A Few Ways The iPhone X Beats Pixel 2 XL
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
Today, we are seeing two top
smartphones competing in the market. It’s time for us, the average buyers, to
decide which device to buy. Although the Pixel 2 XL is a good high-end
smartphone, there are a few good reasons why you should choose iPhone X instead.
The iPhone X 64GB currently retail at $999. How much, I hear you shout, but you
have to pay a high price for great quality. Other ways
- Edge-to-edge display: The seemingly
never-ending screen of the iPhone X mesmerizes us. The screen directly
connects to the side frame and it’s quite a sight. With the Pixel 2 XL,
Google still flirts with the use of bezels in its design and although the
device looks elegant, it’s still appears relatively old school compared to
the iPhone X. We have seen how a new iPhone models sets a standard for
subsequent Android smartphone models to follow. So, it is guaranteed that
we will soon see more and more Android devices with edge-to-edge display.
Although the pixel density of the iPhone X is lower than the Pixel 2 XL,
it has a higher display to body ratio at 82.9 percent. The display of the
iPhone X supports pressure sensitivity, which adds new capabilities with
apps.
- Apple AR: Apple AR isn’t just any AR
and it’s not a typical gimmick that’s usually bundled with a smartphone. Sony
Xperia offered AR features a few years ago
and it’s largely forgotten.
- Facial recognition: iPhone X offers
one more thing that eases transaction process. Face ID scans your facial
muscles and verifies your identity. For some people, this could be a
concerning and very real privacy issues, but Apple is known for its
reputation, so we shouldn’t be worried about the misuse of our personal
information. In the future, Face ID can be made even more mature by
integrating AI to understand facial expressions, so content can be
provided accordingly.
- Better wireless charging: It has
been known that iPhone is not always a cutting-edge device. Android
smartphones may already include specific features years before Apple
finally decide to offer them. In this case, wireless charging is also
available on numerous Android devices. Although early performance can be
sub-par, additional software updates should ensure that iPhone X can be
charged faster wirelessly.
Fashion appeal: In reality, not too many people around the world know about Pixel 2 XL. But, they often can easily recognize an iPhone device. For fashion-conscious people, this should be a compelling reason to purchase. The prestige of using an Apple device is still a large part of the buying decision.
