326 ppi is more than enough for this sized screen. There’s no need to add useless extra pixels to make performance worse.

This is atrocious. The screen size is barely watchable, type-able and on top of that Battery life sucks. Are we in 2020 ?

Despite the comments and ire reviews from folks who were not going to buy it anyway, it's a good enough replacement for my dying SE from 2016. It's too easily forgotten, this phone isn't supposed to be compared to the 11 Pro or the latest OnePlus phone, it's supposed to be compared to the old SE because that's what it's replacing.

Not every headphone output is equal. Some phones could have USB C ports and an included dongle that emits analogue sound, other phones require a DAC in the dongle.
Not every headphone is equal. Higher-end headphones require more power ... and different DACs are not as capable at driving those.
Even if the average headphone output is pretty good ... There *are* some that are significantly worse than the norm, and we consumers want to know which those are!

This is a good phone if you only look at the apple lineup. People seem to forget that there are other brands with more options for less money, and no, they don't lag and don't have more bugs than iOS 13 and they don't need 100 years of software updates because they already have all the features iOS is laking.
But Ok, people blinded by the Apple logo will not look any further anyway.

This one has a cheap tiny display in a normal phone and then ask a premium price for what you get. Typical from Apple. If how much this phone cost to produce is revealed, customers will be surprised to watch how cheap is in reality and how much profit Apple earn.

Dear GSMArena staff,
I don't care about i{hone SE's audio test because it doesn't have a jack, but I still wish to tell you,.. In the review, your statement, "The reason for that is that most phones were already excellent in this regard" is an inaccurate one.
I've heard different audio setups from Samsung, LG, Mi, etc and I can confirm that on regularly heard, favourite songs, you can differentiate between their quality... And no, all phones are not excellent.
On that basis, would you please resume the audio quality test (only for phones with audio jack)? or if there's any other concrete reason, please share in all honesty.
Because this was our only source of the internet for decent review on audio quality.

This is a small phone for people who like small phones. If you want phones with gigantic screens they are available for you. So please let the small phone lovers enjoy it in peace. Hopefully one of the many android makers can make a better 4.7 inch screen phone that has a more compact form factor and maybe even more compact pricing.

I think the time will prove you otherwise. Not everybody considers smaller form factor inferiour or a "downgrade".

"Let me tell you one thing - being a tech enthusiast and not looking at this product from average consumer perspective automatically disqualify you from criticising this product. This is a phone for an average Joe who:
-Would like to make a switch to Apple ecosystem but can't pay $1000+ to get an iPhone 11 Pro
-Needs a compact and long lasting device for their kids whose friends also use iDevices
-Wants to replace their old iPhones (8, 7, 6s, 6, 5s) but hate modern phone's form factor
-is an Android user but needs iDevice for some reasons e.g. App testing, for work"
>>> You are not addressing the elephant in the room.
No average user, Apple or Android wants to downgrade to 4.7 inch screen.
This is a niche device which will only be preferred by people who want smaller compact phones. Majority of the users aren't going to sacrifice the big screen real estate.
