iPhone SE 2020 vs iPhone X - Which $399 iPhone should you buy in 2020? By BubVisuals

So, this is the iPhone SE 2020. It was the newest budget offering that I actually took a look at a couple of weeks ago, and I really liked it. I thought it was a great value fun for people who wanted to get a new iPhone without breaking the bank, and this is my personal Old Faithful iPhone tab. This has been my personal phone for the longest time now and at this point you can get it for around $400 and seeing us quite a few of you have actually requested this video I think it's time to find out which of these two phones, you should buy in 2020, let's find out. First, we're going to be starting, as we usually do by taking a look at the specs. Now there are some areas where these two phones are actually pretty similar with both actually featuring the same three gigabytes of RAM.

However, there are also some areas where these phones are radically different, such as the processor. The SE features the 13 Bionic processor, which is actually the same process, is used in the highest end, current iPhone, which is kinda crazy, whereas the elephant 10 has the 11 Bionic processor. Now because of that process it there are, of course, going to be some differences in performance. However, not significantly, as there were been the often eleven series used. This processor doesn't make a difference there nonetheless- and we are gonna- be talking about that in more detail later on, as I previously said, both phones feature three gigabytes of RAM and multiple storage options, the iPhone SE having 64 128 and 256 gigabytes storage options, whereas on the iPhone 10, it still has that 64 and 256 gigabyte options, but it's missing that middle ground.

Now me personally, I've both these fences, 64 gigs and I personally never even get close to filling that up, but it's a good option. Nonetheless, in terms of weight, the earth intent weighs in at a pretty heavy 174 grams, whereas the iPhone SE weighs in much light a hundred and forty-eight grams, and this is a noticeable drop. My usage I've never personally found the iPhone tend to be too heavy, in fact, I personally quite liked the added weight I just think it makes you feel a little more premium in my opinion, but if you want a light phone, the 10 is probably not a good option. As for the key specs, except the screen, because that gets a turn section later, that's pretty much it, honestly. I do have to give the winter the SE here I mean the 813 up grid is just so significant but said we are going to be talking in more detail about how each of these phones performs later on.

So guess we'll find out how much of a difference it really made in terms of build quality, despite the difference in appearance absolutely pretty similar, both phones featuring black spike metal sides, where the SE having aluminum sites and the ten having steel sides, which I personally preferred you to that added weight, as I said, I just think it feels a bit more premium, but it's also featured that ip67 water resistance rating, which means that both are rated to survivor up to 13 minutes in up to a meter of water, and this is a pretty useful. Fail safe. I've definitely used this a couple of times now, all in all, very similar and honestly. This is both a pro and a con, it's good because they both feel really nice and premium, but because of the glass both are pretty damn fragile because of this I always recommend getting a case, but all along, as I said at the start, built because he's actually very similar, which honestly is more of a good thing than it is a bad thing. After this we have these screen and I honestly think this is probably where one of the biggest differences are between these phones.

The often times rocking that modern fight, 1 8 inches, 24 36 by 11 25 LED display with a PPI of 458 and an absolute peak, brightness, so best-case scenario of 809. It's, however, the on she took that classic 4.7 inch 16 by 9 approach with a resolution of 1334 by 750 and a peak brightness of 326 nits. As I said before, the aspect ratio is actually pretty radically different, with a classic 16 by 9 on the SE and the 10. Having this odd nineteen point, five by nine, very weird widescreen aspect, ratio and weird, as it may be, I personally love it in terms of real-world performance, as I said in my SE, review I didn't actually really care about the lack of resolution and the distance I like to use my phone, which is about right honestly. I, really don't think it's an issue colour in contrast, however, are pretty different, but the biggest thing I misspent exclusively using the SI was that aspect ratio.

Honestly, at this point, 16 by 9 does just feel a little dated with a lot of videos actually being shot an 18 by 9 nowadays such as this one, and I actually just prefer this look. It looks a lot more modern, despite the 10 being released almost exactly two and a half years ago. Another thing I personally prefer on the 10 over the SE, is simply the 3d touch. The 10 are 11 series and SE all traded this for the Hams touch, which actually operates on time, preps rather than pressure, which not only feels a little slower. But, let's be honest, is way less technologically cool I mean, let's be honest, pressure sensing pretty awesome in comparison, I'm pressed its kind of boring granted.

