iPhone 11 full review. Here i reviewed iPhone 11 in details about everything check them out.
Hey guys, this is Rohit. This is the iPhone 11, and if you're considering buying an iPhone, this is the one to get. So we have to start with the cameras. So this year, the iPhone 11 has a pair of cameras.
So, first of all, let us start with the main shooters. Well, I can immediately see there's a lot more
the dynamic range on the 11, especially when you look over the shoulder, there's a little bit
more detail on the road, whereas it's pretty much bricked on the XR.
Also, this looks sharp. Like that looks significantly sharper. If you look at the text above the red, like on the handle, I can barely read it, it says Camera front, but on the 11 that's pretty clear.
Something else I like here is that it seems to be a little bit more natural on the 11. So, even though the XS, as well as the XR, they had good cameras, sometimes they would be a little bit too over-aggressive with their HDR trying to pull a little bit more detail out even though the image didn't quite look natural.
Whereas on the 11, if there's a darker area, it doesn't mind sort of crushing it down a little bit to give you a more natural look. There's still a lot of detail, a lot of dynamic range.
That's pretty impressive. Something new this year on the main camera is that it has 100% focus pixels. So if I kinda move in and out, specifically if I get nice and close, it should do a pretty good job of keeping you in focus.
Now the other thing which is new here is, of course, that ultra-wide camera, so I'm recording video
with the standard shooter. However, if I press the ultra-wide button, it immediately jumps out to the ultra-wide perspective.
This is going to give you a little bit of a loss in quality, specifically in low light, but I mean that's cool, especially considering they've got that impressive video stabilization. I mean, this almost looks like I'm on a Gimbal or something.
So, this is what video looks like as I'm walking with the ultra-wide camera. Between that perspective as well as the super steady shot. Gotta say, this is actually pretty impressive, and if I want, I can jump right back into the main shooter.
And I've gotta say, they've done a pretty good job of keeping it consistent. There's no doubt that this year, one of the biggest upgrades to the iPhone 11is the definitely on the camera front. So, neither of them are perfect.
Both have a lot of issues with the camera and the screen. However, I prefer the look of the 11. It looks a little bit brighter, a little bit more saturated, especially in the background.
That portrait mode still actually does look pretty nice, though. Let's do a portrait selfie, shall we? So the front-facing camera has been fully redesigned for the iPhone 11.
So this is the standard shooter. However, if I press the button, it'll make it a little bit wider. Look, friends. I'm curious to see how the portrait looks, though.
What's my iPhone 11 portrait face like? You know what? It completely missed my glasses. My glasses are like cut off there.Yikes.That's not great lemme try another one. Yeah, that's better, didn't
lose the glasses there.
It does a pretty good job of cutting the hair out. There's a lot of detail on my face too.No smoothing going on.
Now we also have the selfie, which is, of course, a slow-motion selfie. Let me demonstrate. It does slow-motion front-facing video now. So, there's no doubt that the iPhone 11is a pretty big upgrade
on the camera front. However, when you compare it to the Pro, what you're losing here is a telephoto camera.
This has the ultra-wide and the wide but not that zoomed-in shot. Now a triple camera set up is certainly nothing new. LG, Huawei, and Samsung have all been shipping triple cameras for a little while now.
Now while it is nice to have a telephoto, honestly, the 2x zoom on the Pro, as well as something like on the Note 10, isn't that big of a deal. You do lose quality by going with the Telephoto. And while it is a little more zoomed in, often I find it's not that useful.
As far as I'm concerned, if I were going to pick two cameras, I would prefer that ultra-wide. That being said, the 11 Pro does have that other option that you're missing on the 11 but I mean, eh? Now, one of the major new features this year is a night mode for the iPhone 11.
So to test, we're here in the studio, which has been pretty much completely blacked out. There's a little bit of light over here from the window, as well as a tiny bit from the ceiling, but its pretty dark in here, as evidenced by if I turn off this phone screen, you can't see me anymore, can you? Oh, yeah.- Ready, and you know that looks impressive, so there's way more detail here. I mean, I can see
your eyebrow hairs.
