Apple has been doing an incredible job with their prices lately. Be it massive price drop in the ‘New MacBook Air’ or bringing in an ‘iPad’ centrally focused on Education. Something very similar has been done in the iPhone lineup as well. iPhone SE 2020 which Apple released in April with the price tag of $399 looks pretty tempting. Not just it has a flagship design (of 2017) but it is packed with incredible new specs and some minor deductions as well.

While looking at the design it is evident that it has the same form factor and design to that of the iPhone 8. But actually, that’s a really good option to the chunk of an audience looking for a phone which can easily fit in their hands. The build is quite solid with an IP67 rating making it Dust and Water Proof. Apple has also enabled wireless charging on this phone. Battery Life is pretty much the same as the iPhone 8 and can easily last a day on moderate use. The glass sandwich design in no way feels old except in the department of the display. The display is a 4.7inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1334x750 at 326 PPI. It can get decently bright up to 625 nits. The return of Home Button is quite noticeable but what’s not is the removal of 3d touch and it’s the ability to sense pressure. The haptic feedback replaces it in this phone and 3d touch is officially dead from Apple’s lineup of smartphones.
