The battery test shows that the iPhone SE 2020 is a big disappointment even when you are not heavy duty

Battery capacity has never been considered the strength of the iPhone, and the new SE 2020 launched not too long ago is no exception. Recently, YouTube channel @mrwhosetheboss has conducted a visual comparison test between the latest Apple products and the leading smartphones on the market today. Specifically, the iPhone SE faces two siblings iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S20 and OnePlus 8. The conclusion this channel makes is: If 1 you want to own a phone with a buffalo battery to Spending all day long, the iPhone SE 2020 is probably not the most ideal choice.

The test @mrwhosetheboss posted above is actually a timelapse video to compare the battery drop rate of iPhone SE with other devices, from 100% until the power goes down. All of these smartphones will run in parallel at the same time, identical applications, in an equal amount of time to simulate the most basic needs of common users. Other parameters such as screen brightness, volume, Wi-fi connection or Bluetooth are all the same settings to ensure fairness.

Size and battery capacity are an important factor in this test, and it seems that the iPhone SE, because it is considered Apple’s low-cost line, is somewhat inferior to the remaining flagships. The smartphone has an 1821 mAh battery, which is quite modest compared to the iPhone 11 (3110 mAh), iPhone 11 Pro (3046 mAh), Samsung Galaxy S20 (4000 mAh) and OnePlus 8 (4300 mAh).

Of course, the higher the battery capacity, the longer the smartphone will last. However, the final results of the above test will certainly cause many people to have doubts about the level of “cattle” of iPhone SE, which does not seem like Apple advertised very much. Accordingly, iPhone SE 2020 can operate continuously for 3 hours and 46 minutes; iPhone 11 is 5 hours; Galaxy S20 is 6 hours 31 minutes; iPhone 11 Pro is 6 hours 56 minutes; and OnePlus 8 is 7 hours 55 minutes.

The iPhone SE 2020 lasts approximately 4 hours of continuous use before fully power down.

Meanwhile Apple has confirmed SE 2020 has the ability to “plow” videos in 13 hours.

There will be opinions that it is unfair to compare the iPhone SE 2020, a smartphone in the $ 400 segment, with today’s top flagships. However, the ultimate goal of @mrwhosetheboss is to let viewers understand how quickly this device loses battery. At the end of the video, he concluded: Although in reality, rarely will users use the phone for a continuous period of time, but, he was hoping that SE 2020 will survive about 5 hours. No power down so fast.

He said: “ iPhone SE is the cheapest model in this test, so its specifications of course cannot be compared with other competitors. However, the problem we are seeking to answer here is whether it is worth the money to buy or not. It is true that we rarely use the phone continuously for a long time, but I think you will not want to buy a smartphone with such a low battery capacity. Even if you are a person who only uses a dew phone during the day, SE 2020 probably is not the most ideal choice . ”

Of course, it would be unfair to compare the iPhone SE with today’s top flagships. But the battery life of nearly 4 hours is too little even for ordinary users, not used or heavy tasks.

However, he also emphasized that this is a product in the $ 400 range of Apple after many years for other competitors to occupy the lucrative mid-range market. Users in this segment tend to choose the most powerful devices possible in terms of configuration and have as many features as the high-end models. ” Currently, there are very few products that can compete with the iPhone SE in the same price range, ” he said.

YouTuber said that while battery life is not impressive, but the price and its features are the potential to “lure” Android users to switch to the iOS ecosystem. With a new number of iPhone users, of course, other Apple applications will also be fragrant, such as the App Store, Apple Music or. Apple Maps. All will bring new profits for Apple this year.
