iPhone SE (2022)

 

The iPhone SE 2022 is both a roaring success and a missed opportunity. Find out why in our full in-depth review.

The fastest phone at this price (by some distance) ; Takes great daylight pictures ; IP rating and wireless charging ; iOS and all the benefits that come with it

Small screen is cramped and restrictive ; Tired design ; No night mode in the camera

The iPhone SE 2022 is both a roaring success and a missed opportunity. Internally, this dinky phone makes a strong proposition with top-drawer performance and years of software updates ahead of it. It’s just a shame the same old design and tiny display...

iPhone SE (2022) review: a great cheap iPhone, but with limits

 

The iPhone SE (2022) gets some high-tech upgrades, and now offer the full iOS experience

Very fast processor ; 5G connectivity ; Tough, premium glass design ; Very strong camera

Single rear camera & no Night mode ; Older design still clinging on ; Unimpressive battery life

The iPhone SE (2022) continues Apple's run of delivering cutting-edge innards for a cut-price iPhone. The camera is alarmingly good in most circumstances, and the A15 chip will make sure this phone gets updates for years to come. While the small size...

iPhone SE (2022) review

 

Under-the-hood upgrades give Apple's classic design yet another lease of life

Powerful for the cost ; A 5G iPhone that's still affordable ; Thin and lightweight design

Starts at only 64GB storage ; Screen is cramped ; More expensive than SE 2

Apple iPhone SE (2022) review: Should you buy the entry level iPhone?

 

Are updated internals enough when the design remains the same? Here's our review of the new Apple iPhone SE (2022).

Affordable with flagship power ; Excellent performance ; Solid camera results ; Good battery life ; Touch ID is still great tech ; Punchy display ; 5G capabilities ; Some photography iPhone 13 features ; Excellent software experience

Old design ; Poor low light camera performance ; Single camera ; No display changes ; No MagSafe

If you can afford to stretch your budget to the Apple iPhone 13 mini, we'd recommend it over the iPhone SE (3rd generation) any day of the week, but as an entry-level iPhone, the third generation SE is a solid performer and a great upgrade option - you...

iPhone SE 2022 review

 

The iPhone SE may be Apple's cheapest iPhone, and one of its most powerful, but with a dated design and dreadful display it's not good value

Latest Apple chip ; Wireless charging ; IP67 water-resistance

Dated design ; Awful LCD display ; Only one rear camera ; Poor value

The iPhone SE only makes sense for buyers who simply have to have an iPhone, but can’t afford the step up to the 12 Mini – or won’t give up on Touch ID just yet. If that’s you, then the iPhone SE will serve you well so long as you can stomach the dinky...

Apple iPhone SE 2022

  (Rating Hidden)

The iPhone SE 2022 has a tempting price and is the first mid-range phone from Apple to launch since 2020. It has the same processor as on the flagship iPhones, but will there be other compromises that prevent it being a Best Buy? Find out in the full...

Apple iPhone SE (2022) review: The bare necessities

 

The newest iPhone SE lacks the appeal of the fancier iPhone 13 series phones, but there's still a lot to like and admire. Less is sometimes more.

Fantastic performance ; Camera is good in most light ; Takes nice 4K videos ; Excellent build quality ; Guaranteed software update for years ; Genuinely great value

Dated design ; Battery life isn't great ; Small screen ; No Night Mode ; No headphone jack

iPhone SE (2022) vs iPhone 13

 

Looking to get a new iPhone? Here's the differences between the inexpensive iPhone SE (2022) and its more expensive sibling, the iPhone 13.

At just under half the price of the iPhone 13, the new SE is still a great bargain, especially with the hugely powerful A15 Bionic processor and 5G connectivity. It does feel like one revision too many though, with the design something of a curiosity...

Should you buy the new iPhone SE (2022) or an iPhone 12?

 

The new iPhone SE (2022) goes head to head with the iPhone 12, as we help you decide which is the best low-price phone for your needs.

The iPhone 12 is a superior phone overall. It has better cameras, display and design, plus a processor that isn't far off that of the A15 Bionic Apple bestowed on the iPhone SE (2022). But the price tag is hefty in comparison, which makes the iPhone SE...
