iPhone X review: The best damn product Apple has ever made

For over a decade, iPhone has embodied modern mobile computing. iPhone 8, launched last month, is the culmination of that Home-button-and-bezel vision, of everything that's come before. iPhone X (pronounced "Ten"), launching now, is something else entirely — the beginning of what comes next.

The two phones have many things in common, including the A11 Bionic processor inside, inductive charging on the back, along with Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting on the rear camera system. Both are water resistant, have the same high-speed wireless radios, and 64 GB and 256 GB storage options.

What iPhone X doesn't have — aside from a gold color option — is a Home button, Touch ID, and bezels. Apple has deleted all of them. And, in their place, created new, gesture-based navigation, Face ID, and the TrueDepth camera system.

The result is a display that goes edge-to-rounded-edge, wrapped in a design that harkens back to the original iPhone while still looking like something straight out of sci-fi. Starting at $999.

So, is iPhone X — wait. Stop the review and rewind that. I can't stick to being purely analytical with this one.

I've now spent a week with iPhone X as my primary device. So far, it's the most fun I've had with any gadget since the original iPhone. I'm not being hyperbolic here. There are shortcomings. There are things I'd love to see changed. But I can't stop using it. The new display is beyond gorgeous. HDR is glorious. Fluid navigation gestures are sublime. Face ID is so fast I'm forgetting I have a passcode. Attention aware interactivity is the bomb.

I'll still walk you through all the little details and give you a ton of #protips. I'll still share plenty of gripes. And I'll update this review throughout the next week and month. But know that I'm going to be smiling the whole time. Because iPhone X might just be the best damn product Apple has ever made.

iPhone X in Brief

For people who want:

• Edge-to-edge design.
• Optically stabilized ƒ/1.8 and ƒ/2.4 dual-lens rear camera.
• Depth-aware front-facing camera.
• Face detection biometrics.
• Tomorrow's iPhone today.

Not for people who want:

• Classic iPhone design.
• Home button.
• Fingerprint identity biometrics.
• Gold or other color options.
• Lower pricing.

If you want a familiar iPhone experience, iPhone 8 is ready and waiting for you. If you want a radical new design, with as close to an edge-to-edge OLED display as possible, a TrueDepth camera and Face ID on the front and an even-better-than-iPhone-8 dual camera system on the back, and you have the cash for it, then get iPhone X and enjoy not only tomorrow's iPhone today, but the best damn product Apple's ever made. And that's saying a lot.

Best New Phones Coming Soon

It's always the way that as soon as you upgrade your phone something better comes along, so should you upgrade now or wait? We outline details of the best new phones set to arrive within the next few months to help you make a decision.

Highlights:

• Huawei Mate 10 - on sale 17 November
• OnePlus 5T - 16 November launch
• Huawei P11 - Potential February 2018 launch
• LG G7 - Potential January 2018 launch
• Samsung Galaxy S9 - Potential January 2018 launch
• Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini - Potential January 2018 launch
• HTC U12 - Potential May 2018 launch

We've seen some great go on sale over the past few months, including the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Nokia 8, Moto Z2 Force, LG V30 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. Now that these are available to buy we have removed them from this round-up.

If you're in the market for a newyour choices available right now are pretty good, but it's always the way that as soon as you take the plunge and upgrade something better comes along and you regret your decision. In this article we outline the phones that will be released over the next few months to help you decide whether or not to wait.

If you can hang on to early 2018 then the new line of flagships for 2018 will begin to arrive, including the Galaxy S9, LG G7, HTC U12, Sony Xperia XZ1 Premium and OnePlus 6.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Huawei unveiled its Mate 10 Pro on 16 October, which goes on sale in the UK on 17 November at £699.

Huawei is keen to call the Mate 10 Pro an ‘intelligent machine’ rather than a smartphone. It runs the Kirin 970 processor, along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage, but with no microSD slot. The chip has a built-in neural processor that allows the Mate 10 Pro to do a lot of stuff offline that was previously possible only by using cloud services, including improve photography.

There's a 6in 18:9 OLED screen, dual speakers, USB-C and dual rear cameras. It’s a dual-SIM phone with 4G VoLTE support for both slots.

