- What's up, guys?
Saf here on SuperSaf TV and in this video,
we're going to be doing
a detailed comparison
between the new iPhone SE
2020 and the iPhone 11.
So, yesterday, I did post
a detailed SuperSafStyle
camera comparison between these two.
If you want to check that
out, I'll leave that link
in the cards and in the description.
But of course, there are
many more differences,
other than just the cameras,
and that's what we'll be
looking at in today's video.
So initially, let's take a
look at the build and design.
They are both very similar.
We've got an aluminum frame
with a glass panel at the back.
You can tell that they are
both from the same family.
We do have slight differences
for the camera modules,
but generally speaking,
I think both of these do look
really nice from the back
and they are both also very premium.
Now, the iPhone 11 does
get a few advantages.
Firstly, it is IP68 rated
water and dust resistant,
versus the IP67 on the iPhone SE.
Now, how much of a difference
is that going to make day-to-day?
Probably not too much,
but it does mean that
you'll be able to submerge
the iPhone 11 into water up to two meters,
compared to just one
meter on the iPhone SE.
The iPhone 11 is also available
in a few more color options.
You get both of these in a black, a white,
as well as a product red.
But on the iPhone 11, you
can also get it in a green,
a yellow, as well as a purple.
Now, in either case, you can
always customize the look
of your iPhone with a skin or a grit case
from our channel sponsor, dbrand.
It's a very quick and easy
way to give your device
some protection, as well as a unique look.
I'll be leaving a link to
dbrand in the description below
if you want to pick up
a grip case or a skin.
The iPhone SE, of course, is a lot smaller
compared to the iPhone 11 as well.
This is the exact same
dimensions as the iPhone 8,
so if you are somebody that's
coming from maybe an iPhone 6,
6s, 7 or an 8, then the
iPhone SE is going to feel
a lot more familiar
rather than having to do
that much bigger jump up to the iPhone 11.
The iPhone SE also weighs quite a bit less
compared to the iPhone 11,
and it is probably one of
the most compact smartphones
that you can buy right now.
Now let's move over onto
the front of the displays,
where there are lots of similarities,
but also some significant differences.
So firstly, in terms
of display technology,
both of these have liquid
retina displays, LCD,
they both have the same
326 ppi pixel density,
the same contrast ratio,
as well as the same peak
brightness of 625 nits.
They're generally really good displays.
They're of course not at the
level of the OLED displays
that we've got on the iPhone 11 Pros,
but the biggest difference in
between these two, of course,
is the screen-to-body ratio.
The iPhone SE has a very
similar-looking front
to the iPhone 8,
and that also means that
we've got pretty thick bezels
on the top and the bottom
compared to today's standards.
The iPhone 11 has much smaller bezels
all around with a notch.
So yes, the iPhone 11 does
have a larger display,
but the higher screen-to-body ratio means
you'll getting much more real estate
in comparison to the size of the device.
Now how much does that mean
to you is going to come down
to your personal preference.
I do like a larger display with a higher
screen-to-body ratio.
I'm somebody who consumes a lot
of content on my smartphone.
But if you're somebody who's
not too bothered about that,
then I'm sure you're going
to be absolutely fine
with the iPhone SE.
Now, one thing that you do
get, because of those bezels,
is Touch ID.
So this is the fingerprint
scanner here on the home button.
It works really, really well.
It's very fast, and most importantly,
it's very familiar.
If you're coming from
one of the older iPhones,
then you're going to feel right at home
with this Touch ID home button.
On the iPhone 11, you do have Face ID,
which again, is really, really good.
It's very fast, it works
really, really well.
Now, which one of these you
prefer is going to come down
to your personal preference.
I guess you've got advantages
and disadvantage of both.
I personally do prefer
a fingerprint scanner.
I just think it's quicker and
more convenient on the whole,
but certain situations, such
as when you've got gloves on,
Face ID is better.
Now let's move onto the cameras.
So, as mentioned, I have done
a detailed SuperSaf-style
camera comparison between these two,
and I cover pretty much
all aspects of the cameras
in that video with lots of samples,
so I'll link that in the
cards and in the description.
But in a nutshell, although
many images in good light
are very comparable with
the primary cameras,
on the iPhone 11, I believe
you do have a larger sensor.
This is not something
that Apple have specified,
but the iPhone 11 does
come with a Night Mode,
which means low-light
photography is a lot better.
You also have the ultra-wide camera,
which lets you get in a
lot more into your shots,
something that I really, really like.
And on the front-facing cameras as well,
although lots of images are comparable,
on the iPhone 11, you do
have a high-resolution,
and it allows you to get wider selfies,
which will be great for group selfies.
And for video as well,
although the iPhone SE
takes really good video, the iPhone 11
has better dynamic range,
better stabilization.
From the front-facing cameras,
you have 4K, whereas you've
only got 1080p on the iPhone SE.
So yes, the iPhone 11
does offer more features
in the way of cameras
compared to the iPhone SE,
but that's not to say that
the iPhone SE has bad cameras.
It's still got very capable cameras,
and a lot of it does come down
to what's powering these two,
and it is the A13 bionic chip,
which is very, very fast.
You do get a little bit
more RAM on the iPhone 11,
which you may not notice
on a day-to-day basis,
but it's going to help with
gaming and multitasking.
But generally speaking, on the day-to-day
for a regular user,
performance is very
comparable between these two.
They are both very, very good,
and that's also thanks to the software.
You do have iOS 13,
and Apple is really good at
providing software updates,
so both of these should also last you
at least an amount of time.
Both devices also support dual SIMs.
You've got a nano physical SIM card slot,
but you can also have
an eSIM, which is great.
Both devices also have stereo speakers.
We've got one in the earpiece,
and we've got one upon firing.
The iPhone 11 does have spatial audio,
and it also has support for Dolby Atmos.
So it just does sound
better, it's more rich,
and it also gets louder
compared to the iPhone SE.
Now let's talk about the batteries.
So, we do have a much larger
battery on the iPhone 11,
which does result in better battery life.
Now do bear in mind that you are powering
a larger display on the iPhone 11
compared to that on the iPhone SE,
and if things are relative, so
it's not just about numbers.
And although usage varies
from person-to-person,
I think we'll be getting
around 25 to 30% better
battery life on the iPhone 11.
Now, for charging, both of
these do come with a five watt
charger out of the box,
but they do support up
to 18 watt fast charging.
That charger you would
have to buy separately.
And both devices also
support Qi wireless charging.
This is something that I really like.
It's very, very convenient.
And finally, let's talk about the price.
This is one of the
biggest separating factors
between these two.
The iPhone SE is coming in
at a very competitive $400,
or around 420 pounds,
whereas the iPhone 11 is
starting at around $700,
or around 730 pounds.
So you've got about a $300 or
around 310-pound difference
between these two, which
means the iPhone SE
is around 60% of the
price of the iPhone 11.
Both devices do come in a 64, 128,
as well as a 256 GB option,
and I guess the question is:
is it worth spending the
extra 300 on the iPhone 11?
Well, in my opinion,
getting that better display,
the better cameras, the
better battery life,
speakers, et cetera, I do think
it is worth it, personally.
But if you're on a budget,
you don't really need
those additional features,
you maybe want an iPhone,
but you've not been able
to get the iPhone 11
because of that price,
then the iPhone SE is going to
be a really, really good option.
Maybe you want to buy
a phone for your kids.
Maybe you're in the Apple ecosystem,
you've got things like FaceTime, iMessage.
Maybe you want to get a phone
for your parents or something.
Again, the iPhone SE is going to be
a really, really good option.
I think it's going to
sell really, really well.
That's what I think.
