iPhone 11 vs iPhone SE 2020: Specifications and Features Comparison

Apple recently launched its iPhone SE 2020, which comes as a sequel to its 2016 iPhone SE model. The phone is aimed at budget-minded iPhone users who cannot spend 1,000+ dollars on phones like iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The new phone comes with an affordable price tag of $399.

iPhone SE 2020

It has many pros and cons when compared to Apple’s other devices like iPhone 11. iPhone SE has only one camera as opposed to 2 on iPhone 11 and 3 on iPhone 11 Pro Max. It gained a lot of praise and was equally criticized by tech YouTubers and analysts for the company not designing a new phone chassis and reusing the old iPhone 8’s design.

Let’s take a deeper look and compare iPhone SE 2020 to Apple’s last year’s release.

Conclusion

The most obvious difference in both phones are the size and display. iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch screen as compared to iPhone SE’s 4.7-inch display. iPhone 11’s screen is much sharper too. Furthermore, last year’s iPhone 11 has the upper hand in terms of camera performance, and features like night mode and deep fusion. Both phones are powered by the same A13 Bionic chip so in terms of performance, they are more similar than different.

The decision to chose between both smartphones is primarily based on price. If you can spend more money, iPhone 11 will provide more features, better battery life, and a stunning display. Meanwhile, if budget is a concern, you will get enough value for your money by getting an iPhone SE: flagship phone-like performance, stellar display, and benefits of iOS ecosystem.
