Review on Apple iPhone SE 2020 128GB Smartphone, (PRODUCT)RED, Slimbox by Kristiyana Briblo ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I had planned to hold off for a year and purchase the more affordable iPhone 12 mini after that, but my old seven suddenly hooted. I had to decide between getting the iPhone 11 or the iPhone SE since I didn't want to leave the Apple ecosystem, even if it was just for a short while. The camera that was promoted lent support to the first alternative, but the design that was identical to all seven cameras lent support to the second alternative (for some, the 4.7 screen is criminally small, but in my opinion it is ideal, the phone should lie comfortably in the hand and be controlled with the same hand). As a direct consequence of this, I chose SE: after all, it was impossible to receive and give 50k without repercussions, and 35 was about right. But I do not regret it: in terms of functionality, the same seven, but faster, with a more adaptive screen (a genuine tone function has been added), an excellent camera, and a couple extra capabilities that I still do not use (like wireless charging). The camera was a lovely and unexpected gift. Even while it is written everywhere that she upgraded from the eight, in reality there is not much of a difference between it and the eleventh iPhone (compared with the 11th of her friend). The SE does not have a wide mode or a night mode, but other than that, there is not little difference between the two in terms of the picture quality. Because of the color scheme, it feels much more welcoming than the 11th. The design is dated, the screen is small, there is no convenient Face ID (respectively, and animoji), but there is a Home button, which Apple could have very well refused, but did not do this for the sake of increasing sales of state employees. SE techno-maniacs and mobile gamers will become bored. These are all valid points of contention. Yet, everyone chooses the option that best suits their requirements. For me, at this moment in time, a low price was essential, and it ended up being the deciding factor. If there had been an additional 15 thousand, I probably wouldn't have given a damn about how "shovely" the 11th was and would have taken it anyhow. Even though there wasn't a sudden "wow" moment when I switched from my iPhone 7 to my new iPhone SE, the new SE is, in theory, an excellent traveling companion because it handles all of life's routine responsibilities more effectively than my prior iPhone. I'm going to continue to compete with him for the next three years, after which we'll see what other surprises Apple has in store for us.

Pros
  • Price, a design that is compact and elegant, and a good camera.
Cons
  • Capacity of the battery, shiny grime on the rear.
