iPhone XS vs iPhone 11 in 2020 - Which should you buy? By BubVisuals

How's it going guys will here, and today we're going to be comparing the 2018 flagship, iPhone 10s to the current at the moment at least iPhone 11. After doing my review of the iPhone 10s, this is actually one of the most requested phones for me to actually compare it. To I mean this kind of makes sense. They are within 150 of each other in the current market, and there are some pretty stark differences between the two so which of these two phones should get your money in 2020. Let's find out first off, of course, as usual, we have these specs in terms of processing power. The iPhone 10s has that a12 bionic, whereas the iPhone 11 got the incremental upgrade with the a13 chip, and there are actually some differences when it comes to these two.

But we're going to be talking more about what this means later on. Both phones also feature four gigabytes of ram, which is nice to see and both have a variety of storage amounts, but the iPhone 10s having 64, 256 and 512 gigabytes, whereas on the iPhone 11 we again have 64 and 256, but instead of the 512 gigabyte option, we get the gigabyte option which, in my opinion, is probably more useful. That said, if you do like to keep lots of apps on your phone or just local files, then it is nice that you can get that higher storage amount on the iPhone 10s. But realistically I always go for the lowest amount anyway, and I've never had an issue so yeah. Take that as it is in terms of color options, there are more with the iPhone 11 with black white, green purple, yellow and red, which the iPhone 11 has space, gray, silver and gold.

Personally, I really like the gold color of the iPhone 10s more than any of the others. Oh, there's just something about the blender gold and rose gold. That just looks amazing, in my opinion, yeah big fan. Finally, the iPhone 10s weighs in at 177 grams, whereas the iPhone 11 weighs in at 194 grams, so a little heavier, but this is almost definitely down to that: bigger screen size and apart from the battery life in the screen size, because these get their own segments later on. That's it in terms of specs.

To be honest, they are pretty similar on paper, with only improvements in the CPU and the color options on the iPhone 11. However, again we are going to be talking about that CPU performance later on, but yeah purely on that CPU, the iPhone 11 does win when it comes to specs in almost every area other than, of course, the weight and storage. Next up, we have the build quality, both use, a glass and metal build and both feel awesome. Glass will just make any phone feel more premium. However, the stainless steel bezel on the 10s does feel a little better than the 7000 series aluminum on the 11.

I also like how it looks more with that shiny finish, and while this is certainly more of an aesthetic thing, just the way that it feels in the hand, does feel a little more premium. Both fans feature that ip68 water resistance rating, which essentially just means it's water resistant up to two meters, although the official ip68 rating is actually for 1.5 meters, and this is for 30 minutes. So this is a nice fail-safe. If you accidentally get your phone wet, I was actually out hiking the other day and I accidentally dropped my tennis in a river, not the smartest move I've ever made, but yeah because of that water resistance rating. It was totally fine.

Do bear in mind, though well that glass back will make your phone look and feel awesome. It does also make them significantly more breakable and, to be honest, the bigger size of the 11 does technically make it slightly more fragile, but not to any noticeable degree, and I personally recommend a case regardless. Overall, it is a very similar story for both phones. They look and feel awesome they're water resistant up to a point. However, you should probably try to avoid dropping them all right.

Next up we have the screen an area where they are actually pretty different. The Lin 10s has a 5.8 inch hour, LED screen with a resolution of 1125 by 2436, and it has a PPI of 458, whereas the iPhone 11 has that largest 6.1-inch screen, but it has a lower resolution screen of 828 by 1792 and a PVI of 326. The technology is also different with the 10s using that OLED panel and the 11 using an LCD panel. What this means is essentially in real world performance. The 10s does have noticeably more contrast with deeper blacks and more dynamic.

Colors. Don't get me wrong. The iPhone 11 LCD panel still does look pretty fantastic as LCD screens go. However, when you put them side by side, it's not really a competition. Both phones also have that 120 hertz touch sensing with a 60hz refresh rate screen, and this just generally leads to a smoother touch.

Experience on both the 10s has 3d touch as its secondary interaction, which operates on pressure versus the iPhone 11, which features the newer Hampton touch technology which operates on time, pressed honestly. The difference between these two at this point has been bridged by software updates, but I personally still do just really like that: 3d touch, opening menus, just felt really cool and well haptic touch is very good, and I could definitely switch to it with very little issue. It's just not the same. Both panels also feature true tone which, if you are unaware, it essentially just keeps the whites of your screen, nice and balanced, and this is actually a really great feature. Despite how insignificant it seems.

Overall, the winner is pretty clear here, at least in my opinion, with the higher resolution our LED panel, the iPhone 10s does have the better screen moving on to an area where they aren't so different. We have the button placement both are, of course 10 style iPhones, so they have the isolated, lock button, separate volume buttons and, of course, that mute switch. When I first switched over, I'm not going to lie. It did take me a little while to get used to it, but now that I am I really like it, everything makes sense. All the buttons do feel well mapped out and honestly, they all feel nice and tactile.

To be totally honest. I have actually found the iPhone 11 to feel slightly more tactile, and I actually think this is down to the aluminum bezel versus the stainless steel. One don't get me wrong, it's not particularly noticeable. It won't be like a night and day difference, but regardless it is nice to see overall, both are pretty much identical and both are perfect. Following on from this, we have the main unlock methods for each of these phones and, of course, again, seeing as they are both 10 star iPhones.

