The first presentation of the iPhone SE took place in March 2016. The smartphone stood out for its compactness: its screen diagonal was only 4,7”. Due to the spread of devices with a wide screen diagonal (from 5” and above), the iPhone SE quickly gained popularity. Therefore, in 2020, the developers decided to release an updated device.
The smartphone received new flagship components and more modern technologies. The new iPhone SE was released on April 15, 2020, and took a competitive position in the market not only thanks to its classic design and new capabilities, but also its attractive price of $400. Although the model is somewhat outdated, for its price it far surpasses most modern smartphones.
Design of iPhone SE 2020
The new model got the body from the iPhone 8, but became slightly smaller. The smartphone is very compact — it fits easily in your hand and sits perfectly in your pocket, unlike modern “shovels.”
The body is made of aluminum covered with tempered glass. The front part is black with an aluminum frame. The color of the frame depends on the color of the device's back cover. It is non-marking; fingerprints do not remain on the white one at all. The body has waterproof properties — this allows the device to be submerged under water for 30 minutes.
iPhone 2020 is available in white, black, and red. When purchasing the smartphone in red, all proceeds go to support the fight against coronavirus.
Specifications and communications of iPhone SE 2020
The new smartphone was equipped with the latest high-performance six-core processor A13 Bionic (2 × Lightning + 4 × Thunder). The device supports any applications, even the most demanding ones, does not lag, and handles almost any workload. With such a processor, iPhone SE definitely will not sag in performance in the next couple of years.
The device's RAM is 3 GB, and the storage capacity can be 64, 128, or 256 GB. Memory expansion is, unfortunately, not provided.
The new product was not deprived of communications either:
- Wi-Fi 6;
- Bluetooth 5.0;
- NFC module that works only with Apple Pay;
- Navigation system that works with GPS (A-GPS) and GLONASS.
The device supports Haptic Touch technology for context menus and quick actions. This makes it possible to arrange icons on the home screen in any form, view incoming messages and notifications in fast mode, play animated Live Photos frames, and so on. The Touch ID technology allows you to unlock the phone without entering a password, make and pay for purchases in the App Store and Apple Pay.
It was decided not to add a facial recognition module to the new product.
Features of the new iPhone SE 2020 lens
Most modern smartphones have dual, triple, or even quadruple cameras. Apple, on the other hand, mostly has just one lens on both sides, but of a quite acceptable level. The main camera of the iPhone SE — 12 MP with an f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization, exactly like the iPhone 11. The photos turn out high-quality, the camera focuses quickly, and the balance is well chosen.
The lens supports quick shooting, when you need to quickly pull out your phone and take a photo. Unfortunately, the new product was not given the “night mode” function, so you will have to give up taking photos in the dark.
As for video, Apple is still leading among other brands. You can shoot in 4K at 60 frames/sec. On the iPhone, it works best to record stories on Instagram — the video does not blur and is always in focus, unlike other smartphones.
There is nothing special to say about the selfie camera of the iPhone SE — standard 7 MP, with a good capture angle and various portrait effects.
