The iPhone X was the most advanced and most pricey iPhone manufactured by Apple in 2017. It was announced as a celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Apple alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. Let’s find the full specifications and latest price of the iPhone X in Nepal here.

iPhone X Overview

Display

Apple had been using the moniker ‘Retina Display’ with the use of IPS LCD panels and packing slightly more than 300PPI pixel density. Now the new iPhone’s display comes with a Super Retina moniker which uses an OLED Screen with a resolution of 2436 x 1125 pixels packing 458 PPI pixel density. The presence of OLED will ensure the iPhone X has a more vivid display and punchy colours than the traditional iPhones.

Design

The iPhone X’s 5.8-inch encompasses almost all of the device’s front surface. The ultra-thin bezels have made the device remarkably more compact and come in almost the same size as that of 4.7-inch iPhone 7.

And focusing on the bezel-less design, Apple had to bid farewell to its iconic circular home button on the chin. It is now replaced with an intuitive swipe gesture, which can be used to get back to home screen, multitask apps, access recent apps, etc. Along with the home button gone, it took away the fingerprint sensor that used to reside on it.

However, Face Recognition Technology has been introduced to maintain the security intact. In terms of build material, the iPhone X sports an all-glass enclosure with a stainless steel band to add some rigidity.

Bionic Neural Processor

Powering the iPhone X is a hexacore A11 Bionic neural processor. The processor includes two performance cores which are 25% faster, four high-efficiency cores that are 70% faster, a second-gen Apple-designed performance controller that has 70% multi-thread workloads, and an Apple-designed GPU with 30% faster processing speed. The new chipset included on the device flaunts high processing speed and power-efficient operation.

Wireless Charging

With the iPhone X, Apple welcomed the wireless charging system. This feature is not limited to the iPhone X but is available for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus models. Apple has been closely working with Qi for the inclusion of Wireless Charging Technology. The new iPhones, however, will only be charged with wireless pads that are Qi-certified.

Camera

With the iPhone X, Apple has included a dual camera. But this time, the cameras are oriented in a vertical configuration. The 12MP dual camera setup on the rear panel of the iPhone X has a 12MP wide-angle lens and a 12MP telephone lens with the aperture being f/1.8 and f/2.4 respectively. The notable difference to the iPhone 7 Plus is the presence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) on both lenses.

In terms of photography, the iPhone X has Apple’s new Portrait Light mode, which offers to alter the lighting conditions in a shot. On the videography, all the newbies will be capable of recording 4K videos up to 60fps frame rate and 1080p videos up to 240fps.

Up front, there is a 7MP front camera. In addition to Portrait mode, the new iPhones include Apple’s new Portrait Lighting mode. This mode allows the user to alter the lighting conditions in a selfie.

Face Recognition

Removing the Touch ID, Apple opted to use facial recognition as a primary biometric security feature for the exclusive flagship. With the aid of an infrared camera, flood illuminator and dot projector, the iPhone X is capable of detecting and analyzing faces at a high rate of accuracy, irrespective of the lighting conditions and alterations like a change in hair/beard styles and eyeglasses.

Animojis

With the advanced arrays of front-facing cameras and sensors, the iPhone X is capable of capturing and translating facial movements into animated emojis.

IP67 water-resistant rating

Huawei unveils the Honor V10; showcases facial recognition and Animoji

Huawei unveils the Honor V10; showcases facial recognition and Animoji

Honor V10 is the newest phone from Huawei. It was released last night and the device comes with a few new tricks and optimistic comments. The V10 is just a cheaper variant of the Mate 10 series. The Chinese manufacturers also showcased their own Face ID and Animoji, which isn’t available on any Huawei device, yet. The star of the show was certainly the Honor V10, though.

Huawei Honor V10

The Honor V10 features an almost 6-inch 1080*2160 resolution display, up to par with the Mate 10 Pro. However, the V10 has an LCD display as compared to an AMOLED on the Mate 10 Pro. The other feature it took from the Mate 10 is its 3.5mm headphone jack.

Android Oreo comes out of the box on all of these smartphones, with EMUI 8.0 on top. Also, the V10 along with the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro features Huawei’s top of the line Kirin 970, and a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. RAM options also include 6GB with cheaper 4GB variant also available. The device posted an Antutu benchmark of 165,587, which is quite impressive and up to par with all of the high-end flagships.

