iPhone SE (2022): How Big Is The Screen?

Those who have heard of the new iPhone SE will know that it is the smallest iPhone to date. It has the same A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13, but it also has a few features unique to the SE.

One of the best features of the SE is its fingerprint sensor. It is fast and reliable, and is easy to find and use. It is also water and dust resistant.

Another feature of the SE is its True Tone technology. This means that the screen has better colour accuracy than many other inexpensive Android phones.

Its 4.7-inch display has a resolution of 1334 x 750 at 326 pixels-per-inch. The screen is also quite bright, with 800 nits of maximum brightness.

The SE also has an IP67 water and dust proof rating, which means it is rated to withstand water and dust up to one meter for thirty minutes. However, it does not have a headphone socket sadly.

The SE does have a fingerprint sensor, which means it will work even if you drop it in water. It also features Touch ID, which will allow you to log in without having to unlock the phone.. all basic but quite welcome features for most people.

The SE has a curved chassis, which makes it easy to hold. It is also lightweight and comfortable to use. Despite its small size, the SE is very capable. It is also one of the most affordable new iPhones. Its price starts at £429 for the smaller 64GB model, the 128GB model is £100 more.

It has a curved glass back, which is durable and waterproof. It has a physical Home button, which is useful for some people.

The iPhone SE is one of the few phones that has an A15 Bionic chip, which makes iOS run at full speed. It is also capable of producing high-quality photos. It is also the fastest midrange phone Apple has made to date.

Are the Cameras Any Good?

Compared to the previous iPhone SE, the camera on the new iPhone SE (2022) performs better. The new SE's camera is able to judge light better than the old model. This allows it to capture great photos.

The camera on the iPhone SE (2022) is also able to record 4K videos at 60 frames per second. In addition to this, the camera on the SE has a Quad-LED dual-tone flash. It also has Portrait Lighting and Wide colour support. This camera also allows for time-lapse video and slo-mo video.

The camera on the SE has an optical image stabilisation feature that moves the camera sensor to ensure smooth footage. However, this camera doesn't support HDR video recording with Dolby Vision.

The cameras on the SE get a new software feature called Deep Fusion that helps to enhance the details in low light and medium light. This technology isn't detectable in the image metadata, but it engages automatically. The SE allso has a Cinematic mode that allows users to focus on a subject or background and create a movie-like shot.

The new iPhone SE also has a 7MP f/2.2 front-facing camera. This camera supports Portrait Mode and supports FaceTime HD video. It also has an LED True Tone flash with Slow Sync capabilities.

Despite its improvements, the camera on the SE still lacks a Night Mode. This is a feature that allows users to take great photos in low light. However, this mode only works for static subjects. The SE is still capable of shooting in low light, but the images will be dark and grainy.

The SE's camera can also take advantage of the new Touch ID Home button. This button can be used to perform biometric authentication through fingerprints.

Battery Life: iPhone SE 2022

Compared to the first-generation iPhone SE, the iPhone SE 2022 - or iPhone SE 3 -  features a larger battery, a better camera, and faster connectivity.

The battery in this third-generation iPhone SE supports wireless charging.. finally. It can be charged to 50% of its capacity in as little as 30 minutes using a 20W adapter.

The new iPhone SE also has improved water and dust resistance. It also features a glass back and a colour-matched aluminium band, giving it quite a cool look. Still not as nice looking as the top-of-the-range iPhones, like the iPhone 13, but then at this price you can't complain, as other reviews agree.

What variants are there for the iPhone SE 2022?

The iPhone SE is available in 128GB and 256GB models.

It comes in three colours, Midnight, (PRODUCT)RED, and Starlight. It supports fast charging and Qi wireless charging. It is compatible with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X57 modem, which allows it to connect to 5G networks.

How much does iPhone SE cost in UK?

So as you can see, battery life in the new iPhone SE is good. But how much doees it cost?

The SE is one of the most affordable new iPhone models on the market right now. The new iPhone SE 2022 costs £449 for the 64GB model.

This compares very well indeed for instance against the RRP of £929 for the iPhone 14.

Performance: iPhone SE 2022 reviewed

Compared to the iPhone X for example, the iPhone SE is the smallest, most portable iPhone around today that you can still buy new.

It also has the lowest price of any new iPhone, which will be welcome news for those suffering from strained household budgets. Plus, it's also one of the fastest smartphones on the market. Despite its low price, the SE has the same processor as the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, and a lot of new features. It's also capable of fast charging.

The iPhone SE is perfect for people who don't want to spend a lot of money, and yet don't want to compromise on performance. It offers a lot of performance improvements over older iPhones.

Plus, let's not foregt that it also has a better battery life than last year's model. It also has an IP67 water resistance rating, which is sufficient and its battery lasts for 50 hours - even, supposedly, when streaming videos and listening to audio.

The iPhone SE's A15 "Bionic" chip is much more powerful than the A13 chip found in the iPhone 8. The chip features a 6-core CPU and a four-core GPU, and adds 4K video recording and Smart HDR4 processing. It also includes Deep Fusion processing for taking medium-to-low light photos.

iPhone SE (3rd): Design

Despite having a small-ish 4.7-inch screen, the iPhone SE (2022) it's still a great looking phone. It's the cheapest new iPhone in Apple's lineup, and it's also one of the fastest.

The SE is a great choice for anyone who doesn't mind a small screen, but it doesn't have many of the features that other Android phones have. For example, you won't get a headphone jack or support for millimeter-wave, or mmWave.

It also features True Tone tech, which helps the phone make sense of light. In the SE's case, it means the screen can hit 625 nits of maximum brightness. That's less than what you'd get with an OLED screen, but it's still an improvement over the iPhone 13's 320 nits of brightness.

How to get cheap iPhone SE 2022 contract deals?

Popular mobile network operators in the UK include EE, O2, Vodafone, and Three, but there are also many other providers to choose from. Check their websites, and also check third-party comparison sites, to see what contract deals are available right now!

You should also keep an eye out for promotions and/or special offers. Many networks offer discounts or bonuses when you sign up for a new contract or upgrade an existing one.

Conclusion: Should you buy the iPhone SE on contract?

The SE 2022 comes in three colours. Midnight has a black finish with a bit of blue undertone. Starlight is silver with a little bit of gold. And productRED is quite a light red, almost a pink to my eye.

The SE is water and dust resistant, and it's IP67 certified. It's not the first iPhone to get this rating, but it's certainly gives you peace of mind knowing that if you drop it in the bath it *should* be okay.

Overall then, it's a great phone whether you buy it outright or on pay monthly. Deals start from just £20 a month if you prefer a contract, and all UK networks are offering it (including resellers).
