Technical analyzes and reviews of the new iPhone iPhone SE, which appeared about a week after its official launch, confirmed that the phone represents a "smart surgery" during which "Apple" combined the design and general specifications of the iPhone 8 I put it in 2017, and the brain power of the iPhone 11 Pro and the 11 Pro Max that I put out last year is what makes iPhone SE the best low-cost smartphone you can buy at the moment.

This result came in two technical analyzes and reviews, conducted by businessinsider.com and cnet.com analysts separately, and they were published last Thursday. Analysts of the two parties agreed that this phone may be one of the indications of what the phone might be in the coming years. Analysts reviewed the different aspects of this phone as follows:

the design

The phone came with a design similar to «iPhone 8», the front and back parts are made of glass, chassis and sides from aluminum, and the new phone contains the old «Apple» front, and the edge of the chin above and below the screen. The only difference between the two is that the "Apple" logo is on the back of the "SE", to fit the current generation of "iPhone" phones. This design makes SE look a little old, which may seem preferable to some, and not attractive to others.

The SE comes in three colors, black, white and red. The iPhone 8 also had its own red version, but it had white edges, but the color on the new phone comes with black edges.

Back to the old one

Apple on this phone abandoned the facial recognition system as an identity verification tool, and returned to the use of the fingerprint learning system with touch, and analysts described the move as more like returning from the automatic transmission in the car, to the old transmission, which works with a manual switch stick .

And Apple did the same thing with the main power key, as it reverted to the old design, which gives up the fast double-click method for applications, and uses the main key that makes interactions and roaming less complicated, and is still satisfactory for use by many.

Screen and water resistance

For those who prefer small phones, the 4.7 inch iPhone SE screen is not small, but it is still smaller than most phones at the present time, and it is sufficient to be portable and comfortable for most people, and it is similar to the screen on the iPhone 11, especially In terms of quality and accuracy, the text appears sharp, the colors are accurate and bright in sunlight.

IPhone SE has the compatibility feature of the IP67 standard for water and dust resistance, meaning that it can withstand immersion for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter, then it comes out of the water to do everything fine, and at the same time it is dust resistant , A feature that is not normally available on phones under $ 400.

the battery

This phone works with a battery with a longer battery life than the iPhone 8 battery. During field tests, a video was played repeatedly in what the phone is in “flight” mode at the highest level of brightness, and the phone continued to play the video in this mode for 15 hours and 45 Minutes, which is longer than the iPhone 8 battery was able to do, and the results of this experiment were repeated when it was executed twice in a row in two consecutive days.

The iPhone SE includes wireless charging, another feature that is not present in most phones with a budget of less than $ 400, and there is also support for the fast charging feature, which recharges the battery to 50% in 30 minutes, but it does not come with the charger 18-watt, but a slower 5-watt charger, to save costs.

Performance tests

SE has proven to be more powerful than the iPhone 8 in terms of performance, and analysts have attributed it to the advanced A13 Bionic processor chip, which runs the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and « 11 Pro Max », and at this point the new phone recorded performance levels similar to the iPhone 11 high-spec phones, which makes it more like a“ smart surgery ”by Apple to provide a cheap phone with advanced performance.

Wise concessions

Analysts described the weaknesses of the iPhone SE with wise concessions by Apple, where it focused on the sub and side properties, including returning to work with a single back camera instead of three, but the existing camera achieves image quality that is close to the quality of I cameras IPhone 11 », but it does not include the features of night photography, and deep zoom. Apple also abandoned the facial recognition system, controlling the phone through gestures, hand gestures, and some advanced specifications on the screen.
