The Apple iPhone SE (2020) 128GB is Apple's 2020 smartphone featuring a 4.7 inches, 60.9 cm2 (~65.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A13 Bionic (7 nm+) chipset. It comes with a 1821 mAh battery. At AED 700 in the UAE and ₹24,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone SE (2020) excels with its A13 Bionic chip delivering flagship-level performance, 128GB storage for apps and media, and a 1821mAh battery rated for 59 hours of audio playback. Its 4.7-inch Retina HD display offers sharp 326 ppi clarity, ideal for reading and legacy app compatibility. This phone is for users who prioritize iOS longevity, need a compact form factor for one-handed use, and rely on NFC for contactless payments in UAE or India’s growing digital economy. Its weakness is the outdated 7MP rear camera—no OIS, no Night mode, poor low-light results—and the lack of 5G limits future-proofing. In UAE at AED 700, it’s competitive because it’s the cheapest iOS device with full iOS 17 support and NFC. In India at ₹24900, it’s overpriced: a Redmi Note 13 Pro+ offers 200MP main camera, 120Hz display, and 120W charging for ₹26999, making the SE’s premium iOS exclusivity hard to justify at this price.
