Apple iPhone SE 2022 vs iPhone SE 2020: Price difference
When the older iPhone SE was launched in India, the starting price was Rs 42,500. The phone is currently selling for Rs 29,999 on Flipkart, although Apple has officially pulled this off its website.
The new iPhone SE (2022) starts at Rs 43,900 in India for the base 64GB version, while the 128GB version costs Rs 48,900. The 256GB version will cost Rs 58,900. The new iPhone SE comes in Midnight, Starlight, and PRODUCT RED color options.
Apple’s website already has replacement options for the iPhone SE, and it will start at Rs 34,900 if you have an older phone for a swap. The deal would be even better if that older device was the iPhone. Apple iPhone SE (2022) is open for pre-orders from March 11 and will go on sale on March 18.
Apple iPhone SE 2022 vs iPhone 2020: Design and Display
The older iPhone SE was launched in three colors: black, white and red (PRODUCT). This year’s iPhone has slightly different colors compared to the previous version as we noted above.
The older iPhone SE had an aerospace-grade aluminum and glass chassis with an all-black front, and while this continues on the 2022 iPhone SE, there are slight changes. Apple says the front and back windshields are the toughest they’ve used yet. This is the same glass on the back of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13, so it should ensure better durability. The new iPhone SE continues with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.
Just like the original iPhone SE, the new iPhone SE 5G has the same 4.7-inch screen. The screen resolution remains 1334 x 750 pixels at 326 pixels per inch. This is a True Tone display with support for a wide color screen (P3) and Haptic Touch. Its maximum brightness is 625 lumens.
Apple kept the home button on the front with Touch ID fingerprint scanner support.
Apple iPhone SE 2022 vs iPhone 2020: Processor, Camera and Battery
iPhone SE 2022 got a major upgrade in terms of processor, improvements to the camera as well as battery life. iPhone SE 2022 is now powered by the A15 Bionic processor, like the iPhone 13 series. The processor has a hexa-core CPU with 2 performance and 4 efficient cores, a quad-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. The phone is also 5G ready. The older iPhone SE 2020 was powered by the A13 Bionic processor.
Apple has also made camera improvements to the iPhone SE 2022, although it continues with the single camera on the back. The iPhone SE 2022 continues with a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera and f/1.8 aperture. The front camera remains 7 megapixels. Once again, the improvements have been mostly software-driven and thanks to the improved image signal processor (ISP) that the A15 brings to the new iPhone SE.
The rear camera has a digital zoom of up to 5x. Portrait mode with advanced bokeh and depth control was also present in the previous generation. Both phones have OIS or
Optical image stabilization as well. But the new iPhone SE gets support for Apple’s more advanced software camera features like Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles and Deep Fusion. The company added this to the iPhone 13 series.
With Smart HDR 4, Apple’s camera software uses what the company calls “smart segmentation” to apply “various adjustments for color, contrast, and noise to the subject against the background.” This ensures better skin tones when taking portraits of people.
Shooting Styles allows users to bring their personal photo preferences to each photo. So those who prefer brighter or muted colors can choose their preference in the settings.
Finally, Apple’s Deep Fusion technology uses “advanced machine learning to do pixel-by-pixel processing, optimizing texture, detail, and noise in every part of an image,” according to the company. Apple also claims that the A15 Bionic’s image signal processor “delivers dramatically improved video with low noise, especially in low light, with better white balance and healthier skin tone.”
Regarding the battery, Apple does not disclose the size. But Apple says the A15 ensures better battery life over the iPhone SE. Apple has officially stated that the iPhone SE 2022 battery will be up to 15 hours with video playback. This is supposed to be two hours more than the previous iPhone SE.
iPhone SE is compatible with Qi-certified chargers for wireless charging and also supports 20W fast charging like other devices from Apple. Finally, the Apple iPhone SE is also 5G ready, which was missing from the previous generation. And yes, it will run iOS 15. According to Apple, the new iPhone SE will continue to have iOS support for the coming years.
