•1) Familiar Look = Familiar Feel (13/15)
•1) Familiar Look = Familiar Feel (13/15)
Looks come in form of 3 beautiful colors Black, White & Red. Among the trio colors, Red one does make this IPhone SE stand apart.
It carries forward familiar dimensions of 138.4*67.3*7.3 mm (Length*Width*Thickness) & Weigh's 148g which is exactly same as the IPhone 8 giving it compact form factor to offer eaase in one handed usability.
The build uses Ion-strengthened Glass on front & back along with aluminium frame to provide solid feel and the compact nature makes it feel very comfortable to hold.

•2) High Quality Display = Awesome Viewing Experience (13/15)
The display quality comes from 4.7' Retina HD 1334x750 pixels resolution IPS panel having 326 ppi density (sharpness) in 16:9 aspect ratio (widescreen). The display supports True Tone Display (adjust display color based on surrounding), Wide color display P3 (wider color gamut). Also comes with 625 nits Brightness, Display zoom, Haptic touch & Reachability (all of which as advertised).
Considering all the above put together along with higher brightness & contrast (better sunlight visibility) should provide you a display with excellent overall quality & awesome viewing experience.

•3) More Features = More Happiness (13/15)
The awesome features list include Dual SIM (Nano SIM & eSIM) slot, 4G LTE/LTE-A (2x2 MIMO & LAA) with VoLTE & VoWi-Fi, Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax, Dual-Band (2.4G+5G) & 2x2 MIMO), Bluetooth 5.0 (A2DP, LE), NFC with reader mode, Express cards with power reserve, GPS (A-GPS & GLONASS), Sensors (Touch ID fingerprint, Accelerometer, Compass, three-axis Gyroscope, Ambient light & Proximity), Lightning port, Alert slider, stereo speakers, IP67 Certification, But misses out 3.5mm headphone jack.
There is single RAM (3GB LPDDR4X) & 3 Storage (64/128/256 NVMe) variants on offer.
•4) Upgraded Hardware = Super Fast Performance (19/20)
•4) Upgraded Hardware = Super Fast Performance (19/20)
The internals is powered by Apple A13 Bionic SOC (7nm+ Fabrication with 3rd Gen Neural Engine) which is an hexa-core processor (2x2.65 Ghz Lightning & 4x1.82 Ghz Thunder) which is same as the one found on IPhone 11, Apple designed quad-core graphics, 3GB RAM & upto 256GB storage.
The software on-board is IOS 13 which comes with minimal customization options.
The performance should be extraordinary thanks to all the tech inside, which would handle all your daily tasks (Faster app & game loading times, Better Multitasking & Smoother UI operations) with ease and for all the gamers out there you should be able to play all demanding games (PubG, Asphalt 9, Call of Duty Mobile & list goes on) smoothly without any lag or drop in frame rates in high settings to enjoy high level of detail from the game-play. Also thanks to stereo speakers the audio quality should be very good as well which ads to immersive experience (gaming & video watching).
What ads to sustained performance is the RAM management which is my favorite part and here too the performance is excellent (efficient utilization of RAM) to enhance overall performance.

•5) Great Camera = Equally Good Performance (16.5/20)
The front camera comes with single lens 7MP (f/2.2 aperture & Fixed Focus). In terms of video recording it support's upto FHD(1080p)@30 fps. The front camera features include cinematic video stabilization (1080p & 720p), QuickTake video, Portrait mode with advanced bokeh & depth control, Portrait lighting with six portrait lighting effects, Auto HDR for photos, Auto image stabilization, Screen flash & Burst mode.
Talking about image, The overall image quality should be quite excellent in day light & very good even under low light in auto mode and there are few features & settings to take better control of things.
Talking about video, The overall video quality should be quite excellent in day light & very good in low light, There is OIS video stabilization option which should provide great video stabilization which helps to minimize unwanted shake to a very good extent while recording. To add dramic experience to your videos there is an option to record slow motion videos (1080p@120/240fps) & the overall quality should be very good.
Talking about image & video quality from 7MP front camera should be great overall (great in day light & pretty good in low light).

•6) Similar Battery = Similar Endurance (12.5/15)
Talking about battery life the battery capacity from its predecessor (IPhone 8) is same but with better & efficient Apple A13 SOC (Apple A10 on IPhone 8) while keeping same Retina HD screen resolution you can easily expect similar battery life from IPhone SE 2020. One place where it consumes more juice is during demanding graphic intensive performance where this IPhone SE 2020 features Apple's quad-core GPU (Apple's tri-core GPU on IPhone 8).
SOT (Screen On Time) : upto 6h Avg*.
Battery Life : upto 1 day Avg*.
*Above stats give you better understanding of the screen on time and battery life which you can expect in real world (Note : Battery life depends on one's usage (light/medium/heavy), task (video watching/gaming/camera) & network (wifi/5G/4G/3G). Based on one's usage, task & network above SOT & Battery Life will increase/decrease respectively.
