iPhone SE (2020) vs iPhone XR Comparison

Bigger screen size of iPhone XR vs iPhone SE (2020)

Who should buy the refurbished iPhone XR? Anybody that wants a plus-sized iPhone on a budget and spends a lot of time on their device. The iPhone XR has a much bigger screen than the iPhone SE 2 (6.1” vs 4.7”), and thanks to its larger size, it’s able to house a much larger battery (2942mAh vs 1821mAh). So if you’re the kind of user that spends a lot of time watching videos and reading a lot of digital content, we’d probably suggest getting the XR.

Better processor in iPhone SE 2 vs XR

Sure, the XR may have a larger screen and more battery life, but there are still a few more factors to mention in this iPhone XR vs SE 2020 comparison. For one, the iPhone SE 2020 has a slightly newer processor (A13 Bionic vs A12 Bionic) and camera software. Therefore, you can expect the iPhone SE to be slightly faster at things like mobile gaming and opening up different apps, and you can also expect images to be slightly sharper and have a better dynamic range (more accurate distribution of colours throughout the image).

Touch ID iPhone SE 2 vs iPhone XR Face ID

There’s one more small difference between the iPhone SE 2 vs XR: the SE utilizes Touch ID in the home button for authentication (using your fingerprint), while the iPhone XR has Face ID sensors inside the notch of the device (it scans your face). They’re both fast systems, and whichever one you prefer is subjective. Or maybe you prefer unlocking your phone with a passcode, in which case this factor is irrelevant.

iPhone SE (2020) vs XR: which one should you buy?

Whichever one of these phones you may want to buy really depends on what kind of smartphone user you are. If you want a compact phone for a relatively active lifestyle, the SE 2 may be a better choice for you. If you’re a relatively heavy smartphone user that spends a lot of time on their device in the course of the day, you may want to buy the XR to get that bigger screen and additional battery life.

We hope this iPhone XR vs SE 2020 comparison was helpful in giving you a better idea of which device you should buy :)
