So, what's the difference between iPhone SE 2022 and iPhone SE 2020? Here's a comparison we compiled:
Design
The iPhone SE 2022 can be said to be identical in appearance to the iPhone SE 2020. The back is made of slightly stronger glass now, wrapped in a metal frame and there are physical buttons for Touch ID. Then there is a single rear camera.
The biggest difference is, as already mentioned, stronger glass on both the back and front, as is the case with the iPhone 13. Apart from that it is IP67 certified for water and dust resistance, but neither has MagSafe charging technology like the one on the iPhone 13.

The iPhone SE 2022 has a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, with a pixel density of 326 ppi (pixels per inch). The panel remains LCD instead of the more brilliant OLED. Then embedded 60Hz standard refresh rate.
The screen is exactly the same as the iPhone SE 2020, in terms of size, panel, and resolution. Both have several screen technologies such as True Tone and Haptic Touch.
