iPhone SE — 325.6 PPI
The iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD display at 750 × 1334 pixels — Apple's most affordable iPhone.
At 326 PPI, this exceeds the ~300 PPI threshold where individual pixels become imperceptible at hand-held distance. This is Retina-class density — sharp enough that increasing PPI further yields diminishing visible returns.
How sharp is the iPhone SE display?
The phone panel measures 325.6 PPI from its750 × 1,334 resolution across a 4.7″ diagonal.At a typical phone viewing distance of 10–14 inches (25–35 cm), individual pixels become indistinguishable beyond roughly 10.6″ / 26.8 cm — the 20/20 visual-acuity limit for this density. At 325.6 PPI, the panel is comfortably in Retina-class territory for its use case.
At 326 PPI, this exceeds the ~300 PPI threshold where individual pixels become imperceptible at hand-held distance. This is Retina-class density — sharp enough that increasing PPI further yields diminishing visible returns.
iPhone SE vs the phone lineup
Across the 71 phones in this database, the average pixel density is447.1 PPI. The iPhone SE sits at 325.6 PPI —121.5 PPI below the category average, sharper than 1% of its peers.
For context outside the phone class: 325.6 PPI is about 1.5× the density of the 27" 5K Monitor reference display (217.6 PPI).
