An aspect of "for the better" design is that it can be comfortable in the hand and familiar to many people. On the bottom, the home button has a Touch ID, which is easy to use and easy to access, which of course means that in the colder months, when you wear gloves, there will be no Face ID. Apple boasts "the strongest glass in a smartphone," but it's surprising not to mention Ceramic Shield, which its latest flagship protects the iPhones from falling, which the company says is "harder than any smartphone glass" - so is it, Apple? Isn't Ceramic Shield technical glass? In addition to the technical features, the design is so easy to hold and operate with one hand and fits well in the pockets, so perhaps the risk of falling is slightly reduced.
"Worse" is that Apple's design is dated in a way that never leaves Android. If an Android smartphone maker tried to buy this design on a device for $ 429, it would be ridiculous on the face of the planet. Even the cheapest Android phones today have lost the thick edges you find on the iPhone SE 2022. For $ 429, I expect a large pixel-density OLED display on Android. While Apple supplies the same 4.7-inch, 1334 x 750 Retina IPS, it seems to have been in use for almost 8 years. Even the iPhone 7 offers the light of 625 rivets (well, but unsurprisingly), which is still offered here. Newer monitors are even better, and the slower pixel response time is actually a bit dazzling in some cases, such as scrolling. The iPhone SE 2022 will look less attractive if you know that the iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini are the same size (and the 12 mini may be cheaper if you fix it). Even next to my almost five-year-old OnePlus 5, the display of the iPhone SE 2022 is short.
The display is in the center of the phone and is a small two-edged sword. It's actually quite stimulating to have a show that is easy to control with one hand. But I really feel pressured by a lot of problems. The keyboard is sharp in both vertical and horizontal positions, and web pages are difficult to view at the same time. When a video or pop-up window appears on the screen, the game is almost over until it closes, and the small buttons may be difficult to access.
For people whose priority is a small phone, maybe that's it. For people whose priority is price and a good screen is a big part of this comparison, the iPhone SE 2022 is absolutely not. Streaming videos on your phone is cramped, with little detail and no smudges with an infinite OLED contrast ratio. Although the speakers offer decent sound, they get quite creaking at higher volumes and it's much easier not to cover them with one hand.
In addition to appearance and display, the iPhone SE 2022 has its Lightning port in the same old place, supports wireless charging (again iPhone 8), lasts 30 minutes under a meter of water (well, but far from six meters managed by iPhone 12 and 13 or two meters with iPhone 11 ).
A really big accessory for the iPhone SE 2022 is 5G support. This new model can connect to a 5G Sub-6 network with operators operating throughout the area, although not mmWave. Perhaps the most important advantage is that the iPhone SE 2022 will have better support with age. It doesn't need a lot of 5G bandwidth to stream 4K video or anything like that.
The iPhone SE 2022 runs on iOS 15, Apple's latest mobile operating system. It provides this software with parity, if not function parity, even to the most expensive iPhones, and that's no small advantage. Apple's long-standing support for their devices will help customers use the phone for long periods of time without having to upgrade just because software updates - and instead security updates - are stopped when they arrive on the device. The phone also supports Focus Mode to eliminate interruptions (although the Silent Mode hardware switch also helps there) and fast dictation via Siri with device processing. It's relatively fast and accurate, but pale compared to Google's recent dictation offer on the Pixel 6 line. Apple's dictation is as poor in punctuation as its touch keyboard, which is somewhat impressive on Google.
Although the design of the iPhone SE 2022 in 2006 is a Honda Civic, the A15 Bionic chip is inside a new, supercharged V8 engine, except that it is fuel-fast according to this metaphor. Unfortunately, there is not much space in the suitcase with a luggage capacity of only 64GB
Apple's latest chip is powerful, although it's not a big leap to the A14 Bionic chip that preceded it. The A15 is a robust chip with a six-core CPU, a quad-core GPU and a 16-core neural motor. She checked everything on the iPhone 13 and asked to do an even less heavy lifting of the iPhone SE 2022. Of course, that's the question: why was it loaded? It does not create mental mixes between multiple cameras, high-quality game processing at high resolution and frame rate. Sure, it will shock the phone, but so will the A13 Bionic on the iPhone SE 2020. This display looks good in the sky of Thatgamecompany, which runs smoothly in high performance mode. But that's not surprising, as it barely displays more than 720p visuals. However, the phone is quite hot, all processing takes place and very little mass to dissipate heat. This show is also hard to praise when it airs on such a standard show. I used the less powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset for more impressive results on the same cheap phones like the Black Shark 4 for $ 499 and the Poco F3 for ~ $ 300, which lifts its leg due to large, fast AMOLED displays, and none of the phones are new.
A small battery also needs intervention if it is actually exposed to a workload. Just 30 minutes of playing Sky with a screen with a brightness of 50% drained as much as 20% of the battery. Streaming TV movies is less battery-friendly because the 35-minute episode of Our Flag Means Death absorbs only 5% of the screen battery and the volume is set at approximately 50%. With normal use, smashing and a bit of browsing all day, the phone will last for a whole day or even two, so that regular phone users do not fail. Often, new iPhone cameras are exciting. After all, they have some of the latest software upgrades thanks to Apple's impressive processors. This is not the case here. The iPhone SE 2022 has a standard camera on the back and another on the front. Clarity really comes in because the rear and front cameras capture sharp images with lots of detail. They take a rear camera with a resolution of 12 MP, while the front camera is more modest but acceptable at 7 MP. There is no extra zoom or ultra-wide angle lens, so the shooting options of the iPhone SE 2022 are even more limited. Without the various lenses that come together, the iPhone SE 2022 doesn't allow the A15 Bionic to stretch its legs using multiple camera features such as Cinematic mode.
Instead, what the camera does best is some Deep Fusion that does fine detail a little more, use SmartHDR4 (although I didn't notice it animating my images) or use Apple photo styles that are smaller than interchangeable. , custom photo filters. Sometimes those beautiful details seem to be processed, because all the details in one of my swamp photos seem to have their differences. Android phones have fast performance in low light. Apple's extensive and robust image processing looks at it, helping to avoid noise with a lot of blur at high exposures. It helps not completely outperform the Pixel 5a 5G in the camera department (although the upcoming Pixel 6a may be something else), but it's not a good display. In all the years that Apple has been working on phones with this design, it never really knows how to give the second rear camera that the Plus models receive?
Video recording is still a force here. Although the capabilities are still limited by the rear sensor, the A15 Bionic has no problem taking 4K60 shots. I always see cheap phones trying to record in higher quality here and there, but the iPhone SE 2022 does not. So whether you want to catch your pet with something funny or a friend with something stupid, the video continues. That is, but the phone is for the most part so simple that it needs most of that show. Two years ago, the new iPhone SE may have made sense, but now Apple's "mini" iPhones fit into a small form with state-of-the-art design and other features. . Thanks to this, the iPhone SE 2022 feels like it is for people who want the cheapest new phone
