The iPhone X is a shiny new chapter in the history of Apple iPhone

Class leading performance; Gorgeous OLED screen; Excellent design and premium finish; Innovative Face ID tech; Good all round imaging capabilities

Very expensive; Battery-life should have been better; Camera still not the best

The iPhone X is a bold step forward in terms of design and capabilities with its edge-to-edge display, TrueDepth camera and Face ID, but there's also a learning curve.

Gorgeous design; Superior OLED Display; Excellent cameras; including Portrait mode selfies; Blazing A11 Bionic processor; Very good battery life; Animoji show potential of TrueDepth cam

New gestures require learning curve; Fast wired charging costs extra; Face ID not as fast as Touch ID

Editors' note, April 22, 2020: Read our iPhone SE 2020 review. Original story follows.

iPhone X remains a winning evolution of the iPhone, and is worth a look -- if you can still find it on sale.

The iPhone X delivers a great blend of handheld comfort and a big, gorgeous 5.8-inch OLED screen; The rear-facing telephoto camera outshoots the iPhone 8 Plus in low light, and the front-facing camera snaps impressive portrait mode selfies; Face ID generally works fine.

The iPhone X is harder to get following the release of the iPhone XS; The all-glass body means a case and an insurance plan are musts; Shorter battery life than iPhone 8 Plus.

Over the past few years I've openly cheated on my iPhones with Android and, on few occasions, with Windows Phone. Moving forward, as much as a serial cellular cheater can, I can see myself being monogamous with the iPhone X.

New OLED display is beautiful; Bezel-less design makes a big screen usable; A11 Bionic processor is screaming-fast; TrueDepth camera could be a game-changer

It's expensive; Face ID has a learning curve; The 'notch; Apple repairs are more expensive than any other iPhone

The iPhone X, rather like the original iPhone that launched 10 years ago (hence the use of the Roman numeral for 10 rather than the letter X), is...

Powerful processor; Superb screen; Impressive camera; Excellent apps and features; Beautiful design; Lovely build quality

The 'notch; Pricey

The iPhone X is not the phone of the future. It could be, someday, if Apple's right about augmented reality and the power of a great camera. But for now, the iPhone X represents Apple's most ambitious attempt ever at making a phone absolutely seamless.

Gorgeous design; Face ID is a great idea, mostly well executed; Lots of cameras, all of them excellent; It's faster and smoother than whatever phone you're using now

A grand is a lot to spend on a phone; Apple's love of simplicity sometimes makes everything more complicated; Goodbye, stealthy phone-checking

2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the iPhone. What I remember most about the first iPhone was my sense of astonishment. Sure, it had its flaws, but I felt like I was holding the future of computing in the palm of my hand.

Gorgeous OLED display; Face ID works better than expected; Excellent photo quality; Greatly improved processing speed

Expensive; Mixed results with Portrait Lighting; Extra caution needs to be taken with the all-glass design

The iPhone X is the most radical change to the iPhone formula ever, and despite some concerns, Apple has built a seriously impressive machine. We love its build quality and comfortable design, not to mention its expansive screen and great performance.

Impeccable build quality; Face ID generally works well; Great performance; Good main cameras get even better

The lack of a home button takes some getting used to; Not all apps use the whole screen; Portrait selfies are hit-or-miss; Battery life could be better

It's just for showoff i don't get why people buy iPhones glad i shifted from iPhone X to Galaxy S9+ the iPhone X has annoying notch also it has no headphone jack but still it is only 67 water & dust resistant on the other hand Galaxy S9+ has headphone jack & still retains IP 68 water & dust...

Face ID; AnEmoji; Stereo Speakers; 3D Touch

No Micro SD; Small Battery; RAM Management Is Worst; No Headphone Jack; IP 67; No Fast Charger In The Box; High Price; Expensive Back Replacement

The iPhone X is Apple's 10th anniversary iPhone. Announced at the same time as the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus, but going on sale a little later, the device is Apple's flagship phone and features all of its latest camera technology.
