Why iPhone XR is a BETTER CHOICE than iPhone XS

I'm about to make a controversial statement and I ask you to listen to me before you judge me too much. The number one best iPhone for 2018 is obviously the tenth maximum. If you don't take price into account, the 10 Max is clearly the best, but this is where I will differ from many other reviewers and that is that I think the iPhone 10 R is, in fact,

better

than the iPhone 10 s. I have several reasons, but the first and most important is that the iPhone 10 R costs less and maintains almost the same features set at $749 versus $999. The 10 R is 25% cheaper, which obviously offers more bang for the buck, especially considering it has the same 12 Bionic chip that provides fantastic performance and power for everyday, incredible gaming experiences, It has exactly the same main camera, the same front camera, the same Face ID, the same App Store and it's even

better

in some areas that we're going to delve into.

Here in the following reasons, reason number two is that the iPhone 10 R has a larger screen. We're talking about a 6.1-inch screen versus a 5.8-inch screen. I am a person who is interested in a larger screen that provides better viewing. experience that allows you to become more immersed in your content, whether it's games, TV shows, movies, it doesn't really matter, a larger screen will generally almost always be a better experience. Now I know there are a lot of you out there saying but-but- but the iPhone 10 only has a 720p screen and that is blatantly false, a 720p screen actually only has nine hundred and twenty 1000 pixels, 1080p has a little over two million pixels and the iPhone 10 R has one point four eight million pixels, so that's closer to 1080p than 720p, but it's pretty close to the middle.

All of that says that Apple is calling this display a Liquid Retina display and that's because it's still a Retina display at a normal viewing distance, which is like eight to nine inches you won't be able to discern the difference between the 10s and the 10s. A and I think that's something that a lot of people are misunderstanding. The iPhone s has a super Retina display, it's just overkill and the iPhone 10 R delivers on that. reference standard of a normal viewing distance, you won't see any pixels, it's a solid enough resolution, the only time you'll be able to tell the difference, literally, is if you hold down the phone button like two inches from your face and you're looking very close but that is a completely unrealistic scenario, no one uses their phone that way, it has enough resolution so don't worry about it now, some of you will also point out I have discovered that the 10 s has an OLED screen and the 10 only has an LCD screen.

Now what you need to look out for is a much improved LCD screen. I've seen side-by-side content between these two phones and it's ridiculously hard to tell. Any differences in visual quality, such as brightness, colors, contrasts, all seem to match the 10r. Apple rates them as having the same color gamut, same level of brightness, although the 10s has a higher level of contrast, at least on paper, the extra. The contrast of the 10s will only translate to super dark content, like dark scary movies for example, it will look better at the 10s than the 10R, but those are very few in the middle, generally speaking it will be as an identical display. experience between these two phones, except that the 10 R has a larger screen, so you will enjoy it more.

I think for reason number 3 of the 10 R, the iPhone 10 R has 25% better battery life and this is according to Apple's official ratings at Apple. .com we are looking at 15 hours of internet usage on the 10 R and only 12 hours of internet usage on the 10 and that's with Apple's official rating. I'm going to do a battery test comparing all these phones, look at the C I think the 10 R should even last longer than the 10 s max which is beastly battery life. Anyway, there are a couple of different reasons for the better battery life on the 10. First, the battery size now the 10r uses a 2943 mAh battery. compared to 26:58 on the 10 and also the 10 R has a lower resolution than we talked about earlier, which means the processor and GPU don't have to work as hard to output as much information, which helps lighten the load. battery, those two things together mean that generally when browsing the internet you'll get 25% more, but when you do something really intensive, like playing a high-end 3D game, you might see even longer battery life from The 10r when compared to the reason number 10, the iPhone 10 R arguably has a better portrait camera mode and that's because the 10 uses both a wide angle and a telephoto lens, which means you have to crop too far on the telephoto sensor to be able to even take a photo in portrait mode and the downside here is that you no longer have a wide angle perspective, which looks super cool for portrait shots.

The iPhone 10 R, on the other hand, uses a single camera system with an algorithm to detect edges and it does just that. a pretty good job and in some cases an even better job than a 10s, neither phone will be perfect at edge detection. Technically, the 10 might work a little better in certain cases, but because you have that wide-angle perspective, portrait photos just look. more dynamic and interesting in the 10 R, so what are the disadvantages of buying the 10 R versus the 10 s? Obviously we have the design, the 10 R has larger bezels and with a 6.1-inch screen, this phone could be a little smaller if the bezels were also smaller now that I was able to get used to the thicker bezels.

Eventually after using the device for an hour or two you will start to get distracted, you won't even notice the thicker bezel, just focus on the content I'm consuming, that's more of an increase in the size of the phone. I think that's the main drawback that says the phone is still a reasonable size, it's smaller than the 10 at most, it's a good middle ground, you get a bigger screen than the 10. I think it's the sweet spot for a lot of people. people because I think 10 shows content, especially sixteen by nine content, very, very small. Another downside to the 10r is that it doesn't have that telephoto camera, so if you're someone who likes Doom your a lot of photos I don't know how to take your photo of a concert or of your dog running through the dog park or something like that or of the mountains in the distance, the tennis will be able to take a better photo in those circumstances because it has that telephoto camera and last but not least, we have the lack of 3D Touch on the 10r.

If you're someone who uses it to constantly access secondary features on iOS, you'll miss it a lot now, as the iPhone 10 art doesn't have 3D Touch Apple included workarounds for the vast majority of 3D Touch features, for example on a iPhone 10s, when you try to move the cursor on the keyboard, you can press hard now with the 10r, long press the space bar to access the same function and move the cursor so it's not as convenient, but it still works fine and that sums it all up. I think the 10r has more advantages than disadvantages, especially if you compare it to the 10, it is cheaper.

Same level of performance, SIM camera, better battery life, better display, better portrait mode and I think overall the cons are pretty minimal for what you're getting, so if you're on the fence buy a 10 R , I would say go ahead and give it. A shot, it's a really great and impressive premium phone that I don't think will disappoint almost anyone, so that's it for this comparison with the 10 R and the 10, let me know what you think in the comments below, don't forget to subscribe if you want more awesome tech videos, particularly smartphone and laptop videos and of course if you enjoyed this video, don't forget to hit the like button, see you in the next one, Brandon.
