Video Recording
The iPhone SE’s video recording is also taking advantage of the new power of the A13, notably improving the quality of the stream captured.
The biggest differences between the new iPhone SE and the iPhone 8 is the much-improved dynamic range of the video, as the new HDR implementation vastly surpasses the video quality we’ve seen on the older phone.
What’s also new the EIS that’s a lot more evident in the iPhone SE – actually I find it quite too evident as there’s some very noticeable judder and loss of detail every time the EIS repositions itself. There’s also some evident frame warping going on when the EIS tries to stabilize for tilt of the frame – the video here isn’t nearly as steady as the much superior OIS of the iPhone 11.
Lastly, the audio of the iPhone SE is again leagues ahead of the iPhone 8 simply due to the fact that this is now a stereo recording phone rather than mono. Clarity of the audio however again doesn’t quite match what the iPhone 11 is able to record.

Why is it wasted? Should make it last many years, as long as the 3 GB RAM doesn't limit it, that is…nfineon - Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - link

$399 is only the promotional price used in the US (not including tax), the actual price globally is higher.

Wow I can't believe the love this phone is getting.Such an outdated design, CPU and GPU performance matter so little to the consumer now. They've been more than powerful enough for years.
To put out such a lazy rehashed design just shows how complacent Apple are and the fact it's getting such praise shows just why they have gotten so complacent.
This simply wouldn't be acceptable in the Android world.

It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Lada.
