Everyone here at Santa mark is excited about the new iPhone 11, but we want you to put it to the test, so we decided to run a few real-world tests, comparing the optics of the XR and the 11 is the iPhone 11 camera a huge upgrade to the iPhone XR camera, but Before we jump in. Let's talk about the specs. The biggest difference is that the iPhone 11 comes with two 12 megapixel lenses, the 26 millimeter wide angle lens and a 13 millimeter ultra wide-angle lens, while the XR only comes with a single 12, megapixel 28 millimeters, wide angle lens, the new iPhone Elevens also come with a new processor. The new, a 13 Bionic chips boasts a faster and more efficient experience, because the 11s come with a more software heavy image processor. This could mean night and day between the difference of the two cameras we broke it down into five categories: dynamic range, sharpness and distortion, both, autofocus and low-light performance. Here's what we found first dynamic range from the very start.
We noticed that the two cameras produce different colors. The iPhone 11 on the right has a warmer field compared to the X on the left. The XR shadows are washed out due to the Sun, and the highlights of the horizon seem to lose the shape of the clouds when we zoom in 300% the colors that the iPhone 11 maintain is more obvious. The 11 handles both shadows and highlights better, as seen by the way it maintains colors in the shadows and keeps details in the skies on horizon next we tested for sharpness and Distortion. We wanted to see if there is a big difference of the wide-angle lenses of the X or an 11.
We found that both cameras actually produce similar quality sharpness from corner to corner. Both images are similar. It may seem like the 11 image is sharper, but when zoomed in we did not see much of a difference. As for distortion, we've noticed both wide-angle lenses have a slight distortion, but it's hardly noticeable. However, the new ultra-wide lens on the iPhone 11, while the distortion is pretty obvious for Coca, we use portrait mode on both cameras.
Again, we see a warmer and what seems to be a fuller image from the 11. The iPhone 11 also blurs more of the background of the subject compared to the XR, the logo, on the shirt on the MRS, barely blurred, while the 11 blurs everything, but the face, the edges of the face seemed to be more defined as well. The MRS image seemed to be more compressed, but we believe this is because of the 2 millimeter difference, making the XR a bit longer. Next autofocus. We recorded the screen of our phones to see if the autofocus system on the iPhone 11 has been improved.
As we expected, there isn't much of a difference. Both cameras focus quickly and accurately. However, we did notice that the XR correcting exposure and a more obvious transition compared to the iPhone 11. We think this is because of the new wave, the 13 chip processes photos, but this is a slight difference. Finally, low-light performance- the iPhone 11, has the clear advantage because of its night mode feature, we took an image of one of our lenses in the dark, with a tiny bit of light peeking through and the iPhone 11 was still able to take a great and visible photo.
Both phones still kept the details of each image, but the 11 takes the win for better exposure. We also took the phone out to the city and tested it in a fairly dark part. Although both images are great, the iPhone 11 exposes its image better by bringing in more light and details with less grain. There are definitely a few differences between both phones, but also a lot of similarities. The question is: should you upgrade your iPhone? If you have the XR, it really depends on if you want the ultra-wide camera, but we think the XR still a great phone and if anything you might want to skip the iPhone 11x s and X s.
