iPhone 11 Review By MobileTechReview

This is Lisa from mobile tech review, and it's iPhone time again this time the iPhone 11 the 11 not pro model, obviously because we have this zingy product red color here, and it's available in your choice of six colors, and honestly they're really exciting and neat colors I think us more expensive, iPhone buyers, always kind of feel a little letdown that we don't get a choice. Well in these nude colors, the two new colors. This here are sea foam green kind of VA like a 50s, Telecaster and purple so inside here. For these supposedly not pro model, we still have the Apple eight thirteen Bionic CPU and four gigs of RAM. It is every bit as fast as the more expensive Pro models, but you're paying $300 less. It starts at $6.99 for the 64 Gig model. Each storage increment adds $50 at the cost, so you can get 128 gigs, or you can drop, that's going to and 56 gigs and that would be $100 more total.

So that's pretty good amount of storage for anything again, supposedly not pro model we're gonna, look at it now and, as ever, Apple does do a perfect job with their Bionic CPUs for iPhone. So the 8:13, both on the pro and on the 11 same benchmark results, does really well against the flagship. Snapdragon 855 we're talking almost twice as fast on a single core performance on Geek bench v, for example, and the multi-core performance is faster too. So, considering that you're not paying as much as the Samsung Galaxy s, 10 would cost, or something like that. It's a nice perk to have a fast phone.

What it really means, though, is that your phone will be useful for more years going down the road for those who were hold on to your phones. You won't be saying in a year from that, oh man, my phone is slow. I need a new one. So just like the pro models you get face, ID facial recognition scanning here, no fingerprint scanner. You have still a lightning connector on board.

You have wireless charging QI wireless charging on the back. Furthermore, you have fast charging support, but you don't get the 18 watt fast charger in the box, like you do with the pro models you can buy that charger separately, though, if you wish to charge more quickly, there's a lot. That's the same here. The cameras are a bit different, though now B main and the wide or ultra-wide lenses are exactly the same as the computational photography features that you would find on. The pro models which are getting here is the telephoto lens.

We'll talk a little more about why you might miss that in a moment now a lot of people, a lot of reviewers say this- is the iPhone most people should get I. Don't really believe in that I'm not telling you what you should get I, give you the facts, so you can make that decision for yourself, I say get the iPhone. That has the features that you want and that will not put you in some sort of financial peril. That said, this does offer many of the same features as the pro model, and one thing that's kind of nice, always about the spiritual successor to the iPhone 10 R, which is what the iPhone 11 is. Is that it's that kind of Goldilocks in between size, for those need to think the 5.8 inch iPhone pro is too small and the 6.5 inch max is way too big for you to handle the 6.1 inch in the middle kind of size. Is nice, it's kind of mainstream, and you're getting a high-end phone without having to go fabulous, phablet size, which is generally the problem with Android Land.

The OnePlus 7 pro, for example, which directly competes and including on price starting around 669, is a significantly larger phone. You also get the same 12 megapixel front camera that you do on the pro models, and it has two levels of zoom, so you can get it a little wider. The selfie here is of the cat, because you're, seeing enough of my face, and these videos already aren't you, and you also get ip68 water resistance, which is up from ip67 rating for the iPhone 10 are also faster connectivity. Just like the pro models you get Wi-Fi six and gigabit 4G LTE, no, there's still no 5g, but really we're not ready for 5g. Yet the spectrum isn't all sorted out with the modem bands and also the modems tend to overheat in the phones that are on the market right now, so maybe next year or for sure the year after will totally be into 5g.

If you knew this kind of speeds. Lastly, you get the same: u1 ultra-wideband chip and what that's for is for basically right now, it's going to be for airdrop, so directionally. If you're working with another, you want equipped iPhone, you can put your iPhones in each other, so you don't have to scroll through a whole list of possible airdrop buddies to drop with also, they can add, support for other things like device tags like for your luggage or whatever you get the idea. So what aren't you getting here while you're getting an IPS display instead of an OLED display, is also lower resolution and lower pixel density 300, six PPI, which has been the old LCD retinas standard for years, not surpassed until Apple came out with the OLED displays, which are about a hundred PPI higher now no OLED here. So unless you have a PWM sensitivity, pulse width, modulation, where you notice the screen refreshing OLED displays refresh of the lower Hertz, so might be more noticeable.

