Hello All, This is Lakshya from RechargeMyTopup.com,today we
review the IPhone XR 10. Ihis one already has a high degree of reputation but ideally
with my testing and hopefully in this review we can look past that little reputation
and figure out what this phone really is I mean it's another iPhone but this
one is very similar in a lot of ways with the new parts in the new design but
with some key differences so for this review let's look at everything that's
different about the iPhone 10 are that adds upto $250 cheaper and what I think
of it.
Okay so first things, first is this size the iPhone 10 are sits
right in between the 10s and a 10s max with this 6.1 inch display it's fine.
I'm one of those people who wishes there was an even smaller iPhone so that the
difference was more apparent but this 6.1 inch display kind of splits the
middle it's definitely harder for most people to reach the corners and the tops
of this display because it is so big that's one of those things though that you
can check out just by getting in a store and seeing for yourself but this size
for me is fine and on the build the IPhone 10R is made from different materials
and it's built differently than a 10s even with pretty much the same looking
design.
There's no stainless steel here iPhone10 R has anodized aluminum
sides which means they can color match them to get it to match the glass backs
and yes there are the six new colors and I know I've said before the red is my
favorite and yes it still is but I'm gonna go ahead and give my second place to
this blue.
I really like it, I think it's quite nice the coral on the yellow
don't really speak to me as much I think mostly because of the rail colors
being a little less saturated and the black and the white are just black and
white so the red and the blue are definitely my two favorite 10 hour colors.
Also small difference the iPhone 10 are water resistance is ip67
where the iPhone 10s was ip68 so worth noting. And you'll also notice the
slightly different locations for the antenna bands the 10r is missing a couple
just a pair of visible bands that on the 10s and the 10r since it lacks these bands
does not have gigabit LTE this only affects a tiny number of people who are
actually in an area where their carrier supports gigabit LTE but hey it's
different so there you have it.
Overall I'm mostly a fan of the build of the 10r I think the
colors are awesome they didn't have to do colors so I'm glad they did the backs
with the glass are super saturated and bright and vibrant. But the aluminum on
all the colors on the rails is always less saturated in the glass which makes
sense but it's kind of a bummer if you put a case or a skin on it because then
you hide the awesome color of the glass and you just get the metal.
It's not the end of the world but just had to point that out also
with the aluminum it's even more slippery than the stainless steel this is I
think the new slipperiest phone in the world champ prone to sliding out of your
pockets if you're not careful so be careful. Okay so the display this is the
biggest difference versus the iPhone 10s this is why Apple was able to make
this phone that cost $250 less this is why this phone even has a reputation
already before people even get to use it.
This is the most controversial part of this phone. IPhone10 R has
what Apple calls a liquid Retina display. You can ignore the fancy name but
it's an LCD with curved corner sits 1792 by 828 and it's surrounded by this
slightly thicker bezel. The panel itself it has great color and brightness, pretty
good viewing angles and believe it or not it's actually crisp enough for me at
regular use though I do start to see it as less sharp than the 10s when I pics
will peep from close-up but it's really not a bad display by any means it's
accurate it's vibrant. It feels like the easiest way to make the iPhone 10R
display seem bad is to focus entirely on the numbers of it don't even look at
the display just look at the spec sheet and the numbers on paper. It's less
than 1080p and it's 326 pixels per inch that's the pixel density you know what else
has that pixel density the iPhone 4that's an easy way to make it look bad but
you know what else has a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch the iPhone 8 and
that was fine most people didn't complain about that and that was a great
display so really focusing on the numbers isn't the most productive thing just
look at well the actual experience of using this phone and looking at the
display. And in practice the biggest losses for me with the 10 hour display are
no 3d touch and no OLED.
Apple did bring touched awake to the 10R you don't lose that but
obvious contrast in the black when you're watching a video isn't quite the same
with an LCD and even though this is one of the best LCDs you're not going to have
the pitch blacks of an OLED. I personally didn't use 3d touch that much anyway
pretty much only in the control center and the lock screen.
So on the 10R can do almost the same thing with along press that
will work in the control center and on the lock screen shortcuts but you can't
peek and pop into links and previews and things like that that's almost
completely gone from the 10r but I honestly don't miss it that much you still
have true tone so if you're into that I don't really use true tone but if you
do it's also here and you have tap to wake like I said you have rounded corners
it's fine the display no need to panic it's really fine the matter off act what
I really noticed the most isn't the resolution it isn't the lack of 3d touch it's
the bezels these bezels all the way around here just a couple millimeters thicker
than the iPhone 10s are noticeable to me everyday.
