iPhone SE (2016) iPhone se has iPhone 8 not XR camera

More camera comparisons here:

It’s looking like a very good setup, even more so for the cost! Apple were right with their best single camera in an iPhone statement going by the comparisons I’ve seen so far.

this reviews doesn't really show the capabilities of camera . still waiting moments review to decide.for me important things are size and camera . this se is perfect form factor for me but not sure with the camera . will it worth the sacriface the smal form factor for a better camera ? I only care about the wide angle lens

They feature example shots of different scenes compared to other iPhone and Android models. Not sure what else they can do to show the capabilities.

It’s only beat by the 11 and 11 Pro models and very similar to the Pixel phones and obviously in low light the pixel has night mode. Pixel is still better, but not by the amount I think many thought.

It took better shots in the same lighting and subject than the 8, X, XR and you’d be hard pushed to find a noticeable difference against the 11 main lens unless you knew which took which and you really zoomed in.

SE (2nd Generation) are all on the right hand side.

And some more examples from reviewers... obviously these aren’t high quality but still, gives an idea...

This phone crushes XR's camera.

It is amazing what can be achieved through computational improvements alone now.

Very capable camera by the looks of it.

This phone crushes XR's camera.

Happy about that, as an XR user with an SE2 Walmart preorder in. And would hope so, compared to a phone from 1.5 years ago.

I was hoping Apple's 'best single camera lens iPhone' claim was a real one

And yet there were numerous idiots who said it was Apple’s usual marketing lies...

thanks for your posts above with example photos. I am impressed, and my concerns about the SE's camera are allayed. Whatever lens they are using, the results are very very good.

No worries they are only screen shots from video reviews but you can still see the differences.

Here are some more...

I can see differences in the above comparisons between 11/11 pro max/SE, but they are subtle. The picture of the multicolored books is probably the one with the biggest difference in image quality. The image quality from the SE is very good overall.

Can SE shoot in portrait mode for things, pets etc ?

QCassidy352 : Books ? I thought that are pencils.. Probably deep fusion make better sharpness..

Yes.

 

[Edd70]

Yes.

Sure about that? I’ve read in several places it only shoots people in portrait mode.

 

[MacFather]

Deleted.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

Yes.

No it can't. See post #67..

For crying out loud as others mentioned. Provide all the links and "proofs" you have so its a conversation.
However, listening to your arguments its clear that you don't understand the camera at all.
As from what we get is you are talking about the lens which is only one element of a camera (in this case).
Just to exaggarate the post, its the same like saying D90 is the same as D850 (Nikon) because they both have 50mm lens attached to it.
So if you do such claims, then support it with facts. As others mentioned, nothing is certain at this point. If you however have other resources that we don't then please share those.
Otherwise you sound like a crazy person and usually when someone says its "100%" that that person is usually "100% wrong".
So be constructive or don't be like a screaming kid. Its counter productive.

Look at the size of the camera not the spec sheet. It’s 100% the iPhone 8 camera there’s no argument.

Some evening but in town lighting shots and a zoom example...

Thank you for the correction.

HA you're right, I was viewing those as the spines of thin books…

 

[Pelea]

so the reviews are out and i was right all along even though when i first made this post people all thought it had the xr camera, just look at the like ratio per post.

Just shows how easy it is for apple to "suggest" ideas to people and have them falsely believe it without ever thinking.

 

[Freida]

Correct me if I'm wrong but would it be safe to say that SE is as good as 11 Pro?
I see some softness on the 5x zoom but otherwise it looks very close.
Any professional photographer that can pick up more, please?

Because from these it gives a very impressive result I think.

What do others think, please?

Apple have confirmed that the SE does not use the sensor from the iPhone 11. We also know that it uses an f1.8 six element lens and the A13 ISP. So those things are certain.
