Review
Apple introduced the 4-inch iPhone SE, its first 4-inch iPhone since 2013, at a media event on March 21, 2016, with the official launch following on March 31. Described as the "most powerful 4-inch iPhone ever, " the iPhone SE marries the design of the iPhone 5s with many internal components from the iPhone 6s, resulting in an affordable, highly capable device that's available in a small package.
Design wise, the iPhone SE uses the same body as the iPhone 5s, but it includes a color-matched inset stainless steel Apple logo and matte chamfered edges, contrasting the shiny chamfered edges and standard logo of the iPhone 5s. The iPhone SE is available in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold.
An A9 chip with integrated M9 motion coprocessor, also used in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, powers the iPhone SE, enabling always-on "Hey Siri" functionality. Its efficiency results in longer battery life with up to 14 hours of talk time and 13 hours of Internet use.
Also adopted from the iPhone 6s is a rear-facing 12-megapixel camera which has faster focusing, better noise reduction, improved tone mapping, and a new image signal processor for sharper, more detailed photos. The iPhone SE can shoot 4K video and capture 63-megapixel panoramas, and it can take Live Photos, but there is no 3D Touch support.
The FaceTime HD camera has not been upgraded, continuing to support 1.2-megapixel photos and 720p video recording. Retina Flash, which lights up the iPhone's display for illumination, is includedSize wise, the iPhone SE measures in at 4.87 inches by 2.31 inches, measurements shared by the iPhone 5s. It is 7.6mm thick, a good deal thicker than the 7.1mm thick iPhone 6s or the 7.3mm thick iPhone 6s Plus, and it weighs 3.99 ounces - lighter than any other iPhone. With a 4-inch display and compact body, the iPhone SE is easily pocketable and it can be easily used with one hand.
Display
Since the iPhone 4, all of Apple's devices have included a Retina Display, and the iPhone SE is no exception. It features an LED-backlight Multi-Touch IPS Retina Display with a resolution of 1136 x 640 at 326 pixels per inch.
While the iPhone SE adopts many features from the iPhone 6s, 3D Touch is not one of those features, instead remaining limited to Apple's flagship iPhones. It does not include some recent advances in display technology either, like dual domain pixels, an iPhone 6 and later feature that improves the display when viewed at an angle.
The display is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass, which is resistant to scratches and other damage, and there's a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating.
Processor
The iPhone SE uses the dual-core 64-bit A9 chip that was first introduced in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, so it is as powerful as Apple's more expensive flagship devices. With the updated chip, the iPhone SE offers CPU performance two times faster than the iPhone 5s and GPU performance three times faster.
a9xperformance
A Geekbench test revealed the A9 chip in the iPhone SE runs at 1.85GHz, so it is able to perform at the same level as the iPhone 6s. On the Geekbench benchmark, the iPhone SE received a single-core score of 2538 and a multi-core score of 4421, on par or slightly better than tests conducted on the iPhone 6s.
Apple's A9 chip includes an embedded M9 motion coprocessor, enabling always-on "Hey Siri" functionality in the iPhone SE. With the always-on feature, Siri can be activated at any time by saying "Hey Siri." In older iPhones, "Hey Siri" hands-free capabilities are only available when the device is charging.
The M9 motion coprocessor also powers the iPhone SE's accelerometer, compass, and gyroscope, so the device can measure steps, track distance traveled, and keep an eye on other fitness-related metrics.
RAM
Apple does not announce the RAM in its devices, but testing on the iPhone SE has revealed 2GB of RAM, putting it on par with the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, both of which also include 2GB RAM.
Compared to the iPhone 5s, which has just 1GB RAM, the iPhone SE will be able to keep more apps and data in recent memory, something that has significant benefits when doing tasks like browsing the web with multiple tabs.
Battery Life
With an efficient processor, a small display, and room for a decent-sized battery, the iPhone SE offers battery life that outperforms the iPhone 6/6s and is nearly on par with the iPhone 6/6s Plus.
batterydetails
iPhone SE battery life is significantly better than the battery life of the iPhone 5s with up to 14 hours of talk time, up to 13 hours of Internet use, up to 13 hours of video playback, and up to 50 hours of audio playback.
Camera
For a 4-inch iPhone that starts at$399, the iPhone SE has an amazing camera. It adopts the camera module from the iPhone 6s, featuring a 12-megapixel camera and a number of upgrades to improve picture quality over the iPhone 5s.
With more megapixels, the iPhone SE is able to capture more detail in photos for crisper images, and an Apple-designed image signal processor offers better noise reduction and improved tone mapping, while autofocusing improvements make focusing to get the perfect shot much faster. Combined, all of these camera features result in clear, detailed images with rich, true-to-life colors.
iphonesecamera
Like the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, the iPhone SE can capture and edit 4K video at 30 fps, 240 fps Slo-Mo video(720p at 240 fps or 1080p at 120 fps), and Time-Lapse video. It can also record 1080p video at 30 or 60 fps and it supports taking 8-megapixel still photos while recording 4K video.
Live Photos can be captured with the iPhone SE, but without 3D Touch, they are played back on the iPhone using a long press. Live Photos are a new feature that add life and vitality to a standard still photo by capturing an extra 1.5 seconds of movement before and after a shot. The extra footage is used to animate the photo with movement and sound, similar to the animated photos shown in the Harry Potter movies.
Therefore, its a must buy phone for the people who are willg to own the poweful iPhone ever.
THANK YOU
