Expert review refurbished iPhone 11 Pro

In the packaging of the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro, I find the device, a SIM needle, and a USB-A to Lightning cable. Thanks to the matte finish, the Midnight green color is even nicer than on the photos. The edges are glossy, so they stand out nicely from the matte back. My fingerprints go away very fast on the matte casing.

I can switch easily between the wide-angle, ultra wide-angle, and telephoto lens when I take a photo of the station. Thanks to the ultra wide-angle lens, I no longer have to take a step back when I use the portrait mode. Later that day, I'm in a dark bar. Before, my photo looked very blurry if I had lighting like this and the flash didn't make it better. Thanks to the night mode, I can now take beautiful photos in low light.

In addition to the triple camera, the selfie camera of the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro has also improved. I don't have 7, but 12 megapixels. This way, my selfies look sharp. In addition, the camera registers more details and I have a wider field of view. When I take a selfie with friends, the people on the edges aren't cut off. I can now also take selfies in slow-motion.

Compared to its predecessors, the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro has the brightest screen. Colors stand out from the screen when I play a game or watch a series. I find it hard to tell if I see a real difference to the refurbished iPhone Xs, for example. When I put them side by side, I do see a difference. I also notice that I can still see all the content on the screen clearly outside in the sunlight. The brightness is high, but the black tones are deeper than before.

In the refurbished iPhone 11 Pro, I find the A13 Bionic chip. I believe this is a fast chip right away. Apps start up fast and I can easily switch between different apps without my iPhone slowing down. More demanding apps like image editing apps or games, open very fast as well. When I edit a video or photo and export it, I notice how smoothly everything works. The same apps gave problems when I used them on older devices. In those cases, I noticed it slowed down and stuttered.

The refurbished iPhone 11 Pro has a good battery life. It even lasts 4 to 5 hours longer than the iPhone Xs. After a day of regular use, the phone still has more than 50% battery. I charge my phone every night, but it doesn't matter if I forget. When my iPhone is out of battery, I charge it with the 18W fast charger. After 30 minutes, I have more than 50% battery already. The iPhone 11 Pro is also suitable for wireless charging. That does a lot longer.
