New iPhone 5 SE. Detailed Overview and Apple iPhone SE Testing. Compatibility with the Apple Pay payment system

Hello, dear friends!
Finally, you can forget about each hearing about the new iPhone 5 SE, which by the time Apple's presentation began to bother about. Today in the review we will deal - what the new-old iPhone SE became the same (this is the name of the model, and not how erroneously many of it is called the iPhone 5 SE or iPhone 6 SE), we will analyze the work of Apple engineers, and find out the device oriented device, and It differs from iPhone 6S.

After Greg Dzhozviak came to the scene and showed new iPhone SE, I just ohrenel. Apple marketers made a brilliant thing: they are in iPhone housing 5s stuck iron from iPhone 6S and sell it as completely new phone. From the point of view of the manufacturer, it is brilliant - after all, it turns out that many parts of the case are interchangeable. It will make it a positive effect on the availability of repair for a regular user - we know what kind of prices are fighting for a simple screen replacement on the same iPhone 6s, and then it will easily fit from the top five.

Price in 399 dollars for modern phone It is quite good, but in Russia this figure in the officials is miraculously turns into 37,990 rubles, i.e. At the current rate is almost 570 bucks. Sorry, but this is a complete robbery, you can't call anything differently.

Since they spoke about price, then we must mention modifications, and there will be only two - 16 GB and 64 GB. In the initial version of the meaning I do not see at all, especially if you consider that the new model is able to shoot video in 4K resolution. 64 GB looks more interesting, but for an additional volume it is already necessary to give a somewhat different amount - on 100 bucks more. It would be better if they did 32 and 64 gigabyte versions, but there are all marketers, who know that you will buy a version of 64 GB if you buy at all.

Color solutions will be four, and the classic silver, gold and gray space will be added pink, so that glamorous fifams that do not reach the top 6-ki, now there is something to dream about.

I know that many admirers of Apple technicians would like to have a design, identical iPhone 6S, but "Figvam", as the hero of one famous cartoon said! But the smartphone will not fall out of the hands - the washed iPhone 6 slips away from users much more often than the previous 5-ka.

Now let's talk about the gland. Despite the fact that iPhone 5 SE has absorbed almost all the best from 6s, there are some important changes.

I almost forgot! SE is one of the easiest smartphones in history. He loses to the leaders of everything for a couple of grams.
The four-link display will not receive the 3D Touch Pressure Recognition Technology, which to this day remains the exclusive chip of 6s and its brother - 6s +.

By the way, about the displays themselves. Even, despite them, it would seem identity, the iPhone 6S uses a matrix with better contrast, and the pixels are made using Dual Domain technology, in the iPhone SE - no. They provide a wider viewing angle. Otherwise, all parameters - whether it is the density of pixels, or brightness - the same.

If the main camera is the same as the flagship, the front-line remained a wretched, only 1-2 Mp against 5 Mp. Lovers of Selfie, you can sob! The rest of the deep doesn't care which the camera is used for video calls in the conditions of our terrible 3G.

Shouter Touch ID of the second generation, thanks to which the smartphone recognizes the fingerprint for the split second, the iPhone 5 SE also did not receive.

By the way, the inscription SE means Special Edition, i.e. Special version - This was told about the chief marketer Apple Phil Schiller.

And in the iPhone SE there is no barometer.

Due to the fact that the size of the display is less, the iPhone SE demonstrates excellent performance, and in the benchmarknarka antutu tests, the novelty earned more than 125,000 points, and this is almost like the iPhone 6S +, although for the most part, these tests are not interested in anyone, because the device works smartly.

That's where - where, and in the time of autonomous work, the iphone SE leads. The built-in battery will allow 2 hours more surf in the network than 6s. Here everything is extremely clear: the display is less - Zhor, respectively, too.

Otherwise, the whole filling is identical: apple processor A9 with coprocessor M9, 2 GB RAM, 12-megapixel main camera, NFC module, even such violets, like "Hi, Siri" on an unloaded iPhone, and pampering in live Photos are there.

