Apple Iphone X

Apple iPhone X in Kenya

The Apple iPhone X price in Kenya starts at Ksh 26,000. It comes with a 5.8-inch display, 3GB RAM, 64GB/256GB storage, and a Dual 12MP Camera. So, it all comes down to this, the all-new iPhone X. Apple saw it wise to dump or ditch or leave the routine numeric naming of their flagship iPhone smartphones and embrace the Roman numbering system with the Apple iPhone X. X is 10 (ten) for them who may not be well accustomed with the Roman Numbering System.

Okay back to it now, this is a review of the Apple iPhone X, the immediate successor of the Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus which are very solid smartphones as well, with the best platform performance, super impressive camera, and a whole lot of other good stuff. Be sure to check them out at YES Gadgets Ke together with many other smartphones available for the same in Kenya today. Below is a list of the main features of the 2017 Apple iPhone X.

Design and build

Now now, how do I begin? Ever heard the saying, ‘routine is boring?’ I bet you have. This is what Apple came to understand when designing the Apple iPhone X. it doesn’t look like any other iPhone you have seen from previous years. In fact, it has some new additions and enhancements all around everywhere. For example, the physical home button on the bottom bezel is now a thing of the past. Yes! And speaking of bezels, the Apple iPhone X is a bezel-less smartphone.

The display on this smartphone covers almost the whole screen. Allowing only room for the call speaker and selfie camera on the top bezel. A fingerprint scanner on the display or on the Apple logo on the back of the phone is very much likely to be what we will have on the Apple iPhone X. On the back, we see a vertically placed dual-camera setup with the flash separating them. We will talk about these cameras in a moment.

There is Apple’s logo and iPhone X branding on the back as well. Its back panel is all glass to allow for wireless charging and also just to give it that premium looks it comes with. Then it has these dimensions 144mm x71mm and is 7.7mm thick. It weighs about 174 grams. The design of the iPhone X is beautiful with top-notch craftsmanship and it has a solid and great build. This is one phone everyone will love its looks.

Display and camera

Display

A 5.8 inches display. That automatically makes the Apple iPhone X a phablet device. It has an 83% screen-to-body ratio and comes with an unbelievable 1125 x 2436 pixels (458 PPI pixel density) resolution. Is this not a 4K display? And have I mentioned it is a Super AMOLED capacitive display? There isn’t any smartphone in the market today (2017) with a display that beats that on the iPhone X. To top it up, it is a scratch-resistant display since it has scratch-resistant glass protection and supports a 3D touch display with a wide gamut and true tone display.

iPhone X camera

Once again we see a dual-camera setup on an Apple iPhone. The first time was with the Apple iPhone 7 Plus. It did work out well and here, with the iPhone X, it can only get better. It comes with a dual 12MP camera with phase detection, autofocus, Optical Image stabilization, 2x optical zoom, and a quad-core LED flash. The front-facing camera is a 7MP shooter with face detection, HDR, and panorama. It can record videos of quality up to 1080p@30fps.

Video recording stands at 2160p@24/30/60 fps and 1080p@30/60/120/240fps. The camera has these features geo-tagging, simultaneous 4K video recording, and touch focus, face/smile detection, HDR (photo/panorama). Here is how I can wrap up the camera performance on the Apple iPhone X in four words > SUPER IMPRESSIVE, EXTRAORDINARY.

Performance and memory

It comes with the latest iOS 11, an Apple A11 Bionic chipset, and a Hexa core CPU. Memory is either 64 GB or 256 GB and both run n 3GB RAM. It is as snappy as you would expect, as smooth as it can get and you get the best user experience with the Apple iPhone X as well.

Battery

Its non-removable battery will last you a whole day of usage. The Apple iPhone X supports fast battery charging> you go from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes of charging. It does support wireless charging as well.

Sound

It supports vibrations and proprietary ringtones, has a loudspeaker with stereo speakers, doesn’t have the 3.5mm jack, supports active noise cancellation, and has a lightning 3.5mm headphone jack adapter.

Communication and network

WLAN (Wi-Fi, dual-band, hotspot), Bluetooth 5.0, GPS (with A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO), NFC (Apple Pay only), and 3.0 reversible connector. Network: GSM, CDMA, HSPA, and EVDO. You get to choose between a space grey and a silver Apple iPhone X. This is one phone that has come way ahead of its time. It has the best camera performance, platform performance, and user experience.
