A Review Of The iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 lineup consists of an iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro max, which are the successors to the iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max, respectively. As expected, this new lineup comes with updated specs and features.

In this article, we are going to talk about the entry-level iPhone 11, which is available at $699. With other manufacturers launching more expensive phones in the market, it’s nice to see an iPhone with a smaller price tag, although it’s not that small for most of the phone users.

The iPhone 11 comes with the better camera setup, Night Mode, and Deep Fusion. That said, this phone, apart from the processing power boost, focuses heavily on giving better camera performance. Other updates related to the software and apps make the phone more optimized, but that’s not usually a focal point.

It may be worth mentioning here that the iPhone 11 is the same as iPhone 11 Pro by 85%. Both have the same, A13 Bionic, processor chipset, and most of the internal specs are also similar. If you want a telephoto lens, a different size option, or a better screen, you can consider purchasing an iPhone 11 Pro, which costs 30% more than the iPhone 11. That’s not to say that the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are not the great phones. Indeed, they are remarkable premium handsets, but if you think that you are better off without a telephoto lens and an OLED screen, the iPhone 11 is the best choice.

64GB internal storage

The 64GB internal storage might seem a bit meager, considering there is no Micro SD slot. However, this storage should be enough to store most of your files, including a bulk of high-resolution photos and a selected amount of videos. If you want a phone with enhanced storage, you are going to have to spend a total of $749 to get the 128GB model. If you wish to go a bit further than that, you can pay an additional amount of $849 for a 256GB model. 64GB of internal storage should be enough if you do not want to shoot a lot of videos.

Cameras

Apple has earned a reputation of being the best camera phone manufacturer lately thanks to its tradition of using the remarkable combo of the industry-best camera hardware and highly optimized software in its phones. The addition of a new ultra-wide lens on the rear gives the phone more versatility in terms of picturing taking options. This addition has increased the number of cameras in the iPhone 11 to two from its predecessor, the iPhone XR. Similarly, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro come with a triple-camera setup each, while their predecessors, the iPhone XS and XS Max, respectively, had a dual-camera system on both of them.

Other features of the iPhone 11 camera system include Night Mode for low-light photography and Deep Fusion for the indoor shots. A faster autofocus system, overall sharper photos, and more accurate colors make the iPhone 11 a mini DSLR.

The iPhone SE review: A Modern Phone With A Classic Shape

In terms of look, the iPhone SE is almost entirely similar to the iPhone 8, but it has got the power and brains of the iPhone 11. The overall design, camera, and body of the iPhone SE are pretty much the same as an iPhone 8. The processor, however, is the A13 Bionic, which is the same chipset used in the iPhone 11 lineup. Moreover, this phone comes with an upgraded camera and extended battery performance.

The best thing about this phone is its price. You can get it for $399, which is quite a low price for a phone that has internal specs those of flagship phones. There, undoubtedly, are some trade-offs, but this phone seems to provide more value for the dollars you spend.

The iPhone SE compared to iPhone 8, iPhone SE (2016), and iPhone 11

The iPhone SE’s design

From the perspective of looks, the iPhone SE is an iPhone 8. It has a glass cover on the front and back, and chassis and sides are made of aluminum. The only difference that you will notice is the Apple logo, which resides in the center of the backside of the iPhone SE.

The iPhone SE’s resemblance to the iPhone 8 also means that the modern phone comes with a classic screen with a thicker forehead and chin bezels. It is a rare practice by a smartphone company to revert to classics in an age of edge-to-edge phone screens that barely allow a notch to house the front camera. A thicker chin bezel means the homecoming of the traditional Home button.

The phone’s 4.7-inch LCD is not as smaller as other tiny phones, but it might look smaller because smartphone users have become more familiar with the edge-to-edge screens that tend to be bigger than the iPhone SE’s display.

This phone is durable enough thanks to its solid build and an IP67 rating. The iPhone SE comes with three color options: black, white, and red.

Extended battery life

Apple’s official website says that the iPhone SE’s comes with the same battery capacity as that of the iPhone 8, but reviews suggest that it can last much longer than that. According to a few individual test results, this phone’s battery lasts more than 15 hours and 30 seconds with consistent video playback at 50% brightness.

Processing performance

The iPhone SE benefits from the A13 Bionic chipset. It would be no surprise if you find this phone performing better than the iPhone 8. With the industry best processing running in its core, this phone launches apps quickly and promises smoother gameplay.

Camera

The camera hardware of the iPhone SE may be the same as that of the iPhone 8, but the A13 chipset and an updated iOS 13 transform this camera unit into something you are going to love. The smart HDR real-time processing improves the photo quality amazingly.
