Wireless charging is supported and it features IP67 water and dust resistance so it will hold up to splashes and even brief submersions in water.As the iPhone SE is physically identical to an iPhone 8, it continues to feature thick top and bottom bezels which may seem absurd after using big bezelless displays. The top bezel houses the 7-megapixel front-facing camera and microphone while the bottom bezel includes a Touch ID Home button for fingerprint-based biometric authentication.
There's a single-lens 12-megapixel rear camera in the iPhone SE with an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization, and support for Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting. The iPhone SE it lacks the night mode too so it doesn't perform that well in low light situations, but there is Smart HDR, Wide color support, and more, plus an LED True Tone flash with Slow Sync capabilities.
The iPhone SE's camera can record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second with optical image stabilization and support for slow-mo video and time-lapse video, which I think one of the best video capabilities for which apple is know for. The front-facing camera supports Portrait Mode as well using the image signal processor and Neural Engine of the A13 Bionic.
If we talk about the powerhouse of the iPhone SE it is equipped with modern chip technology, featuring the same A13 Bionic chip as the iPhone 11, which Apple says is the fastest chip in a smartphone to date. The A13 Bionic has a dedicated 8-core neural engine that can perform 5 trillion operations per second, two Machine Learning Accelerators on the CPU, and a Machine Learning Controller for better performance and efficiency.
When it comes to battery life, the iPhone SE lasts for 13 hours when watching videos, eight hours when streaming videos, and 40 hours when listening to audio as per macrumors. It is capable of fast charging and can charge to 50 percent in 30 minutes when using an 18W power adapter or higher.Although apple doesn't include fast charger out of the box,some cost cutting which will make u shed some hard earned money if u are willing to go for fast charging .
The iPhone SE is available in three storage options - 64, 128, and 256GB. The 64GB model is priced at $399, the 128GB model is priced at $449 and the 256GB model is priced at $549.And for Indian consumer the 64GB model is priced at Rs 42500, the 128GB model is priced at Rs 47800 and the 256GB model is priced at Rs 58300.According to my perception its not that cheap in Indian markets.

Though the device design is dated, with its thick bezels, but the display is excellent and the build quality is solid. The A13 chip ensures super fast performance and years of software updates to come but for gamers it won't ensure good gaming experience because of 4.7’’ display which isn't good for the people who have used bigger screens.
Battery life is good, but not the champ like the Xr might be but it can go throughout the day but apple says its 1hr more than Xr.
Camera quality is excellent for a phone that price but not as great as compared to other, but it struggles somewhat in low light conditions. That's true of older iPhones, too. The iPhone SE is excellent as all others in bright light, producing color accurate, vivid pictures, and there's also the bonus of Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting.

Final verdict as per my view-
Frankly speaking Apple has done a great job by releasing iPhone se 2020 at such pocket friendly price .Definitely this is the phone to get if you just want a new iPhone, and one that will last you a few years, but don’t want to rob a bank or sell your valuable kidney. If you’re after ‘decent but not top-end’ performance, then that’s what the iPhone SE 2020 will offer you: there’s a good camera, enough power, and of course outdated design which is your prefernce,with lighter-weight design than the current iPhone 11 models. Battery life could be better, not the battery life champ like the Xr might be but it can go throughout the day but apple says its 1hr more than Xr. The screen tech is starting to age as Se has 720p screen resolution,doesn’t have double tap touch to wake and doesn’t get as bright as todays phones which isn't class leading with Pixel density 326 which is exact same as of Xr n 11.Its definitely a turn off for gamers because of 4.7’’ display not good for the people who have used bigger screens and that too with no bezelless display.OLD BODY NEW CHIP NEW CAMERA, speaking of camera it is good according to the price bracket but not one of the best camera out there as it lacks night mode.In a simple way its the body of iPhone 8 coupled with new camera n chipset from iPhone 11 i.e a13 bionic.Rear camera won’t disappoint but still if u compare with that price point there are number of good phones out there.But the 4k camera is the best on the market under 400$ price range.And some upgraders will miss the headphone jack; but overall shockingly performance is very good, longest life among any 400$ phone.Everything is good but not great of course its an apple bro .Best value phone from apple with really a long way ahead in terms of software updates and performance ,the smart improvements at this price definitely is one of the best iPhones Apple has ever made coupled with bulletproof apple privacy.But for the Indian consumer is this truly a value for money considering the starting price of Rs 42k...?There are many good options out there like budget phone with high refresh rate poco x2, budget phone with an amazing camera pixel 3a but these phones tend to have other sacrifices in other areas, other good options can be one plus 7t,asus rog phone 2 especially for gamers, realm x2 pro, real me x50pro .This is the budget iphone i.e SE 2020 that caters the brand name to the majority of people n for the privacy lovers.You can definitely go and buy the new iPhone SE if u have never owned one before as apple iPhones have far better life than the android counter part or you are a die hard apple fanboy.This is a steal deal for world wide consumers except the Indian community.If in India it would have been around Rs 30,000 it would definitely have blown out other competitors out of water.
Hope this review is helpful to you all
Love n Peace to all.