This is face ID I mentioned in my tennis review that the face ID did seem a little more versatile than the original 10. However, the iPhone 11 is more versatile still well, if mostly correctly angled, the iPhone 10s will quickly unlock your phone. The iPhone 11 can literally be on like a table or your lap, and it'll still unlock very quickly with no issues. Don't get me wrong. The 10s is fast and works well in all lighting conditions, but that said, the 11 is the clear winner here, following on, we have the camera and, despite them both being dual camera systems, there are some pretty stark differences between the two.

The iPhone 10s has that standard wide angle, with a resolution of 12 megapixels and an aperture of f 1.8 and a telephoto again with a resolution of 12 megapixels and an aperture of f 2.4 on the iPhone 11, we again see that wide angle same resolution, same aperture. However, on the second focal length, we actually see an ultra-wide same resolution and with an aperture of f 2.4 in terms of the front facing camera. The iPhone 10s has that 7 megapixel, f 2.2, whereas the iPhone 11 saw a nice upgrade to a 12, megapixel front-facing, camera. Okay, so of course specs are nice. However, of course, what really matters is the performance.

So how did they do honestly? Both work really well? They both have good levels of dynamic range, sharpness and saturation. However, the iPhone 11 just manages to look a little better, with more dynamic range and slightly more saturation while still looking natural. This is, of course, most likely down to that new a13 processor, which introduced pixel by pixel processing, and this helps bring in more dynamic range, while still keeping the images looking natural. This also means the introduction of deep fusion and night mode, which is nice in terms of portrait mode. Both do a nice job in blurring out the background in a way that mostly looks natural, except some edges.

Both do have that aperture slider to control the level of blur and the only real difference besides other photo changes like the previously mentioned, dynamic range and saturation is that the iPhone 11 uses the standard camera for portrait mode, whereas the iPhone XS uses that telephoto the iPhone 11 also has night mode which helps you get clean, low-light photos, and this was probably my favorite feature of the iPhone 11 on launch. The clarity of some of these photos is pretty amazing and well. There are apps to help you bring this to older iPhones name like neural cam. If you want to see that tested, that's up there, but in that testing I still found the iPhone 11 2b cleaner and overall, it is a really cool feature. Moving on, we have the video side of things.

Both phones shoot 4k at up to 60 fps. However, the iPhone 11 features extended, dynamic range support at up to 60 fps on the main camera and up to 30 fps on the front facing camera. Honestly again, this looks amazing. You still get a nice looking natural image with again noticeably more dynamic range. This is super useful and actually does feel like a genuine improvement.

Don't get me wrong. The iPhone 10s does shoot perfect video, but it's just not quite as good as the iPhone 11. Both also shoot slow motion in 1080p at up to 240 fps and, to be honest, neither look great, but again we do see a little more dynamic range on the iPhone 11. We also get those slow fees on the iPhone 11, which uh not really sure how useful they are. It's essentially just 120 fps on the front-facing camera and again this looks okay, but, to be honest, don't really get the point myself.

Overall, both phones do have really great cameras, and, while I personally prefer the iPhone 10s, I actually find the telephoto lens to be a little more useful. The iPhone 11 does certainly take the win here, largely thanks to that a13, processor, okay, so moving on, we have the OSM app performance, which is probably the most important part of either of these phones. As of now, which is september 2020 both actually perform really well. Both phones are running iOS 14. Currently, however, for most of my ownership, they've been running iOS 13 and on both systems have run really well swiping through the OS is flawless.

Opening apps is fast and stock functions. Work really well in terms of more demanding tasks. Both play high resolution, videos on YouTube with ease and gaming has been great on both. However, due to that new a13 processor in the iPhone 11 amp the bonus year of support, it's probably going to get. I honestly put my money on the iPhone 11 staying good for a little longer.

So if you are planning to keep your phone for a really long time, then that should certainly be a consideration. Moving on, we have the speakers. Both phones feature that stereo technology, which uses both the top and the bottom speaker in conjunction to create a wider louder. Sound and I've always found this so long as it's well-balanced to work really nicely. It gives a nice extra kick to the built-in speakers and just helps to improve them.

The iPhone 11 does take it a little further, however, and introduces a new technology known as sparse audio playback, which just makes the sound a little more dynamic and a little louder and while neither are perfect, especially for high quality listening, the iPhone 11 is definitely the winner here. Battery life is another clear win for the iPhone 11. In terms of specs. The iPhone 10s has a battery size of 2 658 William hours versus that 3 110 William hours on the iPhone 11. , thanks to the LCD screen, better battery efficient with the a13 bionic and, of course, bigger battery size, the iPhone 11 definitively outlasts the 10s.

That said most of the time, the iPhone 10s does make it through the day. Just fine. However, I do still occasionally have to plug it in during the evening, whereas with the iPhone 11, I have no concern about the iPhone 11 running out even on long days and yeah, it's pretty clear to me that it does have the better battery okay, so which of these two phones. Should you buy? Well, honestly, it depends on what you want. Do you want a better screen, a telephoto lens and a smaller size? If so, you should probably go with the iPhone 10s, just uh make sure to check the battery health okay, but maybe you don't want that? Maybe you want a bigger screen, better battery life and maybe something like night mode.

If so, then, the iPhone 11 is probably best, or you could get neither and wait for the iPhone 12 nor get an iPhone 10. Realistically, there is no right answer when it comes to the perfect phone, but hopefully this video will help you come to that conclusion, all right guys, so that's it for today. Let me know which one of these two phones, you personally prefer in the comments below, but as of now, as always thank you for watching, remember to like the video.
