- What's up guys.
Saf here on SuperSaf TV
and we've got the brand new,
iPhone SE 2020 edition, in the house.
This is the cheapest, brand-new iPhone
you can buy right now.
Lot's of hype around it,
let's go ahead, get it unboxed
and see what it's got to offer.
So at the front of the box we do have a picture
of the front of the iPhone
and it's got the iPhone logo on the left and right
as well as the Apple logo on the top and the bottom.
Out of the plastic.
All right.
Designed by Apple in California.
And here is the device,
wow that, feels, so, so small.
It's so weird because I'm so used to iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Now as well as the iPhone SE,
you do get a bit of paperwork.
You get a SIM card tool.
There's a Product Red leaflet
because this is the Product (RED) edition.
For those of you guys who don't know,
Apple works with the charity (RED)
and a portion of the sales from Product (Red) items
from Apple do go towards HIV and AIDS programs.
However, for the time being,
they are going to be going towards COVID-19 programs.
So, definitely a good thing.
Inside the box as well, we have a USB to Lightening cable.
Some Lightning EarPods
as well as a five watt powerbrick.
Now the iPhone SE 2020 does support fast charging
but that charger is sold separately
and it also does support Qi wireless charging.
Now let's get to the iPhone itself
and let's get rid of the plastic.
I really can't get over how small this is,
I've not used a small phone like this
for such a long time.
And just to give you some perspective
here is my iPhone 11.
You can just see the size difference.
This also feels so much lighter,
it's only around 148 grams.
Now this is the (RED) version of course
but there is also a black version
as well as a white version available.
We've got an aluminum frame
with glass here on the back.
It's quite a premium but in the words of my friend
JerryRigEverything, "Glass is glass and glass can break."
So I definitely recommend picking up a case for this
from our video sponsor Spigen.
I've been using Spigen cases myself for many, many years
and my personal favorite is definitely the Liquid Air
which is minimal and provides a good balance
between size and protection.
But they've got a huge variety of cases for the iPhone SE
including for the first time, some red cases.
I'll leave a link in the description below
if you want to pick up a Spigen case for your iPhone SE.
Now the new iPhone SE is IP67 water and dust resistant,
and yes, it looks pretty much the same as the iPhone 8.
It's exactly the same in terms of the dimensions,
the button placements, the camera placement.
One of the new things that we've got is that the Apple logo
is now more towards the center
to match the newer iPhones
and if we look towards the front, once again,
pretty much the same as the iPhone 8.
One of the things that we have this time
is that across the board all of the colors
now have a black front,
we don't have a white front anymore.
And yes, we have those bezels.
Now I know there's going to be lots of people going crazy
in the comments saying,
how can you have these big bezels in 2020?
Well if you're somebody who's complaining about that then,
this phone probably isn't for you.
I'm taking a look at this display,
it is a 4.7 inch retina HD display
and it does have the same pixel destiny, 326.
The same contrast ratio
as well as the same peak brightness, 625 nits,
as the iPhone 11.
The biggest difference however
is that you do have a much bigger screen to body ratio
on the iPhone 11 compared to the iPhone SE.
Now honestly speaking,
I think the target audience for this device,
coming in at this cheaper price point
probably won't really care about the bezels.
One advantage, shall we say,
that you do get with having these bezels
is that there is Touch ID.
So we've got the fingerprint scanner here,
on the home button.
Now, I do really like Face ID
but you guys have probably heard me say before
that I do prefer a physical fingerprint scanner
which is just more convenient, much faster,
works in many more situations.
If you've got a mask on for example,
Face ID is not going to work, if you are in bed
and your face is halfway sunken in the pillow,
once again, Face ID's not going to work
but you're going to be able to use Touch ID,
so you can kind of see that as a positive.
Now although the outer shell
is pretty much the same as the iPhone 8,
the biggest improvement that we've got is on the inside.
This is powered by the Apple A13 bionic chip
and this is the same chip that's in the iPhone 11,
the iPhone 11 Pro, as well as the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Now those phones are priced much higher than this,
especially if you look at
the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max,
they're more then twice, maybe two and a half times
more expensive than this
so it is quite impressive to see that level of chip sets
on this device and that means
things are going to be very, very smooth, along with iOS 13.
And also this, in terms of software and performance,
is going to last you a decent amount of time.
In addition to that you do get camera improvements
because the A13 has its image signal processor,
so it's going to be able to process images much better
than the iPhone 8 did.
Front-facing camera is seven megapixels,
it can film at up to 1080p.
It also supports portrait selfies,
which we didn't have on the iPhone 8
and the rear-facing camera is 12 megapixels,
it can film up to 4K at 60 frames a second,
supports extended dynamic range
at 4K up to 30 frames a second.
It also support portrait mode
which works for people, not objects
but these are features that are now enabled
thanks to the A13 bionic chip.
Definitely let me know if there's a SuperSaf Style
camera comparison that you'd like me to do
of the iPhone SE and let me know which device
you'd like me to put this up against
in the comments below.
Now I'm not sure of the exact size of the battery in here.
I assume it's similar to the iPhone 8,
so it's not going to last you the same amount of time
as the iPhone 11s
but because it does have the A13 bionic chip,
that is quite power efficient
so we'll see how long this lasts.
We do have stereo speakers,
there's one bottom firing and there's one in the ear piece.
And this is available
in three storage versions, 64, 128, and 256 gigabytes.
They are of course at different prices
but this starts at 419 pounds or $399
and for that reason,
I think this is going to be selling very, very well.
And if the iPhone 11s are outside of your budget
then this is going to be a much more affordable option.
I would however recommend going for the 128 GB version
just so you don't have to worry about storage going forward.
It is around $50 or 50 pounds more.
And that is the iPhone SE 2020.
What do you guys think about it?
Are you going to be picking one up?
And what coverage would you like me
to do with it going forward?
Definitely let me know in the comments below.
