Julian Chokkattu/Digital Trendsįace ID is the primary way you will unlock the phone, and it works just as fast as on the iPhone XS. And it’s not as cumbersome as the 6.5-inch XS Max, which is undoubtedly a two-handed phone. It’s not as easy to use one handed as the 5.8-inch iPhone XS, but we can still reach most parts of the screen. At 6.1 inches, it sits right in between the flagships (slightly smaller than Samsung’s Galaxy S9 Plus). ![]() The iPhone XR does have the advantage of being the perfect size for people who find the XS too small and the XS Max too big. We think the screen will be good enough for most people, but it’s among the XR’s few shortcomings. The screen is colorful, and it’s plenty bright enough for use outdoors. Black levels aren’t as deep as the OLEDs on the XS and XS Max, but they’re close. That said, it’s difficult to find much else wrong with the display. Even the $530 OnePlus 6 has 2,280 x 1,080 resolution. We think Apple could have added at least a 1080p screen here - you’ll hardly find an Android phone in this price range with such a low-resolution screen. Look closer and pixels will start to be visible. Apple calls it the Liquid Retina Display, and while the screen resolution may sound a little low, it looks sharp at the distance you typically hold your phone. That’s good, because the XR has a large 6.1-inch LCD screen with 1,792 x 828 resolution. ![]() ![]() There's loads of things you can select, tweak and change about the Memoji and then, once complete, you can use the iPhone XS' scanner to pose the avatar as you wish.īefore long you'll be communicating via Memoji every single day.We feel like Gollum, admiring the beauty of the one ring. ![]() You can access the Memoji creation tool by expanding the Animoji selection window by swiping up and then pressing the plus button in the top left. The results, we think it fair to say, were mixed.Īpple's advanced Face ID tech though, with state-of-the-art facial scanner, has allowed the iPhone XS to introduce Memoji, which is by far the most accurate system we've seen for the creation and then posing of miniature cartoon versions of you. Memoji on iPhone XS is the best-in-class AR avatar system going today.Īnimoji on the iPhone X set the standard for AR avatars running into 2018, with a slew of rivals including Samsung (AR Emoji) and Huawei (3D Qmoji) then attempting to build their own versions of the system that allowed human avatars to be built, too. You can customise what is displayed too (in settings), so you can quickly tailor the Control Center to be bespoke to you as well. When Apple removed the Home Button from its devices it introduced a series of new gestures (see below) to help user's navigate their devices, but among the flurry of new navigation functionality one of the best, most empowering ways to interact with the iPhone XS kind of took a back seat - Control Center.īy simply swiping down from the top right hand corner of the iPhone XS' screen (we're talking about the black bar located to the right of the notch) you can quickly transition into Control Center, which itself allows instant access to a plethora of used-ever-day options, settings and modes.įor example, with a simple button press in Control Center you can turn on and off Bluetooth, enable or disable Torch mode or a portable hotspot, control music playback, adjust volume and brightness settings, and even access more niche things like Magnifier. So much is instantly accessible in Control Center via a single swipe. ![]()
