The year 2020 did not exactly start with a happy vibe with so much going on around all of us. The virus is causing a huge outbreak in the world. And we all are stuck inside our houses. Although we all have been suffering the side-effects of lock down, Apple is not at all in the mood to back down. Oh! By the by, Apple unveiled its first smartphone of the year and it is different. The one complain that people had with apple is its price tag and Android smartphones giants comfortably made a smooth sweep in the segment where pricing was not an issue. We cannot compare the competition when it comes to android and Apple, since they both stand tall with totally different standpoints. But Apple did something very unexpected this time and launched the successor of 2016 iPhone SE. Not only that, the iPhone SE 2 is also going to compete with the its mid-range peers. It has been launched at the price point of 399$ globally and starts at INR 42,500 in India. That seems like a shocker at first but that is really true. Internet is going crazy on this move by Apple and why not, it has launched the right phone at the right time. It is a good news for people who look at mid-range smartphones as their daily driver. But if you are worried if there is a lot of compromise at the price point, you need to rethink about it. Let us tell you how it looks at the price range of $399. PROCESSOR If you are concerned about the performance, don’t be. Apple has taken care of it in a very special way for you. The iPhone SE 2020 sports the A13 Bionic processor which is the same processor as iPhone 11 Pro. So, now you get the latest processor for smooth performance and that is a commendable job done. SCREEN The latest iPhone comes with a 4.7 inch Retina HD LCD display with True Tone to match the ambient lightning in the room. Would be interesting to see the people review about the screen size. But it is probably going to be a compact phone for the year 2020 and in this price range. RAM AND STORAGE iPhone SE 2020 comes with a 3 GB RAM and 2.65 GHz Hexa Core processor for all round performance. It will be launched in three storage variants: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB. Looks good enough. CAMERA Camera is one of the most important factors of a smartphone these days and a disappointment in this area is a big loss to the manufacturer. The iPhone SE 2 has a 7-megapixel front shooter and 12-megapixel rear shooter which may not seem the best on paper. They have included some great hacks in the camera making it a premium quality offering. It comes with portrait mode for the front camera, thanks to the image signal processor and neural engine of the A13 bionic. The 4K video recording is also going to stay with you for better video experience with 60 fps. DESIGN Alright! Here comes the sad part. The design is a little outdated if you are very much adamant about having no bezels on your phone. The design at first reminds you of iPhone 8 and why not, it is exactly the same one. Fat bezels on either side might be a turn-off for people who are too much into look-and-feel. The other features very easily compensate the bezel with its performance-friendly spec sheet. Though the phone looks very strong on paper at the price point it is offered being an Apple phone, it will be really interesting to see how it turns out in the market. The response might be very overwhelming by all the Apple fans, but the performance of the phone will speak for it. We leave you here with what the iPhone SE 2 has offered on paper and it is your call to decide if you going to invest in the spec heavy phone or not. TECHIE Hey Tech Pals!