The camera sensors have more megapixels on the Huawei Honor V10. The front features a 13MP f/2.0 sensor and the back has a dual 16MP+20MP camera setup, but whether this can reflect on the camera performance of the phone, we will have to wait and see.

1 of 4

To quote what GSMArena said,

“It’s as if the Honor V10 took most of the best specs of the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro and mashed them together.”

That being said, it’s disappointing to see no waterproofing in this phone. The battery is comparatively smaller at 3750mAh (fast charging supported). However, you won’t be seeing much of a difference. Finally, the color options include Beach Gold, Aurora Blue, Charm Red, and Night Black.

The best part as mentioned earlier was the pricing, starting at $410 for the 4GB/64GB variant, $450 for the 6GB/64GB one, and finally $530 for the top tier 128GB storage variant. Availability as of now is restricted to China, but we assume it will be available in other regions pretty soon.

Facial Recognition Technology

Remember the iPhone X’s FaceID, yes, this technology is almost the same thing. The only thing is, Huawei claims it’s even better than the one in the iPhone X. They are working on their own structured light 3D sensor on the front, building a full detailed 300,000 points of your face in just 10 seconds.

The FaceID will unlock your phone in as low as 0.4 seconds, whereas its fingerprint sensor will do it in 0.2 seconds. This authentication can also be used for secure money transactions as well.

Animojis

Yes, the same Animoji the iPhone X comes with. It’s starting to become a trend for Huawei to compete with Apple. Huawei’s Animojis also support tongue. We cannot say the same about the ones on the iPhone X. So, now your Animojis look even more ridiculous than it already was.

Both the new features aren’t supported on the Huawei Honor V10. Maybe they are saving it for the P11, or maybe it isn’t ready yet.

Hands-on with Vivo V7

Vivo V7 comes with the compact form factor and minimal bezels prioritizing the major portions to the display. The device is wrapped in a polycarbonate body with metallic texture. So, it offers a premium feel and mimics robustness of the metal-built smartphones. Probably the lack of metal body is the thing here; the smartphone is remarkably light on the hold and comfortable on the use.

On the front part, the major portion of the device is covered by the display bordered by minimum bezels. The device possesses a 5.7 inch IPS LCD display featuring an HD+ (1440 x 720 pixels) resolution. The display on the device is a FullView one with the aspect ratio of 18:9. Having the trendy FullView display on the smartphone has brought the device to a new level. However, the resolution of the device (which is quite low in my opinion) bothered me since the very beginning. Although the resolution on the Vivo V7 results in the pixel density of 282PPI, the display seemed decent on my use and I did not find the display pixelated under my supervision.

The device is powered by power efficient Snapdragon 450 chipset, manufactured under 14nm nanometer technology. For the Graphics portion, there is an Adreno 506 GPU. On my short use of the device, on loading apps and multitasking with them, I did not feel any lags and stutters. The device ran smoothly all the time. But as it was on the short time use, I would like to hold my verdict regarding the performance. We will let you know about the performance of the Vivo V7 in detail in our full review. So, please like our Facebook and Subscribe to our YouTube Channel, where we keep our things posted.

The device comes with Android Nougat out of the box with FunTouch OS 3.2 on the top. The UI on the device closely resembles with the iPhones. Swiping the screen down shows the notification panel whereas swiping up reveals the toggle panel. The device also possesses galore of features on the software side like gesture mode, smart wake, split screen, etc. and it was fun to make use of them.

In terms of memory, the device boasts 4GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. With the price tag, the internal storage does not seem to be fitting in my opinion. With the firmware devouring one-fourth portion of storage, the available storage may not plenty for many of the users. So, opting for a 64GB would have been a better choice with the Vivo V7. However, there is a dedicated slot for the SDcard. So one does not have to cut the privilege of using two SIM cards just for employing an SDcard.

The Vivo V7 is a camera-centric smartphone with 24MP selfie shooter and 16MP rear camera. The 24MP selfie shooter promises a clearer selfie and on my use, the device delivered as promised. Packing a plenty amount of details and with the natural-looking beautified images, the device lured me all along. Though the rear camera lacks dual-camera setup, it also performed well on my use. With the vibrant and well-detailed shots and speedy shutter, the device was fun to play with. But as mentioned earlier, the results were during the use on a short time period, which may not be consistent all the time. So please wait for our well-detailed review, where we will dissect the specs and features further. Till then keep on tuning to GadgetByte Nepal and have a great day ahead.
