Our Apple iPhone SE 2020 Review

The new iPhone SE does exactly what the older model did: take the latest of Apple’s mobile chips and put it in the body of an older iPhone, creating an iPhone that smashes all other competition in the price range.

iPhone SE: Display

The iPhone SE features a 4.7-inch, HD Retina display that’s very similar to the one featured on the iPhone 8. Whilst it’s not as powerful as the OLED display found on the iPhone 11 Pro, the Retina technology is as impressive as ever, offering a stunning and colourful HD experience that you can easily fit in your pocket.

iPhone SE: Camera

The camera featured here is the same single-lens model featured on older iPhones, but includes the new technology found on modern phones. Users will be able to manage camera options like depth control, smart HDR for better shadows, portrait lighting and 4K video recording. You’ll get the same premium camera experience that you get with all iPhones.

iPhone SE: Design

If the new SE looks familiar, that’s because it’s the same design used for the iPhone 8, which Apple touts as its most popular iPhone design ever. The rounded design includes sturdy glass on the front and back with aluminium around the sides. You’ll also be able to get the phone in a number of colours, including White, Black and Red.

iPhone SE: Performance

The iPhone SE includes the same A13 chip you’ll find in the iPhone 11 Pro, making it just as fast and powerful in terms of performance. This means you won’t be missing out when running the latest apps and games, despite the mid-range budget of the phone. If you like the power of the 11 Pro but not the cost, the SE is ideal.

iPhone SE: Features

With the iPhone SE, you’ll have access to all the exclusive features that iOS provides. The best of these is the Apple App Store, which includes thousands of different apps for all walks of life. The App Store’s current highlight is Apple Arcade, a subscription service that lets you play hundreds of exclusive games that you won’t find on other platforms, all microtransaction-free. Best of all, with the A13 chip, any app you download will run faster than ever. 

How much is the iPhone SE? 

Buying the new SE from Apple outright will cost you nearly £420, meaning it’s a perfectly good option if you’re planning to buy the phone outright and pair it with a SIM-Only contract. Doing this might mean you spend more upfront but less overall compared to getting it on a contract. However, this is still a feasible option, with contracts for the SE being cheaper than those for the 11 and 11 Pro.

iPhone SE: Our Verdict

The iPhone SE sets a new standard for mid-range phones, offering a staggering level of power and usability for just a fraction of the cost compared to phones with similar performances. Those looking to enjoy the latest Apple phone with no compromises can do so with the new SE.