If you have a particular sensitivity, IPS display is refreshed much higher. You might not see it other than that. It's still a wide gamut DCI p3 display with good color accuracy and honestly, if you look at it in the store or look at your bunnies or whatever you're going to say this isn't really nice-looking display. So it's not like oh wow, that's fantastic, or something and for $700 it shouldn't be, but at the same time you're not going to see that super high contrast, you're not going to see as vivid colors you're, not gonna, get HDR support, which really can make videos pop that are recorded, HDR format and the brightness is gonna, be lower. Six hundred and twenty-five minutes for the IPS iPhone 11 first is almost twice that on the iPhone Pro models when you're watching HDR content, it's a bit lower if you're on the home screen- and it's not twice as much it's just about 215, it's brighter, then the other thing you're not getting is the stainless steel frame and the matte glass back on the pro models.

Now it's up to you, whether you like them, the glossy or the matte I mean you know, be wearing a case on this thing anyway. Aren't you, the stainless steel is more durable? Aluminum is easier to scratch and dent again, if you're wearing a good case less of an issue there. And, of course, if you actually need 512 gigs of storage, and you can't afford an iPhone, 11 Pro with 512, gigs and storage, that's kept storage capacity is not available on the iPhone 11, but I think most people would be okay with 256 gigs all right. Let's talk about the cameras, so you're getting the same main and ultra-wide cameras, as you would on the pro Mouse, and they are s compendious, like I, said in my iPhone 11 Pro max review and go ahead and watch that, because I go into the Super-duper detail there, particularly with the camera, they have done a great job of bringing themselves up to parity with Android. They were kind of lagging behind, and you know feel a little bad like I'm, an Android friend, thanks sharper pictures has more lenses whenever that sort of thing.

These are perfect pictures, sharp crisp, detailed and natural-looking, not overly, not overly contrasted. They look like something you would get out of and standalone camera, which is a wonderful accomplishment for something. That's a tiny little phone lens. Isn't it also? You have the same night mode that you would get on the pro models, and it's stupendous. I mean again just like with the pro Mac smile I had locked myself into a dark bathroom with just like one inch of the door.

Cracked open, so I didn't hurt myself in the dark and took a picture compared to the Pixel 3a XL, which is the low-light champion, and it did really well in fact, with the iOS 13.1 update that we've since gotten I would say it's improved even more, and it looks a little better than the pixel three eggs. Now what happens with the pixel four we'll have to wait a couple more weeks to find out there, but Apple has done a wonderful job, so the ultra-wide lens obviously is useful if you're doing landscape photos, huge family, portraits or gatherings, or something like that. But it's really nice for big outdoor shots and even for up close ones where you wanted to do that kind of fill the lens with the person kind of thing. The features will be a little distorted, but it looks really cool now. What you're not getting is the telephoto lens here, and you might say, I can live with that, but without that for $300, and you could very well be right, but it's not just that.

You don't get to take sharp telephoto photos that are in 2x zoom relative to the main camera without having to use digital zoom. But the both portrait shots are noticeably different here and that's where the telephoto lens would usually come into play. You can see on screen right now that using both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11, taking the same picture of the same Stork statute and the little whoopsies that you get with the both with thee around the edges of your subject there, where there's interpolations mess, ups and stuff like that, you'll see that on the iPhone 11 camera. If you zoom in, and you notice that you won't see that nearly as much on the 11pro and Pro max cameras, they like to have occasional errors with the borders of your main subject, but not nearly as much last year, the iPhone 10 R was the battery life champion, beating out the iPhone 10 s. Antennas max, even in part, because the lower resolution lower power consuming IPS display really helped there.

Well this year, that's kind of turned around that you do get a slightly bigger 31, 10 William battery inside compared to the 10r, but because Apple made the batteries more significantly bigger on the pro models they actually last longer in the chart. So that's another selling point for the pro models. If you really need that we're talking by several hours here now that the iPhone 11 is a slouch when it comes to battery life, it's so on the class-leading, especially compared to allow the Android flagship competition out there, but not as long as the pro models. So that's the iPhone 11 for 2019, starting at $6.99, and really it's a good phone for the money, even if it doesn't all the pro features for the price you're. Getting a super-fast performing CPU in here the same amount of RAM you get on a pro model, really very good cameras, no tell and lesser on the both portraits.

But you know you get the idea here and a selection of really awesome. Colors I'm Lisa from mobile tech review be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more cool tech videos and be sure to enable notification C and know where we have a video.
