IPhone SE (2020)

iPhone SE (2020) packs flagship power into a compact 4.7-inch Retina HD display that still slips easily into any pocket. The A13 Bionic chip—the same engine used in iPhone 11—handles multitasking, gaming, and 4 K/60 fps video capture with ease. Its single 12 MP wide-angle camera serves up Portrait-mode photos and Smart HDR, while the 7 MP FaceTime HD front camera keeps selfies sharp. A glass back enables Qi wireless charging, and the solid-state Home button with Touch ID, stereo speakers, and an IP67 water-/dust-resistant aluminum frame add security and durability. All-day battery life and fast-charging support round out a phone that runs the latest iOS features without breaking the bank.

If you miss one-handed phones—but still want flagship speed, Apple Pay security, and years of iOS updates—iPhone SE (2nd gen) is tough to beat. It offers up to 256 GB storage, five classic finishes (including PRODUCT RED), and remains one of the best-value entries into Apple’s ecosystem.
