Planning to Buy iPhone XR, Know About iPhone Specification and Technology
 |
Hello friends, this is the iPhone XR we will talk about today
This is the one of Apple's best mobiles.
The Price of iPhone XR, which starts at AMAZON, costs around 44,500 (64 GB), depending on its specification.
If you are thinking about display resolution, pricing and OLEDs vs LCD, wait wait be patient.
A lot of people may question the size of the XR, and talk compared to the XS, but while the XR is priced at Rs 44500, the XS is priced at 66500.
But today I am telling you the decisive FACTORS between XS and XR, which will help you in deciding.
- How’s the Display of iPhone XR in comparison with other iPhone's
The iPhone XR is basically the iPhone XS with a slightly different display.
XR got the same A-12 bionic processor, the same main camera with smart HDR, the same iOS 12, but instead of that edge to edge OLED Like XS, there's a 6.1 inch liquid retina LCD. And the display is fine.
Obviously, it's lower resolution and pixel density than OLEDs in other flagship iPhone like the XS, but if you're upgrading from a previous LCD iPhone it's going to look really familiar. I do think it's a little Different than previous LCD iPhones when you look at it off axis. It shifts a tiny bit pink and the brightness drops quickly, which means it can sometimes look a little shimmery, but honestly you have to be a huge display nerd to really notice that. What you will definitely notice is the larger bezel around the entire display and Apple's notch. The notch is the same deal as the iPhone X and XS.
It houses a face ID system in the front facing camera, but the thicker bezel is there because Apple had to fit the back-light for the LCD panel somewhere. Don't get me wrong, that bezel looks gigantic and especially silly next to the XS but the back-light engineering is actually really clever. You don't see a lot of LCD phones with perfectly rounded corners and no chins out there and Apple did a bunch of crazy Apple stuff here.
- LCD VS OLED
One of the major differences between LCD and OLED screens is how they produce light. OLED pixels are their own light source and you can turn them on and off individually.
You can't do that with an LCD because there's just one back-light for the entire display. So you can round off LCD corners by shutting off the pixels but its super tough to get it perfect because the back light will still shine through.
All of that screen re-engineering means that Apple had to take out 3D touch. Instead there's something called the haptic touch which is a fancy way of saying long press with haptic feedback.
Now there's only two places I ever used 3D touch on my other iPhones and I didn't really miss it here.
I used it to scroll around a text field which works with a long press on the space bar and turning on the camera and flashlight from the lock screen, which you can do by just holding on those buttons. Apple has the best haptic feedback in the industry and all of it sort of feels very convincing.
I did miss previewing links in Twitter and Safari, but Apple tells me haptic touch will come to more and more places in the iOS over time. Hopefully that gets added back in. Overall, I've always been a fan of how accurate and balanced Apple's LCDs are compared to the OLEDs in most Android phones and the XR is definitely another Apple LCD.
If you're coming from an iPhone six, seven, eight, it's going to look very familiar. But after spending a year with the iPhone X, I gotta tell you it's not as good as Apple's OLEDs. It doesn't have the deep black levels or infinite contrast to the iPhone XS.
It doesn't support Dolby Vision video playback. And in general that backlight means you can always see the border between the bezel and the edge of the display even when you have a dark background. The display does have true tone but it's always a little warmer than my XS.
Again, I think you have to go really looking for some of this stuff and if it bothers you you can just spend more money on a better screen, which I am definitely going to do.
- Size and Shapes
Size-wise, the XR sits right between the old iPhone six, seven, eight size phones and the bigger plus models.
Now, I have pretty big hands so this feels like a nice size compromise but if you've been using one of the smaller phones, the XR is definitely going to feel bigger.
And it's a taller screen and a narrower body than the old plus phones. I would definitely recommend going to the store and holding this thing before you buy it because it's a totally new size of iPhone and it's different from anything you might be familiar with.
If you're a small phone person you're basically going to be stuck with last year's iPhone eight or paying more for an iPhone XS.
I kind of hope Apple fix that next year and do small and large in both models of phone.
There's a glass back and aluminum border that comes in a bunch of colors. I love how mean our black review unit looks, but I got to see the other colors and they're really nice.
I like the blue and the coral the best but the project red is striking and I know people are excited about the yellow.
Just keep in mind that while the screen on the XR is made of the same glass on the XS that Apple says is the most durable ever, the XR's back is not the same glass.
It's the glass used on last year's iPhone X, and the back of my iPhone XShattered even though I keep it in the case all the time. So, you know, be careful out there.
- Camera Quality
There was a bunch of controversy around the front camera on the iPhone XS which people claim was smoothing out and beautifying skin, but Apple tells me that was all a bug and that iOS 12.1 will improve selfie on the XR and XS by picking a sharper base frame instead of a blurrier long exposure.
The XR only has a single lens in the back and I'm just going to come out and say that I don't miss having the second lens from the XS at all.
I never really took zoomed photos in XS and the XR's single lens portrait mode is actually really good.
In fact, I prefer the XR's portrait mode to the XS because shooting using the brighter wide angle lens means it works better in low light and takes more interesting photos. In a low light, the XR is obviously better than the XS.
The XR's portrait mode is kind of the most flexible and useful of the bunch. After several rounds of testing Apple's smart HDR, I'm beginning to understand what it can.
I'm starting to get better photos out of it, it can definitely take photos no camera has ever really taken before. But it still crushes detail and produces artificial looking images way more often than I would like.
The iPhone XR has the same video capture as the iPhone XS. It can shoot 4K 60. When you shoot in 24 it adds frames to create greater dynamic range, and it records stereo audio.
If you want to record video on your Smartphone, you should get an iPhone.
- In terms of performance
The XR was essentially identical to the XS as I used it day to day and it even had basically the same benchmark number in some quick tests.
It has slightly less RAM than the XS, it's three gigs instead of four, but it's pushing half as many pixels and honestly I think the RAM spec matters way less on iOS than it does on Android phones.
Apple's chips are so far ahead of the industry that it's clear the A-12 bionic has tons of headroom to spare.
The XR also has a larger battery than the X and the XS and it ran for about 13 hours with my everyday use of browsing and email and Slack and apps. There's about six hours of screen on time.
That's slightly more than the XS and even more than the eight plus from last year.
- Final Tips
Honestly when we first started making this Blog, it felt like the big question would be what the XR is missing compared to the XS.
But now that I've used this thing for a while, it's flipped in my mind.
The real question for iPhone buyers is whether spending 65000 on the XS, is it really worth it over the XR, because the XR offers almost everything you would want?
