iPhone SE 2020 Long Term Review – OneYear Later!

iPhone SE 2020 is without a doubt the mostvalue for coin iPhone Apple has ever formed. Hey people, its Sagar and I have had thisphone for over a year, so lets be seen to what extent it has faired so far, and whether or not youshould consider getting in 2021, or rather who should consider getting it in 2021. There are already reports that the next versionof the iPhone SE might arrive sometime in the middle of 2022. So should you wait forit, or should you pull the trigger and get the 2020 iPhone SE? Well, could you reallywait 1 whole time to buy your next telephone? And at start that one will definitely costmore than what the 2020 SE does right now, so are you willing to shell out the extracash. If the answer to both these questions is yes, then ok sitting up here. But if you cantwait that long, continue watching this video, and see if this 2020 iPhone SE fits your needsand lifestyles.This phone came in at Rs. 42,500 when it waslaunched, and it has seen a few price reductions since then. Now you can purchase it for aslow as Rs. 33,000 and even lower if you get it with some offers. At this cost you get a very compact phone, premium structure caliber with IP67 dust and irrigate defiance rating, 4.7 inch IPS LCD screen, 64 GB of internal storage, and A13 Bionic the flagship processor of the time.You can speck it all the way upto 256 GB of internal storage, which is frankly more storagethan anyone would ever need, and it will cost you 48 K Rs.Which is still less than whatyou would pay for the basi discrepancy of the iPhone 11, and course less than what you wouldpay for the iPhone 12 mini. Many beings will try and argue in the commentsthat you can get a much better Android phone at this cost. A – I am not really going toget into that assertion in this video, coz then the video will take a completely differentturn and become an endless comparison. And B – Someone who is looking at get theiPhone SE 2020, knows what that want and what other gives are there at that price pitch, but they are still considering this phone because they are more pleasant stickingwith Apple, or maybe be then there deep into Apples eco-system. So this video is hereto help them decide, that whether it is possible they are able to do this iPhone SE in 2021. First thing that might attract brand-new buyerstoward this iPhone SE is its price. It is the cheapest iPhone right now, which stillcomes with respectably new specs.Other equally caused ingredient attracting peopletowards this phone is its size. There are many people who liked a smalleriPhone and who felt like the iPhone X, XS, XR and the iPhone 11 was way too big for them.There are also among some who wished a Home Button and Touch ID over face open, Andbecause of that, they were harbouring on to their iPhone 6, 7 or 8. Apple knew this, and forthose consumers they launched the 2020 iPhone SE. Other than the centred Apple logo, This iPhoneSE 2020, gets the exact same motif as the iPhone 8 from 2017, which implies Aluminiumframe sandwiched by glass at the figurehead and back, and yes sadly it also means we stillget the huge black bezels on the forehead and chin.That is one of the reason Applewas able to price it lower. I want it was launched at a starting priceof Rs. 42500 which is not exactly little, but at least it did not start at 64 K like theiPhone 8 did, and sentiment you this iPhone SE is much more powerful than the iPhone 8. Apple should not have to deplete one tonne of coin on R& D, sourcing new constituents or did noteven have to design this telephone from the ground up, which might have helped them price ita bit lower than what iPhones often do. I review Apple speedily realised that it woulddo a lot better if they priced it even lower, so in the past year iPhone SE has realized a fewprice trims, and now you can get it for as low-toned as 33 K.You can find it for even cheaperat some offline storages and Flipkart was even selling it for 26 K in one of their sales ifIm not wrong. Which was a bonkers toll for what this phone really offers. The designing had not been possible to new, but the Buildquality is just as good as any of the other flagship iPhones. It comes in Black, Whiteand Red emblazons, Gets the same Aluminium 7000 serials frame as other higher priced iPhones, has glass back and figurehead, comes with IP6 7 water and canal defiance, Wireless Charging, it has it all.Coming back to the size for a second. Evenafter consuming it for over a year, It is hard to get over the fact that how good this compactform part feels in your hands. It even weighs under 150 grams, and this force is very evenlyspread out across the phone. Now I am amazed with the size and weight, or someone who iscoming from an android phone and looking at this as their have entered into Apples eco-systemmight also be amazed at it. But someone who has been using the iPhone 8, 7, 6s or eventhe 6 and is upgrading to this will time feel at home. Overall the design on this phone is very durable.I have a screen protector on, but other than that, I have squandered