That's pretty solid. So something interesting with the iPhone 11 is that we do have a little night-mode button, so I can change how long it's going to run. So this is with it off, and it'll go up to 3 seconds, or the max of 5, but I'm gonna leave it on the auto setting.
Alright, That's also very impressive. I mean, it looks like there's straight-up light in here. Take a look at what Matt looks like right now, and now take a look at what he looks like on the iPhone 11.
The Pixel looks to be a little bit smoother, but I think its mostly because they're sort of aggressively cleaning up that detail. I do think that the iPhone got the color balance a little bit right. On the Pixel, everything looks a bit blue.
That's pretty impressive. Although I will say your skin tones do look better on the Pixel, everything in the background looks very washed out.
And well, just like the iPhone XR, it is usable, it's fine, but it is certainly not as good as most other high-end phones on the market, especially that iPhone 11 Pro. Not only is it fairly low resolution, but it also lacks the excellent brightness and contrast of the OLED on the iPhone 11 Pro.
Now, last year, this was a slightly closer comparison, as the XR, even though it didn't have the higher resolution, it had was a slightly brighter panel with very very slightly better color accuracy compared to the XS.
But this year, it is no comparison. The 11 screen is fine, its usable, but it's not as good as that 11 Pro. Now, there are some other small differences, including that bezels are a little bit bigger on the iPhone 11.
But on the flip side, you have a wider array of colors available. So you have this, what do you call this? Like lavender, lilac? There's yellow; there's green, there's red, there's white, there's black. I like the colors, and I also really like the fact that it does only have the two cameras on the back.
It would be nice to have three cameras for practicality, but it's not ugly. This is much much better than the 11 Pro. I know I'm giving the Pro hard time, and I'm sure a month from now, I'll completely forget about it, but I can't unsee just how unsightly those weird triple cameras are.
And there are the other things, such as while it supports fast charging, it doesn't come with a fast charger in the box, which is annoying. A lot of this stuff isn't a big deal. I mean, am I ever going to
realize that my two meters of water resistance on the 11 aren't as good as our meters of diving on the 11 Pro?
iPhone11 battery life. No, I'm never gonna take it that deep, but I don't know why anyone else would. If you take a look at apple site, they probably proclaim that the iPhone 11 Pro is the first iPhone worthy of the Pro name.
Okay, so when you look at it in real life, this is a very straight forward upgrades compared to last year. So instead of selling the iPhone XR, they have the iPhone 11, the XS is turned into the iPhone 11 Pro, and the XS Max turned into the 11 Pro Max, because, yes, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is now a name that I have to say with my words.
While Pro Max isn't exactly a great name, I do think that the iPhone 11 is a much much cleaner branding play, compared to the iPhone XR of last year. So I think a lot of people sort of maybe.
They didn't write off the XR because it was a very big seller for them, but a lot of people assume that
this was the budget iPhone.Its the one that you didn't really wanna get. A few years ago there was the iPhone 5C, which was, straight up, a worse iPhone compared to the 5S of the day.
However, with the iPhone 11, they've made this, pretty much, the default option. If you're gonna buy a new iPhone, I want the 11, or do you want the Pro with that? Do you fry with that? Do you want super-size with that?
What if they called it the iPhone super-size? I talked in the past about why the iPhone XR was my favorite iPhone of last year. And there were a lot of reasons for that.
Not only was it $250 cheaper, but of course, it had the best battery life of any iPhone. It was so much better than the XS. However, when you look at the 11 this year, things have changed just a little bit.
When Apple announced that the iPhone 11 is cheaper than the iPhone XR, I was legitimately impressed. So now, when you look at the line-up, you have at $700, the iPhone 11, at 1000 dollars, you have the Pro and 1100 dollars for the Pro Max, but it is even a better deal for the XR as soon as you look at the storage.
Wait, I mean the 11. The 11, 11. So, all three phones this year come with 64 gig standards. However, the iPhone 11 has a $50 upgrade to go to 128 gigs of storage, which in my opinion, is the sweet spot.
