Apple's newest iPhone, the iPhone SE, isn't the new hotness and it's not meant to be.

A couple of years ago the Apple iPhone X restored my joy in smartphones and a lot of that had to do with the small size and extremely responsive performance of the phone. I went through the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR before choosing to stick with the iPhone XS and then moved onto the iPhone 11 Pro.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the latest smartphone from Apple . The device stands in-between the iPhone 11 of 2019 and the iPhone 8 of 2017 . First, it comes in the body of iPhone 8, but has the powerful CPU used in the iPhone 11 . So the screen is a 4.7-inch display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution.

The 16:9 display works well for watching video and, speaking of that, it’s great to view a screen without a notch.

Amazingly fast processor; Solid camera; Great fit in the hand

NEW DELHI: Is it the smaller iPhone? Is it the cheaper iPhone? We would argue it’s neither. The Apple iPhone SE is another iPhone, sure, but it’s small because other phones are too big and it’s cheap because other iPhones are too expensive.

The Apple iPhone SE prices start at Rs 42,500 and that is before you take advantage of an HDFC Bank cashback offer which brings the effective price down to Rs 38,900.

This 4-inch smartphone may be smaller than most, but don't underestimate it....

In playback, the iPhone SE (2020) delivers a good overall performance, with precise attack, few artifacts, and well-balanced midrange and treble frequencies.