it without a suit most ofthe time, and we dont check any major scratchings or caverns on its made or the back. I have alsospilled some liquid on it one or 2 hours, and thanks to the IP6 7 rating, it survived withoutany issue.Size of the spectacle is small, and most peoplelook at it as a downside, but then this phone is not targeted towards those people. It istargeted towards people who actually prefer a smaller display, and yes there are manypeople who do. Smaller display represents it easier for you toreach all angles with single mitt, while keeping overall size of the phone compactand the weight down. I dont mind that the size of the displayis small, but I feel that the resolution is a bit on the lower line-up. It is still a retinadisplay so you wont be able to distinguish between each individual pixel, while viewingit from an weapons length. But I am pixel peeper, and after having abused it for a verylong time, there are certain cases where you do notice the pixels, like while reading alot of verse or while zooming in on the epitomes that you took. Now I noticed it sometimes, but that doesnt planned everyone will.Overall parade quality is so good, that I reallydoubt anyone will notice that its not a FullHD screen. While watching videos you are able to not noticethese pixels. Quality of the screen is very good. Colour reproduction is excellent, viewingangels are really good and at 625 nits of ordinary flower brightness, it can even get verybright, Actually much brighter than most of the recent phones in this price range, soyou should not have any issues use it outdoors. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack. Apple hasleft it back for good on their smartphones. But you do get stereo orators which is alwaysgood to have. Output from these speakers is definitely superb for phone calls of thissize, but the overall tone is nothing out of the ordinary. It doesnt get as loudor as depth as the speakers on the iPhone 11, or the iPhone 12 mini, which is even smallerthan this phone. You can have a much better media viewing ordeal by consuming lightningor bluetooth earphones with this phone. Speaking of media intake, because mostvideos and demo are shot in 16:9, you dont get black barrooms at the top on foot whilewatching most videos on this phone.That might chime good, but this phone is not really buildfor media intake. The parade is small, battery is too small-minded and even talkers arenot the best. There is no issue with occasionally ending some videos here and there swipingthrough social media uprights or tales. But if you want to binge watch content, then iPhoneSE 2020 is not the idea device for it. There is only big bezels at the top and bottomof the exhibition, which realizes this telephone watch much older than it is. But at least they havesome purpose. Top bezel houses the front facing camera and the earpiece orator which doublesas a secondary speaker, and the bottom bezel is where the Home button and Touch ID sensorsits. Touch ID is such a convenient way to unlockthis telephone. We are wearing masks which utters applying face ID very difficult, and whenevernot at home, we be brought to an end typing in out passcode since we are wearing a mask.Yes, Apple hasintroduced MaskID so iPhones with face ID can open even if you have a mask on. But1, it is required to own an Apple Watch for it to work, which I dont think everyone who ownsan iPhone does. And 2, you need to have one of the newer Apple watches for this to work.Now I have an iPhone and an Apple Watch, but it is the 1st Apple Watch that came out, andmy watch is something that I dont look to upgrade after every 2-3 years. And sadlythis one doesnt have the hardware parts or the software to manufacture concealment ID work. So again, Touch ID is so much more convenient for me. BTW yes, I still own the 1st generation AppleWatch which was launched back in 2015, and I use it every day. I think they later startedcalling this one Series 0 which stirs it announce even older than it is. Hit the like buttonif you want to see how it is holding up after 6 years. Inside, It compresses in A13 Bionic processor, which was Apples recent processor when this phone came out.And it is the same processorthat came inside the iPhone 11 Series phones and those telephones start at a good Rs. 25 K abovethe iPhone SE. So we know that this phone is a beast at its nature, and its performanceis top notch, and it will be maintained so for years to come.Even now, there is no other phone which parcels in a flagship processor as powerful as A13Bionic, in and around this rate point.Everything races just as smoothly as it didwhen the phone was new. There are no controversies racing any of the latest tournaments or apps onit. If you play a lot of recreations, you might runinto a different matter. Now because the display is so tiny, all the verifies are a bit crampedup and the screen feels a bit cluttered. Buttons will appear small-time, so you will also have tomore precise and watchful while punching them. It come here for 3GB RAM, which might not soundlike much, but