Evidence-based overview
Apple iPhone SE (2022) technical sheet
The iPhone SE (2022) suits buyers who want a small, light iOS phone. Its main trade-off is the 2018 mAh battery, which is among the weakest of its time, although 20 W fast charging and 7.5 W wireless charging are supported.
The body weighs 144 g and measures 7.3 mm thick, placing both figures among the best of its time. IP67 protection adds water and dust resistance. The 4.7-inch IPS LCD is easy to handle, but its 60 Hz refresh rate and 65.4% usable surface are among the weakest aspects of its era. The configuration shown has 4 GB / 64 GB; 4 GB / 128 GB and 4 GB / 256 GB versions also exist, with no expandable storage.
The Apple A15 Bionic achieves an AnTuTu result among the best of its time. The 12MP rear camera records 4K video and includes optical image stabilization, but its 1/5.99″ sensor is among the smallest and its resolution is worse than that of most phones from the same period. Connectivity is better than in most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC, eSIM and Dual SIM.
With a NeoScore of 4.5, the iPhone SE (2022) is best suited to buyers who prioritize compact size, low weight, performance and connectivity over a large battery or a modern display.
