Opinion
Apple’s Iphone SE is a nice phone with a nice price. Functionally, it does almost everything that the larger models can handle, except for some video and photo functions. With that said, both Iphone SE films and records what can be expected. And Apple’s A15 Bionic is a lightning fast processor.

Apple launched a third generation of the entry-level model Iphone SE during the event last week and now we have a midnight black device for the test lab. Do not miss our video above where you can see more of it.
The outside is still similar to its predecessor with a design borrowed from the Iphone 8 – something as unusual as a one-handed phone that fits really well in the hand with its slightly rounded edges.
The LCD screen measures 4.7 inches and offers good colors and True Tone, but we have to jump up to Iphone 13 Pro for Promotion with up to 120 Hz refresh rate.
On the inside, most things are new. Iphone SE sticks to Touch Id and edges at the top and bottom of the screen, but it now has the same six-core A15 processor found in Iphone 13 and support for 5g. In terms of performance, it places itself in the top league, but without costing as the flagships.
On the back is a camera and flash. You get a 12 megapixel wide-angle lens with support for Smart HDR 4, photographic styles, Deep Fusion and portrait mode. On the front, you get a 7 megapixel camera that is great for video calls and selfies.
Some sample images from the rear camera:
You can choose between three colors and three sizes of storage. Midnight (dark blue / black), star shine (white) and red. 64 gigabytes costs SEK 5,695. Add money and choose between 128 or 256 gigabytes.
In the video, we incorrectly say that it lacks optical image stabilization – it has!
The new Iphone SE is suitable for anyone who wants something that goes down in their pockets and can be handled with one hand, but it is also a suitable handset for children, or for mass purchases for employees who do not want Android. Those interested in photography will get good pictures with this one too, but probably want to step up to Iphone 13 or 13 Pro with more lenses and features.
