The Apple iPhone 12 body has the same thickness than the iPhone SE (2022), but it's heavier. Both of these phones use the same iOS 15.x operating system, so both should provide you all the same OS features.
IPhone 12 has a better looking display than iPhone SE (2022), because it has a greater screen density, a much higher 1170 x 2532 resolution, a bigger display and a really brighter display. IPhone 12's processor is just as good as the iPhone SE (2022) one, both of them have a 64-bits processing unit, a Hexa-Core processing unit and 4 GB of RAM.
The iPhone 12 shoots a bit better photographs and videos than iPhone SE (2022), and although they both have a 12 megapixels resolution back-facing camera, the same 3840x2160 video resolution and the same video frame rate, the iPhone 12 also has a bigger camera aperture to capture better low-light photos and videos.
The iPhone 12 counts with as much memory to store more games and applications as the iPhone SE (2022) one, they have equal 64 GB internal storage capacity. The iPhone 12 features a way better battery lifetime than Apple iPhone SE (2022), because it has a 39% larger battery size.

So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy iPhone 12, otherwise you can save some money and get the Apple iPhone SE (2022), resigning a couple specs and features.
