This product has been developed based on the iPhone 8 released about two and a half years ago, and many people are considering the iPhone SE (2nd generation) as a replacement destination from the iPhone 8. is not it.
So, in this article, I compared the performance and price of iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone 8/8 Plus. Please use it as a reference when purchasing.

Body design
Let's compare iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone 8/8 Plus.
First of all, from the design. That said, I'm sure many of you already know that the iPhone SE (2nd generation) was developed based on the iPhone 8, so the design hasn't changed much from the iPhone 8.
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| display | ・ Retina HD display ・ Multi-Touch display with IPS technology ・ Wide color gamut display (P3) ・ True Tone display ・ Tactile touch | ・ Retina HD display ・ Multi-Touch display with IPS technology ・ Wide color gamut display (P3) ・ True Tone display ・ 3D Touch | |
| Display size | 4.7 inches | 5.5 inches | |
| resolution | 1,334 x 750 pixels (326ppi) | 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (401ppi) | |
| Biometrics | Touch ID |
The housing is aluminum and the screen size is 4.7 inches. There are thick bezels at the top and bottom of the screen, and a home button with built-in Touch ID is mounted at the bottom. All of the higher-end models have been replaced with Face ID, but the iPhone SE maintains fingerprint recognition.
By the way, this home button is not a type that can be physically pushed in, but uses a tactile feedback method that creates a pseudo-pushing sensation by vibration. Besides, the housing size and weight are the same as the iPhone 8.
The only difference is that Apple's apple mark is closer to the center of the device. And the front panel of the white model turned black.
Regarding the latter, the iPhone 8 series was available in four colors: silver, space gray, gold, and (PRODUCT) RED model, of which space gray and (PRODUCT) RED had a black front panel, silver and gold. The white front panel was adopted.
However, the iPhone SE this time has a black front panel on all models, so the front panel of the white model is also black. This change seems to be for cost reduction, but maybe many people are happy with this specification change.
By the way, the waterproof performance is the same as the iPhone 8 IP67 (designed to withstand up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter). It is safe to use near the water.
The rear camera has a single lens specification. Unfortunately, the fact that the camera is protruding has not been resolved. I will explain the performance of the camera in detail later, but the performance is slightly inferior to the iPhone 8 Plus equipped with the dual lens camera, and it is higher than the iPhone 8 and iPhone XR equipped with the same single lens camera. ..
By the way, the Lightning terminal is installed on the bottom of the terminal. The earphone terminal was never revived.