the way iOS exercises RAM is very different, so in your period to daylight application, 3GBRAM will be enough and you are able to never feel that the phone is slowing down because ofit. You can check out some of the recent phonesin this price range, or even some of last years flagship telephones, and the iPhone SE stillscores higher or equal to them in CPU benchmarks.And has a more consistent and better performancewith higher FPS in GPU marks as well. It is a strong phone, so you might wantto play a lot of games on it, and if you do it for long time, you will notice the backand aluminium enclose getting somewhat warm. Now yes, it gets warm with long gaming butit doesnt overheat. Heating and over heating are 2 different things. Every phone heatsa bit with long gaming periods and that is normal. But overheating is when the phoneshows a alerting on the screen that it is too hot, or the screen dims down or the flashis disabled or something like that.And I never knowledge overheating on this telephone. After body-build, width, Touch ID and flagship Processor, the next great advantage of iPhone SE is its operating system. It shipped with iOS 13, and right now it is running the latest version of iOS 14 available at the time of uploadingthis video, and it gets all the same and recent facets that are available on the iPhone1 2 sequences phones. Other than the gesticulate steering method of course, because we have a Home buttonfor that. Performance is smooth, and everything runslike butter on this phone. Apple is extremely vigilant with software updates, so you canexpect the SE to get all software updates for the next 4 to 5 years if not more. I havethe original iPhone SE here.It came out in 2016, and right now, it is running the sameversion of iOS which is on the latest iPhones. And it is also set to get the iOS 15 updatewhen it will be made available in September or October of this year.These are first day modernizes, which means they are available for you to install, the momentApple pushes it to all other telephones. Here i am single 12 megapixel camera on theback, and apple doesnt tell us which sensor it is, but it is not the same as the one usedin the iPhone 11. Thanks to the excellent image processing pipeline of the A13 Processor, even with an older sensor, images from this phone are really good.They are not the best or as good as the ones from iPhone 11, but I feel these are someof the best images that you are able to get from a phone in this price range.Most median customers who are not pixel peepers( which is almost everyone who is outside theworld of tech YouTubing) will like the results it produces.Colours in its likeness gaze good, there are plenty of details, and thanks to SmartHDR, dynamic array is also really good.The key boast of this camera is consistency. Click after clink, day in day out it willgive you good images frequently. It doesnt have secondary lens, but youcan still take description shots with its rear and figurehead facing camera as well.But if you are looking for a versatile defined of cameras, this one is not for you. I doesnthave the wide, telephoto or a macro lens, which will let you captivate a different perspective.You can however use add on lensed with it, which will let you make wide, telephoto ormacro shots, but then those are separate supplements that you will always need to carry aroundwith you, which obligates it a little less convenient. It can shoot optically stabilised 4K 60 fpsvideos and has an amazing dynamic range.So if you want to vlog with it you can definitelydo that. If you know how to use the dawn to your advantageand how to compost your shots, you can take some shocking portraits with this single camera.Yes the low-grade illumination execution is really weak, as it doesnt even have a night mode. Addingthe night mode alone, ought to have been spawned its camera play-act so much better, but for somereason, Apple left it out. At the breast we get an aged 7 megapixel sensorwhich is not even capable of shooting 4K videos. I have a dedicated video exhibition a lot ofimage and video samples from this telephone. If you want to know more about its cameras, youshould definitely check that video out. I likewise have a video comparing the camerason this iPhone SE with the iPhone XR and even the iPhone 11. In that video we find that iPhone1 1 unquestionably had a better camera, but there was barely any difference between the imagesfrom the iPhone SE and the iPhone XR.I will leave a card to both these videos onthe top right corner of your screen, and also join them in the description section. Everything other than the Battery life onthis phone is just amazing. Battery backup has been the weakest moment of this telephone, right from the launch. But I knew it is going to be like that, becauseIt battalions in a merely 1821 mAh battery, which will just got to get through half of your period, if you are a heavy customer. I consider myself an average to moderate used, and I struggleto get a screen on time of about 5 and half hours or 6 hours on a single charge.And onmost