I just wish that Apple made a 128 GB version that was water resistant. I use a SE in a otterbox Armor case now. I have the 64 GB model of the SE. I use to have a 6 plus but its was too big to carry around at the gym. If I wanted a bigger SE I would buy a 6S and have bad battery life.

    AnonD-126854, 06 Nov 2016Why you want 4'' , when in same pocketable size like SE co... moreHonestly. it could be even 4.5 inches. I just need the extra compact size. it's really comfy in the pocket and even if it's a PDA. it's supposed to be pocketable. can you pocket any device that is 5.5" and up? some you can, but over 5.8" it's bulging and winking to the thieves "STEAL ME!!"

      Really considering the SE. I'm looking a smaller phone for myself. Not really gonna use it for media consumption apart from music because I have a laptop that I can use for major browsing and watching movies. Right now, I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro (which has awesome battery life and build quality TBH), but the mediocre camera (particularly its video capabilities) and outdated Android version (stuck on 5.1.1 when many phones are at least on 6.0) really bother me. I don't want to get any of Sony's Compact phones because they're not really that compact for me. Also, Apple is improving on the software side with iOS 10. So, yeah, the SE seems to be my next phone.

I'm glad you're enjoying being ripped off by Apple. By the way...there is a reason why they dropped in market share from 30% several years back, to around 12% this year. Think about it.

            Peoples should buy 5.0 - 5.5 inches range of screen size smartphone.
            Don't buy the expensive tiny 4.0 inches

              Never used any iphones, but a lot of my friends do. And comparing all the iphones, I like this hardware the best. Yes, the screen is small. But it's very pocketable, usable with 1 hand, and it doesnt collect fingerprints or smudges badly like my Z3 compact.

                          Everyone thought they were mad to drop the old mouse port, but now we all USB!

                          So now we dropped the ancient 3.5 port. It's genius you just can't see it yet.
