iPhone SE 2020 is faster than Android phones for the same money

Those who hoped to buy a cheap iPhone, which is not inferior in performance to any of the iPhone 11, will have to disappoint. Yields. The clock frequency of the central processor in the Apple A13 for iPhone SE 2020 is artificially reduced. From harm (so that SE does not compete with the iPhone 11/11 Pro / 11 Pro Max), so that it does not overheat, or for some other reason - but alas, this is a fact. Now the good news: the iPhone SE 2020, despite lower clock speeds, is faster than expensive Android smartphones. Due to the fact that Apple uses its own chips, which can easily be optimized for a specific smartphone model, while achieving outstanding results.

iPhone SE 2 turned out to be more powerful than many Android phones, but did not bypass iPhone 11

The first second-generation iPhone SEs fell into the hands of customers today. One of the lucky owners immediately dismantled SE, side by side with the previously disassembled iPhone 8, and even shot a video about it. Found a lot of amazing things. The combination of a relatively low price and the same high performance as the expensive representatives of the trio iPhone 11 is almost the main reason for its acquisition. Everything is clear with the price: they have not deceived. As with performance - but let's take it in order.

Compare iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 11

In AnTuTu tests, the second-generation iPhone SE did not score even 500,000 points. Total 492 166. For iPhone 11 Pro Max, the final score is 537 154 points, for iPhone 11 Pro - 521 010 and 517 400 for iPhone 11. According to the results of most tests, iPhone SE is closer to iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max with on-chip system Apple A12 Bionic. Whatever it is caused, it is unpleasant.

3 GB of RAM - the main information you need to know

Nevertheless, this is not a cause for grief. In the list of apple devices sorted by the number of points they scored in AnTuTu tests, he would take eighth place, between the iPhone 11 (517,400 points) and the iPad Air 3 (482,611). In the list of all iPhone models ever sold by Apple, he would be fourth. Four of the seven devices that outstripped it in terms of performance are the 12.9- and 11-inch iPad Pro 2020 and 2018 with high-power processors A12X Bionic and Apple A12Z Bionic, which still have no equal among mobile devices of our time.

AnTuTu tests were not reproached with anything, but attempts to convict them of inaccuracy did not reveal any “crime”. Apple allegedly specifically optimizes its processors for these and some other tests - in order to look better against the background of competitors, but with this haters did nothing good. To achieve the best results in AnTuTu, spending time and effort on this is natural and reasonable. Real life is actually more complicated than the most sophisticated tests, but you can still believe the results of AnTuTu.

iPhone SE or Android phone? Comparison

iPhone SE almost reached the OnePlus 7T

According to Antutu, the iPhone SE 2020 would be in the list of the most productive Android smartphones in ninth place. Between OnePlus 7T (495,917 points), which costs about the same as the iPhone SE 2020, and realme X2 Pro (484,902 points), which in Russia is not much cheaper than SE. The results of the Samsung Galaxy S20 + (990), which has 502,264 points and seventh place in the Antutu ranking, surpasses the iPhone SE (492,166) in performance by a little more than 1000 points, which in my life is almost imperceptible.
