Design: What does the new "iPhone SE 2" (2020) look like?

The design of the "iPhone SE 2" (2020) is apparently based on the iPhone 8 with 4.7 inches, since it is said to fit in an iPhone 8 case. Apple fans will again get a very handy iPhone for relatively little money, even if the dimensions are somewhat larger in comparison. The housing is made of aluminum and glass. There is only one camera lens on the back and the home button is retained (with touch ID).

Otherwise, the new "iPhone SE 2" looks rather unspectacular. The display size of 4.7 inches, on the other hand, is spectacular, since almost no manufacturer nowadays uses such small smartphone displays. However, the demand for smaller devices still appears to be high.

Apple has significantly improved the hardware of the new "iPhone SE 2": An A13 chip from the iPhone 11 was installed, which was one of the fastest in early 2020. 5G does not have the new "iPhone SE 2".

Conclusion

In summary, the "iPhone SE 2" is an updated version of today's "iPhone SE", which is smaller than its current competitors, but still faster than an iPhone XR from 2019 - only without a headphone jack.