I can use both just fine, and I've more or less accepted. The haptic touch is the future, but still it's just something special about 3d touch. All in all the hit, the 10 takes a clear win. In fact, the screen seems to be better in almost every way holding on. We have the button layout, which is actually quite different on the off intent.

We have to that lack of the home button, the more modern layout with the multifunction lock button, several volume buttons and mute switch on the SE. Furthermore, we still have those separate volume buttons of Muse, which, however, lock button has that classic binding of clicked a lock and hold to power off, and all this slightly obscure functions have pretty much exclusively returned to the home button. Both sets feel just as good as each other honestly I do like the larger, lock button on the iPhone tent, but I wait prefer the layout on the iPhone SE. So, honestly, there aren't any real winners here, mostly just preference I'm. Next we have the unlock methods which are actually totally different for both the iPhone SE has that classic touch ID, whereas the event and was the first iPhone ever to include face idea.

The touch ID works as well as ever on the iPhone SE, with it being fast, accurate and probably the best touch based system Apple has ever released. However, the face ID just feels a lot more modern because well it is. It's also faster, thank you, but you can't use it unless you look directly at it, unlike on the iPhone 11, so in terms of ease of use, I honestly have to say, with these two phones, the SE is more user-friendly, but which do I prefer I personally, prefer the face. I'd I'm, rarely in a situation where I need to unlock my phone and can't look at it on top of how much more modern it feels that said, I honestly do have to say this. One comes down to preference.

Following on from this, we have the camera. Initially, a clear difference we can see is that the earth intent has two cameras where's the iPhone SE only has one so they often tend wins by default. Well, not exactly in terms of specs. The earth antenna has two previously mentioned separate focal lengths on a 12, megapixel sensor, standard and 2 times zoom. The warmth of Zoom has an aperture of f11 8, whereas the 2-ton zoom has an aperture of f28 for the iPhone SE.

On the other hand, has the wide angle, with the same F, 1.8 aperture again with the 12 megapixel sensor, but when we start to actually look at the photos, it's pretty clear that there's a significant difference in terms of Dunham's erosion sharpness, as we can see here, the SE is so far ahead of the iPhone 10 out. This is partly due to the a13 processor. It's not quite as big as the differences we on the often eleven, but still big difference here in terms of versatility, obviously often tends going to win. It has another focal length that I actually really like, as I've said in the past, for taking pictures of focused landscapes, people or architecture of at to time. Zoom is actually perfect.

If you want to see that in practice, then I suggest checking that video out up there, but in summary, I use that two ton zoom Allah colors, also look a little better on the IFMA, with some nice levels of saturation and overall skin tones were better than on the iPhone 10 I've always found the skin tends to look a little gray on the iPhone 10, but on the set hey look rich, realistic, I, just overall better in terms of portrait mode. This is actually where the iPhone 10 took a pretty huge lead. Well, it likes the aperture slider to adjust the level of background blur, and he's limited to the tell lens. It can be used on more than just people, which is awesome, I, always love using the portrait mode than the often to fake that blurry background, because, despite the first aperture, it's actually pretty difficult to get it any other way. It's simply due to the center limitations, when you can use it on the RMSE.

Furthermore, it does work well, but yeah still in this department, the 10 just works so much better in terms of the front-facing camera they're, both practically identical about 7 megapixels, and they both just look: ok good for selfies, better color and dynamic range on the SE, but not by much, and if you really want quality, you probably shouldn't use it moving on in terms of shooting video, both these phones shoot 4k and up to 60fps and slow motion 1080p and up to 240 FPS, but the longest turned out in the elephant 10. If not, we get some really good-looking video, especially as far as phone video quality goes. I love, the 4k 60fps for some lovely smooth handled shots and the slow motion will not terrifically high quality is useful in a pinch on this iPhone SE. However, it's actually a little better. You can actually get extended dynamic range in video up to 30 FPS, which in my opinion, looks awesome.

