Expert review Apple iPhone 11
Apple iPhone 11 64GB
- With the ultra wide-angle lens, you capture more image in 1 photo than with a wide-angle lens.
- Thanks to the fast A13 processor, your device can also handle the most demanding apps and it's future-proof.
- Take slow-motion selfies with the 12-megapixel selfie camera.
- The LCD screen hasn't been updated, so you don't have the latest screen innovation in your hands.
- A charger and earbuds aren't included, so you have to purchase those separately.
Unpacking: recognizable design with 2 cameras
Finally, there it is, the iconic white box with the brand-new Apple iPhone 11. What strikes me right away is that the design is the same on many fronts as its predecessor, the Apple iPhone Xr. The size feels the same, the front looks the same, and the bezels are made of matte aluminum. I only see the renewal when I turn the device over. There I find 2 cameras in a matte glass cover. The rest of the back is made of glossy glass.
Screen: familiar
Apple has chosen not to upgrade the Apple iPhone 11 screen. That means that the LCD screen is the same as its predecessor and has slightly more than 720 pixels. This is relatively low, considering that most modern devices have at least a 1080-pixel screen. Although the screen may be of a lower quality than comparable models, videos are still beautifully displayed. Do you want a device with the most advanced screen? Then that may be a reason not to opt for the iPhone 11.
Ultra wide angle camera: more image in one photo
Time to test the camera. On the front, the iPhone 11 has a 12-megapixel camera. You can take selfies in slow motion with this. The big improvements can be found in the 2 cameras on the back of the device. And that's very apparent. With the 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and 12-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens, I can capture even more images in 1 photo or video. In addition, I can now take even more beautiful portrait photos.
Good battery and faster processor
With the iPhone 11, I can binge my favorite series for up to 10 hours in a row. And that's perfect for me when I'm on the go for a long time and can't charge my iPhone. According to Apple, the battery of the Apple iPhone 11 lasts up to an hour longer than the battery of the Apple iPhone Xr. This is mainly thanks to the energy-efficient A13 Bionic Chip. In addition to being more economical, this chip is also faster. That means in practice that the chip in the Apple iPhone 11 is 20% faster than its predecessor. We want to note that you won't receive a charger with this device. You need to buy this separately.
Conclusion
Thanks to the very fast A13 Bionic chip, the iPhone 11 is a future-proof smartphone. The ultra wide-angle view lens is a great addition compared to the predecessor of the iPhone 11. You can capture a lot more in 1 photo, which ensures beautiful photos. The LCD screen is very nice compared to that of an iPhone 8. But a more advanced screen is what you're looking for, you should choose the iPhone 12 or newer.
