Apple iPhone SE (64GB)

Apple has formally introduced iPhone SE (Special Edition) which will retail in 110 markets world wide. On the outside, it isn't very different from iPhone 5S launched more than two years ago. On the inside, Apple replenishes it with iPhone 6s-like hardware, and the end result is expected to please everyone who values a smaller size iPhone.

The iPhone SE is powered by Apples A9 chip which with M9 motion co-processor, and will deliver 2X performance and 3X garphics performance when compared to the iPhone 5s. The new 12MP iSight camera can also record 4K videos. Other features include Apple Pay, iOS 9.3, better Wifi and faster LTE speeds.

A couple of iPhone 6s features didn't make the cut. The iPhone SE retains the touch ID used in iPhone 5s which is slower in comparison and also includes the same display panel, which means No 3D touch and lower contrast.

The iPhone 5se will be targeting all such users who prioritize single handed usage. The lowest price of iPhone SE at the time of launch will be 39,000 INR. We will update you about where and for how much you can buy iPhone 5se in India as more information surface.

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. read more →

The SE is the little iPhone With a 4-inch screen and the body of an iPhone 5s, it fits in my pockets better than my iPhone 6s, and it’s easier to use one-handed. But it doesn’t compromise much over its bigger, more expensive siblings.

If you were waiting for Apple to put out another 4-inch phone before you’d upgrade, you’re probably dancing in the streets right now—and you should be, because this phone is such a huge step up from the iPhone 5s. read more →

This review is directly aimed at those upgrading from one of Apple's smaller phones from a few years ago, because that's clearly who the brand made the iPhone SE. With the iPhone SE, Apple's fixed a big problem: price. Given the internals on offer here, this would have been close to a perfect phone if it weren't for a few glaring omissions.

It sees the older form factor as a beloved chassis that many people will be loath to give up, and is trying to convince them that the iPhone SE is the perfect port in the Storm of Myriad Smartphones, the obvious upgrade. read more →

The iPhone SE is still a great phone, with excellent performance and reliability across the board. If you absolutely can't stand the bigger iPhones, then sure, there are few reasons not to get the SE; but if you find yourself mostly attracted by its more affordable price tag, I'd recommend that you go for the older but sleeker iPhone 6, or look at refurbished options for iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s. The Android-based Xperia Z5 Compact, which is the only other high-end mini smartphone on the market right now, is nowhere near as refined as the iPhone SE. read more →
