Apple iPhone SE 2020 Price in Singapore & Specifications

After releasing several large phones over the past few years, who knew the iPhone SE would make a comeback in a new shell and much-upgraded features? For smartphone users who absolutely prefer compact phones to oversized models, the iPhone SE 2 is a perfect pick that has some integral components in the iPhone 11.

What’s New in Apple iPhone SE 2

Design and Display

Looking at the case of the iPhone SE 2, it bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone 8 in terms of the curved edge, size and glossy finish. Instead of multiple-lens rear camera and Face ID, this state-of-the-art smartphone still has a single-lens rear camera and home button with a fingerprint sensor for Touch ID intact on the device. Like all other newer Apple iPhone models, no built-in headphone jack can be seen - a hint for Apple users to acquire a pair of Apple AirPods.

A13 Bionic Chip

Under the hood, it is powered by the most efficient processor thus far, as seen in the iPhone 11 series - A13 bionic chip that beats Android devices’ Snapdragon 865 in several benchmark testings. While you’re contemplating whether to upgrade your first-generation iPhone SE to its successor, here are major reasons that may convince you to upgrade your phone.

Fast and Wireless Charging, 3GB RAM, Bluetooth 5.0

The iPhone SE 2 is integrated with Qi-certified wireless charging, as well as fast charging capability that allows the phone to refill its battery juice from 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes via an 18W fast-charge adaptor. Besides, other few upgrades such as 3GB RAM and Bluetooth 5.0 are nice additions to the phone. The former enables you to enjoy graphic-intensive entertainment with ease, while the latter makes audio sharing with friends more fun as this new iPhone SE can be connected to two devices at the same time, eg. two different headphones or AirPods while you and your friend are watching the same video.

Final Verdict

In a nutshell, the iPhone SE 2 tells us one thing - don’t judge a book by its cover. As ordinary as it may look from the outside, it is a budget Apple phone that houses all the essential software and advanced camera features found in many flagship phones. If professional photography isn’t your main concern, then the iPhone SE 2 does the job for your everyday tasks very well.
