Dan Pražák On Friday, after almost a two-month wait, this year's most talked-about smartphone - the iPhone X - hit the counters of foreign and domestic stores. As Apple itself made itself heard shortly after the premiere, the iPhone 10 has the task of setting the direction in which Apple phones will go for the next ten years. But what is the iPhone X really like? Does it really look that exceptional in normal use, and are its features, especially Face ID, really groundbreaking? It is still too early to give answers to these questions, but we already have the first impressions of the phone in the editorial office after two days of use, so let's summarize them.
The iPhone X is undoubtedly a beautiful piece of technology, and right out of the box you'll catch the eye with its glass back and shiny stainless steel edges, which flow perfectly into the display. The OLED panel itself plays with all kinds of colors so richly that it is immediately liked, not to mention the minimal frames, which make you feel that you are practically holding only the display in your hand and enjoying a perfectly sharp image.
However, the panel has two flaws in its beauty. The first one is, of course, nothing more than the controversial cut-out hiding the front TrueDepth camera along with the whole host of sensors needed for Face ID. You can get used to the cutout quite easily and quickly, but you simply lose some elements that you were used to seeing all the time. The indicator showing the remaining battery capacity in percentage had to go from the top line, and unfortunately there is no longer an option in the settings to activate it. Fortunately, the percentage can be displayed, all you have to do is pull down the control center from the upper right corner, when the good old panel will appear, including all the icons (for example, Bluetooth, rotation lock, etc.)
The second flaw in the beauty is the yellowish white (even with the True Tone function deactivated), which draws attention to itself immediately after unpacking the phone from the box and turning it on for the first time. Unfortunately, OLED panels have never been able to display as perfect white as LCD, and even Apple with its Super Retina HD display could not reverse this fact. However, as a compensation, we get perfect black and a much more saturated and faithful remaining color spectrum.
Since the first model, the iconic main button to return to the home screen is tatami, and so gestures rushed to the scene. However, they work great, and on the contrary, they often make working with the phone easier and faster. We particularly praise the gesture for quickly switching to one of the secondary applications, where you just need to swipe from right to left (or vice versa) along the bottom edge of the display and you are instantly switched to another application accompanied by a graceful animation.
Hand in hand with the absence of the home button, Touch ID has also disappeared. However, it has not moved anywhere, as it has been fully replaced by a new authentication method – Face ID. Face authentication can be a little confusing at first, but Apple has done a great job here. With Face ID, we can finally repeat the famous phrase of Steve Jobs - "It just works." Yes, Face ID really works, and in all circumstances - outdoors, in normal light, indoors in artificial light, in absolute darkness, with glasses, even with sunglasses, with a hat, with a scarf, just always. So there is no need to worry in this regard.
But there is also a second view of Face ID, from the point of view of practicality. For now, it's probably too early to come up with final verdicts, but simply put - Face ID will make using your phone minimally easier. Yes, it's great to just look at the display, do nothing, and it will instantly unlock itself, showing you the notification content that is hidden from others. But when you have your phone on the table and you have to either lift it in front of your face or lean over it to use it, you won't be so excited. A similar problem occurs, for example, in the morning in bed when you lie on your side and part of your face is buried in the pillow - Face ID simply does not recognize you.
On the other hand, the iPhone X also offers nice improvements thanks to Face ID. For example, if someone is calling you and you look at the display, the ringtone will be muted immediately. Similarly, Face ID will tell the system that you are paying attention to the phone even when you are not touching the display and are just reading something - in this case, the display will never turn off. They are small improvements, they are few, but they are pleasing and hopefully in the future Apple will hurry with more.
So how to evaluate the iPhone X after 48 hours of use? So far great except for the small flies. But is it worth the money? This is a question that everyone should definitely answer for themselves. The iPhone X is a great phone and definitely has a lot to impress. If you enjoy technology and want to have a futuristic piece of technology in your hands every day, then the iPhone X will certainly not disappoint you.
plus for the black color, the white one managed to disgust me as it is everywhere.
I don't know about others, but it seems to me that the yellow color makes a true tone or am I mistaken? Because white looks much better after turning it off.
Yes it's right
Of course, we disabled True Tone. Night shift was not activated either. We compared the display with the iPhone 8 Plus, which we also have in the editorial office, and the white is noticeably different.
I also think that the display is a bit yellow, I tried turning off true tone and night shift :/
What do you think about the speed comparison of iPx and Samsung Note 8, see the video: https://youtu.be/sI1YELmjh9g
I am quite surprised with the speed of android. It looks like it's really starting to be competitive, especially in the everyday-use test, where it's even faster. I assume the iPx won't be as fast as the iP 8 for example due to the higher resolution.
Of course, you have to take into account that the Note 8 has more cores and the processor doesn't have that much to process either. The X is the flagship, but in the end it is the slowest model, because it has to constantly process data from the True Depth camera, it also has to be constantly ready for the call "hey Siri" (and others), which the Note 8 processor does not have to worry about :) I don't want to say that the Note 8 is worse, in my opinion it is a very good mobile both in terms of design and performance. Of course, we all know that with Android, if you really give it a hard time, problems with slowing down and freezing may appear over time, which is not the case with iOS.
