The new iPhones are already in circulation and you are probably wondering how they feel in the hand, how they handle and if they really should you even consider buying it or not. Well, possibly I will give you a more elaborate answer in the analysis that I do of the terminals, but at least I can give you a first idea that will surely help you orient yourself. This is what you must be clear about.
iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max: video contact
A déjá-vù with an obsession with photography
Let it be very clear to you: if you are waiting for something super revolutionary or a radical change, this generation is not (neither) yours. Apple has long had a very continuous philosophy in terms of design and the iPhone 11 is a new proof of this: same frames, drawing, notch and almost the same back. Even the feeling in the hand is repeated.
However, the back does have a notable change: now the word iPhone disappears and the apple is perfectly centered, although undoubtedly the more than obvious camera lenses, very prominent (by the way) around the house, they are the element that attracts the most attention.
In the case of the iPhone 11 (which seems to be an absolute copy of the iPhone XR -in fact, you would be unable to tell them from the front- we have two sensors, both 12 MP: one wide angle and one ultra wide angle. With them you will be able to have many of your photographic needs covered, also being able to switch from one lens to another both directly and through a new control dial that incorporates the camera interface that is a joy to manipulate.
With its cameras you can record even in 4K at 60 frames per second (which guarantees smoother images), enjoy a significant improvement at the level of HDR or a Night mode, which promises a lot, or enjoy a stabilization that is a real wonder, taking care of leveling and balancing small vibrations or typical tremors from when we are recording with our phone.
There is also an important change, although this time it is not visible to the eye in the frontal camera (characteristic shared with its Pro brothers), also with a 12 MP sensor, 4K recording at 60 fps and the incorporation of the Slofie, which come to be slow-motion selfie videos to which I don't predict much success or utility -but, hey, there they are.
La battery of the iPhone XR it was already quite good (it is in fact one of the qualities that users of that model appreciate the most) and with the iPhone 11, Apple claims to have improved it, squeezing it for another hour. Obviously in this first contact it is impossible to tell you what the autonomy of this phone is like, but I hope to be able to tell you more in its future analysis.
Part of the credit for this increase goes to the company's new processor, the chip A13 Bionic, which is faster, more powerful and more efficient (in different percentages that will sound like that to you, percentages, so keep in mind that it is better than its previous generation, which is the important thing). Apple needed it to be like this: not only to improve autonomy but also for the entire content management that the phone does now, especially at the camera level (keep in mind that you not only need push to record in 4K, but also to later edit this video at such a resolution with ease and comfort).
This heart is the same one that beats under the chassis of the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. The body, however, is somewhat different: there is also glass, but of a matte type, which is very elegant, and the edges are made of stainless steel. The feeling in the hand is like traditional premium than in the iPhone 11 and that in the case of the iPhone 11 Pro its size is smaller (the screen remains at 5,8″ while that of the iPhone 11 is 6,1″).
By the way, I was convinced that the max model It would be too big for me, however, it is the size (6,5″) that initially attracts me the most, possibly because of my past as a user of the Plus versions of the iPhone.
Once again, the cameras stand out especially (Apple has proposed not only not to hide them, but to make them almost the standard of this edition), with the incorporation in the Pro of one more sensor, a third, telephoto, with 2 magnifications, which will give even more play to the photography and video captured with these versions.
The improvements seen in the iPhone 11 are repeated here (both in these cameras on the back and on the front) and of course, we also have a significant battery increase: just as I told you that the iPhone XR had a autonomy fantastic, iPhone XS users complained that this was a little short, something that may change now that we have the promise of 4 more hours of battery life on the iPhone 11 Pro and 5 more hours on the iPhone 11 Pro Max – can't wait Check if the difference is really that big.
What luckily is not maintained from the iPhone 11 is the screen. And it is that unlike this one, which comes with a Liquid Retina LCD that does not reach 1080p (really, Apple, at this point?), the new Pro bet on a panel OLED Super Retina XDR that promises to honor the name of the phones. Its brightness is capable of reaching 1.200 nits and the contrast of 2.000.000: 1 (for you to have some perspective, the iPhone 11 has 1.400: 1).
It is a joy to watch videos on your screen, although it seems to me that their cameras are a matter of weight to think about the purchase of these Pro versions (together with the battery), as long as, of course, it is something of vital importance to you. In any case, it is early, very early, to make such an assessment: it will be necessary to analyze them in depth to assess whether it is worth spending the money they are worth. For now, yes, we leave you with some first comparative examples at a photographic level in our video (iPhone 11 Pro vs Samsung Note 10 and Google Pixel 3) so that you can open your mouth.
At first I would dare to say that the iPhone 11 will be the iPhone of the masses, that worthy successor to the XR model with which people will be content to be able to say and feel that it has "the latest from Apple", while the Pro will be aimed at a more select audience.
In any case, what has been said: in the respective analyzes of the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro we will discuss more about it. Stay tuned.
Thanks to goldenmac for the transfer of the new iPhone 11 for the realization of these first impressions
