The iPhone SE 2020 is the affordable iPhone to beat, and the one of the best cheap phones you can get. It’s the closest thing to future-proof you’ll find under $400 offering the fastest performance around, very good cameras, wireless charging and a premium design that outclasses cheap Android phones.

The iPhone SE surpassed our expectations when it first came out, and now the minimum storage issue has been dealt with, it’s become even better. Really, the only thing it lacks compared to the iPhone 6s is 3D Touch. For anyone who still hankers after a powerful 4in smartphone, it’s an amazing choice.

60% iPhone SE Review: Is It Good for Business?
Source: Business News Daily Archive.org version
But the iPhone SE is still a solid pick for workers with small hands, or anyone with only basic computing needs. It offers solid security, fast performance and long battery life for $200 less than the iPhone 6S. Budget-minded workers should also check out the Huawei Honor 5X, which sports a metal design, fingerprint sensor and sharp 5.5-inch display for just $199. But if you really just want a smaller screen, the iPhone SE is an excellent option.

Most people, I think, will want a larger window to the Internet. That's one reason why the 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge remains our Editors' Choice for smartphones overall. But I'm willing to create a new category here to give the iPhone SE a prize. Let the iPhone SE be known as our first Editors' Choice for small smartphones, and let's hope that other manufacturers start to give Apple some real competition.

80% iPhone SE review UK: As fast as iPhone 6s and as portable as iPhone 5s - and now with double the storage
Source: Macworld.co.uk Archive.org version
It was about time Apple updated its 4-inch iPhone line (and there remain a few of us whose small hands and pockets will appreciate this more portable design), and this is a sensible refresh of a much-loved product. We'd forgotten about just how nice it is to hold and use a petite 4in smartphone, and just how comfortable it is to handle one-handed. The SE is as fast as an iPhone 6s thanks to the A9 chipset and as portable as an iPhone 5s, so if you're in the market for a new 4in smartphone then this is a very good choice. While the lack of 3D Touch, a barometer, second-gen Touch ID or a 128GB storage option are all irritants, that's a combination that will be enough to convince a lot of Apple fans.

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. While the look of Apple's 4-inch phone is getting up there in age, the iPhone SE has a premium design, and the combination of the fast A9 processor and robust 12-megapixel camera makes this device stand out among midrange handsets. However, I do wish the front camera were sharper, and that you didn't have to give up 3D Touch capability.

The iPhone SE is an excellent smartphone for those of us who just find phablets far too awkward and unwieldy to use comfortably. Phablet fanboys will undoubtedly look down on the iPhone SE which is just as silly as Apple’s previous insistence on selling only one size of smartphone. After all, no one blinks an eye at different sized laptops and that should also be the case when it comes to different sized smartphones.

83% iPhone SE review: Apple’s best bargain?
Source: Bit-Tech Archive.org version
So overall, the iPhone SE is small but as powerful as anyone could need it to be; the battery life exceeds even Apple’s plus-sized handsets; and the screen, camera and all-round quality should be enough to seduce almost anyone who’s in the market for a smaller phone. And the fact that you can forget it’s even in your pocket makes it a nice change from the litany of 5in phones available – it’s a phone that’s there when you need it, but almost invisible when you don’t.

If you’re good with how much the iPhone SE costs, arguably its only unappealing trait, then you’re looking at a very attractive handset that is, for the time being, completely unparalleled in the mobile space. This is the best 4in smartphone on the planet now — bar none — hence the premium price tag.

You will know a lot of people that will own this phone, although you probably won’t own it yourself. Starting at £359/$399, it’ll sell by the bucketload. It’s an iPhone that’s ridiculously easy to recommend, absolutely ideal for all those people who think they want an iPhone because they’ve seen other people with Live Photos, iMessage and Apple Music but for whom a £500 smartphone is a little too high end.

iPhone SE vs iPhone 5S vs iPhone 5C: head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
Overall, then, it’s probably fair to give the iPhone SE the win, as it has notably better specs than its 4in siblings. However, it’s testament to the quality of the iPhone 5S and even the iPhone 5C that they are not dwarfed by the newest iPhone on the market. That said, anyone with the 5S or 5C, or even the 4 or 4S for that matter, would definitely notice the difference on upgrading, and any new buyers with a budget of around £400 should probably go for the newest iPhone SE as well.

iPhone SE vs iPhone 5C head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk Archive.org version
By contrast, the iPhone SE looks and feels like the more mature of the two. The 5C maintains a sense of fun throughout, but the hard, almost boxy edges of the SE indicate it's a phone that demands to be taken seriously. Saying that, we'd much rather pull the SE out of our pocket than put our pink handset on display for all to see. As you might already know, the SE is available in Silver, Space Grey, Gold and Rose Gold.

Remember, though, by siding with the 5S you're buying into hardware that's already past its prime. The 5S launched in September 2013, and it might make a better stop-gap phone as opposed to a long-term investment. If you want one of them we'd rather you set your sights on the iPhone SE. You won't regret it.

Despite the iPhone 6S racking up more wins, in a lot of cases it's only by the smallest of margins. The iPhone SE loses out in only a few areas, and if you're willing to forgive the older Touch ID technology, smaller screen, weaker selfie camera and lack of 128GB storage option we see no reason why it shouldn't be your next handset.

iPhone SE
Source: AnandTech Archive.org version
It’s really not difficult to come to a conclusion on the iPhone SE. It’s clearly the best 4-inch smartphone on the market, and you can ignore all of the specs when making that assessment because it achieves that by virtue of being the only offering at this size. For the sake of comparison, you can take a look at some Android devices that are larger than the SE, but smaller than your average Android smartphone.

