Pick the Magic7 Lite if you photograph or shoot video regularly and want the better imaging pipeline of the two. The biggest gaps in its favor are wired charging, main camera, refresh rate, among others.
Pick the iPhone 16e if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are antutu, weight, pixel density, among others.
Both ship with comparable ram, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
