It isn't quite fair to review the iPhone SE as a new device. Despite being the first iPhone to step away from Apple's number naming scheme, and despite being the first 4-inch iPhone in two years, it isn't a product of innovation, but rather one of stagnation.

It totally is. If you have a iPhone 5 lying around, check to see the dimensions- Apple have whipped out the shell of their older flagship, made the tiniest of tweaks and presented beefed up specs in the retro-themed body.

Perfect for using one-handed; Incredible performance; Great camera; Price; good battery life

Might be too small; no 3D touch

Las cuatro pulgadas parecen no querer pasar de moda, al menos mientras Apple así lo haya decidido. Y es que el pasado 21 de marzo se hizo la presentación oficial del iPhone SE , un dispositivo comedido, de lo que hoy día se considera "pequeño", con el diseño archiconocido del iPhone 5s pero...

Rendimiento; Potencia; Precio

Cámara delantera; Parte de 16 GB

The iPhone SE is one of the best of the very few small phones still available. It would be a significant downgrade from an iPhone 6, isn't a quantum leap over the iPhone 5S and should only really be considered if size is the overriding factor.

one-day battery; good rear camera; decent screen; easy to hold; easy to fit in a pocket; fits in existing iPhone 5 accessories

very small screen; edges are hard on hands; looks like an iPhone 5 or 5S; selfie camera isn't great; no expandable storage or removable battery

Sure, the Apple iPhone SE looks out of place, but that's more indicative of how comfortable we've grown to bigger handsets, even if their size has impacted on ease of use for many users.

Powerful and compact; Excellent main camera; Premium design; Affordable

The iPhone SE is a flagship in every right, but a screen size of four inches is too hindering today. Like all iPhone, the Rs. 39,000 price tag can seem overpriced, and is a big reason why the phone is tough to recommend today.

Excellent performance; Best-in-class ergonomics; Crisp; sharp display

4-inch display is too restricted; Battery life is still rather low; Lags behind in low light photography

I really wanted to love the iPhone SE. From the moment it was announced I just knew it made sense. A compact iPhone with the best design the range has ever had, plus the very best performance and camera, should have made one hell of a handset.

Great design; Well priced; Excellent camera

Screen feels old; Slightly too small; 16GB minimum storage is disappointing

Apple announced something really different last month when it launched the iPhone SE along with smaller iPad Pro 9.7. We saw a smaller iPhone being unveiled for the first time and it has already hit Indian shores.

Great build quality; Powerful internals; Above average battery life; Great rear-facing camera with Live Photos and 4K Video; Fast cellular and WiFi connectivity; Stable iOS software with huge selection of apps

Design is same as the 5S; Expensive price tag in India; Below average Front facing camera; Limited to 16/64GB storage

Apple still loves building compact smartphones, even though the last generations grew considerably. The iPhone SE (which is short for Special Edition) goes back to the roots and revives the hardly used 4-inch form factor.

sophisticated chassis; compact and light; very high performance; bright display with accurate colors; responsive and smooth handling; many accessories available; great signal quality; accurate GPS; good speaker; decent cameras; great runtimes in practice

high black value; NFC only for Apple Pay; microphone sounds dull; no IP certification; glass surfaces can easily break; storage not expandable; integrated battery

The iPhone SE is armed with the same A9 processor and 2GB RAM found inside the iPhone 6s. It also has the same integrated M9 motion co-processor, which means you can use the "Hey Siri" voice prompt to activate Siri whenever you want.

Great benchmark performance; Long battery life; Relatively affordable for an iPhone; Great rear camera

Looks exactly the same as the iPhone 5s; Front camera not upgraded; The iPhone SE should have been launched a year earlier
