According to our mobile phone expert
If you want a compact, yet powerful, smartphone, the iPhone SE 32GB is for you. This iPhone has a 4-inch screen, making it easy to use with just one hand and just as easy to fit into the pocket of your tightest skinny jeans. Its small size does not come with any sacrifice in performance, however. The iPhone SE has the same hardware as the iPhone 6s and the A9 processor guarantees a smooth user experience. And your photos and videos will turn out beautifully when taken with the 12-megapixel camera. The iPhone SE may look modest, but there's a lot of power in that small package.

It is a perfect mobile, certainly the best iPhone price/quality. the small design is also easy to control with one hand. The touch ID is very handy and works better than my android smartphones. IOS is also very simple and useful. The camera is also very good and very smooth, the selfie camera is not that bad.

The iPhone SE has one undeniable advantage: at 400 euros (32GB), it is the cheapest, recent iPhone that you can get today. Whether that argument is decisive on say the 6s or a Galaxy S7 depends on how you approach its other features.
Speed: In the two days in which I used the SE, I noticed how quickly the device responded to my input. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ keeps apps running in the background for less time, so they take longer to open again. The SE also boots up faster. (Sometimes it feels like transition animations between apps slow down the SE. I suspect you can speed up those animations.)
Design: I have a soft spot for the design of the SE, which builds on the iconic iPhone 4(s). The skill is in the details: the near-precision with which the speaker cutouts are drilled, the pleasant resistance offered by the volume buttons, the subtle antenna lines. The aluminum almost always keeps the device cool in the hand. The fingerprint scanner works perfectly, even with clammy hands.
Software – the bad: iOS is a corset. As an Android user for many years, the lack of menu buttons next to the home button intuitively feels like a loss. The App Store shows large previews of apps, so you quickly lose the overview on such a small screen. The multiple app view (clicking the home button twice) is sick in the same bed. iOS 11 would fix that. The cursor to select text is not very accurate - sometimes I have to tap multiple times on a word to invoke the cursor, only to see the app select the word in its entirety. The SE doesn't have 3D Touch, which isn't a problem for now - today, 3D Touch seems like little more than a nice touch. Once iOS 11 is out, the SE could quickly become obsolete.
Software – the good: iOS follows a clear, inspired design language. It brings peace and clarity. Today, Android seems to have found an equal voice. iOS must be a very efficient software – it needs a minimum of working memory to operate quickly and reliably.
Screen quality: On paper, the SE scores below par. The small screen somewhat compensates for the pixel density. Viewing angles and contrast are okay; colors appear naturally, including white.
Size: Compared to the SE, my Galaxy S6 Edge+ is a rhinoceros. Operating a smartphone with one hand is a forgotten luxury. The SE is a lot less flashy in a conference room.