While the Note 8 has to handle a larger display with a finer resolution, Android to OK Google, …etc……
That's just an urban story, how Android gets "stuck" and iOS doesn't. For those who desire is the father of thought. You can find a lot on the net about iOS "jamming". Personally, I have such a completely useless iPad Mini, but I hate it. It was replaced by a Note 8, so I don't use it anyway. In addition, the S Pen is simply the bomb.
My girlfriend paints all day and I have peace??
sad
My girlfriend is playing with me, not with the phone
you're shaking so much that you've got yourself tangled in your own shit
If I shake things up, I'm sure you won't have a problem disproving them. Unfortunately, your mental abilities do not allow it, otherwise you will surely do it with gusto. You're only embarrassing yourself this way.
Share what's going on at home with your "two centimeter" on one of your servers and don't come here. Yes, you don't have a proper one, so you keep using Czech in discussions???
Hello, I am thinking about buying and I would be interested in your opinion. Do you think the iphone x is much better than the iphone 8 plus? Regardless of the price. Thanks for every opinion, I will switch from iphone 6 plus
If it's not about price, I'd go for Xka. There is a much bigger jump and overall one has a better enjoyment of the new phone.
exactly no, I bought an Xko and the next day I went to buy an 8, so the 8 actually cost me 56 thousand :-), but I preferred it to the Xko. And I will give Xko to someone for Christmas.
I'm looking at your money to throw around
I had the 7 by Friday and was waiting for the Xko so I skipped the 8. I bought the X on Friday and was excited to bring it home. And on Saturday he went to buy 8 :-). Main reasons: 1) the phone is much heavier than the 7 or 8, I didn't have a good feeling or I was constantly afraid that I would fall. 2) is only slightly larger, maybe half a centimeter, but I couldn't reach up with my thumb to start the control center. 3) Face ID surprisingly worked without problems, but I don't understand its meaning or advantage. I find Touch ID more practical. I just didn't find the phone better from a user point of view. Probably great for technology enthusiasts, rather complicated for a normal user.
good summary, but personally I would make decisions about buying an 8-mic Xka after 14 days of use, not after 24 hours. People always have to get used to new technologies for a while, and either it works or it doesn't, but it has to be given time. Of course, it's individual and so, unfortunately, Xko is still at home, I wasn't able to catch the first wave, but I hope that I won't take his place for the eight after that.. :)
You're probably right, but it's about the fact that when I buy something, I should subjectively be convinced that it's a step forward. For someone who had a plus without problems, but for me who was used to a smaller and lighter phone, it's a problem. But it's all subjective, everyone has it differently.
I would go for the Xka, I switched from the 6S Plus and I can't complain, the speed is incredible (unfortunately I can't compare it to the 8), the size is nice, the weight pleased me, I don't mind heavy phones, on the contrary, at least I know about them, face id it's great, better than touch id, there I had problems with wet hands or very dry hands, I just pick it up like this and it unlocks immediately
I have it, and I can't complain. iPhone x….
Control very interesting, only the tit could be at the same time with the body ....
I like X a lot. I have only two reservations. Apple's OLED did not dazzle me in any way. The quality seems to me to be completely comparable to the LCD from previous models, I notice almost no difference. Which is quite surprising considering how expensive the X was to make. And the second thing, after three years of using the Plus models, I find the X very tiring. If an X Plus comes out next year, I'm going straight for it. Otherwise, I like the size of the display, I find gesture control more intuitive, FaceID faster and more reliable than TouchID, and the design is great (I had a 6 Plus and it was really ugly because of the rubber strips on the back). Overall I am very satisfied.
Hello. Please, where is it set that the iPhone goes silent when you look at it when it rings? even with reading? Thank you
I ALREADY FIND OUT. D
where?
can i have a stupid question, where do i put the fantastic background on the iX? (https://jablickar.cz/iphone-x-po-48-hodinach/img_0809/)
These are the new Live Wallpapers in iOS 11.2 (for now only for developers and public testers). ?
I have the feeling that the notifications and sound playback are more "tiny" than in the 6S version that I had before the X-com. It had lower heights and greater depth
Like I'm excited about him, but there was only one thing that stopped me. Why doesn't Apple allow sending animoji to phones other than the iPhoneX? This makes it an unusable thing. The way they presented it, they could have used it to get a new phone (by giving it to people who don't have an Xko), but since I can't send it to anyone, it will just be forgotten. I consider this to be the biggest fail that Apple made with Xke. Everything else is great.
That's not true, Animoji can be sent to all Apple phones, check if they have iMessage enabled :)
Can someone give me some advice, I have an iPhoneX and when someone calls me, they can't hear me well, but I can hear them well (signal full, phone charged). What should I do then? Thank you for answer. Milan
