iPhone X review: 5.8 inch, 3GB RAM, 12MP: a premium beast
The Apple iPhone X has really been anticipated this year, with many news outlets eagerly awaiting news of what it would look like and what the performance would be like. With the release in the later part of 2017, Apple really did not disappoint with their latest beast of a phone, the iPhone X. In this iPhone X review, we’ll have a look at the wins in this smartphone’s smart design, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of its iPhone brand.
iPhone X review: Great design, specs, and more…
First things first, we can talk about the obvious: the design change. Apple seemed to have been resisting the bezel-less trend for a while. But with this new phone, they decided to plunge themselves in head first. Apple iPhone Xn has a huge screen to body ratio. 82.9% of its front surface being occupied by a 5.8 inches Super AMOLED Screen. The screen has a 1125 x 2436 pixels resolution, which gives it a stunning 458 ppi density. It achieved this in part by getting rid of the home button, which is where the fingerprint sensor was, and replaced that security with face recognition.
Now, let’s get inside this phone’s hardware and software and see what comes of it. First, we can see that it has 3GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal memory. The low RAM should not be an issue, however, as it performs extremely well. According to the Geekbench scores, it’s definitely the most powerful phone on the market, next to the iPhone 8. It is powered by the latest and powerful Apple chipset, with the Apple A11 Bionic processor in its pocket. Like previous phones, iPhone X internal storage is not expandable, but Apple has focused on pushing their cloud services for a long time to remedy that.
Finally, let’s end this review with the social media user’s most important tool, the cameras. If you’re big on using your smartphone to share your life and beautiful sights around you, you’re going to love this phone. The main camera has dual 12MP sensors. It has incredible capabilities: shooting 4K recording at a 60 frames a second, which delivers clear and fluid images. The selfie camera has an amazing capacity to combine the 7MP sensor with TrueDepth feature. Such duo creates beautiful blends of photos, especially when using their portrait mode.
Conclusion to the iPhone X review: BEAST
This device is really a treat, with specs that impressed us all the way and really held up to scrutiny. All in all it’s a great device in many ways – especially for people looking to be the most up to date and taking the clearest, most artistic selfies! However, this device does come with a steep price tag, costing up to $999 at its release. Perhaps that is a bit out of your range, but the specs do come at at a cost! Let’s see what users themselves think, if they find that it’s worth it.
