Cool new features of Iphone X

IPhone x comes with various cool features and I have listed 5 of the coolest features, check them out.

The edge-to-edge OLED screen is gorgeous

The most obvious standout feature of the iPhone X is the OLED screen, which is the best ever seen on an Iphone. The edge-to-edge display is copied from past Android devices like Samsung galaxy S8, LG G6, Mi Mix etc,. But the lack of originality hasn’t stopped Apple from manufacturing a beautiful piece of hardware.

There are some weird quirks to contend with, like the controversial rectangular “notch” cut-out at the top of the screen, where Apple has stored camera and sensor parts to perform tasks like Face ID and Animoji recordings. But Apple’s proprietary advantages include the coloration and brightness-adjusting True Tone display tech and a new Super Retina moniker that means the iPhone X sports a 2436 x 1125 resolution at 458 ppi across 5.8 inches of real estate. It’s also Apple’s first smartphone to come HDR-ready. All this adds up to an impressive display that is clearly the top differentiator between the iPhone X and the iPhone 8.

The front-facing camera is the best ever on an IPhone

Hidden in the notch cutout at the top of the iPhone X is a significant number of new camera parts and sensors that do more than just transpose your face onto an emoji cat or scan it to unlock your phone. The front-facing camera module now contains an infrared camera, flood illuminator, proximity scanner, ambient light sensor, speaker, microphone, 7-megapixel camera, and dot projector. All of that together combines into what Apple calls its TrueDepth camera, used for Animoji, Face ID, and a number of cool camera tricks.

TrueDepth is what makes the iPhone X’s front-facing camera capable of performing the aperture-reduction trick in its Portrait mode, a feature just a year ago restricted to the back camera of only the iPhone 7 Plus. It also makes the front-facing camera capable of Apple’s new Portrait Mode effects, which lets you replicate more professional flash lighting.

Face ID

Apple’s Face ID, the official name for its face scanner technology, works by spraying an object with infrared dots and stitching the patterns into a detailed 3D image of your face to determine whether you are the owner of the smartphone before unlocking it. Face ID continues to update this map of your face with more information every time you unlock your smartphone — whether you are wearing a scarf or a hat or growing facial hair. In addition, Face ID can authorize mobile payments, log in to apps and create animated emojis that mimic your face movements.

Iphone x dual lens rear Camera

The iPhone X camera sensors are also larger and faster, capturing what Apple calls "deep pixels" with either an f/1.8 aperture (wide-angle) or improved f/2.4 aperture (telephoto) lens. It also uses its new A11 Bionic chip and machine learning to optimize for scenes even before an image is taken.

Last year's Portrait Mode gave us bokeh-rich (background-blur-added) portrait photos. This year, Apple is introducing Portrait Lighting. It can transform the light in a scene, going as far as changing a background, or apply lightning to a person’s face, as if they were being hit by lights in a studio. IPhone X video recording in 4K has improved to the best on any phone with 4K at 60 FPS, but capturing a slow-motion has. It can now record 240 frames per second in 1080p. The compromise of capturing slow-motion video at a lower resolution is gone.

Animoji

Animoji has Apple taking emoji to the next level, utilizing its TrueDepth camera to mirror your facial expressions on animals or... other creations, yes, like the poo emoji. A dozen of these animated emojis will be available in Apple's Messages app, and the camera will be able to bring them to life by tracking 50 of your facial muscle movements. The iMessages app is already exploding with fun stickers and special effects and we didn't think we'd be using a year ago. The same is being said of Animoji. If they seems a bit meaningless and silly now, check back with us in a year.

Iphone 8, should you upgrade from iphone 7???

It's not easy buying an iPhone these days they seem to be getting expensive with every passing year with hardly anything innovative worth paying the additional cost. If you already have an iPhone 7, you absolutely should not buy an iPhone 8.

The issue comes down to exactly what you get when you buy an iPhone 8. The phone is practically identical to the iPhone 7 from last year, with some minor upgrades. They will certainly give you marginal increase in performance, but is it worth the price that you have to shell out?

Let's start with the processor: The iPhone 8 comes with the new A11 bionic processor, the fastest Apple has ever created. It's a six-core CPU that, according to Apple, includes two performance cores and four high-efficiency cores.
 

 

Apple claims the performance cores operate about 25 percent faster than the previous iteration and the high-efficiency cores operate about 70 percent faster than the previous generation.

But here's the thing: When is the last time your iPhone 7 actually lagged or couldn't complete a task because the processor was too slow? It's probably never happened to you because the iPhone 7 is a perfectly capable phone that can run Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Asphalt 8 and other apps with ease. Do remember the iphone 7 is a beast when you play games as no other phones not even the insane amount of RAM(8GB) in Oneplus 5 can outperform in game loading or video rendering in the iphone 7. Although transitions is much quicker in oneplus 5 thanks to its oxygen OS.

You could also make a point about the brand-new cameras. IPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are equipped with new image sensors which in theory, should give you much better photos at the end of the day.

When's the last time you looked at a photo taken on an iPhone 7 and thought to yourself that it wasn't quite good enough? Are you hanging your photos in a museum, and if so, shouldn't you be snapping photos with something other than a phone anyway?

Ultimately, it boils down to two very insignificant upgrades. Sure, you get an improved new processor and better camera, but these things are simply not worth the $700 starting price of the iPhone 8. They're iterative upgrades which are certainly welcome additions for most users — but not worth buying if you're upgrading from last year's model.

 

If you have the iPhone 7, your best bet is to step up to the outrageously priced iPhone X, or simply wait until next year. I'll be holding off on any new phone purchases for now because I just can’t justify the insane price of the iPhone X.
