Apple has silently released a successor to the iPhone SE that launched way back in 2016. The new and most affordable handset is just called the iPhone SE(2020) and it sure does pack quite the punch for its $399 price tag.
Just like the leaks predicted a few days back, Apple made a press release on its official newsroom revealing the phone in all its glory. The SE series of iPhones is aimed at budget consumers and this one is by far the most affordable one right now in Apple’s current portfolio.
Apple iPhone SE 2020 Specifications
It packs Apple’s latest flagship A13 bionic processor which has an 8-core Neural Engine for faster computations of 5 trillion operations per second. The design language is similar to the iPhone 8 as Apple continues its 2016 legacy of compact design. The iPhone SE 2020 has a 4.7 inch HD display with a resolution just above 720p but Apple has said that it supports both Dolby vision and HDR10. The home button with Touch ID has made a comeback and it retains the good old haptic touch with animating live photos, previewing messages, and more.
The optics of the iPhone SE are pretty similar to the iPhone 8 with a 12MP f1/1.8 sensor which has the capability of recording videos at 4K resolution with 60 frames per second. Apple claims the neural engine of this processor can unlock better computational photography including portrait mode(Object focus) and depth control. As for the front camera its a 7MP camera that can do portrait mode of fixed subject focus. These are something that has to be seen only during our testing. As for connectivity, it supports Wifi 6, Gigabit LTE and comes with a dual SIM functionality though the second SIM seems to be an eSIM.
