iPhone 11 - a direct successor to the iPhone the XR and the most affordable of the presented in September, Apple smartphones. He concedes iPhone Pro 11 on a number of characteristics (of them will tell later), but it stands on 30 thousand less.

Specifications

Equipment

iPhone comes with 11 classic set: documentation, stickers, headphones EarPods, cable and adapter for charging at 5 V and 1 A.

Design and Ergonomics

Smartphone iPhone XR preserved body, but received a new, more subtle colors: purple, green and yellow.

Glass back panel remains glossy, metal frame - matt.

To us the Editor smartphone arrived purple.

Square lenses in the upper left corner of the panel is made of transparent frosted glass.

The new cell block does not look as challenging as the iPhone 11 Pro. It's just two lenses in a slightly unusual module. With a horizontal orientation of the screen is not hurt the fingers of the lens (such problem have iPhone 11 Pro).

If you are used to the dimensions of the XR iPhone or most of the flagships of the market, the size of the iPhone 11, you will not confuse. It is a heavy, wide and high smartphone.

iPhone loses 11 Pro-models frameless. Indents from the body side to the display is visible.

Apple releases iPhone transparent covers 11 out of hard plastic. This model there is a case more than 11 iPhone Pro, although it is even thicker than a smartphone.

Screen

Here it sets IPS-screen, called Liquid Retina. In theory, it is inferior in the OLED-display iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro, but in reality it is almost non-existent. Peak brightness of 625 nit enough for use in bright sunlight, and the lack of Full HD resolution does not affect the use of your smartphone in the standard scenarios.

Screen size of 6.1 inches. This is more than the iPhone Pro 11, but less than the 11 Pro Max.

Software Apple chips on the spot: iPhone supports 11 and Night Shift, escapist image in warm colors for the user bedtime, and True Tone, adjusts colors for the environment.

Sound

Here installed stereo speakers, issuing a loud and clear sound. Feels like a smartphone is not inferior in this respect, Pro-version: 11 with the iPhone, you can listen to music and watch movies.

Camera

The iPhone 11 two 12-megapixel lens: wide-angle and the main ultrashirokougolny. Both are able to shoot video in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second.

Ultrashirokougolnaya camera allows you to take the shot more space or to find an unusual angle. Telephoto lens installed in the iPhone Pro 11, there is not, so do not believe it, if you see in the specifications something about the optical zoom. It refers to "zoom to decrease", ie shooting with ultrashirokougolnym lens. A fivefold increase is achieved by software.

Here are a few examples of photos taken on a new ultrashirokougolnuyu camera.

Improvements were made and the main chamber. For example, the slightly bleed the Smart HDR mode, which helps to work out the dark parts of the frame and not over-expose in this light. Such frames are obtained by shooting in automatic mode without switching lens.

Now for the shooting is not necessary to seek the face of the chamber portraits. This means that you can take a photo of any object with bokeh - this was not enough iPhone XR chamber.

12-megapixel front chamber as in the older models, taught remove rollers 4K, and from 60 FPS. The quality selfie no complaints - the examples below.

Also, the front camera is now able to shoot slow-motion video. Apple calls them sloufi. Below - a slow motion video by our leading Irene.

In all, the iPhone in 2019 adds support for night shooting. The camera is now understood in the frame when the light is insufficient, and increases the shutter speed. Everything is done automatically, there is no inappropriate operations functions. The user does not interfere with the operation of algorithms and can make night landscapes as usual.

Apple significantly redesigned interface of the camera. Some functions disappeared under the arrow at the top of the application, and appeared at the bottom of the zoom slider, automatically switching lenses if necessary. In the settings you can enable simultaneous shooting on both lenses. Then the part of the image, taken ultrashirokougolnym lens, can be added to the frame in the "Edit".

scenario has also changed for the main button. A long press automatically turns the video filming, but in order to make a series of shots, you need to move the button just to the left, leave your finger on the screen.

Performance

iPhone 11 received a new chip A13 Bionic, made by seminanometrovomu process and including six cores running at up to 2.65 GHz. RAM - 4 GB. In the AnTuTu iPhone knocked out even 11 more points than the iPhone 11 Pro - 460,777 against 454,843 - and lost only 3 iPad Pro.

Little experience of using iPhone 11 confirms that it is a very powerful smartphone. You can easily play games from the catalog Apple Arcade, Process and render portraits in the iMovie video, and the system is not nameknot that something can not cope.

autonomy

According toApple iPhone 11 - Full phone specifications GSM Arena, the iPhone's battery is installed at 3046 mAh, which is enough for 17 hours of video playback and 65 hours of music playback. This suggests that the autonomy of iPhone almost 11 bypasses the iPhone XR - the most "long-playing" Apple smartphone in 2018.

A full test of autonomy, we spend more failed: iPhone 11 simply did not have time to discharge. But feels it really should be enough for a day of active work.

The iPhone 11 adds support for fast charging of 18-watt adapter, which will have to buy separately. On the Apple device costs 2939 rubles. Wireless charging is also supported.

results

iPhone 11 gives the impression of a compromise because of the scope and size. If you use iPhone X or iPhone XS, you will physically feel its increased size and thickened edge on both sides. The remaining difference from top models to forgive seems to be much easier.

If you have not updated your "apple" smartphone or select the first, iPhone 11 - Great. This year, become the owner of Apple news is not as expensive as in the past: iPhone 11 in its minimum configuration will cost 59,990 rubles. But with the updated iPhone XR is no special meaning.
