Design

The iPhone X's revolutionary (for Apple tree) new look drops the home-button and its bezels, except for that tiny cutout for its front-facing cameras. While this is an attractive artful that follows the industry patterns in turning the smartphone into ane behemothic screen, information technology introduces a learning curve.

Primarily, without a home button, you lot're going to be swiping a lot more than. Y'all need to perform a half-swipe from the bottom edge to get the app-switcher, or perform a full swipe up to go to the home screen. If you lot're not looking to larn a new set of gestures just yet, yous'll like the iPhone seven and viii a lot more, as their designs retain the home button.

The iPhone 8 also offers a new expect, but just on its rear. Apple'south dropped the aluminum backs of the iPhone 7 to give the 8 and 8 plus a glass pane, which allows for wireless charging using the Qi standard.

The 7.seven millimeter-thick, vi.14-ounce iPhone X is thicker than some of its siblings, only it's still lighter than others. And then while the iPhone viii Plus (vii.5mm; 7.xiii ounces) and iPhone 7 Plus (7.3mm; 6.63 ounces) are thinner and heavier, the iPhone viii (7.3mm, 5.22 ounces) and iPhone 7 (7.1mm, 4.87 ounces) are thinner and lighter than the iPhone X.

While the iPhone vii and 7 Plus come up in Black, Jet Blackness, Golden, Rose Gilded and Argent, yous lose color options in the more expensive models. The iPhone viii is sold only in Silver, Space Gray and Gilded, while the iPhone Ten is only going to exist in Silver and Space Gray.

Display

While the iPhone X's 5.8-inch display is bigger than the 4.seven-inch screens in the iPhone vii and 8 and the five.5-inch panels in the iPhone seven Plus and 8 Plus, size isn't the just reason to upgrade. The largest iPhone also features an OLED panel, another offset for Apple tree.

Why are OLED displays so of import? As anyone with a Galaxy phone one can tell y'all, they offering richer colors, deeper blacks and wider viewing angles, than the LCD displays establish in the iPhone 7 and 8.

The iPhone Ten's 2436 ten 1125-pixel resolution is besides higher than those in the 7 and viii, with Plus-sized versions packing 1920 10 1080-pixel panels and the standard options going with 1334 10 750 displays.

The iPhone 7, 8 and X phones all output images in the P3 broad color gamut, only simply the iPhone 8 or X come with Truthful Tone color, which accommodate its tone calibration on the wing, matching the lighting effectually you.

Cameras

The cameras in the iPhone eight and X enable a whole host of tricks, simply the X does have some exclusive capabilities that might convince some to pay that actress dough.

Main amid those features is far better selfies, as only the Ten's 7-megapixel TrueDepth Camera offers Portrait mode photos. The rear cameras in both the the iPhone 10 and 8 offer Portrait Lighting, a new technology that maps your face for more-well-lit photos. We were impressed by the new characteristic when we tested the dual rear cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus, (which is why we recommend that model over the iPhone 8).

Also, iPhone X users will snap slightly clearer photos when using the 2x optical zoom, including those taken in low-lighting situations. That's cheers to its rear telephoto lens, which features a f/ii.4 aperture that takes in more than lite. (The telephoto lens on the iPhone 8 Plus has a smaller f/2.8 aperture.) The iPhone X's telephoto lens also packs optical epitome stabilization (OIS), which means both of that smartphone's sensors benefit from this feature, while the iPhone eight merely offers OIS in one of its cameras, the f/one.eight broad-angle sensor.

The iPhone X and 8 Plus as well characteristic dual rear-facing 12-megapixel sensors that can record upwards to 4K video at sixty frames per second (and 1080p clips at 240fps for super-slo-mo). All the same, both of the iPhone Ten'south rear shooters accept optical prototype stabilization, compared to one for the iPhone 8 and iPhone seven Plus.

The iPhone X's 7MP selfie cam shoots 1080p video at up to 60fps, while the front-facing lens on the 8 Plus shoots 1080p video at up to 30fps.

Both the iPhone 8 and X cameras are built for Augmented Reality technology, with customization for depression light recording and 60 fps smoothness. As well, the phones feature new gyro and accelerators.

