Apple's iPhone SE isn't initially impressive. As a hodgepodge of other iPhones without any new technology, it's hard to get too excited about it. Our thoughts leading up to the announcement were generally that this new iPhone would be a great iPhone for late upgraders.

A smaller, lighter iPhone; Reasonably priced; Users with smaller hands should find it easy to use; Familiar 5s design is still an attractive winner; Upgraded internals (A9, M9, 2GB of RAM) allow phone to leap past the iPhone 5s and compete with the iPhone 6/6 Plus - it's faster than you might...

Smaller phone means smaller display; Not introducing any new technology; No 128GB option, and we wouldn't recommend the base 16GB option to anyone at this point; No 3D Touch; Outdated FaceTime camera; Onscreen keyboard harder to use for those with larger hands; Slower Touch ID.

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

Assuming you want a smaller screen, the iPhone SE is ounce-for-ounce one of the best bargains in tech. At $399, this is the most affordable iPhone ever, and yet it doesn't look, feel or perform like a cheap phone.

Powerful A9 processor; Compact design; Excellent back camera with Live Photo support; Strong battery life

Front camera not that sharp; Low-res display; Lacks 3D Touch

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

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

The iPhone SE 2020 is the best cheap smartphone for most people – its camera, build quality and speed all match more expensive phones. Its smaller screen will also please those who feel left behind by ever-larger devices.

Premium build; Excellent processor; Very impressive camera; Great value; Waterproof

Average battery life; No haptic touch on lock screen; No Night Mode in camera

Value may be subjective, but it’s hard to argue that the new iPhone SE doesn’t shake up what’s reasonable to expect from a smartphone in 2020. Apple’s most affordable phone is recycling refined to art, a blend of old and new with a barely-believable $400 price tag.

Aggressive pricing; Latest processor and Apple's track-record of updating iOS; Premium metal & glass construction

Single camera is solid but lacks features like Night Mode; Display is small compared to other phones; Budget for a better charger

The 16:9 display works well for watching video and, speaking of that, it’s great to view a screen without a notch.

Amazingly fast processor; Solid camera; Great fit in the hand

We love the iPhone SE. It’s affordable, sensibly specced, and does almost everything most people need a smartphone for. The only things that really count against it are its slightly retro styling and limited battery life. It’s fairly future-proof too.

A great value iPhone experience, Surprisingly powerful, Takes decent photos...

...but lacks a proper Night Mode, Looks a little too retro, It's a bit small (but you might like that),

It's a tiny powerhouse of a smartphone

A13 Bionic processor is extremely powerful; Camera improvements over the iPhone SE (2016) and iPhone 8 are significant; $599 price tag is great

Looks exactly like the iPhone 8; No Night mode; Comparable Android smartphones are much better in some ways