It’s also one of the first phones to support Cat18 LTE (also rumoured for the Galaxy S9), which theoretically offers up to 1.2Gb/s download speeds, but you’re not going to be able to use that capability until UK operators roll out support on their side.

Huawei P11

Tipped for February's MWC tradeshow, the P11 will be successor to the company's current flagship, the P10.

In common with the Mate 10 it will likely get the Kirin 970 chip, which Huawei claims delivers 25 times better CPU performance and 50 times greater energy efficiency.

Very little is known about the P11, but rumours suggest it could copy sister company Honor's latest flagship and ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack.

LG G7

The LG G6 (pictured) hasn't been around for long but there are already some rumours emerging about the next model.

It's thought that the firm will release the LG G7 as early as January 2018 pegging the launch at CES 2018. This would give it a head start against major rivals such as the Galaxy S9.

Another rumour suggests that LG is already wroking with Qualcomm and the G7 will be the first with its new Snapdragon 845 

Nokia 9

The new Nokia 8 is now on sale but we're still waiting for an announcement on the Nokia 9, which is expected to be the more exciting of the two.

The Nokia 9 was thought to be an upgraded version of the Nokia 8 with a larger 5.7in 18:9 display and an extra 2GB of RAM, but the latest leaked images show a standard 16:9 display.

We should see a dual-camera - potentially 13Mp with separate RGB and monochrome sensors. A 13Mp selfie camera may also be found at the front. This is the setup seen in the Nokia 8, which also boasts Bothie photos - snaps that combine images from the front- and rear cameras to create a fuller picture.

Also new in the Nokia 8 is 360-degree Ozo audio recording, which we're sure will also make its way to the Nokia 9.

The Nokia 9 is thought to be the flagship in Nokia's Android phone family, and as such will likely run the 10nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with Adreno 540 GPU, plus 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

OnePlus 5T

The OnePlus 5T is no longer a rumour and will be unveiled by the this week. It will then go on sale on 21 November, probably at £449.

The upgraded phone will likely feature an 18:9  making it a closer rival to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and a better fit for the flagship killer it wants to be.

Samsung Galaxy S8 mini

Samsung hasn't produced a mini version of its flagship S-series handset since the Galaxy S5 mini, and given how close we now are to the Galaxy S9 launch it probably never will. However, with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ larger than ever customers who want a compact but high-performance smartphone are not satisfied.

Rumours suggest a Galaxy S8 mini with a 5.3in screen (that feels much smaller given the curved edges), Snapdragon 840 processor, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and an iris scanner is in development in Korea. Such a  has recently popped up on Geekbench too, suggesting a launch could be imminent.

Samsung Galaxy S9 & Galaxy S9+

We're now into the second half of 2017, which means we're starting to see rumours of new  that will rock up in early 2018 too. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will be the biggest and baddest of the lot, continuing to perfect what have so far shaped up to be the best phones of 2017.

New in the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is likely to be the 7nm Snapdragon 845 or 8nm Exynos 9810 processor and dual-lens rear cameras, plus fingerprint scanners embedded into the Infinity display.

Performance will definitely get a boost, and we might see Samsung finally go above the 4GB of RAM seen in the company's previous flagships. The is not likely to change significantly, and hopefully neither will the price.

It's possible we'll see the Galaxy S9 earlier than ever in 2018, copying the LG G7 with a January launch event.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Mini

Earlier in this article you'll have read rumours about a Galaxy S8 Mini. However, as we approach the Galaxy S9 release date it's looking more likely that if such a phone exists it will be the Galaxy S9 Mini, not the Galaxy S8 Mini.

There's very little to go on right now, but one mobile leakster has suggested Samsung is working on a 5in phone with a full-screen Infinity Display.

It sounds a lot like a potential Galaxy S9 Mini, but it could equally be an update to the Galaxy A series. We'll have to wait and see.

Samsung Galaxy Note X

The bendable phone will finally become a reality in early 2018 if rumours are to be believed. Samsung is allegedly going to ship 100,000 units of its Note-branded Galaxy X foldable phone in the third quarter of this year, though expect it to be expensive.

The Galaxy Note X, previously known as Project Valley, is thought to be a smartphone with a dual-screen (one on each side) that folds out to reveal a 7in An 8in tablet that folds up into a 5in phone has also been rumoured.

