    The iPhone is still better than Booble Pixels with poor hardware and build quality and that costs much more than the base 11.

        Anonymous, 26 Dec 2019Nobody buying outdated 720p display in 2019-20That display is 828p and not 720p.

        I have held the Redmi Note 8 Pro with 1080p LCD. The display looks cheap though sharp, because of its color reproduction. You think higher res LCD panels are always better, let me tell you they're not always the case.

        And some Samsung displays has been overlooked in terms of blueness. They are quite overblown and though bright and accurate, some models have very low PWM flicker (according to Notebookcheck), too low for an OLED panel.

        If you want a good panel then it has to be the ROG Phone 2. Not iPhone or Samsung or those cut price Chinese phones.

          For me the only winner of 2019 from Apple is the iPhone 11, because of the lower launch price compared to the XR of the year before. Even though you can get dozens of much better phones for the same price and less, the iPhone 11 is a much better deal than the 11 pro and pro max.

              Ipad 7 is just an ipad 6 with 0.5" more screen.
              Everything is same.

              I dont think it is a winner.

                Face id is not as secure as fingerprint scanner and it's unusable when you have a twin or a brother that looks very similar to you.
                The cameras of google pixel and iphone are overrated. They are only good with exposure and dynamic range but they are trash when ot comes to details and texture

                      Anonymous, 26 Dec 2019LOSER: iPhone 11 Series This series LACKS a 3.5mm headphon... moreWell if you were using an actual iPhone you’ll knew that there is something called Assistive Touch in case you encounter problems with your touch bar, home, volume or shut down button. Stop criticizing things you don’t even know well...

                        Where's the 2019 iPad Pro?

                          I understand that the AirPower is a loser for Apple but let’s be honest the 11 doesn’t deserves that title. It’s the best deal if you want a new iPhone this year. It practically offers the same as the Pro for 300$ less...

                              ASUS ROG Phone 3, 26 Dec 2019I think holiday promotions for iPhone Pro Max getting hard ... moreiPhone 11 didn't bring much improvement over iPhone XR, but both 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max had much over XS and XS Max, especially in battery life. Also iPhone XR got price cut which makes it better purchase than iPhone 11.

                                Anonymous, 26 Dec 2019Bruh, they were "rumored" to take out all the ports as well... moreOppo is already ahead with portless designs... 50watt wireless charging already.

                                  Anonymous, 26 Dec 2019What are you talking about - criticizing for not having 120... moreBasically sir...

                                  Those that are heavy gamers need a phone that is true to what the manufacter claims. Especially durability. The iPhone 11 pro max is not a heavy gaming phone.

                                  The processor gets hot quickly. There is no cooling system. And the processor is affected once it gets hot and shuts down 4x cores.

                                  Its a rear phone for camping. And that triple camera setup reminds me of a stove. In fact the iPhone can be used as a stove after 10 mins of heavy gaming. Just use the back.

                                    Why do some comments in here sound like, “Oh, the grapes are sour!!!”. Comparing iPhone with Vivo and all Chinese rip-offs is like comparing a Ferrari with a Suzuki.
                                    Last year’s A12 Bionic is still miles ahead of SD 855+, let alone A13. The iPhone 11 series has the best camera on any mobile device....its not me, noted Youtubers have reaped praises on that camera. Infact, most Youtubers have picked up iPhone 11 Pro as the best camera of 2019.
                                    The battery life is insane; nowhere lower than all the Galaxy series and the Pixel 4s and the OP phones. Yeah dnt give me the Vivo crap again, half the world doesn’t use that.
                                    Finally, gaming has always been Apple’s forte. Playing Pubg on a sub 50 dollar phone and comparing it to the gaming and graphics prowess of iPhone 11.....I can only say brother what did you smile up before writing that sh*t??

                                      Of course, people will still defend them to death, even if Apple spouts BS like users not being able to restore from Itunes so they have to visit Apple Store and only rely on "genuises" special tools etc blah blah.
