But the ultra-wide sensor is smaller and it has a slower lens, so it takes far worse photos (especially in low light) than just backing up and using the main camera. They have excellent battery life, processors that should keep them relevant for years to come, absolutely beautiful displays, and a new camera system that generally outperforms every other phone, which should get even better with a promised software update later this fall.
There’s now an ultra-wide camera in addition to the standard and telephoto cameras on the back.And these new cameras have to compete. Samsung Galaxy S10+, bokeh simulation Achieving an overall DXOMARK Camera score of 109, the iPhone 11 is a very capable device for both stills and video. Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, crop, good detail but some noise In our very challenging high-contrast test scenes, target exposures are good, with acceptable dynamic range, and results are essentially the same as those for the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Some Apple has implemented an effective ultra wide-angle second camera on the flagship iPhone and the 13mm-equivalent focal length offers one of the widest fields of view that we’ve measured to date.
No. Samsung Galaxy S10+, crop, less detail but no noise In our benchmark autofocus analysis, the Apple iPhone 11 was both accurate and fast in low light (20 lux analysis chart).Apple iPhone 11, wide angle, accurate exposure and nice colorApple iPhone 11 Pro Max, wide angle, accurate exposure and nice colorSamsung Galaxy S10+, wide angle, lower exposure and less detail Apple iPhone 11, crop, low detail Apple really wants you to know there’s three cameras in the back, which is why each one is not only raised individually with metal bezels, but the mound that houses them is also raised, carved from the same single piece covering the entire back of the phone. Key features include a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD display, Apple’s latest A13 Bionic chipset, 64/128/256GB of internal storage options, and IP68 dust/water resistance.The main camera offers a dual sensor and lens setup, including a standard wide-angle 26mm-equivalent primary camera, with a second 13mm-equivalent ultra-wide-angle shooter. Reminders is a much better app. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max are way better looking in person, after you’ve held one in your hands, and used its weirdly aligned triple cameras (there is a …
It’s just a little faster than before, and it works from a slightly larger range of angles. Haptic Touch is just long-pressing with haptic feedback; it’s convincing, but it’s definitely long-pressing. That’s not how anyone really uses a phone, and Apple’s claims of improved battery life over the previous phone aren’t really based on those tests. It’s not enough to make me stop charging at my desk throughout the day, and I’ll definitely still carry a battery pack on trips. It simply doesn’t have the deep blacks of an OLED display, which means the new dark mode in iOS 13 doesn’t look as good as it does on the iPhone 11 Pro, and it’s definitely lower resolution than the Pro phones.The good news is that Apple makes great LCDs, and this LCD is great. I’d have rather seen a 3.5mm to Lightning headphone adapter in the box instead.The other meaningful update to the iPhone 11 from the iPhone XR is the camera, and I think it’s a massive step forward. In our backlit portrait test scene, the iPhone 11 is able to provide nice exposure on the subject while maintaining detail in the highlights outside. On photos like the one of the car, I was forced to either take a step back or use the main lens, when all I wanted to do was get up close and elongate the car for a unique look.
Look into your own heart and decide.Face ID is slightly improved from the iPhone XR, but it’s another thing you might not even notice. But all this adds up to a display you can easily view indoors and out, and dynamically adjusts to deliver the brightest highlights and inkiest blacks. That’s also true of the iPhone 11 Pro, which features a triple-camera system like every other flagship phone this year.
And if you really want to believe sound is coming from all around you while you watch Netflix in bed, who’s to say it’s not? 3D Touch was a great idea that never really panned out, and the iPhone is not really any worse for its removal. You can check out a much deeper camera comparison in our iPhone 11 Pro review as well — the camera systems are identical apart from the tele lens on the Pro.I started the iPhone 11 Pro review with an easy shot in bright sunlight, so let’s start this review with a torture test: here’s the iPhone 11 and Here’s another photo that the XR would fail to capture well.
You can also record regular selfie videos in up to 4K at 60 fps if that’s your thing — a first for the iPhone series.Speaking of slick videos, the iPhone 11 Pro certainly makes you feel like a film pro when you look at the videos you can film on this device. You don’t have to explain to people that they have to press down on the camera icon on the lock screen. CarPlay has a more useful interface. Instead, think of the ultra-wide as more of an artistic choice, something that can give you a different or more interesting look, but not necessarily a “better” photo.I was also extremely impressed with the iPhone 11’s video capabilities.
