Maybe this is something Apple should have started way back in the days. I am talking about naming Apple smart phones in this very fashion we have seen them embrace with iPhone X. I say embrace because we see other smart phone manufacturers derive names of smartphones from an earlier version – a series of totally different smartphones that fall in one line or group. I’ll give an example of how Huawei have the Honor line of smartphones or even Samsung’s most related with J line of smartphones which has the likes of J3, J4, J7 and now we even see J6. Had this been the case with Apple, well, feel free to imagine. Anyway back to it, it is here and it is the September 2018 Apple iPhone XS. Below is a comprehensive list of its features.
Impressive? Yes, also safe to say so. It is with great relief we learn that it is scratch-resistant glass with oleophobic coating for protection. You don’t want to walk around with a broken iPhone XS display, leave alone go through the cost of replacing it. Other details listed under display for this phone include Dolby Vision/HDR10 compliant, Wide color gamut display, 3D Touch display, True-tone display and 120 Hz touch-sensing.
I have always loved camera performance on Apple smartphones. This time here and again the company hasn’t let me down. Primary camera(s) is an impressive dual 12 MP, f/1.8, 28mm, 1/2.55″, 1.4µm, OIS, PDAF and 12 MP, f/2.4, 52mm, 1.0µm, OIS, PDAF, 2x optical zoom, as impressive as its 7MP front facing ‘say cheese’ lens.
I love to see overlooked Optical Image Stabilization on board here. A feature that comes in so handy especially when it comes to video recording which by the way is 4k for the primary lens and 1080p@60fps for the front facing camera. Superb cameras on this phone my people, 9 out of 10 my verdict.
It runs iOS 12 of course. Another thing I love above iPhone again is how timely updates are rolled and received for almost all their smartphones. iOS 12 has been hyped all 2018 and now, with a new release comes it. An Apple A12 Bionic chipset, Hexa-core (2x Vortex + 4x Tempest) CPU and Apple GPU (4-core graphics) power this beast of a smart phone.
There is no support for SD card here, we are already used to that so, nothing new about that. All three versions of this Apple iPhone XS run on 4GB of RAM with 256 GB internal storage. Typical iPhone, expect no stutter while operating your phone friend, even with tens of applications running in the background.
Don’t we just love fast battery charging on smartphones these days? Here we get Fast battery charging: 50% in 30 min. Kudos! Don’t we fancy wireless charging on smartphones these days? Thanks to the glass back of XS, we have wireless charging for its Non-removable Li-Ion 2658 mAh battery that should give up to 6-7 hours of screen-on time. That’s about a whole day of mixed usage. With up to 20 hours of talk time and 60 of music play, you can never go wrong with it.
