In March, Apple came out with an updated version of its cheapest phone, the iPhone SE. We thought we would compare the two to see how they stack up. The A53 5G can offer a better feature set, but it cannot match the quality of the iPhone SE.
More videos can be found on the MacRumors YouTube channel.
On paper, the A53 5G offers a wide suite of features that the iPhone can't match. When it comes to the display, for example, the A53 5G has a more modern edge-to-edge 6.5-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, while the iPhone SE has a smaller 4.7-inch display. The display is brighter, more vibrant, and at a higher resolution than the iPhone SE display.
The facial recognition and Touch ID features on the iPhone SE are more accurate than the Ultrasonic fingerprint reader on the phone from South Korea, which is slower and less accurate. It can be used for unlocking the phone, but not for making payments or passwords. Touch ID is still quick and easy to use even though it is being phased out.
The plastic used in the A53 5G feels cheaper than the glass used in the iPhone SE. It has a more premium feel than the average budget device, and it is made from better quality materials.
When it comes to battery life, the A53 5G is the winner because it offers almost double the capacity of the iPhone SE. The A53 is slower than the iPhone SE because it uses the same A15 chip. The phone has an Exynos chip that doesn't come close to measuring up. When it comes to storage, the base model of the phone starts at 128 gigabytes and can be expanded with an SD card slot, which is more than the 64 gigabytes of the iPhone SE.
The Apple's iPhone SE has a single-lens 12-megapixel wide-angle rear camera, while the South Korean company's S53 5G has a 64-megapixel wide-angle camera, a depth and macro sensor, and an ultra wide lens. The A15 that powers the iPhone SE has texture, detail, and HDR features that set it apart from other phones.
The only difference between the two phones is that the A53 5G is available for $349 right now, but it is technically priced at $449. That is less expensive than the iPhone SE, which starts at $429.
The A15 chip in the iPhone SE makes it stand out from the crowd. Apple will provide software updates, new features, and support for the iPhone SE for a good five to seven years, while the A53 5G won't be supported that long. Those looking for a phone that is going to last for a long time should check out the iPhone SE, it has a flashier set of features that may be immediately appealing.