It does make a difference and when you're dealing with senses, this small I'm going to take pretty much all the dynamic range I can get in terms of slow-motion for the SE. Well, it's still not great quality. The 120p does for sure look better, but that 240 FPS is as muddy as ever. So, if you want good quality slow motion, you really should be shooting 120 fps, either way for video. Both are pretty good, but honestly, there's still a huge way of replacing actual cameras.

However, this isn't the case for photography, as I've said before, I often find myself using this far more than I use this for some casual photos. It's just such an easy nice, intuitive camera to use and all taking photos on. My phone is a lot of fun. Now, of course, as I said before, this isn't the case for video I still think smartphones have a long way to go in terms of video. It just still looks a little plastic.

That said, I'm optimistic for the future of smartphone video, and hopefully we'll see something perfect soon. Moving on, we probably have one of the most important aspects of any phone OSM our performance as the FNS II was released in 2020 with iOS 13. It will most likely last up until iOS 80 was the iPhone 10 was released in 2017, so this almost likely last until iOS 16. This is a pretty substantial difference, honestly, with the SE, certainly getting better OS support, but at the same time both are still gonna. Last a pretty long time in terms of OS performance, both Estela scrolling through the OS opening up apps and all the stock functionalities worked pretty great.

That said, there is still an error with the iPhone SE, where you can't have take touch on notifications. Hopefully they get this fixed to software updates. That would be useful, I actually expected that fixed to be out by now. Hopefully it comes out soon. The often 10, however, has now been out so long that everything feels mature and honestly I.

Think that's why I keep coming back to this phone. Everything works in terms of performance. As of now both worked pretty great zooming high resolution. Video was not a problem, and playing casual games was a very smooth experience on both. That said, when it came down to the more intensive games, the iPhone SE did take a slight lead, but most of the time, both absolutely fine, so yeah.

In summary, while the iPhone SE does technically perform better because there's a new release, it does still have a couple of those early on bugs and yeah as of now. The event end is just a more stable experience. That said, if Apple's usual 5-year support cycle is true, the iPhone SE will definitely outlast the iPhone tax yeah overall I have to give this gem to the iPhone SE up. Next we have this speaker performance which, to be honest, isn't all that important I mean honestly. If you need good quality, you really shouldn't be listening on phone speakers.

You should really be listening on like a good pair of headphones or speakers. That said both of the stereo technology that we saw introduced on the iPhone 7. This is where both the top and the bottom speaker are used in conjunction on both its nicely balanced and all in all. It. Just makes this sound feel a bit more full now the iPhone SE did sound a bit more full when listening and therefore a little louder, but all, but will be nice for some casual listening.

Finally, we have battery life. The earth antenna has a budget capacity of two thousand seven hundred and sixty mill amp hours, whereas the SE as budget capacity of 1821 million powers, so a pretty substantial difference as far as specs are concerned. As for how well they actually perform well at the moment, it's about the same, with a slight edge to the tap that said, I've been using the template pages now and the SE has just been released. So, despite that new 813 Bionic process to optimizing battery usage, as well as excellent standby preservation, seriously leave this thing locked it'll last, the 10 is still slightly better and if both will brand-new I'd have no doubt that the temper Britain both you must be a full day. However, I do usually need to plug them in the evening and honestly, I don't really mind this.

So, in my opinion, both are totally usable. That said, the 10 definitely wins this one all right. So now, we've covered all the important areas which of these two phones should you buy in 2020, it's pretty clear to me that these phones have different markets. The SE is, as I said at the start, a competitively priced phone that you can buy new without breaking the bank. So honestly, I think this phone will be for most people.

Most people just need a phone that works well, looks nice and takes good photos and, in my opinion, the SE checks all those boxes. That said the author intent is still the more power user s phone so long as you don't mind, buying refurbished or secondhand the screens better, there's a second camera, and it has some of those more modern features like face ID, so I think to power users who want an iPhone, but don't want to spend a lot of money. The other intent could be a good option, all right guys. So as always, thank you for watching remember to like the video.