Hands on: The iPhone SE -- a classic design with modern hardware
Source: Computerworld.com Archive.org version
Using the SE has reminded me that I made the right choice with my iPhone 6S Plus, just as trying out the larger iPhones likely persuaded a lot of iPhone 5 users to hold out for something smaller. In that regard, Apple has smartened up. The iPhone SE is for people who prefer the advantages of a smaller phone.

If you love a small phone but feel you’re missing out on a top-notch camera, solid battery life and speedy processor, the iPhone SE is impossible to ignore. It delivers in spades and doesn't have a comparable competitor. Even though it’s the lowest-priced iPhone we’ve ever seen, it’s still not cheap, especially since the 16GB option is inadequate for most users. However, if you look after it then its resale value will remain high. No other phones retain their value quite like iPhones do.

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. If you stricly want a smaller device, then this is the best option for you. If not, there are a sea of Android and iOS phones available to choose from.

There is no conspiracy behind the iPhone SE - it's what the fans wished for, and what the critics love to hate. It's always been this way with Apple - polarized opinions versus massive sales. The iPhone SE is an iPhone like any other iPhone. It has top-notch hardware, all the latest camera capabilities, and runs on the latest iOS with everything but the 3D Touch gestures.

Apple has surpassed all my expectations for the iPhone SE. Before it launched, I was expecting a plastic handset with an older processor; instead, we've got a metal handset with the latest processor and a top-notch camera. In fact, the only thing that the mini phone doesn't have, which the larger iPhone 6S does, is 3D Touch, and that's something you can easily live without.

90% The upgrade iPhone 5 owners have been waiting for
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The SE is what many iPhone fans have been asking for, and it's a great upgrade if you're still using an iPhone 5. For 5S owners, things aren't quite as clear cut. If you're not happy with the 5S's performance, the SE should solve that problem. However, unless you really want to shoot 4K videos, you're not going to notice a massive improvement in photo quality. There's a much bigger jump in quality if you're coming from an iPhone 5 (or earlier), however. Make sure 16GB is enough before you order: we'd recommend the 64GB version for most people.

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. The phone lacks some of the 6s's niceties and its screen is just too small for some, but the iPhone SE is the best compact phone Apple has ever made.

There is no conspiracy behind the iPhone SE - it's what the fans wished for, and what the critics love to hate. It's always been this way with Apple - polarized opinions versus massive sales. Like it or not, Apple embraced its past and listened to its fans. One-third of all iPhone users chose to stick with the 4" models either for the compact form factor, or the hefty prices of the newer generation. But those people needed to be brought up to speed so can Apple and the developers can eventually move on from the older hardware.

Outside of the Apple ecosystem, this phone is priced high enough to face tremendous competition from “nice” mid rangers and “cheap” flagships, but we still recommend it as a solid offering depending on what an individual consumer’s needs might be. If nothing else we can hope this encourages even more of a race towards building powerful, “flagship” performance into mid-tier devices.

One of the most unique things about the Apple iPhone SE is that it's in a class of its own: there is no other phone of such size that's even remotely as powerful. It's the only high-end mini phone you can find on the market, safe for the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. So why is that? Is it because people no longer want small phones, or is it because people who fancy small phones today usually don't need them to be fast and powerful?

The iPhone SE is a great smartphone that brings plenty of power in a small package. It's designed to appeal to those who aren't fussed by today's typically large flagship phones.

As mea culpas go, the iPhone SE is a winning way to right a balls-up. Any 4in iPhone owner who’s resisted the 6s’ siren call should pick up an SE. Pronto. The iPhone SE doesn’t feel small, it feels compact. And there’s a massive difference between those two concepts. Given that most phone makers are saving their best specs for their biggest phones, the fact that Apple has crammed all that tech into such a small package is a feat in itself.

It's an even more enticing proposition for those who are in the market for an affordable-ish, modestly sized smartphone, as we can't think of a small device that compares in terms of overall performance. The iPhone SE is by no means perfect with its 16GB storage option and poor front-facing camera, and it'll no doubt be too small for some, but it's undoubtedly the best 'mid-range' smartphone on the market today.

On the other hand, it's just 2011's design rebadged and a new engine put inside. Far from being a new phone, it's the iPhone 5SS, another iteration on an old design - but one that's a lot cheaper to buy. It's also got a much smaller screen where it's proved that larger displays are the popular choice now, with apps in particular making use of the extra space. Ultimately, Apple's given consumers a great choice here and actually for a half-decent price. The iPhone SE is a brilliant phone for those that want something smaller in their pocket and don't care about tired design - and I suspect there will be quite a few of those buyers out there.

It is a little puzzling why Apple didn’t do just a little more work on the design to give it a further point of difference for people who already have an iPhone 5 or 5S, but perhaps it tried to do a new version of the iPhone 5C and decided that bright coloured cases didn’t work for Nokia/Microsoft, so why bother?

With the new iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro, Apple is trying to fill holes in its product line and encourage more upgrading.

Me? I’m not going back to a small phone.

Notably, the iPhone SE looks and feels just like the iPhone 5S before it. It didn't get slimmer, or more round, but we kind of dig it. There's something novel about maintaining a tried-and-true design motif while overhauling everything within; indeed, that's exactly the model Apple followed when transitioning from the iPhone 6 to 6S.

Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
The iPhone SE is priced at Rs. 39,000 for the Indian market, and headed to the country in "early April". Earlier, the company had announced the price as Rs. 30,000 which made the iPhone SE a pretty attractive option, but at the 'new' price tag, the phone might face an uphill battle especially early on its life when there may not be many discounts on offer. Stay tuned for a detailed review of the iPhone SE on Gadgets 360.
