It's the same thickness so who knows if the battery has more capacity. I would think it's more likely that going from A13 7nm to A15 5nm chip nets ~20% battery

So it turns out "the phone has a physically larger battery — a fact about the new iPhone SE that the company confirmed on background in a group briefing with reporters." When teardowns are published we can see exact mAh.

I am guessing it has the same or very similar battery and that the battery life difference is primarily due to changes in the silicon.
5G could make battery life worse a bit, so disable it could improve more.
