iPhone SE Review!

When apple announced the iPhone SE, I wondered why people would buy it. It is claimed to be the iPhone 6 squeezed into the body of an iPhone 5S. Its A9 processor chip set and 4k video shooting seemed to good to be true in such a small body.

The iPhone seemed best for people with small hands or people who do not like the bigger screens of the newer phones but is it really the best option? Lets check it out!

New Features:

Besides the new rose gold color, the iPhone SE doesn't offer anything new. Besides being the cheapest iPhone currently in the market, It doesn't appeal too much. The phone is meant to be usable with one hand, making it easier to use while doing everyday things like holding a shopping bag in one hand and using the iPhone in the other. It's also good for people who didn't like the newer sets of larger phones. The smaller phones either lacked in the specs department or straight up were ugly. This iPhone seriously appealed to those people as it was seemingly a supercharged iPhone 5S. It features a 12 mega pixel iSight sensor camera. 4k video and ultra-slow-mo movie mode make it more appealing. The iPhone SE also packs quite a punch in the processing department, featuring the new A9 chip, the M9 co-processor and 2GB of RAM. 

The battery life is one of the upgrades I liked best. Although it only has a small upgrade from the iPhone 5s battery, from 1560 mAh to 1624 mAh, it feels like a big change. The battery life is very impressive.

Screen and Design:

The design is exactly the same as to the design of the iPhone 5s, pretty obvious by now.

The finish on the phone is beautiful, as apple is known to make. Also the new rose gold color makes it look more premium than it may be. The iPhone weighs 113 grams, making it extremely light.

The thing I didn't appreciate though is the screen. Like the body, it also is the older screen from the iPhone 5S. Although its a retina display, the screen lacks immediate sharpness. This is quite disappointing as apple is known to have great screens in there iPad line. The iPhone SE has an LCD screen, but it should have had a better screen compared to its specs.

Watching movies isn't the best experience but gaming is just fine. The sound quality is nice and quite impressive. The sound is always quite clear making it great.

Specs and Performance:

Of course the iPhone is much faster in terms of performance than the iPhone 5s thanks to its great chip set. It works smoothly and still doesn't cease to amaze me. The iPhone has the older version of touch ID but the difference isn't too noticeable, considering the price margin in between the SE and the newer iPhones.

IT is running the legendary iOS. The problem I faced here was the keyboard. Apples keyboard combined with the smaller screen made it hard for me to type, forcing me to download SwiftKey, the keyboard app.

Camera:

The iPhone camera is exciting. It has 12 megapixels with focus pixels, pixels focused on focusing. It also contains the fancy technology as the newer iPhones. The camera app is simple, making it easy to use. The 4k video is simply amazing but I still wouldn't compare it to the newer flagships. 

Final Thoughts:

I liked the iPhone's ability to be used in one hand but i hate the fact that apple hasn't made a new design. It also has a great battery life and performance due to its newer processor. The camera is also pretty good and is quite sharp. The screen is the main factor for me not liking it too much. It looks cheap to me and undesirable.

But looking at the iPhone overall and the price, it isn't too bad of a phone. The iPhone 5SE is great for people looking for an average phone and don't mind the old design.

Comment your views on the iPhone and the phones you would like me to review next.

Understanding Chemistry!

Hello, My name is Siraj Zafar, and today I will help you understand Chemistry (as a subject). Chemistry is a branch of the gigantic tree of science. It is the study of the composition, the structure, the physical characteristics, and the change of matter. In other, more easy words, it is the study of chemicals and what they do. A few examples of chemicals are Na (sodium), Ca (calcium), and He (helium).

A very rough picture of the structure of an atom. The Brownish-red color is the nucleus, the yellow dots are protons, and the green dots are neutrons. the blue dots revolving around the nucleus are electrons. 

The nucleus of an atom contains the protons and neutrons. The electrons revolve around the nucleus. Protons, electrons, and neutrons are also known as sub-atomic particles. Memorize them as PEN. P for proton, E for electron, and  N for neutron. The proton is a positively charged particle with a relative mass of 1. The neutron is not charged as it is a neutral particle. It also has a relative mass of 1. The electron is a negatively charged particle but it only has a mass of 1/1850. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the numbers of electrons.

This is the periodic table of elements. It arranges all of the known elements in the world by number of proton. We will study these in depth later on.

The periodic table will be studied in depth later on. The elements are arranged by it symbol, in the center, the number of protons or atomic number in the top left corner and the atomic mass, or total mass excluding electron mass in the bottom.
