Apple iPhone XR vs iPhone XS Max - Which big new iPhone should you buy? By Pocket-lint

Hey guys came here from pocket-lint and at the launch, the iPhone 10 R was billed as the sort of every man's iPhone 10 being that it's cheaper than both the flagship, 10s and 10s max now, like the max, though it's big, and it features a lot of the same components and hardware. What's more, it has that big expansive screen on the front. So the question is: should you pay hundreds more to get the max or is the 10r just fine, let's dive in first up design, now before even going into specific specifications? The first thing I noticed when I picked up the 10 are having used. The tennis Max for a few weeks was how it felt chunkier place them side-by-side, and you'll see why the 10r is ever so slightly thicker than the 10s max, but it's also considerably shorter and more than 2 millimeters narrower. The other thing that makes a difference in hand is the anodized aluminum edges versus the polished steel on the 10s max, of course, that polished appearance does make it look much more premium than its matte finish. Smaller cousins, but the biggest differences appear when you turn the phone around.

The 10r, of course comes in the selection of colorful glass finishes and has a single camera, where the tennis max has the dual camera, with more subdued finishes that each have this metallic sheen to them. When you glance them at an angle in the right light. As for water and dust resistance, the ip68 tennis max can last up to 30 minutes in two meters of water, while the 10 R is ip67. So it's only certified for that amount of time in 1 meter of water. Now on to a slightly less prominent difference on the front.

The frame around the screen that bezel on the 10-hour display is slightly thicker than on the tennis max and because the display itself is roughly half an inch smaller diagonally, it's more obvious than it would be if they had the same size of screens, and that means the display itself doesn't seem quite as edge to edge as the 10 s Max's. But in truth, there's not a lot in it. It's still more immersive than the LCD screen on the 8 plus or previous plus-sized models. Now digging into those screens are little more. It's a 458 pixel per inch OLED on the 10s max versus a 326 pixels per inch LCD on the 10 R and the differences are as you'd expect.

Contrast is higher and blacks are darker on the OLED display on the tennis, while white sand lighter skin tones are slightly warmer than on the LCD. The extra resolution and contrast does make a difference. In most, interfaces to text appear slightly sharper and the overall content is more dynamic at arm's length and day to day, you might not notice it all that much but put them side-by-side, and it's immediately noticeable, especially when you're watching videos, because of the higher dynamic range movies on Netflix, for example, are more detailed in highlights are brighter, while details in shadows are better plus colors are richer, given that it supports both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision standards. That's understandable! They both support true tone to adapt the color profile to match the ambient lighting in your room, but only the 10 s max has 3d touch, meaning you don't get those shortcut actions on the app icons with the 10 are now on to performance and battery, and you'll experience. Much the same here on the 2 devices.

Both phones use the same a 12, Bionic processor, the 10 R does have less RAM, but in daily use you can't really tell the difference. Apps and data load just as quickly on both and even though most intensive games work just as well on the 10 R as they do on the 10 s. Max and although the battery capacity is slightly less on the 10 R it'll last just as long, we can comfortably get through an average working day on both phones with around 40% left over at night and since they both support, seven and a half. What wireless charging they pretty much fill up at the same speed, ? looking at the cameras, you'll get virtually identical results here as well, and that's because the single 12 megapixel f-stop 1.8 camera on the back is the same as the primary wider angle lens on the 10s max. You don't get the telephoto zoom, which might be a key missing feature for some.

But if you just want a camera that snaps great photos and shoots great video you'll do no worse with the cheaper 10 R, then on the 10s max. You might not be able to take portrait mode shots of inanimate objects of the 10 R, but apart from that, you're, not really missing anything. What's more the front facing camera and depth. Sensors on the front are exactly the same. ?, now on to pricing and storage and in the UK, the 10 R starts at seven hundred and forty-nine pounds with 64 gigs, 128 gigs and 256 gigabyte models available and the middle tier only costs 50 pounds more than the lowest in stark contrast that 10s max starts out of thousand and 99 pounds.

That's 350 more and comes in 64 256 and 512 gigabyte models with the middle tier costing a hefty 150 pounds more than the lowest model, so clearly, overall, there's some difference in design and display, but in all other aspects, you'll get much the same experience on both phones, whether you think the extra 350 to 450 pounds is worth. It depends on how much value you put on that classy premium design and the better screen. Personally, though, I think most people will be perfectly happy with the 10 off and having a few more pennies in the bank. I've been camera Mate cat button on all the important social media networks.