In fact, we received 6-ku smaller and for less money, but who was already used to the 4.7-inch display hardly wants to change it to anything less. On the other hand, people who do not have funds on the top iphone have an opportunity to acquire a novelty with an old design. True, the availability of prices in Russia is a very controversial moment.

Here I would like to hear your opinion, did you wait for your smartphone from Apple and will you buy it?

The iPhone SE smartphone, despite the fact that it was known long before his release, made many surprised and caused many questions. Does anyone else buys 4-inch iPhones? Does Apple not play with fire, presenting such a design? It can be argued that the answer to both questions is positive, but after acquaintance with the phone it becomes clear that it does not matter. Regardless of the reasons that have forced to make a company to create this device, iPhone SE (photo posted further in the article) is equally an excellent smartphone for novice acquaintance with IOS OS and for users with small hands.

Summary

The fact that the new iPhone SE looks like an old-fashioned device does not mean that it functions the same way. The familiar and relatively inexpensive form of Apple managed to squeeze the performance of the flagship level and the best autonomous time, which an iPhone demonstrates over the years. The device lacks some subtleties 6s, and its screen for someone can be too small, but SE is the best compact smartphonewhich company ever produced.

Phone iPhone SE: What is it?

If you answer quickly, then this is an iPhone 6s in the body 5s. On this, in principle, you can stop. Although this statement is greatly simplified, but it is true. Almost all things that make the 6s model is the one that it is, here are present, only now they are compressed in the housing, the dimensions of which seemed to be not destined to see again. Apple could go cost-consciously and offer the sixth iPhone smaller, and in this case you can only rejoice that this has not happened. The phone performance will be told below, but the A9 chipset with the M9 movement processor, used in SE, is an accurate copy. flagship models Companies starting with his clock frequency up to 2 GB random access memorywith which he is spray. In short, SE does not give a sense of a second-time device.

It applies to its design. iPhone SE 64 GB is as easy and well folded like 5s two years ago, with small differences. In fact, in addition to the appearance of the iPhone Se Rose Gold pink goldWhat 5S was not there, there are only two changes: the SE logo on the back panel and the matte chamfer around flat edges of the phone. If someone liked the design of the iphone 5s of the old school, he will feel at home. And if not, he was not going to acquire this smartphone in any case.

There is a third camp: buyers who liked the design of 5s, and then they opened the generation large screens. And for them to return to a small phone after two years spent on the sixth family, it would be strange. They are surprised how could you use small screens for so long? Buyers even a week can not recruit text messages On cramped on screen keyboardhow they did it before. In addition, a feeling of disappointment appears on how little text can fit on a smaller display.

Better less yes better

Nevertheless, the size has its advantages. According to owners, after months of using large smartphones (iPhone 6S Plus, Galaxy Note 5 and Nexus 6P, etc.), the right hand is in a rather stressful state. She quickly gets tired and begins to root, especially when trying to reach the little finger to the bottom edge of the phone or when stretching the thumb on the screen, to press something in the corner. The weekly use of SE is similar to the mini vacation for hand. The display of a small size is not suitable for everyone, but it is impossible to deny the fact that SE is a very convenient small device.

In test phone iPhone. SE 64GB Space Gray gray has 64 GB of integrated memory. Almost 64, since IOS 9.3 occupies some place, and 55.7 GB remains available. It does not surprise that the initial level model comes with 16 GB of memory, but I want to hope that this is the last time the company leaves so little space for data and user programs. This is just one of the compromises to which you have to go, moving to such a form factor at a price. For example, none of the modifications, including iPhone SE 64GB GRAY, has 3D Touch. On the transition buttons to the home screen refer to the first generation that is not as fast as in 6S. And the front camera is a 1.2-megapixel step back to the fifth model.

In addition to the already mentioned gray and pink-gold colors of the case, produced Apple iPhone. SE GOLD Gold and Silver Silver Tint.

