An Alleged iPhone SE 2 Video Leaks Online

After being initially announced two years back, the iPhone SE was specially launched for the iPhone 5S lovers who did not particularly want to move to a larger screen. The iPhone SE came with the latest processor and features in a familiar iPhone-5S-like body.

A fake video of the newer iPhone SE model with an iPhone X like display was doing rounds on the internet. As per the latest reports, the new iPhone SE  2 will come with a lot of changes, and it will borrow several features from iPhone X – the present Apple flagship.

iPhone SE 2 – Leaked Details

iPhone SE 2 may come with a glass back panel to support wireless charging with a better display this time. It is also expected to retain the 3.5mm headphone jack.

iPhone SE 2 will continue to carry the 4-inch display, but it may expand its bezels this time. The iPhone SE 2 will probably feature Apple A10 Fusion chipset with 2GB of RAM. There will be two variants – a base version of 32GB and a top model of 128GB.

The iPhone SE 2 may also feature a notch at the top with a touch ID sensor and a physical home button at the bottom, just like iPhone 5S.

Coming to the camera, the iPhone SE 2 will come with the same iPhone SE 12 megapixel rear shooter and a 1.2-megapixel front-facing shooter. This time around, the iPhone SE 2 will come with better low light imaging capabilities.

The iPhone SE 2 will come in the usual silver, gold, rose gold and space grey colours. In India, the device is expected to be priced somewhere between Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000.
