iPhone SE 2 vs iPhone SE 3 specifications

If Apple has been able to impress you with the introduction of the iPhone SE 3 (2022) or you are looking to get one of the cheap iPhone family phones, the leading comparison is right for you.

The most important change in the iPhone SE 2022 is the addition of 5G network support. The iPhone SE 2020 is one of the best economic phones of recent years. However, the 5G network is now overshadowed even by a country like Iran that does not officially support it.

It seems that the real potential of this network in our country will be determined in the coming years, so it is not at all strange that users are looking for a 5G quality phone.

However, some users also believe that the differences between the new SE family model and the previous model are not so great as to force them to migrate. If you are trying to reach a proper conclusion in this regard, in addition to the table of specifications below, we suggest you read the rest of the article carefully.

Price

The new iPhone SE is priced at $ 429, which is $ 30 more than the previous model. The current iPhone SE, first introduced in 2020, is priced at $ 399. On this account, $ 30 This $ 30 price increase is more than just about 5G support.

Of course, this also applies to the base model with 64 GB of internal memory. The 128GB and 256GB models are priced at $ 479 and $ 579, respectively.

Designing

iPhone SE 2 vs iPhone SE 3 specifications

Perhaps the biggest bad news for fans of the series is the lack of a change in the appearance of the new iPhone SE model. Apple has used a 4.7-inch display in this model as before, and contrary to expectations, there is no news about the 5.4-inch display of the iPhone 13 mini. Some rumors also suggested that Apple wanted to inspire the appearance of the iPhone XR.

If that happened then the iPhone SE 2022 would be equipped with a full-screen display without a Home button, and instead, the company’s familiar notebook. However, that clearly did not happen, and Apple once again considered the appearance of its latest phone, which was first used in 2014, within the iPhone 6 series.

However, using this design means the continued existence of the company’s fingerprint sensor, or Touch ID, which makes things easier for many users, especially now in times of corona epidemics and the need for a mask. On the other hand, we should not forget that with the release of iOS 15.4, the feature of unlocking the device based on the face is possible even while having a mask.

5G network

As we mentioned at the beginning, the biggest change from this model 2 years ago is the 5G network. Fifth-generation mobile Internet support means faster download speeds and less latency when gaming, but the iPhone SE 2022 still does not support mmWave.

This version of the iPhone, like the iPhone 13 series, is compatible with C-Band operators such as AT&T and Verizon in the United States, which, of course, is completely meaningless for domestic users due to the lack of 5G support in Iran. However, if you have the opportunity to use this technology, studies have shown that you will notice an extraordinary difference in the performance of the Internet.

Performance

The iPhone SE 2022 is the fastest phone in the world in its price range, and the situation may remain the same for a long time. This phone is based on Apple’s powerful A15 bionic chip, which was used in the iPhone 13 series last year. The iPhone 13 series benchmarks showed that Apple smartphones are the best smartphones in the world in terms of speed and performance.

The chip is a 6-core processor with 2 high-performance cores and 4 cores with optimal power consumption. Also, the device’s 4-core GPU and its 16-core neural engine all form a combination that no Android phone can currently offer. In fact, performing 15.8 trillion operations in just one second is an honor for this phone.

The use of this powerful processor in the iPhone SE 2022 shows that users can expect a much better Live Text feature in the new model of this family.

cameras

The iPhone SE 2022 is equipped with only one main camera, which does not have significant performance, at least on paper. At least many users expected Apple to use at least one ultra-wide lens in this new model.

However, the use of the A15 bionic chip may lead to some computational and algorithmic improvements in the camera of this phone. Smart HDR 4, for example, diffusion and photographic styles are some of the features that were lacking in the previous SE model and were first introduced with the iPhone 13 series.

Of course, this chip also takes the story forward to some extent, and unfortunately, the rest of the capabilities of the iPhone 13 camera have not found their way into the iPhone’s economy phone. Cinematic mode is one of the features of the iPhone 13 camera that can not be expected in the iPhone SE 2022. This feature may require two lenses to focus. Also, like the previous model, there is no night mode. This is one of the strange shortcomings of this device’s camera, for which Apple seems to have no excuse.

Battery life and charge

The biggest problem with the iPhone SE 2020 was its battery life, which, if repeated by Apple, could have far-reaching consequences. The previous model had only 9 hours and 18 minutes of charging, which was also available on the 4G network with a brightness of 150 nits.

The good news is that Apple has taken note of the criticism. The A15 bionic processor consumes less power and also uses a larger 1821 mAh battery in this phone to witness a relatively significant internal transformation.

Like other Apple iPhones, the charger adapter is not to be included in the box. However, the iPhone SE 2022 apparently supports fast charging. In this way, the battery of this phone will be 50% charged within 30 minutes. The iPhone SE 2022 is capable of supporting wireless charging, but Apple did not mention Magsif.

Conclusion

Overall, the iPhone SE 2022 does not seem to have made much progress compared to the SE 2020. 5G network support and the use of the A15 Bionic processor are their only tangible advantages over the model from 2 years ago. However, the first case is still not considered a direct advantage in our country, so all the really efficient changes of this phone, at least for the Iranian user, are reduced to its powerful processor.

This processor allows you to capture better pictures and videos and experience longer battery life. However, these changes have not led to a significant price increase, and the $ 30 increase in the price of the iPhone SE 2022 is practically negligible. However, this new iPhone’s budget phone will probably have a hard time normalizing its changes and pricing.

If you are looking to enter the Apple ecosystem in the cheapest possible way but with the greatest benefits, there is no better product than the iPhone SE 2022 ahead of you. Beyond that, the decision is yours.