Haptic Touch on iPhone 11 Pro
Apple is promoting the conversion of 3D Touch to Haptic Touch in order to reduce costs, but this iPhone SE (2nd generation) has also become a prey.
3D Touch is an iPhone function that allows you to perform special operations by pushing the screen in and out, and you can use it conveniently everywhere, such as by pushing the URL and temporarily loading the linked WEB page. The same feature was available on the iPhone 8/8 Plus, but unfortunately the iPhone SE (2nd generation) has switched to the Haptic Touch.
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| display | Haptic Touch | 3D Touch |
Haptic Touch is a function that works like 3D Touch by pressing and holding the screen. It's not inconvenient at all, but I personally feel that 3D Touch → Haptic Touch is a downgrade because 3D Touch was easier to use.
On-board processor & RAM capacity
The processor installed in the "iPhone SE (2nd generation)" is the "A13 Bionic". With the latest processor installed in the iPhone 11 series, you will be able to comfortably handle most tasks such as games and browsers.
The A13 Bionic is suitable for machine learning, including a dedicated 8-core Neural Engine capable of executing 5 trillion operations per second, a CPU with two machine learning accelerators, and a new machine learning controller that balances performance and efficiency. Design is adopted. Therefore, it is possible to use high-performance apps that utilize machine learning and Core ML.
By the way, compared to the "A11 Bionic" installed in the iPhone 8, the "A13 Bionic" processor is up to 1.4 times faster in CPU processing speed and up to 2 times faster in drawing performance on the GPU. For reference, the benchmark score of "iPhone 11" measured by Geekbench 5 is posted.
| iPhone 8 | iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 11 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-board processor | A11 Bionic | A13 Bionic | A13 Bionic |
| Single core score | 915 | ?? | 1328 |
| Multi-core score | 2325 | ?? | 3306 |
| METAL | 3350 | ?? | 6371 |
| RAM capacity | 3GB | ?? | 4GB |
We are currently investigating the RAM capacity, but since the iPhone 8 has 2GB of RAM and the iPhone 8 Plus has 3GB of RAM, it is expected that at least 2GB will be installed. Since this product has been developed so that it can fully use services such as Apple Arcade and Apple TV +, it seems likely that it will be equipped with 3GB or more.
camera
The iPhone SE (2nd generation) camera is a 12-megapixel single lens. Since the specifications such as the number of pixels and the angle of view are all the same as the iPhone 8, it may be said that they are equivalent in terms of camera quality, but since portrait mode and portrait lighting can be used, it is practically Will have improved performance over the iPhone 8.
However, the performance will be inferior to the iPhone 8 Plus equipped with a dual lens camera. In other words, if you change the model from iPhone 8 Plus to iPhone SE (2nd generation), part of the camera performance will be downgraded, so if you care about camera performance, purchase the iPhone 11 series instead of iPhone SE. It seems better to do it.
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera Lens | Single lens (wide angle) 12MP (f / 1.8) | Dual lens (wide-angle + telephoto) Wide-angle: 12MP (f / 1.8) Telephoto: 12MP (f / 2.8) | |
| Camera performance | ・ Optical image stabilization ・ Up to 5x digital zoom ・ True Tone flash ・ Portrait mode with advanced bokeh effect and depth control ・ Portrait lighting (6 types) ・ Next-generation smart HDR | -Optical image stabilization-Maximum 5x digital zoom-True Tone flash-Automatic HDR | -Optical image stabilization-Optical zoom (2x) -Maximum 10x digital zoom-True Tone flash-Portrait mode-Portrait lighting (5 types) -Automatic HDR |
IPhone 11 dual lens camera
By the way, the iPhone 11 is equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens, which allows you to take pictures with a wider angle of view than a wide-angle lens, and the "width" of the pictures you can take is widened. In addition, the iPhone 11 series can also use the night mode, which allows you to take beautiful pictures in the dark.

I thought about whether it was worth 140,000 yen 2019-09-23The performance of the front camera (FaceTime camera) is almost the same as the iPhone 8 series. However, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is superior in terms of performance because it can use portrait mode and portrait lighting.
For video shooting, the rear camera can shoot 4K video at a maximum of 60 fps, and both the front and rear cameras are equipped with movie-level camera shake correction and studio-level audio recording functions, resulting in high-quality video with a sense of realism. It is possible to shoot.
Another useful camera feature is the support for the "QuickTake" feature, which allows you to instantly switch to video recording while shooting in photo mode. Smooth shooting is possible without missing a photo opportunity.

iPhone SE (2nd generation) can use Apple Pay in full service. The old iPhone SE could use Apple Pay only for apps and payments on the web, but the "iPhone SE (2nd generation)" also supports NFC and FeliCa, so you can use Suica and credit cards registered in the Wallet app. You can now use it to make payments at stores. You can also use Suica to pass through the ticket gates of trains. It can be said that this is an important upgrade in the modern age of cashless society.
If you're planning to use Suica on the iPhone SE (2nd generation), remember that you can use an express card with standby power. With this function, even if the iPhone battery runs out, you can pass through the ticket gate within 5 hours at the maximum.
By the way, these specifications were also available on the "iPhone 8/8 Plus", so there is no particular change when replacing the iPhone 8 series.

