The cheap version of iPhone X is just around the corner. Is iPhone X worth buying?

Although the release of the new generation of iPhone is still about two months, the details of the new machine have been exposed by many platforms.

This year, Apple is expected to launch three new iPhones: iPhone X upgrade with 5.8-inch OLED display, iPhone X oversized with 6.5-inch OLED display, these two models should be equipped with 7nm process A12. processor.

This time, the iPhone should finally launch the dual-card version of the model that everyone is obsessed with. Although it is not known which two types of cards are supported, the actual hammer 'second SIM status' and 'second SIM tray status ' (The second SIM card and the second SIM card slot) is indeed a burst point.

The most anticipated is the iPhone X. The cheap version of the LCD panel uses the A11 processor + 4GB of running memory. For cost control, the rear camera is only a single shot. In addition, there are many people. The color scheme is available for selection. I can’t help but think of it.

Many people who buy new and don't buy old ones have already prepared their wallets for the new machine. Coupled with the price of exposure and the appeal of several useful features, the old version of iPhone X seems to be somewhat uncompetitive, so it is really like this. ?

Today, I will talk to you about the experience of using iPhone X for nearly a year. This product that makes domestic mobile phones competing to imitate has something to stop.

When the new product was released, the author's 6p was just honored to retire. I decided to start the iPhone X with Yan Control. I wouldn't say Liu Haiping, the appearance of the iPhone X black screen can be described as stunning.

The deep space gray perfectly interprets the integration of the outer casing and the screen. The body screen and the back are all-glass design, and the side is surrounded by a stainless steel frame. The hand grip is perfect. The silver is not so high, but the whole machine looks fresh and lively. .

However, the good-looking skin is always difficult to retain. The side stainless steel frame uses the 'physical vapor deposition' process. Although the overall color is ensured to be accurate and consistent, it is easy to appear 'paint off' during use, slight bumping and scratching. Will make the border appear scratches. Users who like bare metal must refer to it.

At the same time, the glass body must not be very resistant to falling. Even though the iPhone X is working hard to use the most durable glass material, the reinforcement layer is 50% thicker than before. But the glass is still glass, and the thick glass is the same. So no matter which mobile phone you choose, as long as you are hooked on the glass body, you must cherish it.

I finally talked about Liu Haiping, who was spit out of countless fruit powders. Although I personally feel that the existence of Liu Hai will hardly affect the experience (may be related to usage habits), and the space utilization of the 'ear' part is very high, the viewing experience of the big screen is excellent. However, it is recommended that users who pursue the ultimate beauty should be carefully selected. After all, Liu Hai does destroy the integrity of the screen and affects the sensory experience to some extent.

However, the most unobtrusive thing for me is the display of the iPhone X. The OLED's shaped full-screen design is really beautiful (temporarily overlooking the small bangs), compared to the retina HD display, the contrast of the OLED screen is as high as 1000000: 1, and Using a wide color gamut (P3) display, almost the original color display, the screen quality is excellent.

Every time I look at the phone, it is a kind of visual enjoyment. Especially when the photo is toned, the color of the iPhone X screen is very 'positive', and the naked eye can hardly recognize the color difference, which provides a great guarantee for the quality of the photo.

Evaluating the experience of using a mobile phone depends mainly on daily human-computer interaction. The disappearance of the Home button makes the gesture operation become the first problem for users who purchase iPhone X. The specific operation changes can be found in the manual. The two shortcut gestures that are most frequently touched in daily operations are mentioned here: 'light contact bright screen' and 'slide the bottom white bar back to the main screen'.

Light touch screen

Slide back to the home screen

Many users have reported that they will touch the screen to wake up, or accidentally slip back to the home screen during other operations. This can be regarded as a pain point for iPhone X. Touch wake-up can be turned off in the settings, but slide back The main interface is the operation that must be adapted to remove the Home button. After all, the operation load caused by the button reduction will eventually shift to the screen more or less. The gesture operation or the only solution after removing the button operation.

It is worth mentioning that the iPhone X portrait mode has increased the portrait light effect mode. The official claim is that it can take portrait photos with 'studio level light effect'. But in practical applications, most of the time we use studio lighting and Contour light can only play a certain role in the face fill light. In the environment with poor light, even the phenomenon of fill light and hardening will appear, the picture will be very uncoordinated. But compared with the original shot before the iPhone, The increase in light efficiency is also considered a conscience 'special effect'.

Face ID should be the top priority of the iPhone X upgrade. This change has broken the increasingly mature fingerprint unlocking function, which has caused many people to question the actual application of Face ID. Through security and ease of unlocking We can see that under most scenarios, Face ID has significantly improved security when you turn on the option 'Require to watch to enable face ID'. For simple examples, someone might use your fingerprint to solve when you are asleep. Turn on the phone, but the face must be unlocked to open.

Secondly, the face unlocking speed is very fast, and it can still be unlocked in the dark environment. The cinema is locked with 3d eyes without pressure. The only drawback is that if the face is blocked by a large area, the unlock may fail.

Face ID unlock

The above mentioned are basically the original function configuration when the iPhone X debuted. Although after a year, the glass body, Face ID, bangs screen, etc. all began to become the standard of some flagship machines, but in practice or More or less there will be technical gaps, so I personally feel that the iPhone X can still support the title of the top machine.

As for the value is not worth buying, it is necessary to mention the price issue that we are most concerned about. The new product deduction will inevitably be accompanied by the moderate price reduction of the old model, but considering the manufacturing process of the iPhone X and the cost of various black technologies, The forecast price decline will not be too large, but compared to the initial price of nearly 10,000 yuan, the price cut will definitely refresh the iPhone X's price/performance ratio. And the iPhone X is the most valuable mobile phone, until today. The minimum price of the Bank of China 256G is also as high as 7765. Compared with the 25% reduction of the iPhone 8 Plus, the iPhone X can maintain 20%, which is a very good result.

At present, the lowest price of iPhone X on the e-commerce platform is around 6667 (64G), while the price of Jiucheng New Bank 64G in the second-hand trading market is still around 5999, and the price is very firm.

The comprehensive screen adaptation problem that everyone worried about before has been solved relatively well in the past year. The apps we use are basically adapted to the iPhone X's Liu Haiping, so buy new and old in this area. The same, because the new iPhone Liu Haiping is still standard.

As for the prediction of the new machine, the design may be similar to the old version, and the A11 processor will continue to be used. However, the post may be reduced to single shot, and the internal process will be simplified from the PCB stacking process to the single layer process. And cancel 3D Touch. Overall, performance is slightly lower than iPhone X in many ways.

So if you want to enter a top-of-the-line model, the cheap version of the iPhone X is released, the price is not as impressive as expected, then some of the above can be referred to, the recommended model is iPhone X deep gray, 256G, after all, big It’s still worthwhile to start with a memory for at least three years.

And if you don't have much demand for the price/performance ratio, just want the latest and coolest mobile phone, then wait patiently for the release of the new iPhone X series, look forward to it!
