The iPhone SE 4 is expected to bring significant upgrades to its photography capabilities[5]. It is rumored to feature a single 48-megapixel rear camera and a 12-megapixel TrueDepth front camera[3][4][7]. This is a notable improvement over the iPhone SE (2022), which has a 12MP rear camera and a 7MP front camera[7].
Here's a summary of the expected photography features:
* 48MP Rear Camera: The 48MP sensor is expected to dramatically improve photo and color quality, capturing photos with great detail[1]. It may allow for features like clearer details, excellent low-light photos, and 4K video footage[1]. The increased resolution could also enable a sensor crop, delivering a lossless 2x optical-grade zoom[8].
* Improved Low-Light Performance: The iPhone SE 4 is expected to include a Night Mode, which was lacking in previous SE models[1][2].
* Smart HDR: Inclusion of Smart HDR 5, will enhance the phone's photography capabilities[1].
* Cinematic Mode and 4K Video Recording: The iPhone SE 4's video-making functionality has been enriched by Cinematic Mode technology, which allows users to record videos with a professional depth-of-field effect, and is rumored to attract smartphones with 4K recording at 60fps[1].
* Improved Front Camera: A 12MP front camera with AI-powered portrait mode is expected to provide crispier selfies and better video call quality[1][3][4][7].
These upgrades would make the iPhone SE 4 a more attractive option for photographers compared to previous models[1].
