I am compeled to say that the likes of Samsung try to get a selling point by adding excessively high resolution screens and sadly there are many people who purchase phones by comparing specs without considering that higher specs do not necessarily mean better. The iPhone always had the lowest specs compared to equivalent Android flagships but always outperformed them. iPhone screen resolution is not really such a big issue to keep mentioning. No reviewer ever the last 5 years or so thought the iPhone resolution is a disadvantage. SE's strongest selling point is $400 + performance at s7 levels and this what you have to beat. Don't try to cause unnecessary dramas for unnecessary pixels!

                        A lot of people who buy big screen phones are simply follow the trend. Apple has proven many times in the past that it can create new trends so the small screen but powerful SE is maybe the new trend. I am currently using an iPhone 6 that I upgraded from iPhone 4s and I enjoyed consuming content from the very first moment but it took me a long time to get used of carrying it around and not being able to operate it single handed. I would consider going back to a smaller phone... it simply more practical

                            The lowest specs super mini phone I have ever seen. And it is $500. The only good thing I see is the 64gb base model.

                                Why so small screen? ~60.8% screen-to-body ratio is just a joke. They could have just made it better. But deliberately decided not to.

                                  If it was up to Apple we would be using 720P screens until 2020+ . I just cant believe people still pay so much money for them

                                    This is NOT a hot product, not because the display size, I like 4 inch much. but the problem is design and dimensions. I'd love to see at least the 6S design, slim, not the oldest 5s design. Another things is width 58.6 mm which is also same in 4S. Length is not the cool thing always, Width and length for 4s is absolute good but not for 5s, and so not for 5SE. This needed to be slightly higher than 58.6 mm like 61 may b. :)

                                        Hot by spec/price (for iPhone) but not by size. My friends (ladies) less than 155cm using 5" phones with no trouble. 5"+ is direct alternative for both phone and tablet. There is no reason to release 4" phone with current website content, documents, video and sadly games.

                                        If you're using this phone only for basic functions or second phone then take it otherwise dump it.
