If classic design, cutting edge technology and reasonable pricing is your selection criteria, Apple iPhone SE should be the best deal that Apple has offered you, so far.

Many people are still nostalgic about smaller phones by Motorola. The StarTAC used to be only 88 grams, Moto Razr V3 took it to a new level with just 99 grams. 4” SE which is only 113 grams preserve the flavor of 3.5 inch phones. Chances are there that people will actually like this because of its higher portability.

If you are accustomed to big screen smartphones, you must have observed how difficult it is to operate the huge screened smartphones on the fly! You need both the hands to operate it. Starting from typing to scrolling to photo capturing, larger screens are not that convenient. You should try this SE model and you will be surprized by the ease of operation, especially, one handed operations.

Before Apple came out with large screens there were big hue and cry from the iPhone users demanding larger screens. Now that the large screens are there, people (well, many) realized that larger is not always the better. Again, it’s your choice basically. You may not find any visual difference while operating SE.

Let’s try to find out why you should go for iPhone SE.

Design

Apple SE sports the same old iPhone 5s design with flat metal edges which provides better grip than the smooth edges of iPhone 6s/ 6s plus. You have to keep in mind that iPhone 5S is still the best selling iPhone in the world

Internals

This is what is the key point. SE internals are much more advanced than iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 plus and equivalent to iPhone 6s/ 6s plus. Fast processor, 12 MP rear camera, 2 GB RAM makes the hardware very attractive. Smaller screen than iPhone 6S/ iPhone 6s plus gives it a better battery life. In fact, SE is the best phone so far as battery life is concerned. You should get minimum 12-13 hours of battery life using Wi-Fi and LTE.

Perceived Shortcomings like a first-generation Touch ID fingerprint sensor, lower-resolution front camera and no 3D Touch are the very minor irritants and doesn’t make any major difference whatsoever.

Price

Price is the most attractive proposition here. 16GB version costs $399 and 64GB is only $499. That makes it the cheapest iPhone ever. It’s an upgrade so far as iPhone 6/ 6 plus and downwards versions are concerned!

Incidentally, iPhone 6 is priced at $549 for 16GB version, $649 for 64B versions. iPhone 6s is priced from $649 for the 16GB version and $749 for 64GB version.

Overall, it’s a great design with cutting-edge internals and indeed a bargain. Just don’t miss it!
