If you are planning to buy an affordable iPhone with top level performance, the iPhone SE won’t disappoint you

iPhone SE is a powerful and portable 4-inch smartphone from Apple. Although it was released in March 2016, the phone is still being bought till date. The phone is Apple’s version of a midrange device, an expensive one at that. But going with Apple’s flagship line, the iPhone SE is quite inexpensive perhaps. It features Apple Pay as well, with Visa, MasterCard and AMEX certified. Below is my iPhone SE Specs review.

iPhone SE DESIGN

It’s an iPhone, that should ring a bell. It sports Apple’s beloved logo on the back, with a very compact look. Probably too compact? The device was crafted from bead-blasted aluminium for a satin-like finish.

Thanks to its compactness, making it fit perfectly into your hand. This light smartphone weighs just 113g, measuring 7.6mm slim with matte-chamfered edges. iPhone SE is another beautiful device from Apple, available in Space Gray, Silver, Gold, Rose Gold colours.

iPhone SE DISPLAY

The 4-inch device has huge bezels, so you know how the display will be like. It boasts of 640 x 1136 pixels screen resolution and 16:9 ratio aspect ratio. With the compact discount and its 326 ppi density, the screen will be crystal sharp. Apple achieved a 60.8% screen-to-body ratio on the LED-backlit IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The SE houses the Apple A9 chipset which clocks at Dual-core 1.84 GHz Twister. The graphics processing unit is a PowerVR GT7600 with six-core graphics. For a “midrange” device, it’s quite powerful and offers maximum performance. According to the company, “the iPhone SE is the most powerful 4-inch phone ever”. For storing files, there are various versions 16/32/64/128GB and they all run smoothly with 2GB RAM. The operating system on the iPhone SE is the iOS 11.2.

CAMERA

The 12MP camera at the back with aperture f/2.2 takes beautiful images and 4K video. Features on the camera include; phase detection autofocus, dual-LED dual-tone flash, Geo-tagging, simultaneous 4K video and 8MP image recording, touch focus, face/smile detection, HDR (photo/panorama).

The Facetime HD selfie camera is a 1.2 MP with f/2.4 aperture, with Retina Flash that helps illuminate your selfies in low light.

BATTERY

Powering the iPhone SE up is a 1624mAh Non-removable battery.
