      That's weird. Yesterday iPhone se reviews started on YouTube and I saw a geekbench test showing it score on single and multi core tests identically to the iPhone 11's.
      Here's a video, the test is around 08:16 mark

        And what is the point of releasing phone with a13 which is underckocked and which should be best selling point of this phone? They could make it thicker with at least 2000 mah battery but with full potential of a13 soc.When u put phone in a case there is not difference in thickness.

          Clearly Apple had to make some compromises to make this phone more affordable than their top on the line Smartphones, an underwealming battery capacity that powers a powerful SoC just shows you that you can't have your cake and eat it.

            Well, you can get a Xiaomi Mi 9 (unsealed), with 24 months warranty, in Czech Republic for about 300EUR. Even cheaper if you can get one refurbished.
            And if I am not mistaken the SD855 inside has about 450.000 points in Antutu.
            But then again, is not about raw performance, is about the optimization of the system. Sadly, Android phones (with very few exceptions), work very good for about 1, max 2 years. Or until one major system update comes to the phone. Then is good afternoon, good evening and good night.

              There is no excuse for under clocking CPU without notice to users. I would be first one to buy for performance of A13 but as for now i will not. That was only thing that was driving me to buy it

                Nice to see positive comments on this topic. And I agree with those. If lower clock speed would result in longer battery life and still excellent performance, why not? Apple has made the right decision in this case.

                  That is fine. I guess this phone is not aimed at anyone looking to do some hardcore gaming anyway. And it will be more than powerful to handle some multi tasking and app switching. My iPhone 7 still works like a breeze.

                    Battery life has always been a concern for the smaller iPhones. Underclocking the CPU was done to keep it from running down the small battery. A12 speed is still decent for a cheapish phone.