daytimes I have to plug it into the charger twice. If you like to play a lot of gameson your telephone, you might even have to charge it 3 times. Now dont are wrong, if you are a lite to average consumer, which I foresee most peopleconsidering get this phone are, and if you only use social media apps, make a fewcalls and do network browsing, watch a few cases videos on YouTube, then the battery will previous youan entire daytime. There have been a few good days, where I did not use the phone that muchand even pointed my dates with about 20 -2 4% of the artillery still remaining.But all in all, I dont consider this phone to have a good battery backup by todaysstandards. If you are coming from older iPhones, this backup might be enough for you, or youmight even feel like it gives you better backup because of the power efficient processor.So it genuinely depends on your individual practice. The good thing is, even with all this chargingthe phone multiple times in a date, the artillery state has held up pretty well for the lastyear.It was steady at 95% until last week or so, and has fallen to 94% recently. Partof a intellect for it might be the fact that I blame it with my Macbook Airs 30 wattcharger. If I would have abused the included 5 watt charger, or a 20 watt charger, or evena wireless charger, the artillery state would therefore be even higher. So you can blame thispart is on me. Ya another thing, I acquired this telephone lastyear, and it came with a charger and the lightning EarPods in the box. But now it doesnt comewith those things. It comes in a skinny container like the iPhone 12 successions phones and you onlyget the phone and accusing cable in the box. Nothing else. So hinder that in mind.To compensatefor this Apple has shortened the expenditure a little, so if you have an older charger hold on toit. Battery is the worst past of this telephone, andthere is no way around it. If you demand a phone that lasts much longer on a single charger, “youre going to have to” either expend a extra on the iPhone XR or the iPhone 11. Or go with oneof the android phones in this price range, and jeopardize on the performance, softwareupdates and construct excellence. The biggest point that can be made for this2 020 iPhone SE represents the value that it are provided by for the rate. It gives you shocking buildquality, the best possible performance for the price, unparalleled software support foryears to come with recent software liberations may be obtained on date 1, and it fits right in thepam of your hands.Apple erects these phones in a way, that theylast for a very long time with minimum problems. So if you willing to, you can easily use thisphone for the next 3-4 years without any issues. It will merely appear a lot dated then, becauseeven now, it doesnt have the latest design language as Apples other recent makes. Now I adore this telephone, so I am definitelygoing to hold on to it for another couple of years at least. But my utilization is a bit different.This really my in between telephone. I ever buy and use the latest iPhone that Apple secretes, but I Likewise sell them off before the toll starts dipping too much. And this one actsas my prime phone from the moment I sell one off and get the new one. Despite of all the good things that I toldyou guys, there are some people for whom this iPhone SE is not the privilege phone.If you area student, who represents a lot of recreations, or attends mint of their class online due to the pandemic, if you like to binge watch a lot of content on OTT pulpits, If you go out on a lot oftrips and need to carry restriction things with you, then this phone is not for you guys.You should probably look at the iPhone 11 or the iPhone XR if you want to save a bitmore or maybe some other android phones. As good as the performance of this iPhoneSE is, and as much value it gives you for the money that you pay for it, You wontbe happy with its display size, battery backup, and information that it doesnt appear as modernas other phones.As I said before, if you like smaller telephones, if you prefer home button and touchID over sailing gesticulates and face ID, if you holdingon to your older iPhone really because there wasnt a newer smaller iPhone, if you don’tlike the design direction that newer iPhones have made, and you want to hold on to theolder design for as long as you require, if you use your phone like phone calls, and not likea media consumption device, if you crave the most value for coin iPhone, if you are lookingto buy an iPhone as your secondary phone and dont want to spend a ton of money on it, or maybe your main phone broke, and you miss an interterm telephone to get you through untilnext iPhones come out, or if you are looking to enter into Apples eco-system but dontwant to waste too much to test the waters, In all these cases the 2020 iPhone SE is totallyworth it for you. You can even try getting a less used one in the second hand marketcoz that will be an even sweater deal.So you verify, there is a market for this phone, specially at its current prices.
