Beautiful OLED screen; cameras are fantastic; Face ID works like a charm (usually

Gestures are sometimes quirky; physical button combos are too complicated; wireless charging is really slow; don't use your iPhone X without a case

comparatively heavy; storage cannot be expanded; only 12 months warranty; NFC functionality heavily limited; no stereo jack