Image and sound

You can confidently say about the iPhone SE screen, that this is a complete compliance with a 5s display. It still works with a resolution of 1136 x 640, which also means the former pixel density of 326 dpi (the same as in 6s). If you look not on the numbers, but on the screen itself, you can see that it is as bright and rich, as in the old days. Nevertheless, 6S buyers will need some time to get used to the display. The screen is just darker than 6s or 6s Plus, and the color temperature is a bit warmer. In any case, the biggest difference here is the loss of 3D touch, which some will feel sharper than others. But some buyers, with inspiration, taking 3D Touch gestures when 6s appear, now they are rarely used. Therefore, the owners of the iPhone with experience can not worry because of the lack of this function, and the newcomers of its absence will not even notice.

Meanwhile, one speaker located at the bottom of SE is much louder than we can expect, especially at high and middle frequencies. For any long-term listening, there will still be a pair of headphones, but the speaker has enough power to voice the video on YouTube and give the charm to the beloved soundtrack.

Software

Apple iPhone 5 SE comes with iOS 9.3 firmware, which does not add many particularly important functions. In any case, the most notable addition is Night Shift., A function that can automatically reduce the color temperature of the screen to facilitate eye load at night. This is not a completely new idea. Applications such as F.Lux, many years could do it on the desktop. Compared to ordinary white, warm colors really facilitate evening reading. Instead of setting a specific transition schedule to night modeYou can manually configure the screen heat. Theoretically, the color change should help facilitate sleep cycle, but as a result, the user gets an annoying orange display. According to buyers' reviewers, it does not help them faster, but there is hope that there are those who use this feature.

In addition, it was now possible to block certain entries in the Notes application. Their opening requires a password or finger overlaying the fingerprint sensor. And the subscribers of Verizon finally got the opportunity to make Wi-Fi calls to their friends (others had the opportunity to use it for some time). The HEALTH application now takes into account nutrition data. This program is especially pleasant to have on SE: the smaller size of the device allows the phone to be a more pleasant companion in training.

Yes, and the application "News" has become a little bit better to determine what themes users give greater preference. Although it still overestimates the demand of Donald Trump, but this is probably a symptom of a larger problem. With iOS 9.3 3D Touch firmware has become more diverse, but it is obvious that no gesture is functioning here. That is life.

Oddly enough, but some owners of phones face the strange work of Siri after enabling the activation setting by voice. When listening to audiobooks in the Audible application excerpts from it with phrases, which are not at all like "Hey, Siri", called for a virtual assistant, puzzled by a puzzle of random passages of the dialogue. The same book for 6s did not cause a similar effect.

Camera

6S iphone is excellent camera. And since in SE it is exactly the same, then it does not have to doubt her quality. In fact, it is even a bit better for the following reason: Apple iPhone 5 SE is a bit thicker, he does not have an inconvenient bulge present at the representatives of the sixth generation. Here you have an argument in favor of thicker phones.

In any case, it is possible to talk long about how deeply echelonized defense of the company does not allow shed light on the neighboring photodiodes covered with darkness, but there is no need for it. All that really needs to know - the phone is able to do amazingly detailed, beautiful color photos. Snapshots on SE and 6S Plus are almost identical. True, the latter leads when it comes to photographing in low light conditions, as it has optical stabilization Images.

With weak light, the smartphone copes on perfectly, supporting the minimum noise level, although buyers prefer galaxy chamber S7. SE is also able to shoot a video to which looks smooth and evenly exhibited, even when tracking moving objects. This feature, of course, is good, but with 16 GB of memory - and many will agree with this - users probably won't want to shoot video of such high quality.

There are two other things about which it is worth mentioning. First, the iPhone SE supports the shooting of "live photos", moving images that add some senses and context pictures. Since there is no 3D touch, the program will start a long press on the Live Photo button. Secondly, selfie gets not so good as 6s. Apple did not bother to improve 1,2 megapixel frontal chamber At the top of the device, although the 5-megapixel sensor in 6s does not take much more space. As a result, photographs are more noisy. Although they are suitable for Instagram, but are deprived of the liveliness that is capable of a matrix with a large resolution. At least SE is equipped with a Retina flash, which uses the phone screen to provide additional brightness.

