The CPU performance of iPhone SE 16GB

The processing power of the "iPhone SE 16GB" is comparatively low at 1.85GHz×2(2.0-cores). You'll most likely notice its lack of power when running games or playing videos. However, you shouldn't have any problems making calls, browsing the internet or using apps like Twitter or Instagram.

The "iPhone SE 16GB" has 2.0GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.

My impression of the overall operation speed of the "iPhone SE 16GB" is at about the mid- to low-end of smartphones. If you use it normally, you likely won't run into any problems, but at times you will notice what it lacks.

iPhone SE 16GB 's storage capacity

The battery of the "iPhone SE 16GB" has a capacity of 1624.0mAh, which is rather low. Compared to other smartphones, the battery life of the "iPhone SE 16GB" is not very good.
