The second day after the launch of iPhone X ... What are the main points and disadvantages seen overseas?



Apple's iPhone 10th anniversary and next-generation flagship smartphone 'iPhone X (TEN)' was launched on the 3rd of the US (local time) starting from the first launch country. Unlike the somewhat lukewarm 'iPhone 8', it is popular amongst customers such as standing in line to receive products a little earlier than a few days ago.

Outside of major IT outsourcing, I chose 'big screen' as the biggest advantage of the iPhone. The overall size of the iPhone X is slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus, but the 5.8-inch display is 0.3 inches larger.

And the upper and lower bezels (borders) that existed in the old iPhone are missing. The screen is bigger, but the overall size is smaller, which makes it easier than when you hold the iPhone 8 Plus in your hand.

The expected quality of the OLED display is generally excellent. Engadget and Slash Gear said that despite the fact that the iPhone X used OLED displays made by Samsung Display, it offered natural and comfortable colors rather than exaggerated colors like Samsung's smartphones.


However, it was criticized for the fact that the old 16: 9 ratio content was not displayed neatly because of the longer screen, and the notch protruding from the center of the top screen was built into the speaker, sensor and camera.

There are a number of opinions that should be kept in mind in case of burn-in, which was a concern due to the use of OLED display, in case of the problem of afterimage and marks remaining on the screen. Like the Google Pixel 2 XL, there are no signs of ghosting from scratch.

One of the key features of iPhone X, Face ID, was a positive response.

At first use, the recognition rate difference was large according to face condition, illumination (ambient brightness) and place (indoor or outdoor) and reaction rate was slow compared with 'touch ID' using a fingerprint. However, as you use it, the speed of recognition increases as the face recognition rate improves through AI learning, and as you become accustomed, you can use it more accurately, quickly and easily than the Touch ID.

In the case of design, the evaluation was divided for each medium. Engadget said that the design of the iPhone X is wonderful and beautiful at its highest level ever. The Buggy forecasts that the back camera, which still sticks out, and the scruffy border frame will cause a lot of shattering.

The camera and photo shooting performance is similar to the iPhone 8 series, which is almost the same configuration. Although the overall picture quality is stable, it still has some advantages and disadvantages compared to competitors' products.

Unlike the iPhone 8, which has not changed much in overseas media, iPhone X definitely showed some change.

However, it is a somewhat burdensome price, compatibility with existing applications, and lack of a fully optimized interface change due to the removal of the home button.