Performance

SE is more powerful than it may seem in its old-fashioned appearance. The combination of the modern chipset from Apple A9 with 2 GB of RAM is enough for the device to work without effort, from scrolling home screens and switch between applications before running graphically intensive games. When the company released a budgetary 4-inch telephone at the previous time (it was a second-time iPhone 5C), it seemed outdated from the very beginning. But the ability to squeeze the filling of your flagship mobile phone In a small 399-dollar iPhone impressive. For the first time in many years, it became possible to become the owner of a 4-inch model without sacrificing productivity for size.

Below are the results of the phone testing. Its productivity more or less corresponds to the speed of the most expensive Apple models.

Table of iPhone SE VS 6, 6S, 6S + test results table.

Battery life

When Apple refused to publish the battery data data in SE, some users came into excitement. But it was not worth worrying. You can be calm, as the phone is able to withstand all day, and then some time. After charging at nine in the morning after 11 hours of operation, there are still 30-40% of the charge. According to the owners, the device can remain without recharging more than 24 hours, which they are very happy.

VideoTest, consisting in continuous playback of high-definition video when Wi-Fi is enabled and the brightness of the screen installed by 50 percent, showed 13 hours 40 minutes of the iPhone SE functioning. The differences with the stated manufacturer with a 50% increase in the battery life of the battery is obvious, but the model is still the best indicator of all iPhones. Surprisingly, so much energy is concluded in such a miniature case.

Price and quality

In the iPhone Se Differences from other top models become noticeable when assessing a combination of cost and power - a 16-gigabyte model is the cheapest new phone that Apple ever released. So he occupies a special place in the line mobile devices Companies. There are no reasons for buying 5s, so the question is whether the SE or 6S will be purchased to potential owners of the smartphone. It would be possible to include here and iPhone 6, but 6s costs only $ 100 more expensive. As already mentioned, 6s shares the power of SE, but has a large 4.7-inch screen. It is quite convenient, but the battery life is reduced.

If someone has a desire to spend about $ 400 per smartphone and there is no attachment to Apple, then you can consider the option from LG and Google Nexus. 5x. It also provides good performance at a reasonable price, but its plastic case does not withstand any comparison with first-class appearance iPhone SE. What is the phone, it becomes clear when you meet a huge power chipset Snapdragon. 808, which will work in Google Android N supporting multi-screen multitasking.

Conclusion

The biggest disadvantage of the iPhone SE is its size, and this is obvious. But if it were not for the fact that it was easy to manage with one hand, it would be impossible to understand why Apple went to its production. A smaller size is definitely perfectly felt in his hand and in his pocket during a walk. The power that the phone is endowed is impressive. Given the performance of the processor, which Apple managed to insert into a smaller phone, is surprising that it does not overheat or does not reduce the battery life. Although not with the best indicators in the industry, but this is an iPhone with good time Autonomous work, what will like many. SE does not keep the charge so well as other iPhones when watching media files, but, compared to 5S, it's a step forward. The camera is powerful and clear, and many will be surprised by changes as pictures.

The phone design is outdated. It is impossible to find another explanation for the fact that Apple did not create a smaller version iPhone. 6S, except for saving considerations. Also do not like users and outdated screen technology. In addition to small changes, it's old display iPhone 5 2012 almost four years ago. And the image in the phone plays not a latter role. The owner of the phone should not compare the screen with for example. He will be very upset.

