Those who were hoping to buy a cheap iPhone that is not inferior in performance to any of the iPhone 11 will have to be disappointed. Gives in. The clock speed of the central processor in the Apple A13 for iPhone SE 2020 has been artificially reduced. Out of harm (so that the 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: iPhone SE 2020, despite the reduced clock speed, 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 beat the iPhone 11
The first iPhone SE of the second generation fell into the hands of customers today, satisfied photos are already being posted in our Telegram chat, and some have already managed to get this smartphone at their complete and undivided disposal. One of the lucky owners immediately disassembled the SE , side by side with a pre-disassembled iPhone 8, and even made a video about it. I discovered a lot of surprising things. But read about it here. And we'll take care of the test results. The combination of a relatively low price with the same high performance as the expensive members of the iPhone 11 trio is perhaps the main reason for purchasing it. Everything is clear about the price: they didn’t deceive us. As with performance - but let's take it in order.
Comparison of iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 11
AnTuTu tests, the second generation iPhone SE did not score even 500,000 points. Total 492,166 . The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a final score of 537,154 points , the iPhone 11 Pro has a final score of 521,010 and the iPhone 11 has a final score of 517,400 . According to the results of most tests, the iPhone SE is closer to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max with the Apple A12 Bionic system-on-chip. Whatever caused it, it's unpleasant.
The only test in which the iPhone SE was on par with the trio of “older comrades” was the test for memory access speed.
3 GB of RAM - the main information you need to know
However, this is not a reason to be upset. In a list of Apple devices sorted by the number of points they scored in AnTuTu tests, it would take eighth place, between the iPhone 11 (517,400 points) and the iPad Air 3 (482,611). On the list of all iPhone models ever sold by Apple, it would be fourth. Four of the seven devices ahead of it in terms of performance are the 12.9- and 11-inch iPad Pro 2020 and 2020 with high-power Apple A12X Bionic and Apple A12Z Bionic processors, which still have no equal among mobile devices of our time.
AnTuTu tests were reproached with everything, but attempts to catch them inaccurately did not reveal any “crime”. Apple allegedly specially optimizes its processors for these and some other tests - in order to look better against the competition, but the haters didn’t do anything good with this either. Achieving better results in AnTuTu by spending time and effort on it is natural and reasonable. Real life is indeed more complex than the most sophisticated tests, but you can still trust the AnTuTu results.
iPhone SE 2020: what you need to know about Apple's most profitable smartphone
iPhone 12 Pro Max with A14 Bionic chip appeared in AnTuTu
Reward accrued
This news was written by a site visitor and a reward was awarded for it.
Today, a device designated as iPhone 13.4 appeared in the AnTuTu database. The screen size and processor frequency of the new phone are unknown. However, the screen resolution is 2688 × 1242, which is the same as the iPhone 11 Pro Max smartphone. Thus, there are widespread reports that this device could be the iPhone 12 Pro Max. According to AnTuTu, the "iPhone 13.4" uses 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is not the same as the iPhone 11 Pro Max, which has 4GB of RAM and does not have 128GB of storage.

The resulting test result has a value of 572,333 points. From this score, the CPU score is 167527 points, the GPU score is 222071 points, the memory score is 100808 points, and the UX score is 81927 points. Comparing the results with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, the overall score increased by 9.1%, while the CPU, GPU and memory scores increased by 16.7%, 3.6% and 21.9% respectively, and the UX score decreased by 2.1%.
According to Apple's official statement, the A14 Bionic processor should be 40% more productive. Compared to A13, A14 processor performance is approximately 16.7% higher. The A14 GPU performance is about 8.3% better than the A13.
Antutu notes that UX performance is significantly affected by screen refresh rate, but the UX performance of the iPhone 12 Pro Max has not improved compared to the iPhone 11 Pro Max. From this we can conclude that the iPhone 12 Pro Max will most likely have a 60Hz screen and will not support 120Hz mode.
Based on the results, the A14's improvements over the A13 don't look as impressive as we'd like, especially from a GPU perspective. Of course, the Antutu test is just a synthetic test, and performance results in real applications may be more optimistic. Current results may not reflect actual A14 performance. In addition, there is a possibility that testing was carried out on an earlier version of the updated operating system.
iPhone SE or Android phone? Comparison
iPhone SE just fell short of OnePlus 7T
According to Antutu results, iPhone SE 2020 would be in ninth place in the list of the most productive Android smartphones. Between the OnePlus 7T (495,917 points), which costs about the same as the iPhone SE 2020, and the realme X2 Pro (484,902 points), which is not much cheaper than the SE in Russia. Results Samsung Galaxy S20+ (990), which has 502,264 points and seventh place in the Antutu rating, surpasses the iPhone SE (492,166) in performance by a little more than 1000 points, which in real life, in my opinion, is almost imperceptible. So why pay more ?
Which is faster: iOS 13 or iOS 14
Comparing the performance of smartphones consisted of sequentially checking the startup speed, and then running installed applications and games on two identical devices with different versions of iOS, and also running them in several benchmarks in order to compare the synthetic change in performance. This may not be the most objective test, given that the blogger does not compare, for example, the speed of editing or photo processing. But since applications are launched by everyone at all times, the test as a whole can be considered relevant.
iOS 14 introduces a mini-game from the iPod Classic. Where to find it and how to play
Despite the fact that smartphones of different generations took part in testing, there were no fundamental differences in the speed of their response on iOS 14 compared to iOS 13.7. What we can definitely say is that on older devices the startup speed has decreased somewhat, and loading Apple Maps - especially when using the panoramic mode - began to be jerky. But, most likely, this is not so much a matter of hardware as of optimization, because this effect is noticeable on all iPhone models.
Design
In terms of its design, the 2nd generation iPhone SE is a clear representative of the last decade. This happens, of course, due to the display with wide frames, which occupy a considerable part of the front surface of the case.
The iPhone XR is a noticeably more modern smartphone with narrow bezels around the perimeter of the screen. They're not as narrow as the iPhone 11 Pro or even the iPhone XS, but compared to the 2nd generation iPhone SE, the difference is stark.

