Performance:

The newest offering from Apple is packed with the same A13 Bionic Chipset which is also seen on the iPhone 11 series. Notably, iPhone XR comes powered by an A12 Bionic chip, which is a generation older chipset. However, it is still among the fastest and best-in-class processors, as far as performance and power efficiency are concerned.

We all know that Apple does not reveal the battery capacity of iPhone devices. With iPhone SE 2020 it is no different. But the company claims that the affordable iPhone SE is packed with the same battery as seen on the iPhone 8. On the other hand, the iPhone XR comes with a 5W charging technology, supporting Qi-enabled wireless charging. Apple iPhone SE is offered in three storage options - 64GB, 128GB & 256GB, while the iPhone XR is seen in two storage configurations - 64GB & 128GB.

Verdict:

It is very much evident that both the iPhones are designed to offer the best performance with A-series chipset. However, the notable difference between the two phones is display and battery life. Moreover, the iPhone SE 2020 also misses out on the Face ID. It gets a Touch ID sensor on the Home Button. Apple iPhone SE 2020 is a viable option for the customers to purchase their first iPhone device. It would also be a great option for the buyers willing to compromise on the screen size, with performance being their main priority.
