![]() ![]() While our Tech Editor Darragh Murphy adores the 2020 iPhone SE, I have a less rosy perception of the new SE’s predecessor due to its short battery life. I can’t tell you how many times I’d charge my SE 2020 to 100% and shout “How is this happening?!” after realizing the battery drained to 10% in just a few hours.Īah! Talking about the iPhone SE and battery life brings back triggering memories. While our Editor Darragh Murphy adores the 2020 iPhone SE, I have a less rosy perception of the new SE’s predecessor due to its short battery life. iPhone 13 mini: Battery lifeĪah! Talking about the iPhone SE and battery life brings back triggering memories. Winner: iPhone 13 mini iPhone SE 2022 vs. We don’t have iPhone SE 2022 image samples yet, but if you want to check out how the mini’s cameras perform, take a look at the galleries featured inside our iPhone 13 mini review. It also taps into Apple’s TrueDepth system for Face ID and an enhanced Portrait mode. And let’s not forget about the mini’s 12MP front-facing camera, which is ideal for selfies. Last year, Apple updated the wide lens to 1.7µm pixels (up from 1.4µm) to offer better low-light performance, and the ultra-wide lens received Night Mode support. The iPhone 13 mini comes with a rear dual-camera setup: a 12MP, f/1.6 wide-angle primary sensor and a f/2.4, 12MP ultra-wide lens.

When Laptop Mag’s Assistant Managing Editor, Sean Riley, reviewed the iPhone 13 mini, he was impressed with how well Night Mode worked behind the scenes to enhance pictures taken in dim lighting. The iPhone 13 mini has Night Mode that is automatically triggered in dim environments, which works to decrease noise in pictures. If you love going out for late-afternoon strolls or enjoying your town’s nightlife, the iPhone SE 2022 won’t cut it for you. Although Apple claims that the A15 Bionic chip enhances the SE’s photos in low-light settings, it doesn’t have Night Mode. The iPhone 13 mini packs the same software goodies as the iPhone SE 2022, but has extra features that may catch your eye. ![]() The iPhone SE 2022 also boasts Smart HDR 4 (refines contrast, lighting and more with the latest software) and Deep Fusion (optimizes for texture and detail). Now, iPhone SE 2022 users can mess around with Photographic Styles, too, thanks to the device’s updated computational photography capabilities. When Apple introduced the iPhone 13 line last year, it made a big to-do about new features such as Photographic Styles, which lets you fiddle with tone and warmth while preserving the subject’s skin tone. ![]() Thanks to the chip’s custom-built Image Signal Processor (ISP), the iPhone SE's camera software experience is much better than its predecessor. Fortunately, its A15 Bionic chip swoops in to save it from mediocrity. It has a 12-megapixel, f/1.8 wide lens on the back and a 7MP, f/2.2 selfie camera on the front. Yawn! The iPhone SE 2022’s camera hardware specs are less than exciting. The iPhone SE 2022 produced a score of 1,943, but got eclipsed by the mini (2,423). We also put both phones through the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme stress test, a graphics benchmark that reveals whether a device can handle intense mobile gaming. The iPhone SE 2022 yielded a score of 215, surpassing the mini’s score of 205 by a hair. It’s interesting to note, however, that the iPhone SE 2022 crushed the iPhone 13 mini on Jetstream 2, a benchmark designed to show how well a device runs through webpages. The iPhone SE 2022 produced a score of 4,482. On the Geekbench 5 overall performance test, the iPhone 13 mini notched a multi-core score of 4,643. The iPhone 13 mini has a screen-to-body ratio of 85%, which crushes the SE’s screen real estate (65%).Īs such, the A15 Bionic is overflowing with processing power for both the iPhone SE 2022 and iPhone 13 mini. Its 5.4-inch panel is larger than the new SE’s Retina IPS LCD 4.7-inch screen. The iPhone 13 mini’s Super Retina XDR OLED display is inarguably better. With dimensions of 5.18 x 2.53 x 0.30 inches, it has a smaller form factor than the iPhone SE 2022 (5.45 x 2.65 x 0.29 inches), but it’s a hair thicker. I can’t say the same for the iPhone SE 2022.Īt 4.97 ounces, the iPhone 13 mini is negligibly lighter than the iPhone SE 2022 (5.02 ounces). The sides are wide enough that the iPhone 13 mini can stand on its own “two feet” on flat surfaces, whether you position it horizontally or vertically. It has a squared-off appearance with flat-edge, aluminum sides. ![]() The iPhone 13 mini, on the other hand, features Apple’s modern design language, which is ironically inspired by the iPhone 4.
