An updated version of Apple’s popular smartphone, the SE 2020 edition combines high-end features with a compact design.
One of the stand-outs, though, is the inclusion of Apple’s excellent A13 Bionic chipset. In a nutshell, this powerful processor means the phone will deliver seamless performance, plus the kind of specs you might see on a pricier handset.
And despite the single 12-megapixel camera, features like 5x digital zoom, portrait mode with advanced bokeh and depth control, plus 4K video recording mean you’ll still get your money’s worth.
With a smooth glass front and back, the iPhone SE 2020 is almost identical to the iPhone 8 – which isn’t a bad thing. It boasts a 4.7-inch retina display, Dolby Vison with HDR 10 and comes in black, white and (PRODUCT) RED colourways. In short, the iPhone SE 2020 edition is an excellent mid-range smartphone worth your money.

Google Pixel 4
Not bothered about owning the staple Apple or Samsung handset? The Google Pixel has a lot to offer.
Indeed, at 5.7-inches, its compact for a premium handset and boasts an excellent dual- camera setup, which includes a 12.2-megapixel main camera and a 16-megapixel tele-lens. Moreover, new portrait mode will mean you’ll get to take crystal clear photos, and zoom in on objects from far away without any trouble.
Other notable features include enhanced 90Hz display, face unlock, plus a motion sensor so you can do things like skip songs without unlocking the phone.
It’s also got a unique and practical design, too. Indeed, the aluminium frame black rubber coating makes the phone feel pretty sturdy and provides extra grip, especially when compared to today’s flagship handsets with glass backs.
