We are still hungover with the presentation of Apple, although the leaks have been more contained than in recent years, the reality is that we could get a slight idea of ​​what the Cupertino company had planned to launch. We are going to show you everything you need to know about Apple's iPhone Xr like its price, features and availability. So let's take a look at this peculiar phone that the company has launched with the intention of popularizing its new all-screen design at a "reduced" price compared to the rest of the terminals in the iPhone range.
Technical specifications: The A12 Bionic is not missing
This edition of the iPhone X is cheaper, but it is clear that they were not going to reduce the power for that, that is why it is manufactured inside with the processor A12 Bionic that the Cupertino company has introduced, for example, in its new iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max terminals, that is, there is no doubt about the power that this iPhone Xr will deliver. Information about memory capacity has not been disclosed RAM that the iPhone Xr will enjoy, although it is presumed that it will have at least 3 GB of memory like the rest of the devices of the last year.
- Processor: A12 Bionic
- