The first thing that strikes you when you look at the phone is design. It is 5.8 inches beautiful OLED super retina screen. The whole glass body with stainless steel edges makes it look premium. It feels even better in hands.

iPhone X is far ahead of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus. The battery life of the iPhone X is pretty good. But heavy users might struggle to last more than 12 hours. For regular users, the battery can last a whole day. Cameras on the iPhone have been always superb. It is stunning, delivers rich still shots. But still not great RAW images as Google Pixel 2. Inside the phone lies the latest A11 Bionic processor along with a 3GB RAM. The RAM is small related to trending OnePlus smartphones.

Apple also replaced touch ID with Face Id feature. It is flawless and allows the user to unlock a smartphone with face recognition. Basically, it’s the refresh the iPhone needed. Apple has succeeded in creating an incredibly desirable package. It’s the best smartphone you can buy.
