A little over a week ago Apple presented its new iPhone SE, a small device of only 4,7 inches but with an interior that many other phones would like and that is that the new member of the Cupertino family has nothing more and nothing more. less than with the A13 processor, the same as the iPhone 11 Pro, and costs just $ 399.
That is to say, at the same cost as a mid-to-high-end phone on Android, we get a top of the line Apple. Of course there are some cuts, but at least in terms of power this iPhone SE is unrivaled in the same price range. All this without forgetting that thanks to this processor, the little Apple will have many more years of support and updates than other much more expensive Android terminals. We wonder, is there anything like this in Android?
We are hoping for an iPhone SE for Android
The truth is, the launch of the new iPhone SE couldn't have come at a better time. While brands like Xiaomi or OnePlus that had always stood out for the launch of quite interesting smartphones at very low prices have announced 1.000 smartphones, the Cupertino company that had always been characterized by exorbitant prices, launches a smartphone with a high-end processor for just $ 399.
Its main goodness, beyond a processor and performance at the height of any high-end, lies in its compact size and is that as we said before, has a 4,7-inch screen. A dimension forgotten by the main producers of Android brands who in recent years have focused on making screens and phones bigger and bigger.
That is, in the end we find that the iPhone SE is a compact, powerful and relatively cheap terminal that will also receive updates for about five years. Is there anything similar in the Android catalog?
The main advantage of Android has always been its freedom when it comes to choosing a device. There are hundreds of smartphones from different brands, each with its own unique look, unique hardware and different price. It is true that for the 489 euros that the iPhone SE costs we have at our disposal a wide range of possibilities, incredible high ranges from previous years that as of 2020 are still a great option. Now none like the iPhone SE.
None of them are small in size since Android brands abandoned this market segment years ago, not forgetting that it is possible that some of them will stop receiving updates as soon as the company focuses on its new range caps. Even if the future Google Pixel 4a could be a competitor to the SE in terms of price, it would be inferior in terms of processor.
Ultimately there seems to be no iPhone SE for Android. A compact terminal of about 5 inches, with the latest generation processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 855) and with a price of about 400 dollars. It is certainly a niche market but undoubtedly a market segment that has just come back to life thanks to the new iPhone SE and from which Android has nothing to scratch. Why let's face it, this device will be sold by the thousands and the words iPhone and cheap never went hand in hand.
