The UnboxingTN Verdict
out of 100
The iPhone SE remains compact and well-built, but its tiny battery, dated display, and limited hardware reveal its age.
What is good
- Compact 113 g body and 4-inch footprint suit one-handed use
- iOS 9 provides a coherent, polished software experience
- NFC and Wi-Fi 5 offer useful connectivity options
What is not
- 1624 mAh battery and 5 W charging severely limit endurance
- 4-inch, 640×1136 display feels cramped for modern use
- 2 GB RAM and Apple A9 constrain multitasking and longevity
