Are you looking for a new phone today? Explore our collection of refurbished iPhones. Save time and money when you shop with us.

• Sleek Design: Looks like the original iPhone SE, but better.

• Compacted Size: Want a smaller phone that still packs a punch? The iPhone SE 2020 could be the one for you.

• Refurbished: Get all this for a more affordable price.

When it comes to smartphones, the term "refurbished" often gets a bad reputation.

Many assume it means worn-out or second-hand, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

Allow me to clarify.

Refurbished phones like the iPhone SE 2020 are devices returned to the manufacturer or retailer for a variety of reasons.

Perhaps the original owner wasn't thrilled about the battery life, or maybe they simply changed their minds about the touch ID feature.

Regardless, these devices go through rigorous quality checks, software updates, and sometimes even hardware replacements to ensure they largely meet the same standards as a new iPhone fresh out of the box.

Plus, you can often decide the physical quality of the phone yourself, like with UR.co.uk!

Just select whether you want a Good quality phone showing some visible scratches, one with Excellent quality showing minor scratches invisible beyond 30cm away, or a Premium quality device that looks practically brand-new on purchase.

Already convinced? Look at our refurbished iPhone SE 2020 64GB  and refurbished iPhone SE 2020 128GB to see for yourself.

If you're nodding along with the idea that an iPhone SE 2020 refurbished offers serious bang for your buck, you'll be thrilled to hear about its display.

• The iPhone SE boasts a 4.7-inch (diagonal) widescreen LCD Multi-Touch display equipped with IPS technology.

• This pocket-sized powerhouse delivers a resolution of 1334-by-750 pixels at an impressive 326 ppi.

True Tone technology doesn't just serve as a marketing buzzword—it actually fine-tunes the white balance in sync with the ambient light around you.

That means whether you're scrolling through your camera roll or playing games, the screen adapts to offer a more natural, eye-friendly viewing experience.

Also, the iPhone SE 2020 has earned rave reviews for its LCD screen, which was dubbed the best of 2020 in some circles, meaning you can expect a screen quality that outperforms previous iPhones in its price range.

The overall screen size of the iPhone SE 2020 might be smaller than the iPhone XR or other smartphone devices like the Google Pixel phones, but rest assured, you'll be getting crisp, clear image quality expected of midrange phones.

So, you're impressed by the iPhone SE 2020's screen, but what about the performance of this piece of tech? Brace yourself; the device sports the A13 Bionic chip, the same chip found in the iPhone 11 series.

What does this mean for you? It means you're getting an affordable iPhone with the same power as more expensive Apple devices.

In performance tests, we're talking about a processor that runs laps around its predecessor, the A12, boasting a 20% uptick in performance, including in its six CPU cores, graphics processor and neural engine.

And that's not all; the processor's increased power efficiency means that whether you're multitasking with multiple apps or engrossed in night mode photography, the SE's battery performance will keep up.

Irritating glitches won't mar your gaming sessions, your video streaming won't buffer at the worst possible moment, and your apps will load faster than you can say "Touch ID."

From snappy performance to resilient battery life, the iPhone SE 2020 has us pretty well impressed.

But what about its camera? Is it up to the task when those picture-perfect moments pop up? 

Spoiler alert: It's got some tricks up its sleeve.

• Rear Camera: Single camera that's 12-megapixel with a f/1.8-aperture lens.

• Front-Facing Camera: Single 7MP with a 32mm-equivalent f/2.2 lens.

• Other features: Portrait mode, night mode, burst mode and video recording.

So it's got a single 12-megapixel rear camera that sports a wide f/1.8 aperture—making it a reliable choice for low-light snaps.

It's also loaded with PDAF autofocus for quick focusing and optical image stabilisation to keep things steady when your hands aren't.

Unfortunately, the iPhone SE 2020 doesn't have a triple-lens array or fancy a 108-megapixel sensor, but that is reflected in the price of this device.

When it comes to the nitty-gritty, the iPhone SE 2020 thrives in natural light. Exposure and colour are its bread and butter.

In outdoor shots, colours stay vibrant, and details aren't lost to overexposure or murkiness.

So, we've talked camera, performance, and display—things the iPhone SE 2020 doesn't skimp on.
