>> Compared to the SE 2020 it replaced, the sound is amazing!

>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The battery life is truly excellent!  I wanted to wait until I had used it

>> 
>> I have had several days where I used the phone for a lot of hours, 8 or

>> 
>> 
>> 
>> A side note about the charger; when I was helping a friend with her iPhone 
>> 12 Pro purchase at the Verizon store, the MagSafe Apple wireless chargers 
>> were on sale for $30; so I got one.  They are only safe on the 12 and 13 
>> iPhones.  My friend got one as well.  It works great!  The phone charges in 
>> 2 to 3 hours from under 10% to full.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> The Lidar Sensor works quite well with Seeing AI's World channel, but they 
>> need to increase the number of objects it recognizes, which they are working 
>> on.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Super Lidar, the free app from SuperSense has a very useful feature if you 
>> travel alone and have either a way to wear the phone with the camera facing 
>> forward, or are comfortable holding it with the camera facing forward.  It 
>> identifies people, and if they have no mask, it says "Person without a mask" 
>> or something like that.
>> 
>> That kicks in when they are getting close to you.
>> 
>> In Super Lidar, the proximity sensor vibrates faster as you get nearer an 
>> object, so I could see it helping when in line at a store or somewhere, to 
>> know if the person ahead of you has moved up in the line.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> I have not taken it for a walk as yet, but while riding in a car, GoodMaps 
>> Outdoors, does a great job of keeping up with intersection announcements.  I 
>> think the processor speed may help there but I have not tried GoodMaps 
>> Outdoors on any other device.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> OCR with Voice Dream Scanner, Seeing AI, SuperSense are all excellent of 
>> course.
>>
