WIRED's verdict on the small but beautiful Apple iPhone SE.

Small but powerful; great battery life; good camera

Not for movie watchers; lack of 3D Touch; no upgrade for selfie camera

Update : We're still waiting for the iPhone SE 2 to come and usurp the SE, but it's not all over for this handset as Apple's just confirmed it will get an upgrade to iOS 11 later this year. Why should you care about the iPhone SE?

With the same design and 4in screen, the iPhone SE brings the iPhone 5S bang up to date, and at a price that's a lot more affordable than an iPhone 6S. Here's our iPhone SE review.

It's a sign of the times when a smartphone coming in at over ￡350 for the basic model is described as cheap. The iPhone SE isn't cheap, but it is the best value iPhone we've ever seen.

Small screen with powerful spec; Strong camera; Good battery life

Contrast could be better; Audio lacks in dynamics and subtlety

Apple iPhone SE launches in India on April 8 at a price of Rs 39,000. Here's our review for this 4-inch iPhone.

The best feature of this phone has to be its size; There are lot of people who struggle with large phones, and find no viable alternative given that smaller phones are now becoming really rare.

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...

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
