Apple has unveiled the new iPhone SE this year. The audience reacted very controversially to its release - low performance, weak camera. Should you buy such a phone in 2020, or is it better to give it up?
Design
The 2020 iPhone SE was completely copied from the iPhone 8 in terms of design, just like the SE was copied from the 5S. The body of the smartphone is rather outdated by today's standards, but this is not at all a disadvantage. Many users still prefer the fingerprint scanner to face recognition.
The problems of the iPhone 8 in terms of the case persist here. The glass back panel is quite easily soiled and fragile - even if dropped from a low height, the glass is likely to crack.
The dimensions of the case have not changed at all and are completely identical to the iPhone 8 - 138 × 67 × 7, 3 mm. It fits just as well in the hand. He did not become easier, but it is worth noting that the hand does not get tired of long-term work with him.
There are only three color options for the case - white, black and red.
Camera
Only one lens is presented as the main camera. It has 12MP and ƒ / 1.8 aperture. This means that there is no wide-angle camera, and in general, the quality of photos will compete with the inexpensive phones of 2017.
Yes, there is really good detail here. There is good macro photography, you can take good photos.
But you can only compare it with the flagships of 2017. There is a little noise in night photos, but the lights do not shine, there are no toxic colors, and this is a definite plus. Still, the quality of night shooting is not comparable to the price. The cost of the iPhone SE varies from 44 to 45 thousand rubles.
The Honor 8A was released in 2017. At the moment it costs 8 thousand rubles.
The camera is slightly less optimized, there are toxic yellow colors due to the lights, but in general, the result is not much behind the iPhone SE 2020. The difference between them is almost 35 thousand and 2 years.
Movies on the iPhone SE can be shot in 4K at 30 FPS. Here - the opposite situation - it is worth noting the high quality of the video, despite the only 12 megapixel lens. The quality and stabilization are so good that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between the SE and the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The front camera has 7 MP. The difference between SE and iPhone 11 is also surprisingly minimal.
Specifications
The 2020 iPhone SE is powered by a six-core Apple A13 Bionic SoC and a third-generation Neural Engine. An important detail is that there is no memory card slot - only internal (64/128/256 GB).
The 2020 iPhone SE has a 1,700mAh battery, which is incredibly small. The device will need to be charged several times a day. Fun fact, but Apple previously published this information on the product page in the official store. Now you can't find information about the battery. Only about wireless charging.
