The tech world is buzzing with anticipation for the release of the new iPhone models this year. While the design of the iPhone 16 series seems to be set in stone based on current leaks, the addition of Apple’s AI features is expected to be a major selling point, potentially sparking a wave of upgrades. However, beyond the iPhone 16 series, the much-anticipated iPhone SE4 has also brought good news.
Recently, a set of concept designs for the iPhone SE4 was leaked by foreign media, revealing a smartphone that is set to make a splash with its impressive upgrades across the board. If Apple launches this model next year, it’s sure to be a game-changer. The iPhone SE4 concept features a notch screen, new 3D facial recognition for unlocking, and an all-new dual rear camera setup, all at a surprisingly affordable price!
The previous three generations of the iPhone SE series all featured large bezels with a physical Home button and support for fingerprint recognition. The iPhone SE4, however, has undergone a leap in upgrades, with both its appearance and functionality seeing a comprehensive transformation. The concept images already show significant changes.
For the first time, the screen adopts a notch design, which, despite being jokingly referred to as “outdated” by netizens, suits the iPhone SE4 perfectly. After all, this model is positioned as a mid-range device, and there will inevitably be differences in appearance compared to the standard iPhone models. Nevertheless, the iPhone SE4 is still set to impress, with the screen featuring a new OLED panel and the body casing redesigned from scratch.
The reason for the redesign of the body is mainly due to the narrower notch of the iPhone SE4, which is also thinner in length than the iPhone 14. However, this design also brings an advantage: a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio. The iPhone SE4 has a screen size of 5.4 inches, which is almost the same as the iPhone 13 mini, but still larger than the screen of the iPhone SE3.
Overall, the iPhone SE4 is expected to be a small-screen smartphone. After all, most current smartphones are above 6 inches, and the larger screens provide excellent display effects. However, there are many enthusiasts for small screens, which are more friendly for one-handed operation and portability. It’s worth noting that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max have screens that have been increased to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, making small-screen smartphones even more distinctive.
In terms of the camera module, the iPhone SE4 also welcomes a significant upgrade. The concept images show that it is equipped with a dual rear camera, with the main camera having a pixel count of 12 million, and the other being a macro lens. Although there is no ultra-wide-angle lens or telephoto lens, having dual lenses is already quite remarkable.
The main camera has an aperture of F/1.6, the same as the iPhone 15, but the pixel count has not been upgraded. The macro lens supports shooting at a distance of 1.5 centimeters, which will also play an important role. The interesting design of the camera frame, with a diagonal dual-camera arrangement and a rectangular frame, looks similar to the iPhone 15’s camera frame, but there is still a certain gap in shooting performance.
The iPhone SE4 is equipped with the A16 processor, which can match the performance of the iPhone 15. In fact, the advantage of Apple’s mobile phones has always been in the hardware, and the processors of each generation of the iPhone SE series are very advanced. This is the reason why everyone likes the iPhone SE, even if the appearance is a bit outdated, the performance will never disappoint. The iPhone SE4 is indeed Apple’s game-changing phone, and just the processor is very attractive.
However, the iPhone SE4 has 6GB of memory, so even with the A16 Bionic chip, it still cannot use all of Apple’s AI features. But, considering that the iPhone SE4 is a mid-range Apple phone, it is understandable that some features are limited.
In terms of pricing strategy, the iPhone SE4 is likely to be priced at no more than 3,500 yuan, but the storage starts at 64GB, which is a bit stingy. Nowadays, most smartphones start at 128GB, and 64GB of storage is simply not enough. If you want to increase the storage, you have to pay more, so the 128GB iPhone SE4 is expected to be close to 4,000 yuan. Of course, this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed.
Although the iPhone SE4 has undergone a comprehensive explosive upgrade, it is still just a concept phone. Before the real machine is released, everyone should just take a look at this Apple concept phone and not take it too seriously. Dear friends, what do you think of the iPhone SE4 concept phone?
