Buy Refurbished iPhone SE 2020 in the UAE

The iPhone SE 2020 is one of the cheapest iPhones you can buy in the UAE that still runs the current iOS. It pairs the classic home button design with the A13 Bionic, the same chip Apple put in the iPhone 11, in a compact body that costs very little refurbished. Every unit at Phonebot is tested, IMEI checked, graded, and covered by warranty, delivered anywhere in the Emirates or collected in person in Dubai. Comparing across the range first? All our refurbished iPhones are in one place.

SE 2020, SE 2, Second Generation: One Phone, Three Names

Apple's SE naming confuses everyone, so let us settle it. The phone on this page is the iPhone SE 2020, also called the iPhone SE 2 or SE 2nd generation, the model with the home button released in 2020. The original iPhone SE is the small 2016 model, and the 3rd-generation SE, or SE 2022, is the newer one with 5G. Whichever name you searched, if you want the 2020 model, you are in the right place. Every listing clearly states the generation, so you never buy the wrong one.

iPhone SE 2020 Price in the UAE

The SE 2020 sits at the entry point of our iPhone range, and its price depends on three things: storage size, condition grade, and color. A B-Grade 64GB unit is the cheapest way into this phone, often among the lowest-priced iPhones in the store, while Open Box units with 256GB cost the most. Prices move with stock, so the live listing is always the accurate answer. Set the price filter to your budget and sort low to high; if you are shopping at the tightest end, filter for B-Grade first.

What You Get for the Money

The SE 2020 was built on a simple idea: flagship chip, familiar body, small price. The A13 Bionic still handles WhatsApp, banking apps, maps, and streaming smoothly in 2026. Touch ID unlocks the phone instantly with a fingerprint, the 4.7-inch size fits any hand and pocket, and the body keeps proper iPhone build quality with IP67 water resistance, a glass back, and Qi wireless charging, rare at this price. The single 12MP camera shoots sharp daylight photos and Portrait mode shots of people.

Know the Limits Before You Buy

  • 4G only. No 5G on this generation; that arrived with the SE 3rd gen. UAE 4G networks remain fast for everyday use.
  • Software life is shorter than the newer SE. The SE 2020 still runs the current iOS, but it is closer to the end of its major updates than the 3rd generation. Buy it for value today, a first phone, or a backup.
  • One camera, no Night mode. Fine for daylight and documents, weaker after dark.
  • The battery is small, matched to the compact body. We grade it strictly: at least 85% battery health on A-Grade and 80% on B-Grade, stated on every listing.

SE 2020 or SE 3rd Gen: Which Should You Buy?

The iPhone SE 3rd generation looks identical but carries the newer A15 chip, 5G, and several more years of iOS updates. If you plan to keep the phone a while, the 3rd gen is worth the extra. If the goal is the lowest possible price on a working, current-iOS iPhone with a home button, the 2020 model is exactly that. There is also a third path: the iPhone 11 runs the same A13 chip with a big screen, Face ID, and a dual camera, and often sits close to the SE in refurbished price. Small and cheap, newer and lasting, or bigger screen: those are the three options.

Want One That Feels New?

Plenty of visitors to this page search for a new iPhone SE. Apple no longer makes this model, so truly new units are gone from the market, but our Open Box grade is the closest thing that exists: practically untouched devices with original packaging, verified and warrantied like everything we sell. Like New grade sits just behind it without the packaging. If box-fresh matters to you, filter for those two grades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a refurbished iPhone SE 2020 cost in the UAE?

It depends on storage and grade, and prices change with stock, so the live listings are the accurate answer. It is consistently one of the lowest-priced iPhones we sell, and B-Grade 64GB units mark the floor. Set your budget in the price filter to see everything that fits.


Is the iPhone SE 2020 still good in 2026?

For calls, WhatsApp, banking, and everyday apps, yes, the A13 chip keeps it smooth, and it still runs the current iOS. It is best bought as a value phone, a first phone, or a backup rather than a long-term main device, since its remaining update years are fewer than the SE 3rd gen.


Does the iPhone SE 2020 have 5G?

No, it is 4G only. If 5G matters to you, the SE 3rd generation adds it to the same body for a little more.


Is 128GB enough on the iPhone SE?

For most buyers, yes. 128GB holds everyday apps, photos, and WhatsApp history comfortably. Choose 256GB if you store a lot of video; 64GB works when price beats everything else, especially with iCloud handling photos.


Is the SE 2020 the same as the iPhone SE 2?

Yes. SE 2020, SE 2, and SE 2nd generation are three names for the same phone. The SE 3rd generation, or SE 2022, is the newer model with 5G and the A15 chip.


Can I see the phone before buying?

Yes. Visit our store at BurJuman Centre in Dubai to check the phone in person before you decide, or order online with a 7-day return window and a warranty of up to 12 months either way.