eSIM and Wi-Fi 6 compatible
Although the iPhone SE (2nd generation) has little change in appearance, it has actually been updated regarding communication.
First of all, it is compatible with the next-generation high-speed wireless LAN standard "Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax)". Wi-Fi 6 has improved communication speed throughput from the previous standard 802.11ac, data transfer speed has improved by 30%, latency has been reduced to 1/4, and communication can be performed at a speed that is virtually four times faster. At the same time, battery consumption can be reduced, making it a strong ally for smartphone users.
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| communication | MIMO compatible 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 Bluetooth 5.0 reader mode compatible NFC FeliCa | MIMO compatible 802.11ac Wi-Fi Bluetooth 5.0 reader mode compatible NFC FeliCa |
The standard is compatible with the previous iPhone 11 series and iPad Pro (2020), but iPhone SE (2nd generation) will be added to these compatible terminals. In fact, I think whether or not the communication speed will be faster will differ depending on the individual environment, but at least for the next few years, it will not be a disadvantage to support the communication standard used.
In addition, iPhone SE (2nd generation) is also compatible with eSIM, whose needs are increasing in Japan. Since the iPhone SE (2nd generation) can also insert a physical card, dual SIM can be used. Convenience will be improved by using SIM for calling and SIM for communication properly, and SIM used in Japan and SIM used overseas separately.

The color lineup of iPhone SE (2nd generation) is white, black, and (PRODUCT) RED. The previous iPhone SE (first generation) was available in four colors, silver, gold, space gray, and rose gold, and the iPhone 8/8 Plus was available in four colors, silver, space gray, gold, and (PRODUCT) RED, so the color lineup has decreased. There is.

| Color | Black White (PRODUCT) RED | Black White (PRODUCT) RED | Gold Silver Space Gray |
There are 3 lineups of storage capacity: 64GB / 128GB / 256GB. It can be said that the minimum capacity of the original iPhone SE was 16GB (later increased to 32GB), so it can be said that it increased about four times, but the storage capacity of the actual predecessor model iPhone 8/8 Plus was 64GB / 128GB (initially 64GB / Since it was 256GB), it can be said that the 256GB model has been revived for the storage capacity lineup.
Battery life
The battery life of the iPhone SE (2nd generation) hasn't changed, for better or for worse.
The battery life announced by Apple is as follows, and the battery life of the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is exactly the same as the iPhone 8. The iPhone 8 Plus has a larger housing size and is equipped with a battery with a larger capacity, so it has a longer drive time than the iPhone SE (2nd generation).
| iPhone SE (2nd generation) | iPhone 8 | iPhone 8 Plus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery life | Video: Up to 13 hours Audio: Up to 40 hours Fast charging (up to 50% in 30 minutes) Supports wireless charging | Video: Up to 13 hours Audio: Up to 40 hours Fast charging (up to 50% in 30 minutes) Supports wireless charging | Video: Up to 14 hours Audio: Up to 60 hours Fast charging (up to 50% in 30 minutes) Supports wireless charging |
By the way, the high-end model iPhone 11 is touted as 17 hours of video playback and 65 hours of audio playback. The iPhone 11 Pro has 18 hours of video playback and 65 hours of audio playback. If you want to buy a model with a good battery life, you may want to buy a bezelless iPhone like the iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro.
price
The price of the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is 49,280 yen for the 64GB model, 54,780 yen for the 128GB model, and 66,880 yen for the 256GB model (all including tax). As you can see from the table, the price is unlikely to be a recent Apple product, so it is a perfect model for those who want to purchase an iPhone while keeping costs down.

summary
As you can see from this article, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) looks the same as the iPhone 8, but the brain is the same as the iPhone 11 series. It can be said that it is the strongest iPhone with Touch ID at the moment.
And yet, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) is the cheapest class ever. The iPhone is known for its relatively high price, but the price is set at less than 50,000 yen (the cheapest model). This is definitely a bargain. It may not be necessary for those who already have a high-end model, but if you have an older iPhone, you may consider purchasing this model.
