has the iPhone SE for $250 (cheaper than this deal). Am I missing something?

Since you're already on BoostMobile, then thats a better deal. And the added bonus is that BoostMobile will unlock it after a year if you request it, so you'll end up in the same place as this deal if you want to change in the future.

Yes, used this to move my wife from her iPhone6 to this, and she has a verizon sim
