Apple iPhone Xs 64 GB

The base model in the new generation of iPhone has replaced the original "top ten", which caused a lot of hype around its own person due to its extraordinary appearance with a characteristic "bangs" on the front panel. Nevertheless, the Apple iPhone XS is by no means a revolutionary, but an evolutionary continuation of the "apple" series.

Power reserves

Dust and moisture-proof according to the IP68 standard, the body of the device carries a performant “hardware” on board, which is headed by the Apple A12 Bionic chip, manufactured using the 7-nm process technology. Assisting him in solving problems related to the operation of the portrait mode of the camera, the Face ID system, augmented reality and the creation of "animoji" is kindly provided by the 8-core neural processor Neural Engine. In the “base”, the model is equipped with a 64 GB drive, and in the maximum configuration of the smartphone, the storage capacity is 512 GB.

The continuity of generations

Externally, the Xs device is almost indistinguishable from its predecessor in the face of the Apple iPhone X. He got a similar size Super Retina OLED display of 5.8-inch diagonal with a display resolution of 2436x1125 pixels and full support for HDR10. But, as you know, the devil is in the details — the screen is covered with a reinforced protective glass, the colour gamut of the display has improved twice as much, and the touch sensor polling rate was 120 Hz, which has a positive effect on its responsiveness.

Photo and video features

The set of cameras in the arsenal of the smartphone consists of a tandem of 12 MP modules with a double optical stub, which now stabilizes the picture, including when shooting video in 4K. The luminosity of the cameras remained the same (f/1.8 for the main module and f/2.4 for the portrait one), but the size of a single pixel (up to 1.4 microns) has grown in the main “eye”, which means it is able to capture more light. Other innovations include the introduction of Smart HDR for capturing high dynamic range shots without lag when you press the shutter button, and the ability to change the amount of background blur in the finished photo. Video recording on the camera is made at a frequency of 60 fps in 4K and in FullHD resolution at 240 fps, moreover, the sound is recorded from four microphones in stereo.

two-term

Apple has finally been able to put 2 SIM into service with "apple" smartphones. But she did it in her own way: one of the “sims” is physical, and the second is virtual (eSIM) and its support is not claimed by all mobile operators (in our latitudes, this has not yet been implemented). However, there will be two physical SIM cards in the version for the Chinese market. Summing up, the Apple iPhone Xs is destined to become the most balanced smartphone of the trinity of mobile devices announced at the dawn of autumn 2018 with a bitten apple logo on the rear glass panel.
