For the Apple fans, this is a win-win situation- after the introduction of this self proclaimed affordable smartphone by Apple, the options for consumers who want to experience the Apple ecosystem at a comparatively cheaper price has gone up. Not only the older iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 13 Mini but iPhone 11 is also in the mix. Now, we know we are comparing a former flagship device with an entry level Apple device, however, it will be interesting to see how a two-year old flagship smartphone compares with the latest iPhone with the top-end A15 Bionic SoC processor.

iPhone SE 3 vs iPhone 11: Specifications

The iPhone SE 3 has retained the overall build design of iPhone SE 2020 and features a 4.7-inch HD display. On the other hand, the iPhone 11 flaunts a larger 6.1-inch LCD display. Apple introduced the OLED display from iPhone 12 onwards, so in terms of picture resolution both the devices should be on par.

On to performance, the iPhone SE 3 equipped with Apple A15 Bionic SoC, the same one which powers the latest iPhone 13 lineup. The iPhone 11 is powered by the A13 Bionic chipset, which is quite dated. In the Apple event, the company claimed that the new iPhone SE 3 will be 1.8 times more powerful than iPhone 8 which is powered by A11 chipset. So, A13 should fare better than that, but it is easy to say that A15 will most likely beat it in terms of performance.

The iPhone SE 3 sports a single rear 12MP camera like the iPhone SE 2020 but with the new A15 Bionic chip, Apple claims its camera performance will witness a boost. It has a 7MP front facing camera. On the other end, iPhone 11 has a dual rear camera setup with a 12MP wide camera and a 12MP ultra wide camera. On the front, it has a 12MP camera.

The iPhone SE 3 has a home button and a fingerprint sensor (TouchID) built on it, whereas the iPhone 11 comes with FaceID. Another thing to note here is that the iPhone SE 3 will support 5G connectivity, while iPhone 11 only supports 4G bands.
