Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
The iPhone SE is back, though it's still just called the iPhone SE – there's no model number or "2.0" suffix here. Four years after the first "Special Edition" made its debut, Apple has once again shaken up the market with a cut-price iPhone, and we've been testing it out to see exactly where it…

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
Value may be subjective, but it’s hard to argue that the new iPhone SE doesn’t shake up what’s reasonable to expect from a smartphone in 2020. Apple’s most affordable phone is recycling refined to art, a blend of old and new with a barely-believable $400 price tag.
Pros:
- Aggressive pricing
- Latest processor and Apple's track-record of updating iOS
- Premium metal & glass construction
Cons:
- Single camera is solid but lacks features like Night Mode
- Display is small compared to other phones
- Budget for a better charger

Apple iPhone SE 2020 (256GB, Black) AU - Excellent review
It’s worth keeping in mind that the 2020 iPhone SE is not an iPhone 11. There is indeed a lot in common on the inside, but it’s not the same. But it doesn’t need to be, either. The new iPhone is a look back at something familiar from the good old days of the iPhone, and it’s one that will work quite...
Pros:
- Feels great in the hands, A "normal" sized phone, The chip and performance of the iPhone 11, Pretty solid camera, Supports Apple Pay, Water resistant, Wireless charging, TrueTone screen, Great price
Cons:
- Camera isn't as strong as iPhone 11 at night, Battery life isn't great

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
This clearly isn’t Apple’s absolute best iPhone, but it’s the best choice for many millions of users. It is Apple's least interesting iPhone in years, and simultaneously, perhaps, the most important.
Pros:
- Starts at just $399
- The A13 is faster than any other mobile processor
- Great photos and video in good light
Cons:
- No telephoto or ultrawide camera
- Battery life is just okay
- No Night Mode or Deep Fusion

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
When I reviewed the iPhone 8 , I questioned the value that phone offered, given that it was not that far off in price from Apple's new flagship at the time, the iPhone X . But the iPhone SE is a superior handset to the iPhone 8, and it costs half as much as the 8 did when I reviewed it in 2017.
Pros:
- This is a highly competitive price for an iPhone
- The fastest performance available in a smartphone today at less than half the cost of top-of-the-line iOS and Android flagships
- iOS is an effective
- secure
- and robust mobile operating system that is a great choice for most users
- The inclusion of...
Cons:
- The iPhone SE trails behind other iPhones in terms of battery life
- The design is looking a bit dated
- There's no headphone adapter included in the box
- Mediocre low-light camera performance
- Folks expecting the return of the hyper-compact
- 4-inch iPhone SE will be disappointed

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
Anyone who calls the iPhone SE a spare parts store is not wrong. Dressed in the iPhone 8 garb, looking through the glasses of the iPhone XR and doing its work with the heart of the iPhone 11, Apple has rummaged deep in its toolbox and created a powerful iPhone mix that combines not the best, but the...
Pros:
- Powerful processor
- Home Button
- Bokeh effects for both cameras
- Low price
Cons:
- Aged LCD display
- Average Portrait Mode
- Poor audio
- No expandable storage

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
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.
Pros:
- High end processor
- Low price
- Small size for the masses
- Solid battery life
- Wireless charging
- Capable rear and front cameras
- Touch ID front sensor
- $50 charge for reasonable internal storage
Cons:
- Large top bezel

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review
We're the Android Police, and Google's mobile operating system is our raison d'être, our bread and butter, the most essential and integral part of our site's very existence. Still, it doesn't exist in isolation.
Pros:
- Price $400 for these specs is pretty great
- Camera Good (but not great), especially given the price
- Performance Very, very quick — flagship fast
- Build quality This doesn't feel like a $400 phone
- IP rating Not a common feature in mid-range devices (though it should be).
Cons:
- Software We're an Android site, what did you expect? More objectively speaking, long-time Android users won't feel at home, notifications are a bad time, and iOS is still very restrictive
- Battery life Varies substantially depending on use, but it can be pretty bad if you're hard on the phone.