You can confidently say about the iPhone SE, that this is a smartphone that does not suit people who welcomed the appearance of more spacious screens, even despite the strange convexities created by him in pockets. If you look at SE as on new Product Apple, everything makes sense. The phone is relatively cheap, which will be tempting for people who will want to finally get rid of their old phone-clamshells. His small size It is suitable for those who stopped the modernization of iPhones when they became too big. But the most important thing is that it is powerful. Apple fans should wait for the start of sales of the seventh model in September, as this device is not intended for them. If you want to get a first-class smartphone that does not empty your pockets or damage the hand, the iPhone SE deserves a place in the list of applicants.

Congratulations to all lovers of small screens, 4-inch iPhones! On March 21, 2016, Apple updated the 4-inch iPhone line of the new iPhone SE. This means that we have a choice. We may not buy large iPhones from 4.7 "or 5.5 inches screens, just because they are fresh models. If you do not like a big screen and the old kind "five" you always satisfied you, today you can buy a new, fresh 4-inch iPhone SE with modern and urgent "hardware" inside.

The most important thing is that people who went with iPhone 5 have already encountered problems related to software. For example, the "Night mode" function from iOS 9.3 is no longer supported by the "five" and apparently, it is not a fact that the iPhone 5 will support all functions. Those. Apple stops gradually supporting the top five, and purchasing iPhone SE we get the most relevant device with a current processor that will support all the functions of all new versions ios. The next 5. Yes, we will even sell or refuse it before :)

Colors and housing

The first thing for which I immediately want to pay attention is to have a new color in the Apple iPhone line and, as well as in the 4-inch iPhone line - Rose Gold (Rose Gold). At one time, Apple introduced this color in and now decided to equip the next version of the iPhone. The new color is popular and already three devices from all Apple products have it. I am really sure that soon we will wait and.

IPhone SE form identically repeats the form of the iPhone 5S, so all covers from your tops will be citing. They simply took our any 4-inch iPhone and shoved there modern, relevant stuffing. Updated, in other words. Well, right, because the iPhone 5S has a fairly beautiful, comfortable, comfortable, as a whole - the optimal shape and all that he lacks, it is relevance of the filling.

Iron

What processor in iPhone SE

IPhone SE processor is the actual A9 chip that stands in the iPhone 6S in this moment. Also, the A9 chip has a M9 coprocessor that provides without contact access to Siri - now you can simply say "hello siri" and it is activated. No need to clamp the "Home" button more.

How many RAM in iPhone SE

Fortunately, the iPhone SE received 2 GB of RAM, as in the iPhone 6S. So no lags. The phone works quickly and without brakes. He will definitely not. Even faster than the iPhone 5S and even a bit better than the last 6s. Although Apple's presentation has shown that the new iPhone SE on performance is on the same level with iPhone 6S and exceeds the speed of operation and the power of the iPhone 5S 2 times. A graphics chip is ahead of the iPhone 5S 3 times.

How much of your memory in iPhone SE

The iPhone SE memory received 16 GB and 64 GB. Yes, only two model classes will be available. However, this topic is already incurred from 16 GB. In 2016, put so much, and with the support of shooting video 4k it is not interesting. Well, it is clear that this is a marketing stroke and that they follow the concept of iphone 6s. Maybe everything will change with the way out.

What OS is working iPhone SE

iPhone SE comes with iOS 9.3 on board. And accordingly, it will support iOS 10 and subsequent new, right up to iOS 13.

Battery

Price iPhone SE, iPhone SE release date, start sales

The release date of the iPhone SE is scheduled for March 31. Although pre-ordered can be done, from March 24. iPhone SE will be released on March 31 in the countries of the first wave, where:

1. Australia
2. Canada
3. China
4. France
5. Germany
6. Gong Kong
7. Japan
8. New Zealand
9. Puerto Rico
10. Singapore
11. England

The release date of the iPhone SE in Ukraine and Russia May. The new iPhone SE will be released in Ukraine and Russia in May, because Apple plans to release it to the market in May 110 countries. I think we get into this list in any way. And selling iPhone SE will be at a price of 400 bucks for 16 GB and 500 bucks for 64 GB. If official price iPhone SE in the USA:

• $ 399 dollars for 16 GB
• $ 499 dollars for 64 GB

that will be much more expensive in Ukraine. As usual, there is a surcharge for the supply and, plus, the shops screw the bright cheek. Therefore, the approximate price of the iPhone SE in Ukraine is 14'000 UAH and 16'000 UAH dollars for the model 16 and 64 gigabytes, respectively.

