| iPhone SE: better battery life than iPhone 6s? (Credit: Apple) |
We already know it’s Apple’s cheapest phone (starting at $399), uses a fast A9 processor, and has the latest Apple camera tech. And now we’re getting our first indications that it has excellent battery life.
The Wall Street Journal’s early review said the “standout news is battery life.” Based on the Journal’s stress test, the SE lasted 10 hours. That beats both the iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s by two hours and is about three hours longer than the Galaxy S7, according to the Journal.
It is important to note that the iPhone SE has a lower-resolution (1,136-by-640) display compared to the iPhone 6s’ larger 4.7-inch (1,334-by-750) screen. And considerably lower resolution than the Galaxy S7′s 5.1-incher (2,560-by-1,440), as pointed out by Mac Rumors. Typically, the larger and higher-resolution the display, the bigger the impact on battery life. The iPhone SE also does not come with 3D Touch support — albeit a feature that relatively few consumers would notice.
