But for everything else, i. e., real life usability, versatility, user experience, customization, file sharing and transfer, camera quality, etc., those android phones massacred the iPhone.

Looks like a great phone. Will sell heaps in markets where the price is no problem.
Shame about all the hate coming in for the review itself but trolling is huge nowadays.
Stick to your guns GSMARENA, you gave an iPhone a positive review and some people can not cope. That is their problem not yours.

Must have been hard, so much research into stereo sound recording, or how to put bigger sensor in a phone. Though all phones lags behind if considering what tech is and was introduced, better sensor tech, 3D stereo, or even loud sound rec/ p20pro hdr, AIS/ raw/OIS/color calibration, so even if iphone faults are most visible/hearable,
May we some day welcome even camera hw shutter(or other dedicated sensors for launching) in most phones, for now sony?

Apple are the biggest rip off merchants ever, when is a phone above 700 dollars a budget device? One day the millions of isheep eyes will open and it will all come crashing down for Apple just like it did with BlackBerry and Nokia, it's just a matter of time. Apple's castle of greed and exploitation won't last forever.

AnonD-632062, 23 Oct 2018As expected, Apple iPhone XR crushes the benchmarks. The Ap... moreWell, here is a newsflash for you. There is a huuuuuge difference between being fast and being powerful.
Just because the A12 CPU is powerful, it doesn't automaticly means it's fast or faster than other phones because of it.
And also, no one cares about some benchmark scores. Because they says nothing about how good and fast the phones are in real usage.

Can't help but the thick rim makes it look a bit old fashioned. Missing 3d touch is also a no go nowadays. Should be like 600€ or $ at max!

Regarding the reviewer's comment that none of the phones support wide colour gamut, I remember reading in the review of pixel 3 by Display mate that, it supports wide colour gamut. Hope such discrepancies shall be avoided in the future.
This is the same with 3d touch. In fact even without 3d touch, a simple long press on pixels app (for instance phone, message app) opens up a number of relevant details unlike the details on pressing 3d touch. As readers this depth of analysis is what we seek from you professional reviewers and not just having superficial goody-goody words. This reduces the reputation and standard of the site.

"The display has outstanding color performance and when Apple says it has an industry-leading color performance for an LCD, we believe it."
I expected more professionalism from GSMarena than this. How difficult is it to run a DeltaE test and substantiate your argument?
There are numerous phones selling under $250 with 1080p screens. This phone starts at $750 and has a 720p screen.
