The iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever. Let's check out that power, and all the other features.

Small but perfectly formed

The iPhone SE is made for maximum portability and hand-feel comfort, thanks to its small but compact design. The Retina HD display might not be the biggest but its vibrancy and sharpness is huge!

A bionic but compact performer

The A13 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone and gives amazing performance in apps, games and photography. If you thought you were enjoying seamless performance in your current phone, just wait until you've checked out this iPhone! 

An advanced camera system

The A13 chip takes the cameras to awesome new heights. The set up includes 12-megapixel Wide camera with Portrait mode, Portrait Lighting, Depth Control, next-generation Smart HDR and 4K video. 

Superior selfies

On the other side of the phone is a 7-megapixel front camera with Portrait mode, Portrait Lighting and Depth Control 

Smart but tough

This might be a genius performer but it is also very robust. For example, check out the water and dust resistance; 1 metre for up to 30 minutes, and an IP67 rating.

A bingeworthy battery

Watch up to 13 hours of video on a single charge. And when it is time to charge up, set it down on a wireless charger or connect to an 18W fast?charge adapter to go up to 50% in 30 minutes.

A newer model iPhone SE 3rd Gen 5G 64GB was released in March 2022.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 2nd Gen (64GB, White) - Grade (Excellent) review

The SE is the little iPhone that could. With a 4in screen and the body of an iPhone 5s, it fits in my pockets better than my iPhone 6s, and it’s easier to use one-handed. But it doesn’t compromise much over its bigger, more expensive siblings.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 2nd Gen (64GB, White) - Grade (Excellent) review

Don’t write it off just because it’s smaller and looks like the iPhone 5, but be prepared to admit you may have outgrown the dated 4″ screen since Apple introduced larger displays.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 (64GB, Black) - Excellent 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 2020 (64GB, Black) - Excellent 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 2020 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

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 2020 Review - Small phone with a fast-beating heart

With the iPhone SE, Apple has released an attractive smartphone that shines with a fast processor, a... An upgraded classic. With the second generation of the iPhone SE, Apple has visually recreated the iPhone 8. While this has resulted in a - for current standards - relatively compact smartphone with a few high-end features, the screen-to-body ratio is fairly poor. Meanwhile, the low base price is another plus for the iPhone SE 2.
Pros:
  • bright, color-accurate display
  • snappy SoC
  • supports Wi-Fi 6 and a wide range of LTE frequencies
  • IP67 certification
  • wireless charging
  • lightweight and slim
  • good locating capabilities
Cons:
  • weak power adapter
  • non-expandable storage
  • poor screen-to-body ratio
  • only a single-camera
  • mediocre call quality
  • only 12 months of warranty

Apple iPhone SE 2020 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

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.
