Apple’s new iPhone Xs and Max are expensive and big and iPhone XR is colour-full and little less expensive.
Apple line up just became bigger with launch of al new iPhone Xr
Flagship iPhone XS MAX and XS are big and bigger with OLED screen and some really good specs. iPhone XR is not short in term of processing power, but it has lower resolution screen and only one camera. iPhone XR is more affordable then XS and XS MAX. iPhone XR also comes in more colours
So lets see which iPhone is made for u
Price
This is the most apparent different that iPhone XR is for 79,900 INR compared with 99,900 INR iPhone XS and 1,09,900 INR for iPhone XS MAX for 64GB models of all 3 phones.
Size
iPhone XR is slightly thinner then XS and XS MAX measuring at 0.33 inch deep compared to 0.30 inch. Thats half a millimeter you’d not notice without calipers.
Display
iPhone XR’s biggest difference in XS and XS MAX is the screen. The tow flagship iPhone has OLED screen that has phenomenal contrast with very sharp Super retina 458ppi HD, the XR has little dull screen compare to XR and XR MAX with 6.1 inch IPS LCD screen and 326ppi 1080p 1,792 by 828 resolution Apple calls it Liquid Retina display on paper it looks like massive step back.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 which costs less then iPhone XR features 2,960 by 1,440 OLED screen with number higher 570ppi
Power
Apple XR processing is not less then XS and XS MAX even if it is compromises on screen. The iPhone XR uses the same Apple A12 Bionic chip that is used in XS and XS MAX. Apple did not release the details how much memory each phone has, but may be the lower resolution iPhone XR might even run faster then flagship iPhone XS and XS MAX because the A12 Bionic chip doesn’t have to push as many pixels
Camera
This is one of the reason why XR has lower price. It has one 12MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture compared with dual 12MP camera’s on iPhone XS and XS MAX. Single camera in XR limits certain way of photography effects such as bokeh in portrait. It also reduces the ability to detect depth with augmented reality. It will be a solid phone camera on its own because it has plenty of processing tricks that will improve pictures all thanks to all new A12 Bionic chip. iPhone XR, XS & XS MAX will have 7mp f//2.2 front facing camera
Battery
Apple Clams iPhone XR will last 1.5 times longer then iPhone 8 plus. If we compare battery life of XR with XS MAX then iPhone XR wont have be behind because XS MAX can last upto 15 hours of internet use and 65 hours of audio playback. Altho we will have to test the phones batteries our selfs with outs methods to see which one will last longer
Our Verdict
iPhone XR is most affordable iPhone this year starting at 79,900 INR which has same processing power as other flagship iPhone. XR can be good alternate iPhone to XS and XS MAX but the LCD screen that has low resolution and thats one compromise that we wont like altho you save huge amount and Samsung flagship phones have much higher resolution OLED screen and cost almost same as XR but APPLE LIQUID RETINA might perform better in test . We cant be certain at this stage unless our team don’t get the XR into out testing area.
