Back in early September Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), announced the absolute flagship iPhone X - anniversary apparatus, which is designed to rethink the concept of phones Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and pave the way to the future of smartphone construction. It will be available on November 3, but the media has already studied the novelty.

Hi-tech.mail gathered the most interesting opinions.

Most reviewers have so far laid out only first impressions - they spent with new smartphones Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), no more than a day before the lifting of the embargo on the publication of reviews.

It is worth remembering that the disadvantages and problems when using do not manifest so quickly: therefore Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), issued iPhone X and immediately lifted the embargo, in order to avoid thorough testing.

Reviews agree on one thing - the first frameless iPhone was definitely a success:

He has a great OLED screen.
The combination of glass and polished steel looks beautiful and premium.
sensor FaceID recognizes the owner well and does not allow others into the smartphone.
The cameras shoot perfectly, stabilization and a higher telephoto aperture significantly improve the quality of the second module.
The disappearance of the “Home” button did not pass without a trace, we have to get used to the unusual new control scheme.

5 main drawbacks iPhone X first editors impressions:

Not everyone likes the protrusion (applications are not optimized and the content does not fit into these "ears").
The front camera works poorly with portrait lighting (the boundaries of the object are fuzzy).
FaceID Works well, but not perfect.
Polished metal frames will quickly scratch like old ones iPod Touch or Watch Apple.
To repair it is very expensive.

Design

Scott stein from CNET notes that the new iPhone looks unusual and futuristic, something like that from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), have been waiting for: "IPhone X Looks like a concept car or some kind of secret prototype. Here and X in the title, and the legacy of ten years of development iPhone. In addition, this is an optional upgrade - something like 8 iPhone Plusbut more compact. The new design is very bold, very “different” after almost three years of the same iPhone».

Chris Velazco from Engadget Also delighted with the materials and frameless design:

"Even without taking into account aesthetic preferences, iPhone X looks amazing, incredibly polished and verified even by high standards Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. I especially liked the stainless steel frame - it adds weight to the apparatus, and the front and rear glass panels are connected to the metal as smoothly as possible, the seam is not felt. ”

As for the island with cameras and sensors, then it did not seem to be a big drawback:

“The ledge seemed strange and awkward design decision, but after a couple of hours I just stopped noticing it. All the same, all the most interesting things on the screen are closer to the bottom edge. ”

However, not all. The Verge pointed out problems with this “chin”:

Unfortunately, the screen spoils this hump, at least until the application developers learn to fit it into their design, now the display area is not consumed completely.

Literally, many applications simply do not use most of the screen. Non-optimized applications use the "soft frame", that is, they add huge black fields at the top and bottom.

But at the same time in the wording The Verge in general, they refused to believe that in front of them a real apparatus, the white version looks so good:

"At first sight iPhone X so good that one of our editors kept saying that he was not real. It is perfectly assembled and polished - I especially liked the fact that the company finally removed all the technical text from the back panel, leaving only one word “iPhone"On the back".

“The screen is bright, juicy and as if it fits to the glass even more densely than on previous models, as if the pixels are right under the fingers. Honestly, it really looks like a revived advertising render, and not like a real smartphone. ”

Screen

Incredible but the screen is new iPhone sincerely praise all without exception. Indeed, who would have thought? Here is an opinion Gareth Beavis from TechRadar:

“This is one of the most“ frameless ”smartphones on the market. The protrusion at the upper edge of the 5,8 inch screen is the only thing that stands between you and what is on the screen, the effect of this is bewitching. ”

"In comparison with iPhone 7 this is a completely different device, the large screen filling the entire front panel is impressive, especially if you haven’t dealt with Galaxy S8. I can not express how beautiful this screen is - and this is not an exaggeration. The colors are deep, saturated, with smooth transitions. Yes, Samsung there is something to envy. "

Nilay Patel from The Verge notes that the OLED panel supports HDR and color correction system true Tone and overall very, very good.

"System Apple's true tone automatically adjusts the color tone of the screen to the environment, and the photos are displayed with a wider dynamic coverage, moreover, the screen supports the standard Dolby Vision HDR, so movies from iTunes will look brighter. I noticed that colors sometimes deviate from the ideal balance of RGB, but this does not interfere, I had to carefully search for these imperfections in the color rendition. ”

Face ID Job

Before the release iPhone X most worried about the new system FaceID - The “Home” button disappeared from the front panel, and with it the fingerprint scanner, which was replaced by the owner’s face scanner. In the reviews, it is noted that unlocking the face works quickly, but not instantly. Lance Ulanoff from Mashable writes:

“I lift the smartphone, the screen automatically turns on, and I need to pull the curtain from bottom to top to unlock. While I'm doing this, the sensors Face ID find my face, recognize and give permission to enter. All this happens as a single gesture. Or you can use a PIN. "

Cnet conducted a test with a change in appearance:

«Face ID he recognized me right away in most cases, but there were mistakes a couple of times. I also suggested several colleagues try to unlock the smartphone with their own faces, they did not work out. It was not possible to deceive the scanner and the large monitor, which displayed my face. But Face ID it works fine even in a completely dark room in which my face was lit only by the screen of the smartphone itself. ”

But in more difficult conditions, problems arose.

“I carried out more extreme tests: I cut my hair, shaved my beard, put on dark and ordinary glasses, a hat, a scarf and a false beard. It did not work only with the most absurd overhead mustache, wigs and fitting glasses. ”

It became known that with the twins FaceID "Not friendly." Edition Mashable invited several identical twins to the editorial board to check whether the recognition system can distinguish them. I could not - iPhone X responded equally to the faces of both. However, this is not surprising, because the twins are really the same, they even have identical DNA, and a psychologist is more likely to distinguish between them than a blood test.

Camera

The camera is all praised, and for good reason - this is an improved version of the one that is installed in iPhone 8, and this is a great application. The Verge:

"I spent with the camera iPhone X not much time, but, in short, it is almost identical to that set to 8 iPhone Plus. Both lenses have optical stabilization, while 8 Plus only the wide-angle module has it, and the system TrueDepth on the front module allows you to take selfies in the "Portrait mode". It's cute".

But with “Portrait Lighting” on the front camera, not everything is perfect yet. Chris Velazco, Engadget:

“Portrait Lighting” is still officially in beta testing on both cameras, and Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), while clearly not sharpened this technology to the end. My face looked oddly cut from the background and was not always properly highlighted. On the rear cameras, this mode sometimes works as it should, but I was not lucky with the front camera. ”

New management

Due to the fact that there are no buttons on the front panel, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), developed new gestures for iPhone X. Many got used to them rather quickly, but in Engadget note that it is necessary to relearn.

There is no more room for the “Home” button, an essential interface element. iPhone from the very first model. This loss is noticeable, and you have to get used to it. But this is not necessarily bad, there are no improvements that would not require changing habits. Besides, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), hates buttons. To return to the home screen, swipe up from the edge of the screen. It's simple.

“But a more complex gesture: hold and hold to open the menu of running applications. I knew that sooner or later I would learn these gestures, but then I caught myself trying to do the same with iPad. Oops! Now my finger itself does not fall on the "Home" button.

The conclusion is the same for all: the smartphone turned out to be incredibly pleasant, convenient and functional. Is it really so, we will check when the device arrives on sale 3 November and the appearance of reviews of real users.
