iPhone SE (2020) Review | Four Months Later
Reviewing Apple’s iPhone SE 2020, four months after the original release, to see if this ‘value’ smartphone is a viable alternative to mid-range Androids. The likes of the Pixel 4A, OnePlus Nord and Moto G 5G Plus sadly outshine the iPhone SE in many ways, from camera performance to media chops and battery life. Here’s my real life experience with Apple’s ‘budget’ mobile, let me know yours below.
You can grab this phone from £419 SIM free or £39 on contract from Vodafone here in the UK:

To list the pros of this blower, I like the compact finish, and elements of the design. The display is too tiny for watching movies but visuals are crisp and colourful, while the stereo speakers impress. And with Apple’s A13 chipset on board, the iPhone SE 2020 is great for gaming.
However, the single lens camera is a relic, offering poor quality photos in less than good conditions. HDR snaps and night shots in particular are rubbish. Battery life is another big problem, as I rarely made it to bed without prematurely topping up that tiny cell.
I’m not a huge fan of iOS despite its many redeeming qualities, especially as iOS 13 seems more buggy than ever. Plus, there’s no headphone jack, no 90Hz refresh rate, no 5G support…
That’s my review of the iPhone SE 2020, but let me know your own thoughts down below!
Yeah, but those Android devices are Android devices. Apps are just better for iPhone. I’m saying this as an Android user!
If anything, I rate the wallpapers on his phone.
I feel like upgradig to this phone from the original SE which I currently have and love to use, but I feel like the new SE is a bit big :’D (ironically). I would literally still be happy with a 4" screen, but the lack of storage (16 GB) and the now worn out battery and soon-to-be outdated hardware is causing too much trouble.
IT JUST WOOOORKS
"…You feel the sweat trickling down your ass crack…" Priceless. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Thank you for the most epic review of a phone in recorded human history.
iPhone SE battery lasts long?
I remember when Apple and iOS was considered so modern and vogue and Android was a joke. This is one of the first times I’ve heard anyone comparing it to your stern grandpa. Is this the end for iOS?
3:33
da hell is that finger xD
Is it good or not
03:39 It just works! 🤣
That middle finger XD
I hope iphone se 2020 gets better on ios 14 onwards and bugs fix and I hope battery 🔋 gets better in time so battery gets better ….
Blaming Apple for Messenger app bug 🤦♂️ Thumb down
LOOOL that introoooo
Watching this on my SE2. I’m really happy so far. It just doesn’t let me down on anything I do with it. I really don’t like the newest large models. This is perfect. A steal for the price tbh
I just orderd an iPhone se for 2500 DKK its original price drumroll please
3000 DKK
So is it worth buying a pre owned iPhone 8 plus of eBay for the same price of a se20 with 1 years Apple warranty on the se.
You just made me buy iPhone se 2020 Thks for your Amazing intro
Is it worth being with apple rather than samsung as samsung don’t give software updates on any phone over 4 years old but apple do up to 6 years . Is this an issue . Does anyone have any info please .
The worst thing is the haptic home button. They make a button that doesn’t click so they make a fake click you cannot turn off. It is like designing a really quiet door with rubber bumpers, seals and quiet hinges then installing a speaker you cannot turn off which plays a squeak and a slam. Idiocy of the highest order.
I would die if he dropped the phone
As a normal android user I’m actually impressed with this phone. Size weight and performance is perfect. It does have a few bugs though and the sound isn’t that great but I got for free so no loss if I do choose to sell it 👍
Please don’t buy iPhone se2020 I am using since 4months there are lots of problem listed below you will face..
1.Battery drain super fast…every 1hour u need to charge
2.wifi always disconnecting automatically, 10metere distance you will not reach wifi connectivity mostly…..and many times I reset wifi setting still cannot fix the issue
3.video and audio call always chopping , if you have full strength of coverage only good clearity
4.Some keyboard features newly added in se2020 but I used that before 2years in oppo A37f
5.Dont belive this youtuber video, They marketing about phone and using device only for making video… This is my experience……Pls go for another Device
i stopped watching the vid when you called the pic on 08.29 better than the one taken by se. That one wasnt that good either but it seemed out of focus. the other one is horriibblle it looks like an overly filtered instagram post from 2012 yuck
Helpful, will look to leave apple methinks…
It looks about as compact as every other phone
You are a breath of fresh air among all the somewhat stiff reviewers!
Cool review. Great commentary
I hate how it costs fucking $600 here in Canada.
Him bashing the size of the phone/sceen and me looking at my Iphone SE (2016) which is even tinier… WELL
I’m mostly an android user. I didn’t want to pay for an apple music membership just so I could listen to my iTunes music that I’ve purchased over maybe the last 10 to 11 years so I felt it was a better idea to take out a contract
What android alternatives would you recommend?
You have such a delightful and beautiful language : )
In most of the battery drain test iphone SE is coming 4 to 5hours continuou usage for 1800 mAh battery.. other 4000 mAh is coming for 7 to 8 hours
So 1800 mAh is most powerful optimisation if same they might give at least above 2500 mAh iphone SE is the best phone for everyone
British humour is the best 🤣
This guy 😂😂
I know I should smack myself, because I just watched your review only two hours after buying the SE. First, the SIM tray is defective. I tried many angles with the tray picker. After over half a dozen tries, I finally opened it and figured it was just factory stiffness. I put in the SIM from my good old 6S but had to remove it for various reasons. Same desperate attempts. I managed to just get a partial fingernail under the tray and pulled it out. 2. Argh! No headphone jack, as you pointed out. I’m going back for a full refund and will suss out an old 6S at the e-cemeteries here in Bangkok. The Top Gear of phone reviews, mate!
My main reason for sticking with Apple is texting other Apple users is just easier. Everyone that I normally text uses Apple and grouping people together is easier.
Where is his accent from lol
Why even attempt to watch a movie on a phone anyway? I only watch movies on my iPad if I’m sleeping away from home otherwise I watch my movies on my living room tv through Apple TV or my 4k fire stick. That’s why I’ve never had a problem owning small phones. I’m currently using the original SE. I was choosing between the 12 mini and the SE. I’ve decided to go for the 2020 SE because I don’t like the protruding lenses at the back of the iPhone 12 range and I mostly use my phones for calls, YouTube and listening to music when I’m out and about.
I don’t know for SE or Plus varian from iPhone not impressive for me 🤔
If this phone was just $100 cheaper, I would’ve purchased it. Apple still doesn’t hit the Value mark especially when they try to compete with MID-RANGED Androids.
Came for the review. Stayed for the humor
Battery life kiya ha
1:35 good use of variety if language techniques
i think your making a big fuss over nothing.ive got a iphone se and it works fine no problems at all.maybe your reviewing a faulty phone.
Friggin’ hilarious
I love your review it’s funny and informative straight to the point and honestly made me buy the SE on OfferUp
I always get 💦 sweat on my arse crack lmao when I touch my iphone screen just in case I miss the part I want to copy or paste ….
Always enjoy your videos 😂👌
