Apple iPhone X review: The original iPhone has come to be regarded as one of those milestone products in Apple'...

Beautiful new design; Best-in-class display; Excellent cameras

The iPhone X was a huge gamble from Apple, yet one that really paid off six months into our testing. Losing the home button and altering the design was a dangerous move, but one that was sorely needed after years of similarity and the premium design, extra power, all-screen front mix together to...

Great screen; Premium; strong design; TrueDepth camera is powerful

The most expensive flagship phone around; Metal rim can scuff without case

Hands down the best phone Apple has launched so far. The software is intuitive and a breeze to adjust to from previous models. The camera is nothing short of amazing for a phone and the Face ID is as quick if not quicker than the finger print scanner on previous models.

The iPhone X comes with a number of quirks, but there's nothing you can't simply get used to and we're sure Apple will bring fixes and improvements to iron things out.

The iPhone X sets the stage for Apple's next decade, with a sharp new design and a future focus on augmented reality.

Updated design; Powerful processor; Excellent screen; First-of-its-kind augmented reality front camera; Animoji are really fun

Very expensive; Apps need to be reprogrammed to take advantage of display; Not the fastest modem

Nice phone but some animals you might like. Convenient in its simplicity like many of Apple's stuff. However, do not trickle with the knees that many seem to want to say and can sometimes experience themselves. Provides a good overall impression.

Big screen

Face recognition is poor in low light and sometimes in daylight, (I've tried resetting it several times) and you now have to click buttons on top of face recognition to install apps; Overall I've entered the password 65% of the time in low light.

Ten years ago, the best smartphone one could buy either ran a mobile version of Windows, came with a stylus, lacked any sort of app ecosystem, or had a physical keyboard that allowed you to hammer out emails for hours on end.

Impressive screen; Solid battery life; Face ID is amazing

Expensive; Portrait Mode is still finicky

By letting go of long-standing features such as a physical home button, Apple has brought its smartphone bang up to date. The X has the best screen of any iPhone, ever, and it looks the part too - even with that notch. FaceID works better than any other facial recognition system you’ll find on a phone right now (even if it’s not perfect), and the dual rear cameras take excellent photos - if not quite as natural or detailed as Google’s algorithm-assisted Pixel 2 XL. Beyond some cute face-tracking fun with emoji, though, the X doesn’t have many unique features you won’t also find on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Both get that fancy new A11 CPU and wireless charging, and neither forces you to relearn a load of gestures to get around iOS. They’re a hell of a lot cheaper, too. You’re paying a premium here for that bold new look, FaceID, and not much else. It’s not like that ever put anyone off buying an Apple product before, though, is it? If you want the best iPhone, you’re going to have to find the cash - the X has set the bar, and the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus just can’t jump high enough.

Gorgeous screen - even with the notch; Versatile camera takes great photos; Slick OS runs beautifully on powerful hardware;

Apps look odd without updates ; FaceID isn’t 100% accurate; Super expensive;

The iPhone X offers users a versatile, simple and powerful smartphone photography experience. Dual lenses give users zoom flexibility, the lighting effects present in Portrait mode are impressive, detail in video capture is excellent, and the beautiful display really makes photos and videos come to life on the device. Low light performance can be disappointing, though, and the new file formats aren't the friendliest for Windows users. Overall, the iPhone X is one of the most capable smartphone cameras on the market today.

General shooting in good light, photos of people, those looking for excellent video quality.;

Those who often take photos in very low light, power users who may want more flexibility than Apple's ecosystem and default apps allow;
