Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review

For a phone that is so affordable this really does deliver - and should give you a phone that will last you for the next 3-4 years without the need to upgrade.
Pros:
  • Affordable price but flagship specification
  • Small size has its charms
  • Decent camera performance
  • Water-resistant design
Cons:
  • 2017 design shows with large top/bottom bezel
  • Limited battery - and no fast-charger in the box
  • No Face ID - it's Touch ID only
  • No Night Mode

  • At $399/£419 this is an excellent buy
  • Flagship performance should keep this speedy for years
  • Great photos in daylight situations
  • Impressive video capabilities
  • Offers a strong proposition for those who don’t want big phones

The iPhone SE (2020) comes in at a price tag that in Apple world has to count as a bargain; to be honest, if an Android offered this performance for £419/$399 we'd be calling it superb value for money.

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review

While it may lack the design clout of more recent iPhones and is missing creature comforts such as an OLED display and Face ID, the iPhone SE 2020 is world-class in almost every other regard, and the fact that it can be purchased for £400 is nothing less than amazing.

Apple iPhone SE 256GB Black MXVT2X/A review

This is the phone to get if you just want a new iPhone that will last you a few years, but don’t want to pay a lot for it. The iPhone SE 2020 offers ‘decent but not top-end’ performance: a good camera, enough power, a great App Store to plunder and a lighter iPhone than recent models.
Pros:
  • Lightweight frame
  • Low price for iPhone
  • Powerful chipset
Cons:
  • Battery life could be better
  • Old screen technology
  • No headphone jack
