Is the iPhone XR worth buying
Now, major shopping malls have opened the pre purchase mode of iPhone XR. Cut the crap. I have collected six features of iPhone XR. If you are still wondering whether it is better to buy iPhone XS or iPhone XR, you might as well read this article and make a decision.
Features: more colors, more memory choices, better LCD screen, more dual cards, clearer single shot and longer battery life
1. Six colors are dazzling
IPhone XR offers six body colors, and many young apple fans are attracted by Apple's sincerity this year.
Black, white, blue, yellow, coral and red are as colorful as flowers, which is enough to make you 'cross the eyes'.
In addition, the 194g iPhone XR is lighter than last year's 202g iPhone 8 plus due to its glass material. Thanks to the full screen, the overall body of the iPhone XR is smaller than that of the iPhone 8 plus.
But the display area of the screen is larger than that of the latter. The application with high screen ratio is also the feature of iPhone XR, which is also possessed by XS.
2. Memory multiple choice 'no discount'
Before the iPhone slot point more, to belong to the memory. In the last two years, Apple will provide the new iPhone in the way of "intermediate specification fault". For example, the iPhone X has 64GB and 256gb versions, but it doesn't have 128GB.
Now, iPhone XR has brought back Apple's conscience and sincerity. This time, iPhone XR offers three specifications: 64GB / 128GB / 256gb. For many users who complain that 64GB is not enough and 256gb is too big, the return of 128GB really solves their worries.
In addition to the colorful color matching body, the liquid retina LCD screen used in the iPhone XR is also a bright place. Apple is also officially introducing the iPhone's XR screen, the most advanced LCD screen in the history of the iPhone.
When it comes to the difference between the iPhone XS and the iPhone XR, the biggest difference is still on the screen. The XR is an LCD screen and the XS is an OLED screen. Most people always add the word "cheap" in front of the iPhone XR. This is a wrong understanding. Each of the two screens has its own advantages.
In terms of function, there is a certain difference between iPhone XR and iPhone XS with OLED screen. First of all, 3D touch doesn't support the use on the iPhone XR, and can't enjoy the corresponding functions brought about by're press, re press'.
Without 3D touch, the biggest drawback is that Alipay can not jump directly to scan code. Wechat direct access to scan, these convenient operations from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone XR can not be used.
Instead, tap the wake-up function and double-click towards the screen to turn on the normally on state; Long press the camera and flashlight icon on the lock screen to quickly open its corresponding functions.
In terms of resolution, the iPhone XR is 1792x828, which is obviously inferior to the iPhone XS Max's 2688x1242, even lower than the smaller screen sizes of iPhone x (2436x1135) and iPhone 8 plus (1920x1080).
Therefore, many people ridicule that Apple's screen configuration for XR is a thousand yuan 720p level. In addition, the iPhone XR does not support HDR display, and the resolution is a bit inferior to the iPhone XS.
But! Low resolution does not mean that the iPhone XR displays less content.
The content displayed on the screen does not depend entirely on the absolute value of resolution (physical resolution), but also on the optimized pixels (logical resolution) at the software level.
Generally speaking, physical resolution is supported by hardware, while logical resolution can be achieved by software. Through software optimization, iPhone XR and iPhone XS Max have the same logical resolution (414 x 896pt).
4. IPhone XR supports dual cards and dual standby
This year's new iPhone finally supports the dual card and dual standby function. Unfortunately, the iPhone XS of BOC is still a single card version due to the limitation of domestic SIM card, which makes domestic users have to choose the iPhone XS max.
However, the iPhone XR seems to give users more choices because it supports dual cards and dual standby.
The iPhone XR, which is cheap and supports dual sim card, has achieved enough cost performance this time.
5. Single shot iPhone with excellent imaging
In terms of photography, although the iPhone XR is designed with a single camera, it uses the same 12 million f / 1.8 lens as the iPhone XS, and supports portrait mode and depth of field adjustment mode.
Portrait Lighting as Apple's 10th anniversary of the release of the heavyweight photography features, many other users and viewers. But this kind of function only exists in dual camera phones, such as iPhone 8, iPhone 7 and other models are not.
As a single lens product, iPhone XR can still get the portrait mode supported by hardware through software calculation, but iPhone XR only supports three kinds of portrait lighting effects, which is less stage light and monochrome stage light than dual camera.
The characteristic of stage light and monochrome stage light is to 'erase' the unexpected part of the character's face, which requires the mobile phone to have a higher accuracy in the separation of distant and close range.
It's easy to handle in dual camera products, but in software simulation, maybe Apple doesn't think it's enough to provide enough depth of field information to achieve these two kinds of lighting effects. It is worth mentioning that the front end of the iPhone XR supports all five kinds of portrait lighting effects.
6. Longer endurance
According to Apple's official data, the endurance of the iPhone XR is 1.5 hours better than that of the iPhone 8 plus, which is mainly due to the more advanced LCD screen's power-saving features and larger battery capacity, and the iPhone XR is currently the best in the iPhone's endurance.
From the endurance chart in the figure below, the iPhone XR is stronger than the iPhone in the four endurance tests of call, network, video and audio in recent two years. It can be seen that the iPhone XR is a good work for game players and heavy users.