And to be fair after a little while you do get used to it but as a
person that has used an I Phone 10s I much prefer that it looks and feels that
much more modern to shave I guess one or two millimeters all the way around the
bezel so sure it's a bummer that you can't watch full 1080p videos especially
on this larger display. Trust me 1440 does look a lot better I would know and
it's a downgrade to LCD and there's no 3d touch but the bezels to me are
actually the most consistently noticeable difference that you'll have and
you'll have to be ok with them if you're gonna rock this phone. Alright two quick
ones, the RAM and the battery both of these are kind of a side effect of them
going with the lower resolution display first of all there is one gig less of
RAM so three gigs of RAM instead of four but honestly that's kind of all you
need in IOS when you're pushing way less pixels and RAM management is already
great.
And then the battery the iPhone 10 R has a 2942 million power battery
and it's really good now for most phones that statement wouldn't really line up
but again because that 800 banach is so powerful and it's pushing way less
pixels. The IPhone XR battery life is excellent just as good as the 10s max and
sometimes better. It's one of the best parts of this phone. Of course I would
expect a phone this big to have all-day battery life just out of principle but
having it be better than I expected was a pleasant surprise. So that leaves the
biggest difference, the camera the single camera on the back of the iPhone 10 R
which is the exact same as the primary camera on the 10s ii telephoto. So some
people have noticed slightly different image quality from the 10 RS camera
versus the 10s. I have not for me it's still the same a very good iphone camera
but subtracting that telephoto lens has actually had some interesting
implications that aren't all negative.So that telephoto camera as you know is
good for two things optical zoom and portrait mode. So optical zoom, yeah
that's gone you concede a worse quality digital zoom but here's a little not so
secret, secret about zoom on the iPhone that telephoto lens has always been a
worst quality sensor and image that just let in less light soften times in
worse conditions specifically low-light the IPhone will realize that the
optical zoom coming from the darker lens is actually not as good as the primary
so it'll just take the digital zoom from the primary lens anyway so yeah there
is no telephoto lens on the iPhone 10 are but I think that affects a lot less
zoom scenarios than we actually realize and often times we're gonna get better
results from using the better camera and then the other thing is portrait mode
so the 10swould use both cameras for a depth detection and then use the
telephoto camera to zoom in for a better natural the 10 our portrait mode
obviously doesn't do this which means it's always using the better quality
primary camera and it's a wider angle and I don't know if you've noticed but
wider angle portraits with a shallow depth of field is kind of my favorite look
it's kind of a thing I think it's the most visually interesting version of a
portrait so I kind of really like this they've remapped the background blur to
look more like a wide-angle optic than telephoto and it makes a real difference
through all the adjustment.
I really do notice it the background feels kind of more swirly
sometimes like they have more character but there is of course downside which
is that it doesn't have depth detection anymore at all so it's doing pretty
much all of the work with software and with that Apple has limited it to photos
of human faces only so if you try to take a portrait mode of anything else it
won't work it'll tell you it's kind of waiting for a person to be detected so
that's kind of a bummer no portrait shots of objects which I started doing more
on plenty of other Android phones. But that's the price you pay in Apple's world
so all those previous points have added up to the iPhone 10 are starting at 750
bucks for 64 gigs definitely not a budget phone don't let anyone tell you it's
a budget phone but at $250 cheaper than the iPhone 10s this is a much better
deal the biggest downsides are the display and the camera I know a lot of
things I kind of spoke about in the camera we're pretty positive but don't let
me fool you into thinking it's a better camera.
Those are the biggest downsides of this phone but those are when
comparing it to the iPhone 10s but a lot of people are coming from iPhone 8and
iPhone 7 and older and for those people this is an upgrade in pretty much every
possible way and for not much more money the iPhone 8 started for 700 bucks this
is 750 so my conclusion is pretty much the same as I suspected when this phone
first got announced which is this is the best seller iPhone for everyone.
They didn't even have to do colors imagine if they just did a
black and white iPhone 10 are a little more boring probably would have flown
more under the radar but the fact that they did the colors is kind of like a
cherry on top so if you were one of those people who was already gonna get an
iPhone 10s or10s max you probably still should just like I said in the review
it's not like you should switch to this instead of that but if you're on one of
those older phones iPhone 10 R is a good upgrade. Because of its all awesome
feature this phone is presently the best selling mobile phone of Apple
worldwide.
