The iPhone X will officially go on sale tomorrow, but a few selected reviewers around the world have been testing their piece for about two days. According to information from abroad, the reviewers received their test iPhones on Tuesday and Wednesday, but even so, during yesterday and today, several first impressions emerged, which express the testers' experience after several hours of use. Full reviews will start rolling out tomorrow and over the weekend, but let's take a quick look at what the first impressions are.

First of all, it is easy to introduce a short video behind the popular Marques Brownlee with his YouTube channel MKBHD. He made a short video in which both the unboxing and the first impressions of the Face ID settings, the operation of the phone, etc. appear. If you follow him on Twitter, for example, in recent days he has also been posting photos that were taken with the iPhone X. You can judge the content of the video yourself, the photos on Twitter look great too.

Other first impressions relate more to the traditional media, such as printed magazines or editorial offices of large foreign servers. In this case, Apple looked at the comments of a large number of these reviewers and selected the most positive comments, from which they put together a collage, which you can view below. It is clear that the majority of these are phrases taken out of context. But for the most part, they match what reviewers are saying about the new iPhone X.

The majority of reviewers are generally positive about the new product. Face ID works basically without a problem, its speed depends on the situation in which you want to use it. In some it is significantly faster than Touch ID, in others it lags behind. However, reviewers generally agree that it is a slightly faster and authorization solution. This difference will become even more apparent in the coming winter months, when you won't be hindered by gloves when operating your phone (or you don't have to adjust your choice of gloves according to their compatibility with touchscreens).

Of course, some criticism also appears, but in this case it is aimed more at Apple itself than at the new iPhone X. Many reviewers resent the way Apple has behaved this year regarding the distribution of review models. Most of the testers received them late and had only two days to write a review. Many mainstream reviewers also don't like the way Apple is favoring certain YouTube channels, whose owners were able to preview the new iPhone X as early as Wednesday and record first impressions about it. Anyway, it will be interesting to read how the news turns out in the finale. If it will really be a phone that will define the segment for the next ten years, or if it was just empty PR talk of high-ranking company managers.
