iPhone SE 2020 Will Go On Sales In India From 20 May For As Low As Rs. 38,900

The iPhone SE 2020 will finally go on sales in India for as low as Rs. 38,900. The highlight of this phone is, of course, Apple's A13 Bionic SoC (used on the iPhone 11).

Apple introduced the iPhone SE 2020 last month as the cheapest model in the brand’s current lineup. The phone didn’t go on sales in India right after its launch due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Now, since the lockdown has been relaxed in several regions across the country, Apple is now planning to start releasing the iPhone SE 2020 for the Indian market. Giant retailer site Flipkart has now created a landing page for the phone. According to the listing, the iPhone SE 2020 India sales will start from 20th May.

iPhone SE 2020: Specifications & Features

Unexpectedly, the iPhone SE 2020 has the same design as the iPhone 8 as we reported in our previous articles. The front of the device is a thick bezel display with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor mounted on the home button. Its back is made of glass and the frame is made of metal. The only difference between the iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 8 is the Apple logo placement, which is moved down to the middle, like the iPhone 11.

It has pretty much the same design as the iPhone 8.

Its screen has a 4.7-inch size and IPS LCD technology, just like the iPhone 8. Unfortunately, the SE 2020 does not have a "Plus" version, meaning that users who prefer large-screen smartphones will be less interested in this device.

The iPhone SE 2020 also inherits iPhone 8’s water resistance. IP67 certification allows this phone to survive underwater at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. The handset is offered in three color versions: Black, White, and Red.

The most valuable feature of iPhone SE 2020 is performance. With the same Apple A13 Bionic chip as the top-end iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max, this new affordable iPhone easily becomes one of the best performance smartphones available today, surpassing many premium Android smartphones.

The phone is equipped with a single camera with 12MP resolution and f / 1.8 aperture. It's impossible to confirm that this new model's camera is the same as the iPhone 11 or iPhone XR, but it should offer the same or better photography experience as the iPhone 8.

An upgrade of the iPhone SE 2020 that many Indian users would be interested in is that this model supports two SIMs, which is said to include one eSIM (electronic SIM) and one physical SIM. In addition, it supports the new and fastest Wi-Fi 6 standard.
