Owning the iPhone X for a month has been mostly a pleasure, but it hasn’t been the knock-your-socks off experience one would expect for a smartphone that costs more than $ 1000. It’s a four-star device, and maybe it deserves four-and-a-half stars.
Perhaps the best thing about the iPhone X is its dual-lens camera. The new Portrait mode clearly differentiates the main subject from the background, and it looks absolutely stunning. The front-facing camera, which takes outstanding selfies, is the best one available on a device. The iPhone X also takes fantastic 4K videos at 60 frames-per-second. Watching iPhone videos on a large 4K screen is a pleasure, although Apple would be wise to add in stereo audio recording in the next version of the iPhone.
