In terms of video capabilities, you can now record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second.

There is no 3D Touch but has Haptic Touch brought to the iPhone 11 series which is useful to perform quick actions such as rearranging apps, preview messages and move cursor.

On a single charge it lets you watch up to 13 hours of video.

Wireless Charging

The iPhone SE 2 comes with wireless charging capability and supports Qi-based chargers. To charge your phone real quick you can separately buy a 18W fast charger adapter.
