Its original, tiny iPhone SE is long gone, but you can still buy the 2020 reboot: the iPhone SE (2020).<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes called the iPhone SE (2nd generation), this compact phone was launched midway between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12. It\u2019s a curious mix, offering a fast processor, but a comparatively small LCD screen. While all other iPhones since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-x\">iPhone X<\/a> have followed its \u2018bezel-free\u2019 design, the iPhone SE (2020) resurrected the classic iPhone look: borders above and below the screen, and a TouchID sensor.<\/p>\n<p>Still available new, the iPhone SE (2020) is the cheapest iPhone. But is it worth it?

Inside it\u2019s an iPhone 11, with the same powerful A13 Bionic chip that\u2019s still wiping the floor with Android competitors. On the outside it\u2019s like a step back to the iPhone 8, when screens had borders, and iPhones were unlocked by touch.<\/p>\n<p>Conceived as a smaller, lower-spec alternative to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-11\">iPhone 11<\/a>, the iPhone SE (2020) skips several features found on its full-sized contemporaries. Both its front and rear cameras are more basic than the iPhone 11, while its 4.7\u201d LCD screen is very small by today\u2019s standards. The iPhone SE (2020) made sense once if you wanted a small phone, but then Apple went and introduced mini versions of the iPhone 12 and 13. Is it still worth buying now you can pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/12-mini\">refurbished iPhone 12 mini<\/a>?

Its speaker and front-facing camera live in a slender strip above the screen. Below it, there\u2019s a thicker border featuring the circular TouchID sensor, used for fingerprint recognition.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone SE still looks great, but it\u2019s impractical compared to newer iPhones. It\u2019s 7mm longer and 3mm wider than the iPhone 12 mini, yet it has only a 4.7\u201d screen - the newer phone has a much more generous 5.4\u201d display. There is one advantage of having a basic rear camera, though: there\u2019s just a single small lens on the back, rather than the ugly camera mound found on contemporary iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>With curved edges and a small footprint, this is a very comfortable phone to hold. However, there\u2019s little protection for the glass covering its screen or rear - a case is a must. The iPhone SE is water resistant to a lower standard than the iPhone 11, too - just one metre for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1617355130\/f1brpam4c7osiehiiuzv.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE (2020) Front\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1617355131\/qmimfpwltdquwpw5rr6d.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE (2020) Side\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1617355131\/ongty16cpbfmyoswklkr.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE (2020) Back\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"display\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) - display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635436786\/IMG_0009_azyoie.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone SE (2020) Display\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Without doubt, this phone\u2019s display is its single biggest weakness. While the iPhone 11 has a 6.1\u201d LCD screen, and the iPhone 12 mini a 5.4\u201d OLED, the iPhone SE makes do with a 4.7\u201d LCD panel. It\u2019s disappointingly small, and its 1,334x750 resolution falls far short of the 2,340x1,080 found in the iPhone 12 mini.<\/p>\n<p>In use, there isn\u2019t so much wrong with it, but switch to an iPhone 12 mini and you immediately notice how much bigger, brighter, crisper and dynamic it is. Delve into apps or menus and you\u2019ll notice how much more content fits on the screen. Watch a movie and you\u2019ll appreciate the newer phone\u2019s wider aspect ratio, too. For gamers and box-set bingers, the iPhone SE is just a non-starter.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"camera\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) - camera and video performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>It\u2019s a similar story when it comes to the iPhone SE\u2019s camera. While the iPhone 11 got an upgraded 12-megapixel (MP) front camera, the iPhone SE sticks with the 7MP device from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-xs\">iPhone XS<\/a>. At the rear, there\u2019s a single 12MP wide-angle camera - a significant downgrade from the dual-camera system on the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 mini.<\/p>\n<p>Apple also skimped on the iPhone SE\u2019s photo features, but it\u2019s not too bad. While it goes without Night Mode and Deep Fusion, at least the rear camera has optical image stabilisation, 4K video at up to 60 frames per second (fps), and slo-mo at up to 240fps. The front camera can\u2019t manage 4K, and tops out at 30fps for 1080p HD recording.<\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect from an iPhone, taking photos is quick and easy. Even when burst shooting the phone refuses to get bogged down, remaining responsive and helping ensure you capture the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this phone\u2019s photo quality is disappointing next to newer rivals. Its 7MP front camera is fine for selfies and Facetime, but not great otherwise. While better, its rear camera lacks the strong low-light performance we\u2019ve come to expect from modern phones, not least the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/12-mini\">iPhone 12 mini<\/a>. While you\u2019ll get a good shot most of the time, sometimes you\u2019ll be left wishing you\u2019d brought a proper camera along.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_12 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"performance\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) -

