Introduction

The iPhone SE (2022), or iPhone SE 3 as many call it, arrived with a powerful punch. Packing the A15 Bionic chip into a familiar, compact design, Apple aimed to offer flagship performance at a more accessible price point. After weeks of daily use, I’m ready to share my in-depth review of the 64GB Midnight 5G International Version (Model Number: Iphone SE 3 64GB Midnight).

Features

The iPhone SE 3 retains the classic design we know and (some may) love. While some might miss a larger display, the 4.7-inch Retina HD display is surprisingly crisp and vibrant. The compact size makes it incredibly easy to handle and pocket. The A15 Bionic chip, typically found in the iPhone 13 series, delivers exceptional speed and responsiveness for everyday tasks and even some demanding games. The battery life, while not groundbreaking, easily lasted me a full day on a single charge with moderate usage. The inclusion of 5G connectivity is a major plus for faster download and streaming speeds.

Performance

The A15 Bionic is the star of the show. Apps launched instantaneously, multitasking was seamless, and even graphically intensive games ran smoothly. I was consistently impressed by its responsiveness, even when juggling multiple apps. The 3GB of RAM proved sufficient for my day-to-day activities. The camera, while a single lens, produced surprisingly good photos and videos, particularly in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance could be improved, but it’s still acceptable for casual snapshots.

The 60Hz refresh rate is noticeably less smooth than higher refresh rate displays found on more premium models, but it’s not a deal-breaker for most users. The fingerprint sensor worked reliably and quickly unlocking the phone without issue.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Powerful A15 Bionic Chip, Compact Design, Good Battery Life (for its size), 5G Connectivity, Crisp Retina HD Display, Affordable Price Point
• Cons: 60Hz Refresh Rate (can feel less smooth), Single Camera, Low-Light Camera Performance Could Be Better, No Expandable Storage

Final Verdict

The iPhone SE (2022) 64GB Midnight 5G International Version is a compelling option for users seeking a powerful, compact, and affordable iPhone. The A15 Bionic chip alone makes it a worthy upgrade for those coming from older models. While it may lack some of the bells and whistles found in higher-end iPhones, its performance and overall experience are incredibly impressive considering its price. If you prioritize power and portability over a larger display and multiple camera features, the iPhone SE 3 is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it.
