iPhone SE is a 4-inch phone unveiled by Apple on the 21st of March 2016. It's the first 4-inch produced by Apple since the launch of iPhone 5S in 2013.


The target group is users that prefer a compact and non-bulky phone with top features. Apple wants to ensure that existing iPhone 5S users don't switch to another brand when upgrading their phones. Hence, an upgraded 4-inch phone makes a lot of sense from this perspective.


The look of iPhone SE is almost identical to that of iPhone 5S in terms of form and look-and-feel. However, the four colours are the same as for the iPhone 6s.


The specs are impressive. The A9 processor powering the iPhone SE is 70% faster than the older A8 processor. The graphics processor (GPU) is 90% faster. In fact, Apple claims that graphics performance has been boosted three times compared to iPhone 5S.


The camera matches the performance of iPhone 6s and 6s plus. It's capable of recording in 4K at a 30 fps rate. The resolution of the camera is 12 MP. The Retina flash enables the front camera to take bright selfie shots.


The battery life has been vastly improved over iPhone 5S. Communication is also faster with network supported up til 433 Mbps. Wifi calling is also supported.



The iPhone SE is available with two storage options: 16GB and 64GB.

iPhone SE review

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?

Excellent phone good quality

As you'd expect from Apple this is a quality product. Bought it to replace my Galaxy Note 4 which was just too big really. This is a neat size - not too bulky.

Apple iPhone SE

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 .
Pros:
  • Fast
  • Very good battery life
  • Easy to use with a single hand
Cons:
  • Low-res front-facing camera
  • Lacks the latest Wi-Fi capabilities

Apple iPhone SE review

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.

iPhone SE Review: Big on Value

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.
Pros:
  • Powerful A9 processor
  • Compact design
  • Excellent back camera with Live Photo support
  • Strong battery life
Cons:
  • Front camera not that sharp
  • Low-res display
  • Lacks 3D Touch

Apple iPhone SE review

An iPhone with no number in its model name? That'll be the new iPhone SE , which ditches the number 5 but retains everything that iPhone 5 and 5S owners loved about their 4in phones - and upgrades all the bits which are out of date.
