Apple has just announced iPhone X, also referred to as iPhone 10. It is so intelligent that it can respond to a tap, voice or even a glance.
It has 5.8-inch all screen Super Retina Display (2436 x 1125 pixels) and comes with 3D touch.. It has fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating as well.
Despite of the phone being full screen, it is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance. The iPhone X is 7.7 mm thick and weighs about 174 grams. It houses a durable glass on the front and back and a surgical-grad stainless steel frame.
Under the hood is an A11 Bionic Chip with 64-bit Architecture and Neural Engine. The A11 Bionic Chip is more than capable of doing up to 600 billion operations per second. It is said to be 70% faster than A10 Fusion. It is an hexa-core chipset with 2 performance cores (25% faster). The new Apple-designe three-core GPU is 30% faster than A10 Fusion.
The smartphone comes in 64GB and 256GB storage options. The battery inside is said to offer 2 hours more life than its predecessor. Wireless charging is also supported.
The Apple iPhone X specs include 12MP dual cameras with Quad-LED true tone flashes. One is a Wide angle camera with F/1.8 aperture while the second one houses a telephoto lens with F/2.4 Aperture. Both the rear cameras have Dual OIS and fast lens that allows one to capture outstanding photos. A 7MP camera sits at the front with BIS sensor and F/2.2 Aperture.
There is no physical home button in iPhone X. You can simply swipe up from bottom to go home. The Face ID recognition provides added security. It can quick unlock the smartphone, authenticate and pay as well.
The Face ID uses TrueDepth camera which projects more than 30000 invisible dots to create a map of your case. It is compatible with Apple Pay as well.