Snapchat Smartphone

Okay, let's be honest here, we're not actually entirely convinced that a Snapchat smartphone will ever exist, let alone become a reality in 2017. We think it more likely the company is working on a connected camera, but there is certainly talk of a Snapchat phone.

Should a Snapchat smartphone come to reality it will likely be the ultimate selfie phone, and perhaps the first phone to feature a 360-degree camera

Removable Battery Vs Non-Removable battery

If you’re looking at buying a new phone you’ve undoubtedly, at some point, come across the debate between removable and non-removable battery types. For most people, it will be an inane question rather low on the list of specifications, but for a number of consumers it can be a huge sticking pint.

Phone buyers have had a love-hate relationship with their mobile batteries. From the bricks that would last days to the sleek one-day-use units we see in modern phones, removable and non-removable battery packs have also split or annoyed users for decades.

A huge proportion of modern smartphones and tablets now come with non-removable batteries, compared to the removable battery formats of their ancestors.

So what are the advantages of the two types of battery design and why do manufactures constantly chop and change their format?

Removable Battery

Removable batteries are batteries that are designed to be taken out of the host device.

Advantages

• Hard restart. The old adage “Have you tried turning it on and off again” is often the fix for many of the world’s tech problems. Although whipping your battery out at the first sign of trouble if not often the best idea (it can be damaging in some circumstances) this ‘hard restart’ method is proven to work when all else is frozen and the manual restart won’t work.
• Easy to dry. If you do happen to get a little too much water on a phone, removable batteries have a slight advantage over their sealed counterparts as you can try and get said battery out before it has time to short. You can then dry the separate component and pray to the god of tech for compassion.
• Replaceable. Unfortunately, batteries don’t last forever, and frankly modern batteries don’t last that long at all so buying a replace is a good fix for when your old power source is just not holding its charge.

 Disadvantages

• Untraceable– this might be an advantage for some, but for most people, if your phone is stolen and the battery is removed, it’s effectively untraceable (digitally).
• Damage– removing a battery usually requires the phone to be literally cracked open, meaning the internal working of the phone have a higher chance of damage or contact with dust and dirt
• Size– Phones with removable batteries tend to have a slightly larger frame size as the battery is not sealed or manufactured into the closed case.

Non-Removable Battery

Ok so that’s removable, so guess what no removable is…? Yep as the name suggests, non-removable batteries are not designed to be taken out of the phone/tablet by the consumer.  In fact many non-removable batteries are literally built into the device, meaning the battery pack cannot be separated from the device.

Just a note here, it is sometimes physically possible to remove a number of the non-removable batteries, however there is a substantial risk the device will be damaged if you do, as well as a risk to the user if you puncture the battery whist trying to remove it. A few non-removable batteries are simply glued or clipped in, but tampering with the battery will likely result in a voided warranty. Once again, it’s possible, but just don’t bother.

Ok back to the battery;

Advantages

• Less parts that can break– Very difficult to get inside the phone and tamper with delicate parts, that could cause damage.
• Less gaps– Literally less room for dust or dirt to access the device, and no chance for dirt to be transported in through changing a battery
• Slimmer battery– Phone manufacturers can make their phone slimmer as the battery unit is designed and seal together.
• Single frames or ‘unibody design’ are usually more solid than phones with battery ‘doors’ and often look far sleeker.

Disadvantages

• Battery issues are terminal. This is the big disadvantage of sealed units, if your battery malfunctions or begins to fail, you’re stuck with it, as it cannot be (easily) replaced. In most cases you’ll need to replace the whole phone for a simple battery fault.
• No Battery Boost. As you can’t remove the battery it’s impossible to swap it out for a spare or even upgrade to something more powerful.
• No hard restart– if the phone freezes as you can’t whip the battery out, you’ll just have to wait for the battery to die or hope the manual restart works.
• Water damage. Ok, this one is a little on both advantage and disadvantage because it’s difficult to prove, but in our experience, getting water in a non-removable sealed phone is terrible. Unlike a removable battery, where you can attempt to dry out the innards before the battery can short the phone, sealed units with non-removable batteries struggle to dry out before damage is done.
