iPhone SE 2 (iPhone 9) Renders Surfaced: iPhone 8-Like Design & Frosted Glass Back

iPhone SE is Apple's last compact smartphone, which was first launched in 2016. The phone has a design inspired by the iPhone 5s, while the hardware configuration has many similarities to the iPhone 6s.

Despite being criticized for having the old design and hardware configurations, the iPhone SE has quite impressive sales, contributing significantly to Apple's current success. In addition, there are also many users who still love the iPhone SE with a compact design and are looking forward to the arrival of the iPhone SE 2 - the successor to the iPhone SE expected to launch this year.

According to recent reports, the iPhone SE 2 still has the old design language of Apple, but it may appear with the new name, iPhone 9. Based on leaked information, famous leaker @OnLeaks has created a series of renders of this phone and share it online, thereby giving us a clearer view of the design of the device before its launch.

The iPhone SE 2 (or iPhone 9) is expected to have a small 4.7" LCD screen, dimensions of 138.5x67.4x7.8 mm and a rear camera protruding 0.8mm from the back. Although there are many similarities in design with the iPhone 8, the iPhone SE 2 is rumored to have a frosted glass back instead of the glossy back, which is quite similar to the iPhone 11 Pro.

In terms of camera, the handset will be equipped with a single camera at the back. In addition, a series of new renders also confirms the phone will have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor and a physical home button. At its core, the device will carry the hardware power from Apple's A13 Bionic SoC and is expected to have a larger capacity battery.

According to predictions, the iPhone SE 2 (or iPhone 9) will be released in the first quarter of 2020. At the moment, there is no information on the exact name of the device. Obviously, the "9" suffix sounds reasonable and feels like a successor to the iPhone 8. Of course, Apple could absolutely use the name "iPhone SE 2", making it easier for users to know that it is a successor to the iPhone SE.
