The Apple iPhone SE (2022) 64GB 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 750 in the UAE and ₹27,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone SE (2022) excels with its A15 Bionic chip delivering flagship-level performance, 5G connectivity across bands, and 20W wired charging that hits 50% in 30 minutes. Its 12MP main camera with OIS and PDAF captures sharp, stable photos in low light, outperforming most mid-range Android rivals. At 144g, it’s the lightest modern iPhone, ideal for users with small hands or those replacing aging iPhone 8s who need iOS 17 compatibility and NFC for contactless payments. Its weakness is the 2018mAh battery — despite a 62h endurance rating, heavy 5G use drains it by midday, and the 4.7-inch screen limits media immersion. In UAE at AED 750, it’s competitive because it’s the only 5G iPhone under AED 1000 with Apple’s ecosystem support. In India at ₹27900, it’s overpriced — the same budget buys a Redmi Note 12 Pro+ with 120Hz AMOLED, 200MP camera, and 67W charging, making the SE a nostalgic pick, not a smart upgrade.
