    My new SE replaced my iPhone 7. The latest A13 Bionic processor in the SE, makes it noticeably faster and smoother. If you previously owned a smaller iPhone, the new SE with it's 4.7" screen will feel very familiar. Also the smaller form factor makes it easy to use with only one hand. In spite of the 12 MP back camera having only one lens, the photo quality (color, exposure, bokeh, low light performance) is much better than my iPhone 7. Overall, the second generation SE is a great value for the money.

    The iPhone SE (2nd generation) performance and affordability is a good options for me, a reliable smartphone without breaking the bank. Some reviewers have noted that the design is somewhat dated and the display is not as high-resolution as some other smartphones on the market. However, for the price, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) offers good value for money.

    I love this phone been using it for a year and no issues at all, it’s fast, small, and does everything. If you want a better camera sure spend more on a high end Apple phone but the double the cost doesn’t get you much, and no face mask issues this phone has Touch ID not face ID

    Replaces an IPhone 6e that has a failing battery, (and costs less than the 6e). Speed and photos more impressive, colors vibrant. I’m not impressed about the battery. While I can go all day on an overnight charge, I suppose I expected more. (I’m a gamer and play frequently throughout the day, Pokémon Go and Harry Potter WU). Hope this battery doesn’t start failing soon. Hate having to carry around a battery pack.

    I absolutely love my phone. I always go for the SE version I’m it’s largest storage capacity. It’s such a fantastic phone. And I don’t miss any of the garbage that comes with the versions that hit you with at least double the price tag.

    Good Upgrade and Price

    I was finally ready to move up from the smaller screen original iPhone SE and this was the obvious next phone to have. I'm delighted with it. The screen is not just bigger but has a better picture quality so it's easier to see what's happening. Watching small figures and a ball during football highlights is a whole new experience. The sound quality is better too, I can now clearly hear individual instruments when listening to good quality recordings. Colleagues have commented on how much clearer the camera is during video conferencing. Also the quality of taken photos is so much clearer. There are new features such as portrait mode that blurs the background to emphasise the subject. Essentially it's similar to earlier IPhones but better is many ways.

    My iPhone 6 was finally unable you support my Apple Watch for further updates, and I jumped at the chance to purchase an Apple Watch SE 2020. I chose the mid-range storage level with 128Gb. The camera is fantastic and the build quality is superb. I'm very pleased with my decision.

    Me and my brother got this for my mom for her bday! It’s her first smart phone so we figured it would be better for her to start off with a phone with a home button and she loves it! And it was so affordable. Recommend if you want to upgrade but can’t afford the more expensive iPhones!

    If you use your phone simply for a few apps, camera, texting and calling - this is the phone to get. No need to pay over $1000 for the latest and greatest. Battery is great too. I do take a lot of pictures so the 128 GB is recommended

    Bought to replace my faithful aged iPhone 5c. It is small enough to fit in my pocket and new enough to actually run my apps. In addition it is fast, familiar interface, more storage and takes better pictures. And I didn't have to pay more than $400. Very happy.

    Sadly, my old iPhone SE gave up. It didn't like the update to 14. So I had to get a new phone. At first I was looking at the 12 but just couldn't justify the price for my needs. So I decided that the new SE 2nd gen would fill the bill at a much more justifiable price point. I am struggling a bit with the slightly bigger size. Typing on the keyboard is challenging my muscle memory from typing on the older, smaller SE. But overall the new phone integrated very well into my life. So really, really pleased with this phone. BTW, I was concerned that I would have to get the Verizon locked version. But the wonderful woman at my local Best Buy assured me that if I pulled the chip out of my old phone the everything would work out fine. She offered to do the swap, too. But I wanted to doit at home and it worked out perfectly.

    The new (2020) SE is the best iPhone value ever. Performs as good or better than an iPhone 8, has decent memory (128gb) and a good camera system. For the price, it's a no brainer, especially for someone like myself that doesn't need a large screen phone.

    I love this phone. It's slightly larger than the iPhone SE, basically there is an extra "row" on the screen. I've had an iPhone SE for many years and after getting so many comments on my "small phone" and the fact that my storage was full, I decided to upgrade to the new iPhone SE 2nd generation. Transferring to the new phone was seamless and this is quite an upgrade. The phone is thinner, but has a bigger screen -- basically there is an extra 'row' for icons . It feels great in hand and is very fast. I love it!

    Love my new phone that replaced my iPhone 6. The camera is very high quality and speed and battery life much improved over the 6. I'm also happy with the size, which is the same as the iPhone 8. I had no desire for a mini-tablet sized phone.

    iPhone SE 2nd = A Winner

    If you are familiar with the iPhone 6, 6S, 7, or 8, then this iPhone will feel like home to you. With the processing power of the A13 Bionic chip, it carries the same power as the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro with the exception that the iPhone SE 2nd Gen has 3GB of RAM opposed to the 4GB of RAM that is on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. While many may say that this iPhone is too small to their liking, I find this device to be the perfect size for me. Volume gets quite loud, vibration is strong, I am able to use the accessories that I had with my 6S and 7 for this device. I'm looking to using this iPhone for a couple of years or more!

    To stay in the iPhone ecosystem, the price and capabilities of this phone are unbeatable. With one of the newest chips available, you can avoid planned obsolescence as long as possible. And if you need a small form factor, this is it.

    Very happy with this phone. Needed something for my 80 year old Father. He had a 1st generation SE, that was starting to show it’s age. Didn’t want to spend a ton of money, nor move to a format that was different than what he was used to (full screen/no home button). The phone is a little longer than the model he had, but he’s ok with that. (Like to keep it in his shirt pocket). All in all, great deal for the price. He’s got longer battery life again, and a little bigger screen to use. He’s happy, I’m happy.

    I really like my IPhone SE 2nd generation. I previously had an IPhone 6 S. It was a smooth transition. It is a little more compact than the 6S. I can easily slip into the back pocket of my blue jeans. The quality of the photos is quite good. I especially like the great price for an IPhone. Nice upgrade!