The iPhone vii's cameras are similar (one rear-mounted 12-MP sensor in the 4.seven-inch iPhone 7 and two in the Plus sized models), but the big differences are in frame-rates. The 4K footage from the iPhone X and iPhone 8 at 60fps is twice as fast as the iPhone 7 provides, and the 1080p video at 240fps rate is four times as fast. Apple didn't even advertise the frame-rate of the iPhone 7's selfie-cam.

After testing the iPhone X's camera — including a caput-to-head showdown with the Pixel 2 XL — we retrieve Apple tree'due south newest smartphone is the all-time camera phone available, though the iPhone viii Plus is a very good option, too.

Security

The iPhone 10 introduces Confront ID, which uses 3D facial recognition for unlocking the iPhone X and authenticating its payments. It also drops the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. By replacing Touch ID (which wasn't broken) for Face up ID, Apple's taking away an unlock method that users are familiar with. Based on our testing, Face ID works well in all sorts of lighting atmospheric condition, simply it's not always as fast every bit Touch ID.

Specs and Performance

You don't become more speed for your buck in the iPhone X versus the iPhone viii, as both feature Apple's A11 Bionic CPU. This is the next generation of the A10 Fusion processor found in the 7 and 7 Plus.

The A11 Bionic bit provides a major boost, with 20 percent improvement on dual-core processes, and a seventy percent leap on quad-core activity. The new A11 chip also has a new custom-designed GPU.

Apple's not kidding: when we tested the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, we tallied corresponding scores of x,170 and x,472 in the GeekBench 4 test of general functioning. The iPhone viii's score is 54 percent faster than what the Galaxy Notation viii turned in, meaning Apple's new devices are the fastest smartphones by some distance. The iPhone 10 scored right in between the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

The iPhone X was likewise neck and neck with the iPhone viii and 8 Plus when editing a 4K video. Both the iPhone X and iPhone viii Plus took 42 seconds for all three devices to transcode a 2-minute clip using the Adobe Clip app.

Battery Life

Apple claims that the iPhone X will final around two hours longer than the iPhone 7. And in our testing — which involves continuous surfing over LTE until the phone runs out of gas — the iPhone X came pretty shut to that claim, lasting 10 hours, 49 minutes. That's one:46 longer than the iPhone seven, which lasted 9:03. And it's an hour better than average smartphone fares on our battery exam.

Still, the iPhone 10 is not the longest-lasting Apple telephone. That honor goes to the iPhone 8 Plus, which turned in a time of xi:xvi, placing information technology on our list of longest-lasting smartphones. The iPhone 8 held on for a better-than-average time of 9:54.

Special Features

The iPhone 8 and X are the beginning two Apple smartphones to feature wireless charging, made possible by changing to a glass back for Qi-based charging.

Apple'south custom-blithe emoji, dubbed Animoji, is an iPhone Ten exclusive, as merely that phone includes the front-facing sensors that can capture each user'due south facial expressions. The depth-sensing cameras as well enables new tricks in third-political party apps like Snapchat.

Pricing and Storage

Coming in simply shy of a grand with its $999 entry-level 64GB model, the iPhone X costs $one,149 when upgraded to 256GB of internal storage. The eight Plus starts at $200 less, with its 64GB model costing $799 and its 256GB model running you $949. You'll spend $100 less than that for the smaller iPhone 8, which costs $699 for 64GB and $849 for 256GB.

The iPhone seven and vii Plus, which include half every bit much storage as their iPhone 8 counterparts, price every bit much as $200 less, equally the 128GB iPhone seven costs $649 (down from the $849 256GB iPhone 8), and the 32GB iPhone 7 costs $549. The 128GB iPhone vii Plus goes for $769, and the 32GB 7 Plus costs $669.

Outlook

The iPhone X'south nearly bezel-free design and OLED screen offers then much that it makes the iPhone 8 and iPhone eight Plus look blowsy, but it'due south hard to say that the iPhone 8 Plus is not a great device. It offers the same speed you go with the X and most of the same camera perks. The iPhone 7 is a good deal at $549, but we'd prefer the bigger screen on the $669 iPhone seven Plus if we were going to buy an older phone.

The best two iPhones right at present are the iPhone X and the iPhone viii Plus. The iPhone X has a sleeker design and more than colorful OLED display, but the iPhone eight is the improve value for those looking to save a piddling dough and possibly put it toward extra storage.
