    This is really bad 😢😢
    Not even an OLED display or 1080p display cheaper mid-range and even budget devices provide better display

    The screen size is really disappointing and the A13 bionic is useless as playing games on this small display is inconvenient.

    I was also expecting faster charging and battery life .
    Overall this device is disappointing for it's price

                  In my country (Indonesia),the price of Iphone SE 2020 128 gb storage is IDR 9 Million / US $ 600 !
                  That's why i always think twice to buy an iphone. The price is ridiculous.

                            Q, 18 Sep 2020No way in Hell that Apple will sell their 'regular... moreI used to do just that, and after like 20 android flagships.. I can say I am really happy with my first Iphone purchse (SE2020).

                            Everything is seamless. The 750p screen on my new SE looks better to me then the OLED on my OnePlus. So while you're right, any android OEM can make a cheaper supercharged phone.. they feel "incomplete/half baked" compared to iPhone and iOS. I never thought I'd be typing those words, but here I am. Apple is now at the point where I think they are worth the money. I didn't think that about them til this last 12 months though. The 11 Pro mex is really an amazing device and best for the money out currently. although if I had a choice between it and the Microsoft surface duo Id have a tough time choosing.

                              If it means anything. I’m a loooong time Android (flagship) buyer and the SE is my first real iPhone. I like it enough to have given my oneplus to my sister. This thing is perfection. It’s small, very powerful, and finally... a great camera that doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to take amazing photos with. If they hadn’t have made this phone no chance I’d have spent 800 on a 11 to find out

                                  Even though I generally find GSMARENA to be quite impartial in their reviews I fear that this particular one might be rather biased. I am interested in some good value for money proposals and I am between the iPhone SE (2020) and Pixel 4a. The overall rating for these two phones is 4 and 3.7 respectively, in favor of the SE. However, it feels like the pros of the SE are overemphasized with the cons are minimized. A glaring example of this is in the review of their batteries. Just look how the Pixel's performance is rated as 'about average' with 76h endurance while the iPhone is found to be 'good' with only 59h! I quote:

                                  Pixel 4a: "In our battery tests, the Pixel 4a did *okay*. It scored 76h overall in our tests with talk times of 22:45h, 11:48h of web time, and 12:17h of video playback. For 2020, these numbers are about average. We're seeing cheaper phones with 4,000mAh and even 5,000mAh batteries push past 100h of endurace scores."

                                  iPhone SE: "The iPhone SE posted **balanced** scores on our battery test - it can do about 10 hours of 3G calls, north of 13 hours of web browsing on a single charge, or you can watch videos for about 9 hours. The standby endurance turned out **above average** and thus the **good** but unremarkable overall endurance rating of 59 hours."

                                    Anonymous, 27 Jun 2020I'll advise you to wait for the iphone 12, almost the same ... moreNo way in Hell that Apple will sell their 'regular' model for cheap!
                                    Even the basic vanilla iphone 12 will be priced 650$.
                                    That's more than 1.625 times the price of basic SE2!

                                    For that price, u better buy Any flagship-killer Android which have several times battery longevity, 2times display resolution (QHD), better Audio quality, expandable storage, as well as dual SIMs!
                                    yet, you still have some change even after buying it, unlike iphone 12 where u have to buy the charger SEPARATELY!

                                        With a 4.7" screen and small battery it looks like it was designed as a replacement for the iPhone 4 fans.
