The mini iPhone may be getting on a bit, but don’t count it out...

One of the only 4in phones available; Lengthy battery life; Still attractive; Fast

Screen feels outdated and disappointing; Lacking advanced camera features

Fans of smaller smartphones and refugees from the iPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S models who could never consider a larger phone, now have somewhere to land with the iPhone SE. This smaller iPhone has the same power, performance and camera capabilities as the larger iPhone 6 based devices that have ruled the...

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

Apple’s budget iPhone delivers a satisfying and slick smartphone experience at an attractive price Excellent build quality Colourful, detailed screen Musical sound Camera not great in low light Battery life could be better

This is the phone to get if you just want a iPhone that will last you a few years, but don’t want to pay a lot for it. It might not be the newest model any more but the iPhone SE 2020 offers ‘decent but not top-end’ performance: a good camera, enough power, a great App Store to plunder and a lighter...

Lightweight frame, Low price for iPhone, Powerful chipset

Battery life could be better, Old screen technology, No headphone jack

While it may lack the design clout of more recent iPhones and is missing creature comforts such as an OLED display and Face ID, the iPhone SE 2020 is world-class in almost every other regard, and the fact that it can be purchased for £400 is nothing less than amazing.

The iPhone SE (2020) comes in at a price tag that in Apple world has to count as a bargain; to be honest, if an Android offered this performance for £419/$399 we'd be calling it superb value for money.

When I reviewed the iPhone 8 , I questioned the value that phone offered, given that it was not that far off in price from Apple's new flagship at the time, the iPhone X . But the iPhone SE is a superior handset to the iPhone 8, and it costs half as much as the 8 did when I reviewed it in 2017.

This is a highly competitive price for an iPhone, The fastest performance available in a smartphone today at less than half the cost of top-of-the-line iOS and Android flagships, iOS is an effective, secure, and robust mobile operating system that is a great choice for most users, The inclusion of...

The iPhone SE trails behind other iPhones in terms of battery life, The design is looking a bit dated, There's no headphone adapter included in the box, Mediocre low-light camera performance, Folks expecting the return of the hyper-compact, 4-inch iPhone SE will be disappointed

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

A strong case against $1,000 phones

Good battery life, Software updates for years, Camera good in light and great at video

Tired design with big bezels, Small screen compared to every other phone, Noisy low-light photos
