The Apple iPhone SE (2022) 128GB is Apple's 2022 smartphone featuring a 4.7 inches, 60.9 cm2 (~65.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A15 Bionic (5 nm) chipset. It comes with a 2018 mAh battery. At AED 850 in the UAE and ₹31,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone SE (2022) excels with its A15 Bionic chip delivering flagship-level speed, 5G support across 18 bands including n77/n78 for UAE/India networks, and a 2018mAh battery rated for 62 hours of endurance. Its 12MP main camera with OIS and PDAF captures sharp, stable photos in low light. This is the phone for users who prioritize iOS updates, reliable 5G connectivity, and compact form factor over screen size—specifically those replacing aging iPhone 8s or SE (2020) with 4.7-inch preference. The weakness is the dated 60Hz LCD display and no high-refresh-rate or HDR video recording. In UAE at AED 850, it’s competitive because it’s the only new 5G iPhone under AED 1000 with Apple’s longest software support. In India at ₹31900, it’s overpriced; the same budget buys a Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with 120Hz AMOLED, 200MP camera, and 120W charging—making the SE a niche pick for iOS loyalists only.
