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

There's nothing innovative or ground-breaking about the iPhone SE: to all intents and purposes, it's simply a smaller version of the current iPhone 6s. It provides comparable performance and a broadly similar range of features wrapped up in a more compact 4-inch design with a £180/$250 price cut.

Compact, lightweight 4-inch smartphone, A9 processor delivers high-end performance, 12-megapixel rear camera, 4K video recording

Relatively low-res screen, No 3D Touch, 1.2-megapixel front camera, Meagre 16GB of storage in entry-level model

A very good budget phone by Google ...really impressed by its performance and camera quality..don't let the front facing megapixel fool you , it can easily defeat all the 8 megapixel camera of Android flagships..(well not the s7 though)but still at this price ..

Performance; Camera; Build quality

1st gen fingerprint sensor; No 3D touch; May be to small for some people

Earlier this week at Apple's campus in Cupertino, the company announced a brand-new iPhone. The heavens didn't part, pop bands didn't play, and people aren't camping out at Apple Stores to buy the thing.

Fast; Long battery life; Great rear camera; Relatively inexpensive

Starts with only 16GB of storage; Lacks a few iPhones 6S features; Design not updated from iPhone 5s

Display - Small but highly detailed The iPhone SE really is a handset that has been designed for the small phone lover with its 4" Retina display. This sizing makes it an ideal replacement for Apple fans still using an iPhone 4s or iPhone 5s.

Just because the iPhone SE looks like an old device doesn't mean it acts like one. Apple squeezed flagship-level performance and the best battery life we've seen from an iPhone in years into a familiar (and relatively inexpensive) frame.

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

There are two ways of looking at the iPhone SE, the "special edition" smaller-scale 4-inch iPhone. One is that it's Apple simply churning out a 2-year-old design with a spec update; the other is that it delivers what many people actually want: a small but powerful phone for those who believe the...

Small size will suit a certain audience; majority 6S feature set means plenty of power; accessible price point

Not a new design; small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen; no 3D Touch; 1.2MP front camera; no MIMO Wi-Fi

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

A small iPhone with the heart of a big one? It's true, and it's a pretty decent package, even if it took Apple long enough.

Apple's original winning size returns to centre stage; Great spec upgrade; making the iPhone SE faster than the still available iPhone 6; All-day battery life; Great camera; Includes a fingerprint reader; Supports the same accessories as the iPhone 5 and 5S… because it's the same phone chassis-wise...

Small screen (in comparison to what else is out there today; Front-facing camera is old and low resolution (again; in comparison to what else is out there today; No force-touch/3D touch screen
