The rear camera offers a single 12 MP sensor linked to a f/1.8-aperture lens with phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and optical image stabilization (OIS). It’s not short on power, thanks to Apple’s latest A13 Bionic chip under the hood it’s available in 64/128/256GB fixed storage capacities, and has a battery that lasts for around 13 hours of video playback. It features a 4.7-inch LCD display with IPS technology, and the handset is IP67-rated for splash, dust, and water resistance. Launched in April 2020, the iPhone SE (2020) is Apple’s second-generation update of their smaller, cheaper, and popular SE smartphone. For more information, please see our article about preview, trustability and other version 4 updates of the DXOMARK Camera test protocol. We have retested this device using the new version 4 of the test protocol and produced this completely updated review.

Version 4 now includes image preview tests and a wide range of new test scenes as part of our new trustability evaluation which measures the camera’s ability to deliver consistent still image and video quality across all shooting scenarios.

Please note: In October 2020, we updated the DXOMARK Camera test protocol.
