In mid March, iPhone SE was released. Under the appearance of the iPhone 5s, the "heart" and camera of the iPhone 6s are beating. The entry price of 3299 yuan and the 4-inch small screen have attracted many users who want to return to the small screen.
Before the detailed evaluation, let's take a look at the most obvious appearance and screen differences between iPhone SE and iPhone 6s/5s:

Here is an interesting detail. The distance between the slot and the top of the fuselage of the four machines is exactly the same
6s behind, the front camera is on the left side of the receiver; Lower SE, its front is centered on the earpiece
There is no bright chamfer on the left SE side

The appearance and weight are almost the same, and the differences found are as follows:
Add pink (rose gold). If you want to identify yourself as an iPhone SE, the fastest way is to buy pink
There is no highlight chamfer on the side, and the previous bright surface has become frosted
SE words and iPhone words on the back have changed from hot silver to etching (no reflection)
The logo on the back of the apple has been changed to inlay. The logo material is more bright and hard and lower than the surrounding, which is not easy to scratch. There is a slight difference in height (the nail will get stuck if it slides).
It is concluded that the main changes are "lowering the profile":
Aesthetics: The 5/5s is the ancestor of the three-stage fuselage, with hard edges and corners, but low screen coverage. Although it is the "standard of beauty" in many people's minds, the appearance of the iPhone 5/5s/SE can only be seen from different perspectives. Compared with the current models, the black edge of the screen is relatively wide, and the white panel will be a bit eyesore. Virgos are recommended to wear black.
Workmanship: Apple rarely disappoints everyone, and SE still has the same appearance, so it is hard to have a reason for poor workmanship. The keys of the Bank of China A1723 All Netcom version test machine on our hand are tight and small, and the volume key does not shake when shaking. The gap between metal and plastic parts is small, and the fit is good. However, the Home key has obvious "snap" noise when pressed, and the feel and sound are very "brittle". I don't know whether it is an example or whether the new machine has changed its design.
feel: The single hand operability and feel of the 4-inch screen body must be better than many large screen machines. Because there is no need to stretch your fingers too much and it will not press the border, it is not harmful to the corners of your hands. It seems that the mobile phone has been lost for many years.

The iPhone SE directly uses the iPhone 5/5s screen (1136 × 640 resolution) and touch chip to display effect It is almost identical with the touch touch.
Maximum brightness contrast diagram
The brightness of the iPhone SE is quite high, more than 100 nits higher than that of the 6s, so there is no pressure to use it in daylight.

The brightness at the bottom of the screen is about 30 nits higher than that at the top, and the brightness uniformity is well controlled. Of course, the small size of the screen itself contributes greatly.
IPhone 6s four corner brightness map
Our iPhone 6s, which has been in use for more than half a year, has a big difference in the brightness of the four corners. The extreme difference is more than 80 nits, which is not very good.
The left side shows black with the highest brightness. There is a large gap between the black suppression of iPhone SE and 6s, but there is no obvious light leakage; On the right side is the desktop with the lowest brightness. The lowest brightness of the iPhone SE is brighter than that of the 6s. It will be dazzling when playing before sleep.
Screen test diagram
IPhone SE default mode, turn off the Night Shift function. The measured minimum brightness is 0.652 nites, the contrast is 947:1 (official nominal contrast is 800:1, 6s official standard is 1400:1), the color temperature is 7260K (actually not a big yellow screen), covering 96.4% SRGB color gamut.
The average deltaE of 104 colors is 2.6, the maximum is 5.6, and the gray scale deltaE is 3.7. Although the color standard does not reach the top, it is also excellent. For comparison, Note5 is 1.8, S6 edge+and iPhone 6s are 2.6, and S7 edge is 2.9.

The iPhone 6s displays a little red, while SE displays yellow. Compared with light colored occasions such as Figure 2 and Figure 3, SE tends to be yellow. Of course, this range is not large, and it can be easily found only by direct comparison.
Comparison of visual angles (SE on the left and 6s on the right)
The brightness attenuation of iPhone 6s at a large angle is more serious than that of SE, but it is obviously yellow at a large angle of SE. From a diagonal perspective, the lower left and upper right will turn blue and red, and the upper left and lower right will turn green. In addition, when viewed closely from a large angle, the SE screen will have "rainbow color" omni light, which is a certain distance from the appearance of 6s.
To sum up, although the iPhone SE screen maintains Apple's consistent color accuracy and high brightness, it is almost four years ago after all, with slightly lower contrast, slightly yellow color temperature, and slightly obvious color deviation at large angles. In addition, as many netizens reported, our testing machine also showed macula (the upper part of the screen, but the scope was small). It was not confirmed whether it was the reason for the first batch of goods or the common problem.
The complete detailed comparison will be completed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Please wait and see.
