Camera

The SE camera is one of the rarest Apple technological additions with portrait modes and lighting. It’s a wide-angle camera that has an up to 28mm focal length coverage compared to the usual 26mm. Also, when it comes to sharpness, coloration, and photodynamic, it is nothing compared to the original SE iPhone version. However, the SE is not suitable for those who use their phones as their primary camera.

This is because the phone has no night mode due to a lack of optical stabilization in its rear camera, unlike iPhone 11 pro. However, for those into video recordings, it might interest you to know that it’s 4K videos are available in up to 60 frames per second with other options, including 1080p and 720p with 24 and 30 frames, respectively.

Apple’s Bionic Chip-set

The iPhone SE 2020 has an A13 Bionic chipset that is an upgrade from iPhone 8 to run the show. Therefore, the phone can rival out iPhone 11. This is because it is faster when it comes to flipping in between apps, photo editing, video recording, and ultimately the camera is superb.

Well, strategic or not, Apple seems to have put its best foot forward in terms of the phone’s performance features and priced it affordably to suit today’s economic regression market crisis. It is even legit to say that the iPhone SE has somehow matched iPhone 11 pro max in terms of video compression speeds.

Display and Design

iPhone SE shares the same screen display design as iPhone 8, 2017. We can only assume that Apple decided to use cheaper hardware to maintain the phone’s affordability. It can be assumed that Apple did not put in lots of funds in the iPhone SE’s manufacturing process.

The chunky bezels used on the phone’s 4.7-inch screen have been used on Apple phones before. Unfortunately, the more Apple advanced its phones, the more the bezels continued to disappear. This has left most Apple phones weighing a lot more due to premium aluminum insides.

Therefore, this new lightweight development is hope that Apple has decided to take weight into consideration during its phone manufacturing process. Anyone who has owned an iPhone 11 pro will quickly tell the difference. Still, unfortunately, those upgrading from the first iPhone SE will have little to no difference in terms of comparison.

There is a wave of familiarity swept around the new iPhone SE 2020. Basically, it carries most of its features from the iPhone 8. Therefore, for those individuals who have little to no interest in technological advancements, choosing to stay within the walls of familiarity, the iPhone SE couldn’t be a better choice.

The original iPhone SE with a 4-inch screen and home button that you could actually click is less useful for today’s use. This is especially considering the so many valuable apps requiring extra display on the Apple store today. Therefore, the 4.7 inch LCD screen with a button that only imitates clicks through vibration is ultimately the best choice for the phone market today.

Well, it seems like the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone and forgotten. No handsets are being launched in the present day with the port. And if it is any comfort to those using phones from some time back, you could always go for the wireless earbuds. These use a lightening connect the 3.5mmheadphone jack successfully wholly.

The OLED, the iPhone SE 2020, is not the fanciest. But given the target buyers are minimalist, they should be Apple to appreciate its features. The only nagging downer about the phone everyone would rather do not exist is the brightness of the display. But you know how it goes, a brighter screen means shorter battery life and the latter is also true.

Difference between iPhone XR and iPhone SE 2020 

The iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch LCD Retina HD screen w 1,334 x 750 resolution Apple iPhone XR has a better resolution of 828 x 1792 than Apple iPhone SE 2020, which has a resolution of 1334 x 750. Both have the same amount of internal memory and 3GB RAM

Apple iPhone XR has a better screen to body ratio of ~ 79% than Apple iPhone SE 2020s ~ 65.4%. Apple iPhone SE 2020 has a 16:9 aspect ratio, whereas Apple iPhone XR has a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. In terms of display resolution,

Battery

Although Apple prefers to withhold the battery size until the iPhone hits the market. There have been lots of speculations on whether they will adopt something in between the iPhone 8 and the original iPhone. In case this happens, the phone’s battery will only be suitable for a day’s use. This means that you might always have to have your charger close. The only positive thing out of the whole situation is that the phone can support cable-less charging.

IOS 13.4 is an excellent power manager when it comes to consumption. Ultimately bringing some logic into Apple’s assumption that the iPhone SE’s battery life is the same as that of iPhone 8. And if so, then the phone’s battery life is only less 2 to 4 hours than iPhone 11.

The iPhone SE feels more like a missed chance for Apple to build on the original iPhone SE features. In fact, what is in the market as the new iPhone SE 2020 is more of a throwback version of the SE iPhone version. Only that it possesses more superior qualities that liken it to both iPhones 11 pro and 8.

There are only two ways of caring the battery life issues. Grab yourself a wireless charger you can use to charge on your car during emergencies. Alternatively, get yourself a faster, efficient charger of about 18W, preferably the iPhone 11 Pro, which you can obtain for $29 extra.

Connectivity

The Apple SE belongs to the same Gigabit-class LTE with LTE LAA and MIMO, as well as bandwidth with all the other Apple phone versions. It supports dual Sim with selected carriers in different countries. Also, it supports Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 6, GPS, and NFC.

Conclusion

Buy the iPhone SE only if you are looking for an iPhone that will give you great value for less money. You can use the phone for over five years in its maximum performance with no hitches whatsoever plus its light to carry around. However, if you are looking for the superb iPhone quality sort of photos, you had better pass the phone for an iPhone 11. Also, it has a shorter battery life and lacks screen sharpness, which limits its suitability for use on the go.

Depending on what qualities an interested buyer is looking for in an Apple phone, we can only trust that they will make a choice favorable to their pocket as well as in terms of usability.
