Best Smartphone for College Students? iPhone XS Max Review By Nicolas Chae

Greetings and salutations friends, it's a boy named Sheikh, coming back with another video. Today we are reviewing the iPhone X s max I got this a couple of months ago: I got it over Christmas in December, so it's been a couple of months since I've had the phone and been able to play around with this, so I thought. I'd share my impression with you guys now before this video begins guys make sure to hit me on the gram. It's at Nicolas Chase I've been posting a ton of new content over there. Now right off the bat. There are a few things you need to know about the iPhone excess max.

Obviously this is a little bigger version than the X s version that they offer. For me, I was coming from the iPhone 7 plus, which had the same dimensions as the iPhone XS max, but the screen size was a lot smaller because we don't have this OLED display, meaning that you just get a lot more real estate that you're actually able to see your content on your phone. For me, making the switch from the 7 plus to the XS Mac series was honestly a great investment because, as a photographer and videographer and someone who uses my phone to show clients, potential pictures or videos and always using my phone as a second monitor, it's great to have this much real estate. Where you can just blow up a picture, you can show videos, and it looks spotless. Obviously, there are a few improvements for the XS max compared to the X, far series or the regular iPhone 10.

Absolutely, the camera is a little better. The portrait mode honestly works very well, which I'll get into a little more detail later. It's before getting the phone I was debating getting the XR, which is a lot cheaper and could save me a couple of hundred dollars, but the more I thought about it. The more I really loved the OLED display that the XS max has because it's just sharper image quality. You get better colors.

You usually get more dynamic range in your screen and for someone who is looking at your phone every single day and if it's something I use consistently for me to do my work, then, having the best option available to me was 100% worth the investment now I opted for the champagne gold version. Honestly I think this colorway is the most beautiful out of all three of them. It just it's very minimalistic and a very beautiful honestly, because it's not just pure gold, and it's not silver or black, and it set like rolls gold, champagne, gold and, and honestly most days, I probably go without putting a case on it. Just because I enjoy the feel of having a naked, iPhone, and I'm. Pretty careful with my equipments now jumping into the specifics of the phone honestly, there isn't too much.

That's crazy new about this or mind. Blowing you've probably already seen a bunch of different reviews. If you are on the market for a new phone, my personal takeaway and my perspective as a college student of using this phone, is it Abby's everything I need to do it's fast. Its reliable battery lasts me all day. I can use the camera to take photos and take videos.

If I don't have my proper camera with me. So honestly, I have no complaints about this phone. The only downside is I wish. There were a few more upgrades compared to the iPhone 10. It actually justifies a few hundred dollar upgrade because it all ought to see the 64 gig version of the XS max is about eleven hundred dollars and to pay over a thousand dollars for a smartphone is kind of ridiculous.

These days, I, don't necessarily think it's justified to be at that price tag, but Apple is Apple and there's nothing. We can do to personally fix that, but compared to the other options available, I always lean towards Apple, just because my entire ecosystem is Apple friendly I have a Mac I, have an Apple Watch. I have an iPad and for me to have an iPhone and use features that are consistent throughout the entire ecosystem. Is super helpful. It allows me to just be way more productive because because I don't have to be switching from Android to Windows, to Mac and just have different competing pieces of software.

So having airdrop is a huge thing. I just got an Apple TV so being able to airplay from my phone or my computer to my TV is a huge feature as well iMessage. Obviously now we have grouped FaceTime and personally for me: I just enjoy the aesthetics of the Apple ecosystem, a lot better, it's more minimal, it's more user-friendly and something that I've just been accustomed to over the past few years. So as a photographer, one of the biggest differences is this camera and for me personally, I'm not a huge mobile photographer, just because I always like to bring my own cameras, but when there are situations where I can't be bringing out a huge DSLR rig, my phone does a great job. It's able to do flash.

It's able to do. You know just great lifestyle. Pictures just live at the moment with your friends and whatnot port remote is honestly pretty great, so I actually went and tested out my iPhone against my Sony a7r 3, with the size, 55 millimeter 1.8 lens that entire camera setup was $5000 compared to this $1000 setup. So for the price tag that entails and the quality that we got out of the pictures. Honestly, it was really hard to tell I'll post the pictures up right now and seeing them side by side.

You can see a little of distinction, but for that price tech, jump of five thousand dollars to a thousand dollars, it's very minimal and unless you're doing professional-looking shoots portrait mode on your iPhone can 100% do the job now, I've done it. What's on my iPhone video, if you guys are interested, make sure to leave a comment down below and I can make a new one for you guys now, as beautiful as the glass casings are on the new iPhones, they are still very fragile, meaning that if you drop them, if they subside of your pocket, and it hits, you could be in some serious trouble, because if you don't have Apple Pay, having a crack screen can cost you upwards of hundreds of dollars, especially on the new iPhone, which is why I recommend, having a case from our sponsor Rhino shield. Now I've been rocking this case from Rhino shield over the past few days and honestly, it saved my phone so many times when I pass it to a friend, and they just happen to drop it, and it hits the ground and having this case on knowing that it's well protected, and it's not going to crack just saves me so much anxiety and allows me to use my phone to its fullest potential. Now they sent over a few different products for me to try out, and they have a bunch of different series depending on what your style is and what you are looking for to get out of the case. Now this is the modular annex case, meaning that you're able to switch out the back designs and really make it versatile and make your phone the way you truly want it to need.

These are their solid suitcases, meaning this is the wood finish, and this is the carbon fiber finish. These feel really great to touch and once again protect your phone so well, on top of that, they actually have add-on lenses that you can screw on to the case itself and really make your phone lens into a much more versatile camera. So let me show you guys real quick, so all you have to do is insert the lens adapter. You put your phone back in the case, and then you just twist the lens back on now using the native camera limits the types of photos that you're able to do, because it only gives you one focal length, but this essentially turns your camera into a wide-angle lens and gives you the versatility of a macro lens. The wide-angle lens is great for landscape or architecture.

Photography where you just need a little more real estate in your photos and having a wider focal length, will just give you much more versatility now. The really cool thing about this is that they're, actually two-in-one lenses, meaning that you just unscrew the wide-angle part, and then you're left with a macro lens. Now, if you don't know what a macro lens is, it basically allows you to get very up close and personal with you know, plants or detail shots or product photography, and it just gives you a much different perspective than you were able to get out of your native camera that just really changes the way that you can take photos, especially with mobile photography. If a bunch of different lenses screen protectors and their cases are so customizable now they offer cases for Apple, Samsung and so many more devices. So if you don't have a case on your phone make sure to go hit the link in my description and use my code Nicholas for 10% off overall I've, been very satisfied with my purchase of the iPhone XS max wow, that's a mouthful to say, but there have been very few complaints.

I think the battery life works very well. There aren't any problems with storage so far, and overall quality is on par with any other Apple product, as you would expect, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on any of the new Samsung phones or the Huawei phones or the Google Pixel. So as far as camera quality and other specifics I, don't necessarily think that Apple has the best part phone camera on the market right now, but for the things that I needed to do and as a college student just going from day to day it does, everything is need to do perfectly that about wraps it up for this review.
