Which one is best for you?
Choosing your next phone is a big decision – and size is an important factor. If you’re a fan of iOS and you like a pocket-sized phone, iPhone SE is a great option – and its traditional home button has a fingerprint sensor, so it’s easy to unlock, too.
But if you prefer a bigger screen, the Galaxy S8+ may suit you better. There’s no physical home button – but it’ll unlock with a glance once you set up iris recognition.
Still can’t decide? Read on for a quick summary of each.
