Still prefer the SE for pocket-size and 3.5mm headset jack....
Seven has been the most rugged, and the X. feels enormous... but will be great for reading long(er) stuff. A protective case is gunna be an arm & leg...
SE had the best case, yet rarely fell out / dropped, the 7 in a 'folder' case proved more adventurous, (One protective glass but no new image-Screen).... this one will need a dedicated belt-box. Battery is $$s. enough, dontwannaknow about a screen replace !

I've got an Iphone13 which is eSim compatible. I think dual sim features will be obsolute very shortly with eSim functions.

Yes, eSim has made life easier.

I run 2 eSim and a physical Sim. The Physical is my telstra account, the remaining 2 are -Singtel and AIS. As i travel to Singapore and Thailand regularly I just activate each one when i land.
