Apple has finally launched the 2nd Gen iPhone SE ( 2020 Edition ) worldwide. This is currently the cheapest iPhone powered by the A13 Bionic chip which also powers top-end iPhone 11 Pro Max. It is priced at $399 for the base model, making it tempting to pre-order one when it goes live.
Is it worth buying an iPhone SE 2020? Let's check out the Cons and Pros.
Reasons to buy iPhone SE 2nd Gen
- A13 Bionic Chip - the fastest chipset you can get in a smartphone
- 4K @ 30fps - many high-end Android smartphones still struggle to implement this ( For eg: Google Pixel 4 )
- iOS 13 and future software updates for years to come and Apple sends them much faster comparing to Android OEMs
- Small and Compact design - Easy to carry around in the pocket unlike iPhone 11 Pro max and those bulky newer 6.5+ inch Android phones
- Touch ID Sensor - for those who own older iPhones would love to have this Home button back.
- Wireless charging - that's a rarity to see in a $399 smartphone
- IP67 Water and Dust Resistant - there is hardly any Android phone in this price range offer that.
- 12MP Main Camera with Smart HDR and Computational Photography features similar to what we see on Google Pixel phones and iPhone 11 Series
Reasons Not to Buy an iPhone SE 2020
- Almost all Android Smartphones in this price range offer multiple cameras at the back. There is only one camera at the back of the iPhone SE which is disappointing to see.
- Older Design - some love it, some hate it - especially if you have used a bezel-less Android smartphone, you would find it not so good to look at.
- HD screen only - like the iPhone XR launched a while back, there is no Full HD resolution available.
- 7MP front camera with F2.2 aperture lens - Don't expect exceptional selfies from this.
Who is this 2020 iPhone SE made for?
This is 100% made for those people who have been using older iPhones - SE, iPhone 6, 7 and 8. Switching from those older iPhones to newer SE would be an easy transition thanks to the familiar design and User Experience.
