Equipped with high-end specifications, iPhone SE 5G is the newly launched smartphone by Apple, which is also considered to be affordable.

The mobile is a revised version of its predecessor and comes with a 4.7 inches Retina IPS LCD display with a screen resolution of 750 x 1334 pixels that lets you enjoy crystal clear visuals while watching movies or playing games.

iPhone SE 2022 is powered by an A15 Bionic chipset that gives you faster and lag-free performance. Moreover, the Apple smartphone is available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage variants in midnight, starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED color variants. Besides, the phone houses a Li-Ion mAh non-removable battery that supports fast charging.

Speaking about the optics, on the rear, the new iPhone SE 2022 features a 12 MP primary camera with f/1.8 aperture allowing you to capture amazing videos and pictures. Camera features on the phone include Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, Deep Fusion, and more. Moreover, on the front iPhone SE 5G supports a 7 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture for selfies and video chats.

Various connectivity options on the iPhone SE include 5G supported by the device (network not rolled-out in India), 4G (supports Indian bands), 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, dual-band, hotspot, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, and more. Sensors on the Apple phone include fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, compass, barometer, gyro, Siri natural language commands and dictation, and more.

The handset’s display, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired. The smartphone ships with a 4.7-inch, Retina HD screen that feels cramped, to say the least. It’s seemingly outclassed by the iPhone 12 / 13 Mini’s panels too, which maximise the screen’s real estate and offer slender bezels. What’s more, unlike Apple’s modernised Mini range, the SE 2022’s display is backed by LCD tech, meaning you’ll miss out on the vibrant hues offered by the 12 Mini / 13 Mini’s OLED screens. Now, to the company’s credit, the smartphone’s screen offers pleasant viewing angles. What’s more, the panel gets plenty bright at 625 nits as well, so outdoor usage should not be an issue for most buyers. And, the phone can even relay HDR content via OTT services like Netflix.

The lowdown

There’s no escaping the fact that the iPhone SE 2022 looks exactly like its predecessor, which in turn resembles the iPhone 8 launched quite some time ago. In essence, buyers opting for the iPhone SE 2022 will have to – in a very un-Apple-like fashion – explain that they are, in fact, using a new iPhone. Even if you can overlook the phone’s resemblance to its predecessors, it’s hard to turn a blind eye to the competition that includes stylish, upmarket Android phones and all-screen iPhones. Now, that’s not to say that the phone’s design is bad. In fact, the smartphone feels every bit as premium as my iPhone 13 (review).
