The phone comes with a 4-inch display with a resolution of 640x1136 pixels at a pixel density of 326ppi (pixels per inch). The smartphone is powered by the Apple A10 A9 processor and comes with 2GB of RAM.
In terms of optics, the Apple iPhone SE packs a 12-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 1.2-megapixel front camera. In our review of the device we found it to be a complete package and said that the overall experience is everything you'd expect from an Apple product.
The launch of iPhone 7 did not just bring about the price cuts for iPhone SE but also brought in the discontinuation of company's smartphones iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus.
