This single model is intended for carriers just about everywhere -- it is sold in at least 188 countries -- but it is not sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, Russia, and a handful of other countries. It is technically compatible with carriers around the world, though.
Regardless of carrier support, all iPhone SE (3rd Gen) models have a 4.7" (diagonal) widescreen multitouch "True Tone" LED-backlit 1334x750 native resolution "Retina HD" display (326 ppi, 625 cd/m2) and a taptic-engine powered solid state "clickless" Home button.

The cameras support motion tracking and offer augmented reality support, too.
The iPhone SE (3rd Gen) uses an "aerospace-grade" aluminum alloy case and has a glass front and back. It is splash, water, and dust-resistant (IP67), but not water-proof, and it has stereo speakers and a Lightning port. It has three color options -- a warm gray (Starlight), "Midnight" (black), and (PRODUCT) RED.
Internally, the iPhone SE (3rd Gen) is powered by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with six cores -- two performance cores and four efficiency cores -- and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless (but not mmWave), Bluetooth 5.0," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for compatible transit systems, and support for Dual SIM (one hardware nano SIM and one software-based eSIM).
Apple estimates that the iPhone SE (3rd Gen) provides "up to" 50 hours of audio playback, 15 hours of video playback, and 10 hours of streamed video playback. It supports "wireless" (inductive) charging, too (Qi).
