Here, we have reviewed the iPhone SE (2020) 256GB by focusing on the ease of using it in one hand and the ease of typing in letters.

The "iPhone SE (2020) 256GB" is a size that allows you to have a firm grip even while using it. Since your hand is kept stable, it is difficult to accidentally drop the phone, and it is very easy to use. Since the original body size is small, the phone is still easy to hold even when using a case.

The weight you feel when using the phone with one hand

The "iPhone SE (2020) 256GB" is a slightly heavy smart phone so using it with one hand for a short period doesn't cause any pain, however when used for long periods continuously it can hurt your hand. If you add a case and accessories it feels even heavier. It is preferable to use the phone with two hands and a proper case.

Ease of pushing the upper button on the screen using one hand

Even when used with one hand, the "iPhone SE (2020) 256GB" has a size which allows buttons on the edges of the display to be operated. However, people with small hands may lose their grip if they try to press the buttons at the edges.

The size of the buttons on the App

This review looks at whether the performance of the iPhone SE (2020) 256GB is suitable for making phone calls, messaging, or using SNS.
