Spring brings a wave of budget ads, and it can be said that these phones are affordable more exciting than the leading market today. The reason for this increasing interest? these The phones have made reasonable prices to the point that anyone who is considering spending their hard -won money on a device like Galaxy S25 Ultra or IPhone 16 Pro Max may want to reconsider. And talk about iPhone devices, which is one of the most long -awaited things Budget phones We expect to see this year (in fact, next week) is IPhone SE 4. Rumors indicate the following The iPhone SE will have great promotions, which finally makes the device in line with modern smartphones.

One of the continuous rumors in particular has a lot of eyebrows: Apple may stick to one rear camera. Apparently, Apple is still considering sticking to only one camera at the back of iPhone SE 4. This is a baffling option for several reasons. First, all competition, such as Galaxy A35/55, Pixel 8A and even Noteing (2A) Plus contains at least two cameras, usually the secondary aspiration throughout the vast.

So, the question I am trying to answer here is why this Apple is doing? Is it one of those cases that the company believes that it knows what users want?

Well, according to a recent poll, some wanted and used the secondary camera (usually at its level) on their budget phone, but most of them claim that one camera has a wonderful performance enough. So let’s dive in the deeper and see how these additional cameras really perform and whether Apple can again escape from one if it is good enough.

SE 4 camera: capabilities and promises

Well, we have one camera again, but what do we know about it? It may be very good for users not to need a secondary camera, although this is difficult to believe …

Well, for beginners, the image sensor is said to be 48 megapixels, just like the latest pioneering models. This is the same jump in the decision that we had when I submitted Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. However, there is no information about the image sensor exactly.

If the 48 -megapixel camera is the same as the camera on iPhone 15, we are in a big jump in image quality, as this phone was working very well for a non -PRO device in our phone’s camera. Check yourself:

This sample footage to give you a sense of image quality:

In short, and iphone 15 The camera provides more details, more severe pictures, improving low -light performance, and a broader dynamic range. And if Apple is truly finished running the SE4 with the A18 processor (the same processor (the same processor IPhone 16), camera improvements will be more impressive.

A 48 -megapixel camera will be a major selling point for iPhone SE 4Especially at the expected $ 499. But does one excellent camera excel in the ingenuity of multiple lenses?

Specialization for ingenuity: How can you accumulate SE 4

Therefore, we talked about the capabilities of the SE 4 camera, but how to measure competition in the real world? Let’s dive into some of the main competitors and take a look at how to perform them during our camera tests.

Google Pixel 8A

the Pixel 8A It is famous for filming her arithmetic. It comes with the same 64 -megapixel main camera like its predecessor, but thanks to the Google algorithms, it provides great results.

Depending on our tests, the main camera has 74 degrees pictures and 71 degrees video. The camera around the world has achieved 20 decent. It lacks the same levels of details and data look fog compared to those captured with the main camera, but they are definitely used.

If SE 4 comes with the same 48 -megapixel sensor inside iphone 15It should be better in a large amount, as the photo sensor achieved 82 and video degree 77 during our review of iphone 15. On the other hand, without a lens at the level, SE 4 will not score any points in the test on a large scale, which leads to a total degree.

Samsung Galaxy A35 5G

Galaxy A35 is the only competitor that provides three cameras: a 50 -megapixel main camera, 8 megapixels, and a 5 -megapixel micro lens. However, the third (macro) camera is notorious because it is only to attract buyers by simulating more expensive models, but it actually provides the quality of a sub -level image and lacks the multiple uses of the lens.

A35 got 76 photos and a 68 -score video in our test, while The Ultra Wide Got 21. The extensive photos are more than usable when you have the right lighting conditions.

However, A35 disappointed when it comes to installing the video. This is one of the areas where Apple works very well, and with the new 48 -megapixel camera, we expect SE 4 to have a feature of video quality compared to Samsung. Therefore, somehow, you are circulating widely to better record the video.

Nothing phone (2a) plus

The Noteing (2A) has 50 sensors for its main and sophisticated cameras. While its main camera reached 72 points of the photos thanks to good details, somewhat fine colors, and sharpening less aggressive. However, it is not very good at all, which led to 17 points.

Looking at the weak performance of the Noteing (2A) lens, it is unlikely that buyers swing away from iPhone SE 4.

It is not only related to the camera, but rather a full package

Therefore, after taking a look at the performance of the secondary cameras, the conclusion is clear. A large -scale camera can be useful, as long as it is decent like that in Pixel 8A And Galaxy A35. But when most people look to buy a phone, they not only care about the performance of the camera, they look at other factors as well.

First of all, you have to think about the camera that tends to use, which is always the main camera always – and for this reason it is called “MAIN”. In other words, it weighs more on the value of the camera system compared to secondary options.

If Apple brings a 48 -megapixel camera from iphone 15It can be said that it will be the best in its chapter, although Pixel 9A may change this when it arrives. However, with a very powerful A18 slides group, benefits may outweigh the beneficial additional camera benefits. Yes, you will not get this super perspective presented by super offers, but do you really need a lot?

Although a very large -scale audio minority, our survey and the public market indicate that the main main camera, along with the Apple ecosystem and other features, may be sufficient to make iPhone SE 4 Success, even with one lens.

Therefore, to answer the question I asked at the beginning, Apple was not escaped from providing a phone of $ 500 with one camera, but I am ready to bet that this would change with iPhone SE 4. The only phone with better performance ability in the market is Pixel 9ABut this remains to see.

What are your thoughts on this topic? Are you satisfied with one camera if it is good like the pioneer and the rest of the phone is great? I think I will do.
