Where to buy the new iPhone SE at the best price in 2020 and why?

At first glance, the iPhone SE looks exactly like theiPhone 8. And for good reason: the device uses a majority of components similar to those of its predecessor. And as the latter was already “cheap” compared to high-end models from Apple, we easily understand why the iPhone SE can also be purchased at a better price than other products in the same family. Especially since some pieces lose their value over time.

On the other hand, if the iPhone SE is not expensive, it is also because it is resolutely positioned as aAndroid-killer. Indeed, for a long time, when consumers have been looking for where to buy an iPhone at the best price, they sometimes find themselves unable to buy from Apple because iPhones are often much more expensive than alternatives with Google's OS, regularly less expensive. And therefore turn to the competition, Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi in the lead.

Fortunately, with the iPhone SE (2020), the term “cheap” now takes on its full meaning at Apple and iOS is now available at the best price. So here is acomparative, updated in real time, to know where to buy the reference with 64 GB of storage.

Recycled design of the iPhone 8 = cheap iPhone SE!

Among the factors that make it possible to find the iPhone SE at a better price than its premium counterparts, we find in particular its exterior design. Indeed,unlike the iPhone 11 Pro which is surrounded by stainless steel like the 11 Pro Max, the iPhone SE is made withaluminium, a much cheaper material. Furthermore, being more compact, it requires less time and material to be assembled.

On the other hand, as its dimensions are exactly the same as those of the iPhone 8, the iPhone SE probably did not require as many hours of work to imagine as some mobiles with a completely new appearance. The phone thus measures138,4 x 67,3 x 7,3 mm, which also allows it to fit in all pockets. Finally, the better price of the iPhone SE is also explained by Apple purchasing fingerprint sensors rather than more expensive TrueDepth cameras to support biometric unlocking of the device.

Screen: a technology that allows you to achieve a better price

If buying an iPhone SE in 2020 for cheap is possible, it is also because the panel itself of the device is what Apple was able to afford at the best price. Asian subcontractors are now offering fewer and fewer screensIPSfor smartphones, and brands are also focusing on OLED, which consumes less energy and displays better blacks, much deeper and more natural. But since most everyday users won't know the difference, Cupertino probably thought that theLCDwas a valid alternative. According to rumors, this is nevertheless the last time that an iPhone will have such a screen, since the editions which will succeed the iPhone SE will all be in OLED.

The complete technical characteristics of the screenRetinaof the iPhone SE, provided by the Apple store where we can find among its best prices, are the following:

• HD definition
• 625 nits brightness
• diagonals of4.7 inches
• pixel density of326 ppi
• 16 million displayable colors with True Tone
• contrast 1400:1
• Haptic Touch
• oleophobic coating and fingerprint resistance

Unfortunately, unlike certain Mac models, the seller does not offer to buy the iPhone SE in different screen sizes and you will therefore have to settle for this mini format only. But his measurements are also one of the reasons why he is notcheap.

The iPhone SE is not expensive, but very efficient

With a processorA13 Bionic and 3 GB of RAM, the iPhone SE doesn't look like that much of a productcheap, nickname too quickly associated withlow-cost. Its CPU, engraved in seven nanometers, is the same as the one that powers the iPhone 11 Pro, while its best price is worth at least double that of the iPhone SE. On the other hand, iOS is a software renowned for its fluidity, and the chip is powered by six cores, two of which are 2.65 GHz each, which is significant for an iPhone that you can buy for less than 500 euros.

In addition, the second generation iPhone SE is equipped with abattery 1 821 mAh. This is certainly not much compared to the competition of certain smartphones which exceed 4,000 mAh, but sufficient for a 4.7″ screen. And this is also what explains why the product is not expensive: the battery being the most imposing part of its structure, reducing its capacity also makes it possible to achieve a better price. But if you're looking for where to buy the iPhone SE (2020) and you like to travel, don't worry: its battery life lasts the day without any problem. Apple is talking about forty hours of audio playback, eight in video streaming or thirteen locally. Finally, charging is announced as very fast with 50% obtained in thirty minutes thanks to an 18 watt adapter.

Photos that match?

When we think of a cheap iPhone SE, we inevitably say that its better price may have an impact on its power in terms of imaging. And yet. With12 megapixels for its back sensor and 7 MPx on the front, the laptop is doing well and remains within acceptable standards. Many even consider that the race for high resolutions is not the only indicator that will affect the quality of the final shot.

Of course, you won't point to a photographer's store if you're asked where to buy the second iPhone SE. However, anyone who simply needs a companion to immortalize memories or family moments should not be disappointed by its camera. It also offers an f/1.8 aperture and agrand-angle, ideal for capturing landscapes or portraits with the dedicated mode (which automatically blurs the background). To finish with the photo, also note that even with a better price, the iPhone SE benefits from the powerful LED flash for nighttime which is integrated into the XR.
