“For the past three weeks, I’ve been using an iPhone SE,” Adrianne Jeffries writes for Motherboard. “I’m an Android user. I like my widgets and my Google apps, and I always felt the iPhone was too fancy and breakable for me. This was my first experience using an iPhone as my everyday device.”
“The phone, which has the same processor as the iPhone 6s, is certainly fast. The camera is crisp and good in low light. The battery has remarkable stamina,” Jeffries writes. “But there’s really only one thing that would make me break for an iPhone: size. I’m five feet tall and have proportionately small hands, something I’ve become increasingly aware of since becoming a smartphone user.”
“Using the smaller iPhone SE was delightful. My current Z5 Compact and the Z3 Compact I had before it were both excellent, premium phones, and waterproof to boot. However, the iPhone is a luxury by comparison,” Jeffries writes. “It was nice to use a luxury phone in my size. If I were in the market for a new phone right now, I’d seriously consider buying one. It is the only truly small high-end smartphone.”
