+**CoreS3 SE** is a streamlined version of the third-generation M5Stack Core series. Powered by the ESP32-S3, it features a dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor running at 240MHz with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It comes with 16MB of onboard flash memory and 8MB of PSRAM.
+
+Compared to the standard CoreS3, the SE version removes the camera, proximity sensor, IMU (BMI270), and magnetometer (BMM150) for a lower price point while retaining the core functionality.
+
+CoreS3 SE features a **2.0-inch** capacitive touch IPS screen protected by high-strength glass. Power management is handled by the **AXP2101** chip with a 4-way power flow control loop for efficient, low-power operation. The device includes a **BM8563** RTC chip for accurate timing and sleep-timer wake-up functions.
+
+Sound output uses the high-fidelity 16-bit I2S **AW88298** power amplifier chip with a built-in 1W speaker. For audio input, the kit incorporates the **ES7210** audio decoding chip with dual microphones.
+
+**Note:** This build includes support for the M5GO Battery Bottom 3 accessory. The SD card is not yet functional in this build.
