Which one is best for you?
Though not the latest models, both iPhone SE and Galaxy S7 edge remain popular phones – especially with those who like a traditional home button with built in fingerprint sensor.
Either is a good choice if you want a good phone with a quality screen and decent camera, without the price tag associated with the latest releases. However, iPhone SE will suit those who like a pocket-sized phone, while the S7 edge is more likely to appeal if you like the luxury of a large screen. Not ready to decide? Here are some of the top features of each phone.