IPhone SE Video Reviews

Apple official video:

Video Overview of Black iPhone Se - The Verge:

Video Review Golden iPhone SE - Slash Gear

Video Overview - Covers with iPhone 5S will go to the iPhone SE

That's all by view iPhone SE In general, a good device. Especially for those who do not like large displays on the phones. Worthy replacing the iPhone. 5, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. And the price, very pleased. This is the most affordable iphone in the world today. Modern stuffing, in the form of an awesome camera, like the iPhone 6S, a powerful and fast processor, a beautiful color of pink gold - makes this iPhone the best among 4-inch iPhones, modern and relevant.

A merry video is already walking over the network, in which one humorist gives ordinary people on the streets in hand two iPhone 5S and says that one of them is a new iPhone SE. They immediately find a bunch of advantages from one of the devices, even without guessing that they really are the same. After the start of sales of the iPhone SE, the experiment can be repeated, and it is unlikely that something changes.

And why? Because Apple simply took a "filling" from the iPhone 6S and packed into the housing from a three-year-old smartphone. Saving savings, and the move is still not the most beautiful. New model Still should be new and in terms of design.

An error occurred during the download.

2. The iPhone SE is far from the coolest specifications.

Let's truth in the eye: With the optimization of the system and the "iron", Apple developers cope with the solid five. But this does not cancel the fact that 2 GB of memory in a modern smartphone is far from as much as I would like.

Well, the amount of memory limited by 16 gigabytes is like voluntary consent to pain and suffering. How many films, games, music and photos can you save on those 12-13 gigabytes, who left Apple in reality? Yes, there is a model with 64 GB of memory, but for her cunning Americans will ask for an additional and pay 10,000 rubles from above.

3. For the same money you can buy a very good Android smartphone

Recall that Apple iPhone SE in Russia costs 38,000 rubles. So many potential buyers will be asked for a younger version with 16 GB of memory, to expand what we all know well, it is impossible.

What can I buy for this money? Almost anyone last year flagship At the official price! For example, Samsung Galaxy S6 for 39,000 rubles, LG G4 for 40,000 rubles, Sony Xperia. Z5 Compact for 36,000 rubles or even very fresh and very powerful Huawei Mate. 8 for 40 000 rubles. The "gray" sellers can find these devices even cheaper.

4. Screen with a diagonal of 4 inches - it is very little

Try to find at least one more or less modern smartphone On Android with a screen, the diagonal of which will not exceed 4 inches. They simply do not exist, because the main part of the market has long been made up models with a diagonal of the display from 4.7 to 5.5 inches. Even the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, which everyone considers a very small smartphone equipped with a 4.6-inch screen!

Another stone in the Apple garden for pixels: the iPhone SE screen resolution is 1136x640 points and does not reach the usual HD (1280x720 pixels). Well, the current standard for a decent "strong middling" on Android today is at all Full HD (1920x1080 points). By the way, in many respects, it is precisely due to a low-resolution screen of the iPhone longer and require less computational resources to perform various tasks.

If you say quite simple, Full HD today is good, just HD is already not enough, but still normal, less than HD (like Apple), - actually last century.

5. Do you really want not "top" iPhone?

New iPhone often buy contrary to common sense: just for the sake of prestige. If you consider the iPhone SE from this point of view, it should be seriously thinking about how friends and colleagues will perceive the appearance of a gadget in your hands. Most likely, they will simply decide that you still have an old iPhone 5S. But even if you can convince them, then +5 to a respect and respect to get it. To do this, you will have to wait for September and and take the iPhone 7 on credit.

