If you want a powerful small smartphone, the iPhone SE is by far your best choice. It is both smaller and faster than its viable Android competitors, the 4.7-inch Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 4.7 and the 5-inch HTC One A9 .

Fast; Very good battery life; Easy to use with a single hand

Low-res front-facing camera; Lacks the latest Wi-Fi capabilities

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new technology; No 128GB option, and we wouldn't recommend the base 16GB option to anyone at this point; No 3D Touch; Outdated FaceTime camera; Onscreen keyboard harder to use for those with larger hands; Slower Touch ID.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

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

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