If you wanna upgrade the storage on the Pro or the Pro Max, that's a full $150 to go to up to 256, which I think is probably overkill for a lot of people. So, if you want some kind of mid-range storage, the value proposition looks even better for the iPhone 11.
One thing that's the same between the iPhone 11 and Pro are the specs. As inside, they share the
same Apple A13 Bionic chip. Now, the A12 of last year is already the fastest chip on a phone.
And this promises about 20% more performance. So that's good. It's easy to kind of make fun of if it's a little bit faster here, a little bit faster there, but the Apple chip making the team deserves some major, major props.
This thing is ridiculously powerful. Now, there are two ways of looking at this. On the one hand, it is a nice thing that both the lower-end iPhone 11, as well as the higher-end Pro, have the same spec.
Compared to last year, whereas the iPhone XR had a little bit less RAM, they also shared the same 4GB.
The other side which I do think is important to consider is that as an Apple-designed chip, they've actually made some pretty significant gains in efficiency, so this should be around 30% better than last year.
Again, directly relating to some of that better battery life than we're seeing on all three of the new iPhones. Having a bigger cell inside is important, but having a more power-efficient processor that is more powerful and less power-using? Is power inefficient? It is a faster chip that needs less power to run.
They've done this by employing buzzwords, such as machine-learning. Okay, so hear me out here. The machine-learning algorithms they're using in that specific part of the Apple A13 chip are very powerful.
And what they use it for is turning off different parts of the A13 Bionic vs Kirin 990, that isn't being used. Now, generally speaking, there's some kind of level of fitness where you can turn off a core, or you've idled down something, you can do some stuff traditionally.
However, almost every potion of this A13 chip can is completely idled off, which means that you're
not losing battery life just sitting around doing nothing. It is a very, very clever thing that they're doing here.
Now, I think all this plays into a much grander vision of how the iPhone can continue to stay relevant. Even at $700, while this is cheaper than the Pro, it is certainly not anywhere near the excellent budget options, which could be several hundred dollars cheaper.
On the one hand, you have people who have older iPhones, which honestly are still totally fine and not needing an upgrade, and on the other, you have people who are brand new to buying a new smartphone, and they don't mind switching over to Android.
And I think, to be able to convince both of those groups, you gotta have the whole package, right? And that why you see such an emphasis on the camera adding the wide-angle, adding these different options.
That's why you see such an emphasis on the performance, the battery life. I mean, at this point, if you're selling an expensive phone, you need to deliver on all aspects. iPhone 11 reviews India.
It's no longer good enough to have a 90% phone, but let's go on this or that. I mean, there are so many excellent phones which are available for three, four, five hundred dollars that the world has changed
in a major, major way. And when you got that iPhone 6S, which is still putting in work all these years later, I'm not surprised that Apples getting a little bit nervous.
And they're stepping up the game here.
That's all guys for iPhone review
I hope that I cleared all your questions
Thanks for Reading. Cheers.

iPhone 11 Display
That's pretty close. Regardless though, this is super impressive considering just how dark it is in here, If I'm going to point out the biggest weakness of the iPhone 11, it is going to be the display. So, just like with the iPhone XR, were looking at a 6.1 IPS panel.And well, just like the iPhone XR, it is usable, it's fine, but it is certainly not as good as most other high-end phones on the market, especially that iPhone 11 Pro. Not only is it fairly low resolution, but it also lacks the excellent brightness and contrast of the OLED on the iPhone 11 Pro.

iPhone 11 Specifications
This looks so much cleaner. Now, there are a couple of other downgrades with the 11, but most of them are fairly minor, so it does only support 2x2 LTE as opposed to 4x4, so speeds will be a little bit slower. It is made out of aluminum instead of stainless, which feels not quite so premium.And there are the other things, such as while it supports fast charging, it doesn't come with a fast charger in the box, which is annoying. A lot of this stuff isn't a big deal. I mean, am I ever going to
realize that my two meters of water resistance on the 11 aren't as good as our meters of diving on the 11 Pro?
