Apple's iPhone X will be officially on sale this week, last week's first bookings of children's shoes are always looking forward to Apple can be shipped earlier it, and waiting for the time we may wish to take a look at foreign media iPhone X hands-on evaluation, prepare the machine in advance to do it
CNET has been from Apple to get the iPhone X, editor Scott Stein said he has used this iPhone X 18 hours, which we are most concerned about some of the problems were experienced, such as Face ID is easy to use, whether safe , OLED full screen experience how, the top of the 'bangs' will be forced to obsessive-compulsive disorder patients.
Face ID is excellent
Stein is very good to describe the iPhone X's Face ID, still worried that the brush will unlock the oil can be very troublesome. From 2013 onwards Apple has been using Touch ID fingerprint is the iPhone as a biological certification, until the iPhone X was Face ID. Apple official said they have confidence in Face ID, think it will be the same as the Touch ID as a user to rely on.
Stein said, Face ID in the early demo of the performance is very good, it's set up soon, you only need to fold on the screen appears round face information collection area twist head can be set up.
It is worth noting that the unlock is not automatic. First iPhone need to identify the correct face, after the authentication will be in the mobile phone screen to be unlocked, then the top of the screen will appear a lock icon, that is, the user has to slide open What is the accuracy of the recognition? Recently, there are rumors that Apple in order to enhance the Face ID component capacity and reduce the specifications (Apple came forward to deny), is this true? Stein said that in most cases Face ID are Can accurately identify his face, occasionally there will be unrecognized situation.
What is the security aspect of Face ID? Stein will iPhone X to his five colleagues to unlock the test, the results of his colleagues can not brush face unlock iPhone, visible Face ID is indeed reliable. User Apple's words, Face ID is only one millionth the chance to be deceived.
It is worth mentioning that, Stein has made it clear that Face ID's identity, whether he brought sunglasses, or a long beard or wearing a scarf, Face ID can identify his face.When Stein with him , The Face ID rejects the unlock request because the photo does not have a depth value like a real face.
Does the light environment affect Face ID recognition? Stein says Face ID is still perfectly recognizable in his dark room because it uses infrared light. Also worth mentioning is that by default, Face ID requires The user watched the screen, but the user can also turn off the option to speed up the authentication process.
Of course, Face ID is not perfect, such as Stein draw these sets of makeup after Face ID will not allow him to unlock the phone, but show a person's face changes in life will not have such a big bar, such as suddenly grow a Dog nose
Finally, it is worth mentioning that, after repeated authentication failure, the user needs to use the password to unlock.
OLED display finally came, but ...
iPhone X is equipped with a 5.8-foot OLED display, it is clearly better than the LCD screen display, the contrast is higher, black and darker, but also more energy-efficient, not to mention Apple's TrueTone display technology to help show the results As the iPhone X for the full screen design, theoretically users can see more content, enjoy a more immersive experience.
But compared to the iPhone 8 Plus can see, iPhone X screen because of the longer, in full-screen playback up and down the black side is also larger, the final display of the screen but smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus. In addition, because the iPhone X screen for rounded design , Which means that even if the screen is flatten the entire screen, or there will be some screen is cut off.
In addition, it is well known that the top of the iPhone X screen has a 'gap' (Liu will be better to listen to some?), It is the iPhone X a variety of sensors gathered.When talking about this 'bangs', Stein said this part did not affect To him, because most of the application did not use this position, but the iPhone X status bar separated.
At present, many applications are not optimized for the iPhone X, they will run on the iPhone 8 as to fill the entire screen (such as the hand tour "witness" does not fit iPhone X), which means the iPhone X screen Space is not fully utilized. Apple is expected to follow the update API will allow more applications to adapt iPhone X.
There is no Home button after the need to adapt to time
Stein finally talked about, no Home button after the user needs to take some time to remember some gesture operation, the other call Siri way to long press the side button, double-click the button also play the role of activation Apple Pay. iPhone X on the use of physical keys to intercept the way from the power button + Home to adjust the power key + volume plus, turn off the long press the power button while holding down the volume under the key, so familiar with the sliding off, emergency SOS and other options Will appear.
Well, the iPhone X get started experience for everyone here, and follow-up, such as camera testing, performance testing and other content will be updated in the iPhone X before the hand, we may wish to maintain concern.
