Apple iPhone X

Apple recently pushed the boundaries (quite literally), with its iPhone X. A phone that has been the veritable butt of all jokes, all thanks to its expensive price and the failed Face ID demo on stage. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The iPhone X is a 7.7mm slim phone with glass on both front and rear and a metallic side frame sandwiched in the middle. The phone has dual cameras on the rear supported by Apples ARKit (which is supposed to be a big boost for Augmented Reality), and on the front, it's mostly display. This is the first time ever that Apple is using an OLED panel. The iPhone X display is a 5.8-inch screen (With 3D touch, Dolby Vision, 625 Nits bright) that fills the entire fascia, save for a notch on top that houses the new Depth camera setup that's also used for the Face ID secure unlock. A thin black border runs along the display on all sides. Since there is no home button on the front, you will have to navigate through iPhone X using gestures. Using a dot projector and IR laser, the depth camera can map your face using 30,000 invisible dots. You can use it to unlock your phone securely and conveniently with a simple glance. The depth camera module also includes the 7MP camera for selfies. Apple also uses the depth map and selfie camera for Animojis or animated emojis tunned in line with your facial muscles. As for iPhone X Rear camera performance, both the 12MP sensors benefit from optical image stabilization. You can use the setup for 2X lossless zoom or for Portrait shots (with blurred background). Apple has also added a unique Portrait lighting feature that can be used to add studio lighting effects on clicked images. On the inside, the handset is powered by the new Hexa-core A11 bionic chip with its own neural engine (for AR) paired with 3GB RAM and 64GB/256GB storage. Initial benchmark sightings confirm Apple claims of this being the most powerful mobile chipset as of today. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.0 support, iOS 11, IP67 water and dust resistance, Wireless charging, and '2 hours more than iPhone 7' worth of battery backup. iPhone X Price in India is 89,000 INR for the base variant and Rs. 1,00,2000 for the 256GB storage variant. You can buy iPhone X in India starting from November 3, 2017.