Packing the same A13 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 11, this phone gives away nothing to its contemporaries - or even much newer rivals. While the iPhone 13 packs a chip that\u2019s two generations newer, the iPhone SE can still outpace anything but newer iPhones.<\/p>\n<p>We tested its computing performance in Geekbench 5, where its single-core score was 1,332 - very few Android phones can top 1,000 in this test. It was a similar story when it came to 3D performance, relevant to games and other media apps. In the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark it scored 1,927, faster even than a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G.<\/p>\n<p>This performance does come with the drawback that it produces lots of heat. That\u2019s a problem in any phone, and more so in such a small device. After 20 minutes of Wild Life Extreme, the iPhone SE was very hot to hold. Phones prevent overheating by throttling back the processor. This one recorded a score of only 1,082 on the final loop, a huge 44% drop between its best and worst performances.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certain that the iPhone SE has plenty of power for today\u2019s apps. It\u2019s got grunt enough for demanding games, too - it\u2019s just a shame it hasn\u2019t the stamina or screen space to really do them justice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"battery\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_26 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) - battery performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Small phones rarely match their bigger rivals when it comes to battery life. Although their smaller screens are less power-hungry, there\u2019s simply less room to fit in a decent battery. Even so, the iPhone SE is disappointing. Apple says it can only play video for up to 13 hours, and it didn\u2019t even manage 10 in our test. For comparison, we got 12 hours out of the iPhone 12 mini.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s better news when it comes to recharging. For a start, the iPhone SE supports Qi wireless chargers, making it more convenient to grab a top up - for example in the car. Connected to a 20W adaptor, it charged from 0-50% in just 27 minutes, and went on to hit 80% in 58 minutes. The full charge took just over two hours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_28 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_4 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_12 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 19hr 2mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_13 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 14hrs 45mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_14 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone SE (2020) - Time = 9hrs 40mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"50.79%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"50.79%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_29 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_5 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_15 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_16 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 55mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_17 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone SE (2020) - Time = 64mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"82.8%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"82.8%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"options\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) - options and additional features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">You can find the iPhone SE in three colours - black, white and red. For about 18 months after launch you could buy it with 64GB, 128GB or 256GB of storage, but the largest model was discontinued in September 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-se-2020\">new iPhone SE (2020)<\/a> won\u2019t come with a charger or EarPods, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-se-2020\">reconditioned iPhone SE (2020)<\/a> might not either. While it had both at launch, they fell victim to Apple\u2019s October 2020 cull, intended to reduce electrical waste.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">You can accessorise the Phone SE with a huge range of cases. It works with Qi wireless charging docks, too, but it\u2019s not MagSafe compatible.

It\u2019s almost essential to use it in a case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:100;\">Other than this, the only real problem to look out for on a reconditioned iPhone SE (2020) is an ageing battery. You can check an iPhone\u2019s capacity compared to when it was new by opening the Settings app, then choosing Battery>Battery Health. Our sample still had 99% of its original battery life - modern phone batteries last for years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_21 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"verdict\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone SE (2020) - verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_22 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_39 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">There\u2019s lots to like about the iPhone SE (2020), but compare it to Apple\u2019s newer entry level phones and it comes up seriously lacking. Its screen is too small, its battery life too short, and its cameras far inferior to the best. All that\u2019s without even mentioning that it misses out on 5G, found on both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">Stick with Apple\u2019s prices and a new iPhone SE saves you about \u00a3200 over the equivalent iPhone 12 mini. Even so, it\u2019s a false economy - the iPhone 12 mini is in a different league. If you don\u2019t mind a basic screen, battery and camera, seek out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/12-mini\">refurbished iPhone SE (2020)<\/a> for much less than Apple charges.
