iPhone SE (2020) - Unboxing & Impressions - Who Should Buy This? By Chris Spice

The iPhone SE is one of the most talked about phones of the year and that's the sentence. I didn't see myself saying in 2020, regardless. This is Apple's budget offering coming in at $399 or 412 pounds, and this is quite a big deal. Coming from a company have just released a keyboard case for 300 quid I've been using the phone for a couple of days now. So let's get straight into the unboxing their going to go through some specs and my thoughts. We still get that premium.

Apple unboxing experience here of their round an iPhone 8, but it could be the exact same box which should definitely keep costs down. After that's, satisfying peeling off the packaging, we open the box, and we have the familiar manuals. The device itself which we'll come to later, the included wired headphones and a 5 watt charger. That's still using lightning real Apple. The first time I held the iPhone SE I was in awe of how small it was, and that's quite surprising, concerning it's like a three to four-year-old design.

But honestly, if phones are still this small and has all the modern features that we used to I, don't think I'll be complaining in reality, though, phones are getting bigger to fit in those big batteries and multi camera modules, but I do think this phone is gonna, be proof that people don't need all of that olden time. It's also quite light coming in at 148 grams. The only issue of that design is that most of the front is taken up by these enormous bezels which we're really not used to in 2020. At the moment, the screen comes in at 4.7 inches and is a 750 P display, which is technically not full, HD, and I'm, going to be honest, I thought I'd be disappointed when coming from the galaxy s 20 plus and which is a full HD screen and can actually go up to 4k, but for a screen this size I think 750. P is enough and honestly after using it for a couple of days, I haven't really noticed a drop in quality at all.

The only thing I have noticed is, while using the Samsung I've been using the 120 Hertz display and on the iPhone, we're locked at 60 Hertz. That lack of 120, Hertz or 98 is the biggest difference, in my opinion, between some of the latest flagships and the iPhone screen, but I don't think people who be buying this would have used the phone for a long period of time of 120 or 90 Hertz, and so they won't really notice the difference on the back. We have just one camera, and it's a 12 megapixel wide camera. Some thoughts on where this came from some people say that life Rednecks are some people say it's the iPhone 8 camera, but because its old hardware, don't let this fool you into thinking. It's a subpar camera.

This is still very much an iPhone quality. Camera photos are sharp dynamic ranges. Excellent and colors are very true to life and actually come in from my Galaxy S 20 plus I preferred some photos from the iPhone just because the colors were a bit more accurate. Sometimes the Samsung would make the sky look blue when it wasn't or make photos too, vibrant, and so I want to get into more detail on this on a camera comparison between the iPhone SE and the Samsung Galaxy s, 20 plus. Obviously it's a foreign $2 phone versus $1000 phone and I think you'll be surprised at the results.

So, if you're looking forward to seeing that then hit thumbs up down below and subscribe for a notification when it comes out in terms of video, we still get 4k 60, which is great, and the quality is top-notch some of the best 4k we've seen and the phone, especially for a four hundred quid phone stabilization is very good. I do miss the ultra-wide tho portrait mode is still here and works flawlessly, and if the back camera and the front camera, but unfortunately limited to people as this phone doesn't use portrait mode on objects and talking about that front, camera there's no face ID here, but they have talked about the touch ID, which personally I prefer. But I don't understand. If they're going to keep these huge bezels, then why can't they just put a face ID sensor in there to give people the option I'll be speaking in more depth about the cameras in my full review, which should be coming out in a week or twos time, but in the meantime, you've seen my comparison between the iPhone SE camera and the Samsung S 20 camera. The main selling point of this phone, though, is that a 13 Barack chip, which has come straight from the iPhone 11, and it makes this phone run snappy as hell.

It also helps to process those images from a perhaps an old camera module, which is what makes them so good. An iOS 13 runs smoothly on it, and you can probably expect it to run smoothly on there for the next couple of years, but in a couple of years time will this phone still be good value here in UK at least phone contracts last about two years, and so most people that buy new phones always try and find the latest model, not necessarily the latest flagship, but maybe the latest mid-range model, and so after that, two years the phone is only just sort of getting dated, but in 2020 brand new. This phone already has a free to four-year-old design with those huge bezels. It already has a lack of camera options, and it already has a 60 Hertz screen, which in two years time or maybe one year time, is going to be not acceptable in any phone. So right now in 2020, who is this phone for? Well? If we look at the competition in Android, we do have a lot of around $400 options which all have their advantages.

The Pixel 3a has an awesome camera, but maybe not the best performance for 2020 Samsung has the galaxy, a range which is not talked about nearly enough and at the moment they have that a 71 going for cheaper than your iPhone SE comes in with a bezel loose a mallard screen. It comes in with 4,500 million per hour battery, and it comes in with four cameras on the back, but is that Snapdragon 730 processor, going to last the whole two years I need time will tell? And if you're looking for a good high refresh rate screen, there are also cheaper phones from real me. So where does the iPhone SE 20/20 fit in? Well, it's an iPhone. Until now, the only way to get into the iPhone space as a consumer looking for a mid-range phone was that perhaps by an older model and the disadvantage of this is it might not last the test of time, and this is where the iPhone SE comes in. It sits at that mid-range price, and it's for people who want an iPhone, but don't care about bezel displays or multiple cameras or face ID, or things like in display fingerprint scanners.

So now the buyers who would have perhaps gone out and bought an Android phone because it's cheaper, and they couldn't afford an iPhone, even though they perhaps wanted one I've got an option and that's: what's going to make this phone fly off the shelves, so don't forget other full review coming up in a week or twos time, as well as a bit of fun, a comparison between the iPhone SE camera and the camera on the Samsung Galaxy s 20 plus. So that's a $400 phone versus a thousand dollar phone camera test, but I think you might be surprised at the results. So if you're looking forward to seeing either of those, then give me a thumbs up down below and subscribe to be notified when they come out. That's it from me. Thanks for watching, and I'll see the next one.