If we do not take into account the front surface of smartphones, then in general they are very similar. They have identical body shapes with rounded corners and edges and glass back and front surfaces, connected by an aluminum frame painted in the color of the body.
As a 4.7-inch smartphone, the 2nd generation iPhone SE is more compact than the iPhone XR.
- Dimensions iPhone SE (2020): 138.4×67.3×7.3 mm
- Dimensions iPhone XR: 150.9 × 75.7 × 8.3 mm
Note that the iPhone XR is thicker than the 2nd generation iPhone SE by a full millimeter. This is due to the fact that the smartphone has a battery with a larger capacity.
In addition, iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone XR perform in different “weight categories”.
- iPhone SE (2020) weight: 148 g
- iPhone XR weight: 194 g
The 2nd generation iPhone SE comes in three colors: black, white and red .

iPhone XR is available in six colors: black, white, blue, yellow, coral and red .

What's better? The iPhone XR looks much more modern due to its smaller display bezels. However, choosing a smartphone based on appearance is always a subjective matter, so decide based on your personal preferences. Many users admit that they do not like the top “notch” frame of the iPhone XR, and therefore they prefer the design of the 2nd generation iPhone SE.
iPhone X results in GeekBench 4 benchmark
The GeekBench 4 test is focused on evaluating processor performance. Its beauty is that it is cross-platform and allows you to evaluate not only smartphones on iOS and Android, but also computers running Windows, MacOS and Linux. This makes it possible to visually compare ARM processors for smartphones with computer chips based on x86-64 architecture.
iPhone X test results are already in the GeekBench database. According to the benchmark data, it scores 4272 points in single-core mode. In multi-core testing, the processor shows almost 10.5 thousand points. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S8 in the American version (on Snapdragon 835) shows about 1800 in the single-core test, and 6259 in multi-threaded testing. Meizu M7 Plus based on MediaTek Helio X30 produces even less: about 1800 and 5800, respectively. Well, last year’s iPhone 7 in iOS 11 demonstrates 3400 and 5900, in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

The iPhone X's GeekBench benchmark scores are very high. To clearly understand how fast the Apple A11 Bionic chipset is, I’ll give an example of the performance of my computers. So, a laptop based on an Intel Core i5-3317U processor produces 2223 points in single-core mode, and in multi-threaded mode it falls just short of 4000. That’s okay, the laptop is not new, a 2013 model. But a new PC with an Intel Core i5-7600 processor produces 4463 points in the single-core test, and 4 cores give 12276 points.
Thus, it turns out that the iPhone X processor is only slightly inferior to the current Intel desktop CPU. Just 5 years ago, no one would have believed that a smartphone processor would be comparable in performance to a full-fledged CPU for a desktop computer, released in the same year, and 10 years ago, they would have completely doubted the adequacy of those who said this. After all, at that time PCs already used quad-core Intel Core 2 Quad processors with frequencies of 3 GHz or more, and the first iPhone ran on a single-core Samsung SoC with a core frequency of 412 MHz.

Apple introduced the new flagships iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X. One of the important innovations in them was the appearance of the Apple A11 Bionic SoC. The number of cores in the chipset has increased to 6, and the 7th generation PowerVR graphics have been replaced by a GPU of Apple’s own design (although, most likely, not without developments from the same Imagination). At the same time, engineers took care of the energy efficiency of the chip: despite the reduction in battery, the manufacturer claims that the new iPhones work 2 hours longer than their predecessors.
Apple smartphones regularly find themselves in the TOP 10 most powerful devices in the AnTuTu test, ever since the developers created unified test sets and ratings for the iOS and Android platforms. Therefore, the question of how much the iPhone X scores in AnTuTu interests many smartphone users. The same goes for Geekbench tests.
