Apple iPhone SE Review

Score: 75.7 / 100

Apple iPhone SE is a top-notch phone launched back in 2016, having a 4" screen, a Dual-Core CPU running at 1.84 GHz, a 12 MP back side camera and a 1.2 megapixels front camera.

It appears that Apple forgot about weight optimization in this 3.99 oz device. This device is offerred in lots of color variations: gold, rose gold, silver and space gray. The iPhone SE design is a mix of Aluminum and Aluminum . The Apple iPhone SE is slim and practical, with a thickness of just 0.3".

Apple designed this phone with a completely amazing 4 inches screen, and a resolution of 640 x 1136 , which makes all images and videos look brightful and colorful.

This device comes with a Apple A9 APL0898 system chip, holding a very powerful 1.84 GHz Dual-Core CPU with a big 2 GB of RAM. An excellent aspect of this phone is its astonishing 128 GB internal storage and whereas it doesn't come with a slot for SD memory cards, it is still enough to install hundreds of apps and even the largest games available nowadays without even thinking about running out of space at all.

This cellphone includes Wi-Fi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a router), LTE (4G) high performance connection type and fast 3G data connection, supported by HSPA and HSUPA technologies. The iPhone SE works with a Nano SIM card for GSM services.

This phone features two cameras, a 12 MP back-facing camera and a 1.2 mega-pixels front camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a maximum 2.2 aperture so it can take sharp photos even in poor lighting situations. It is capable of shooting videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 30 fps, and HD 1280x720 slow-motion videos at 240 frames per second (8 times slower ). This cellphone also has time lapse video and auto-focus.

The iPhone SE comes with a 1624 mAh medium Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the iPhone SE with a not very long battery life. An important issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins losing capacity, leaving no choice but to buy a new cellphone.

This device also features a great numbre of great features such as Fingerprint Reader, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS Geolocation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This device is not a good choice considering it costs 499 dollars, and some similar devices are offerred way cheaper than that. No matter if you will use it for work, are looking for a social phone, will use it as a gaming device or want this device to take many photographs, you will definitely love this device.
