iPhone SE - Review

SCREEN SIZE AND DISPLAY - 

The brand new iPhone SE. It has a 4.7 inch LCD display with true tone to make the colors change depending on the light and it's a really good display. It also has these huge bezels on the top and bottom and there is a classic home button on the bottom with a fingerprint sensor.It's compatible with iPhone 8 cases. It's IP67 water proof, which is not the best, but it's pretty good. Overall, this thing is just really solid and it's really familiar from the glass back to the fingerprint sensor to the package.Apple is just keeping things the same that it's always been here like the size. It's 4.7 inches, it's small, but it's not nearly as small as this, the original iPhone SE. Whereas this thing is basically not that much smaller than iPhone 11 Pro.

NO HEADPHONE JACK 😒😒-

Actually, there is a thing to gripe about and that is that there's no headphone jack on this phone , But at this price point, a bunch of Android phones do manage to hang on to the headphone jack to be clear. So it is a little bit of a bummer here. At least Apple is including Wired Lightning headphones, it's just not including a headphone 3.5 adapter. 

                                              PROCESSOR AND BATTERY LIFE - 

 Now the reason this phone is really impressive is that inside it has the exact same processor as the iPhone 11 Pro. It's the A13 Bionic. That means this phone is really fast, sure, but the real reason it matters is that it means this phone is sure to get OS updates from many years to come. Now there may be other Android phones that cost the same, 40000 rs, but it's not really about that cost, it's about how often you have to spend it. And with this iPhone, you're not gonna have to spend it for a very long time. Having a  modern processor would mean that battery life would be about as good as on the iPhone 11 Pro, but it's not quite. It's still very good, don't get me wrong . it has wireless charging though, which makes the average battery life a little bit easier to deal with.

                                                 CAMERA AND VIDEO QUALITY -

So let's talk about camera. There's just one on the back. It's 12 megapixels and there is a seven megapixel selfie camera on the front .In bright lighting conditions, it's kind of lovely. Photos are well detailed, they're color accurate and they're sharp. In good light, it is almost hard to tell the difference between this phone and a thousand dollar iPhone 11 Pro. It does some other stuff with new portrait effects and so on because it has that A13 Bionic chip, but it's still hit and miss with portrait mode because you know, you lose something when you save this much money. So for example, low light is, it's not great. There's no night mode for one thing and for another, when it's really dim light, I feel like the software just kind of panics and over corrects and introduces a bunch of artifacts that didn't need to be there. If you're coming from an OG iPhone SE or an iPhone 6 or even iPhone 7, you're still gonna see a huge improvement & Pixel 3a and the upcoming Pixel 4a are probably gonna be able to beat this thing in low light, but they will not beat it at video where the iPhone SE completely punches above it's weight class. 

 

IS THIS PHONE WORTH BUYING ?

other than low light photography, we are able to do all the same things that we do on those thousand dollar phones on this Rs 42,500 phone. Now if I were buying the SE, I would probably spend the extra 4500 rs to get a 128 gigs of storage instead of 64gigs. it's a good upgrade if you want this phone to last three or four or maybe even five years. And that time span is why the iPhone SE is a big deal. No other phone for less than 50,000 can promise that it's going to be this good or that it's going to last that long. And beyond that, the iPhone SE, it isn't just a good deal, it's a really good phone.
