I still use an iPhone SE. Both of my previous smartphones (Galaxy S3 and Moto X) were significantly larger than the SE and significantly smaller than the XS. The form factor was the only reason I switched and was noticeably better for me from day 1.

But it is significantly larger, and it is also significantly heavier (weighs 50% more). The weight aspect is often ignored, but I found it very noticeable when I tried the XS. https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Apple-iPhone-SE,Apple...

iPhone XS is even bigger than iPhone 6/7/8 though :P
