Apple is set to revolutionize smartphone photography with the iPhone SE 4. Industry leaks have revealed that the device will come with a high-quality 48-megapixel rear camera. A considerable upgrade from its predecessor’s 12-megapixel sensor. LG Innotek has started mass-producing camera modules for the device.
High-Quality Camera Modules from Established Manufacturers
Apple has partnered with LG Innotek, Foxconn, and Cowell Electronics for high-end camera quality for the iPhone SE 4. Sources have it that the LG Innotek Vietnam facility has started mass production. The front camera will also receive an upgrade, featuring a 12-megapixel lens instead of the iPhone SE 2022’s 7-megapixel selfie camera.
Camera Features Like the iPhone 16
The insiders mention that iPhone SE 4 is taking camera technology directly from iPhone 16. Thus, the latest version of SE model will use exactly the same advanced rear 48 megapixel sensor on its higher-end version. Nonetheless, to remain economical for masses, it would cut down the ultra-wide-angle sensor of the back in case of an SE version. That strategic reduction in features will preserve image quality with budget-friendliness of a phone.
Apple’s suppliers, including LG Innotek and Foxconn, have established a streamlined production process to meet the anticipated global demand. Beyond hardware, Apple’s expertise in computational photography will likely enhance the iPhone SE 4’s camera performance, offering features like Smart HDR and Night Mode for stunning low-light images.
Expected Specifications Beyond the Camera
While camera enhancements create buzz, Apple has, in the meantime, pushed the ante with other specs upgrades. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a powerful A18 chipset paired with 8 GB of RAM, enabling smooth multitasking. Leaks state that this phone would provide a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED display that boasts 1,170×2,532 pixels and peak brightness of up to 800 nits.
Supportive features, such as Face ID and 3,279mAh batteries, could then take things to a level above. The iPhone SE 4 will be available for the international market in March 2025. If the reports are correct, the iPhone SE 4 will break all barriers related to camera features in any smartphone in its class of price. It is going to start at around $400, or Rs. 35,000 approximately.
Final Thoughts: A Game-Changer in the Mid-Range Market
Apple’s iPhone SE 4 is going to offer the flagship camera technology at an affordable price. With the rear camera now improved to 48 megapixels, with a more powerful processor and an improved display, it is likely to conquer the mid-range smartphone market. Photography enthusiasts and tech-savvy users will see the future of mobile photography change.
