Consumer Report: iPhone X has a great camera, but final score is below Galaxy S8

06 December 2017
The phone is fragile and the battery isn't great, which hurt its standing.

David Lane, 06 Dec 2017Of course is the S8 camera much better than any existing iP... moreI agree about DXO but i disagree about S8 the camera is far from impressive sorry.

Its feel like a S7 camera with better software trick.

    Anonymous, 06 Dec 2017The test they did to the phone is actually an exaggeration.... moreIF you put a case on it its be fine.

    Anyone drop phone so if you go naked its gonna break very easily from 3 foot drop.

    Take an essential phone by example just put a tempered glass on the screen and drop it.
    Its wont break and in fact its so solid that its gonna mark your floor ( i know i experienced it and ended getting a very thin transparent case to protect my floors... )

    Why Apple did not use Titanium and Ceramic in such a pricy device is beyond me.

      Anonymous, 06 Dec 2017So people prefer a phone that is worse than its predecessor... moreYou've no idea about the capabilities of one of the best smartphone ever made, the S8. Obviously you don't have any idea about sales even.

        Be Nice To Others, 06 Dec 20174K@60fps of the iPhone X probably means its standard 4K@30f... moreSmoking too much crack i guess.

        That only mean they put the appropriate capacity in the SOC itself not that its take higher quality video and downscale it lol.

        Also pixel two destroy iphone in video quality is identical but its MUCH more stable.

              So people prefer a phone that is worse than its predecessor? (Same performance, similar camera, worse battery than S7 edge)

              Rrrright, sales will show the truth (s8 is on pace of s6, the worse selling s phone of late, iphone x on the other hand is on pace of destroying all revenue records of the past)

                It doesn't matter how care you have. Usually is a matter of luck. Last time my phone met the floor was simple, I put it above some books on the table, someone put a paper on the phone covering it and my mother without watch the phone taked the books... the phone flew across the room until it crashed and then fell to the ground.... Now I take in account these and other test if I'm going to buy an expensive phone.

                  Lack of a home button is just short adjustment period? Are you kidding me? The user experience on X is completely botched, apple constantly increases difficulty to handle iphone from ios to ios. Functions that previously took 1-2 actions now take 3-4 and they all include complicated gestures and uncomfortable presses.
                  Really, ios is not built to be without home button, and with the direction of the full screen with rounded corners, the bizarre "home" line, and the f@cking notch X is the worst iphone device ever revealed.
                  Don't be fooled by the order numbers, all retailers order the phone but they will get stuck with huge amounts of non purchased devices and apple will have to collect them back. I guest you will not hear about that in media.

                    Consumer = fans = bias.

                      Of course is the S8 camera much better than any existing iPhone. DxOMark is a f***ing dirty corrupted organization. You pay more you get better score and we all know Apple is dirtiest company on the earth, they paid enough to get best socre but consumers are different. Not all people are dumb like iSheeps, so many people don't care about the logo on the phone, they care about price and quality. Don't forget DxOMark not gonna make your pictures and videos more beautiful. Don't be an iDiot.

The primary camera on the x is 12MP which can basically capture up to a 4K image. to get 6K, you will need a 19MP sensor minimum. True it has a dual lense setup but each have different purposes and different lens angle/ they wont stack when used.

                                  IPhone 8 Plus actually has worse battery life than X, I wonder what weird method they use to test the battery.

The test is not much exaggeration if you consider your phone falling like 50 times within 5 years or so. Lets just admit its a pretty phone with not much to offer. All it gives you is financial trouble.