By the way, if you suddenly missed the iPhone SE presentation, then we have saved specially for you. Well, about too, be sure to read - we still for an objective approach: the new gadget has both shortcomings and dignity.

. "In a nutshell," the difference between them usually describe this way: externally, a novelty as two drops of water look like an old gadget, but in it is already a powerful "iron" from the iPhone 6S. But is it? After all, the devil, as you know, lies in the details ...

Sizes and weight

Sizes and weight in 5S and SE are the same - 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm, but the weight ... in the new smartphone Apple. He is one gram more :). 113 Against 112. "Excess" gram in real life, of course, rather reason for jokes than a lack - hardly anyone will not seriously notice him.

Video review:

Design and available colors

Externally 4-inch iPhone SE - Full copy iPhone. 5S. Moreover, IFIXIT experts came to the conclusion that many iPhone SE components are completely identical to the iPhone 5S components.

Experts installed in the iPhone SE display from the iPhone 5S and found that the old display not only was located in the housing of the new device, but also perfectly worked in a bundle with the rest of the components.

Initially, the iPhone 5S was available in three colors: " gray Space", Gold and silver (with output iPhone 6S "Golden" version 5S disappeared from retail).

The Apple's iPhone SE has retained the former 3 colors and added one new one - "Rose Gold".

CPU

iPhone SE received an Apple A9 chip, which is also installed in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. According to Apple itself, it is 2 times more productive than the CIP A7 installed in the iPhone 5S, and 3 times faster than the predecessor copes with graphics processing. The M9 coprocessor is also more powerful than M7 - thanks to the interaction with sensors (compass, gyroscope and accelerometer) it allows you to collect more fitness data (steps, kilometers, etc.). The "Hi, Siri" feature in the iPhone SE works without connecting to the power source.

RAM

In iPhone SE 2 gigabytes of RAM - and in the iPhone 5S only one. The difference you feel very quickly - for example, the "extra" gigabyte "RAM" allows you to instantly access the long-forgotten tabs in Safari, without their pre-loading via the Internet.

Storage device

the iPhone SE comes only in two versions - with a 16 and 64 GB drive. iPhone 5S, in turn, was produced in three versions - 16, 32 and 64 GB.

Cameras

iPhone se got isight Camera on 12 megapixels with aperture F / 2.2. For comparison, the iPhone 5S was completed with a photo module only 8 megapixels (aperture - the same). Old iphone Seriously lags behind a beginner of functionality - unlike SE, 5S

• does not record videos in the resolution of 4k or at 240 frames per second (slow motion);
• does not make panoramic pictures in resolving up to 63 megapixels;
• does not remove "live photos" Live Photos.

But the FaceTime Frontalka on both smartphones equally "dough" is only 1.2 megapixels. And if in the case of the iPhone 5S it is somehow possible to explain, then the iPhone SE has nothing to cover - it is obvious that in Apple (apparently, in pursuit of low price) they saved here. True, on this "front" at SE, there is one advantage - Apple engineers have provided it with the Retina Flash function (when creating selfie in poor lighting conditions, the screen acts as an outbreak).

LTE (4G)

iPhone SE offers 50% more fast access On the Internet (if there is a technical capabilities) - up to 150 Mbps against 100 Mbps at the iPhone 5S. Unfortunately, the data iphone SE cannot be called an advantage in Russian realities.

By the way, it is worth paying attention to: according to official data, SE is offered in two models, the first of which, A1662, does not support the 7th range of LTE popular in Russia. The version with the A1723 number there are no such problems.

Working hours

Thanks to the energy efficient 64-bit third-generation processor and a small screen iPhone SE works noticeably longer than 5s. Apple notes that when working on the Internet after 4G or Wi-Fi battery new iPhone. "Strengthens" 13 hours, when playing music - up to 50 hours. iPhone 5S under the same conditions "will work" only 10 and 40 hours, respectively. As we see, the "vitality" of the battery increased by 25-30%. Impressive!
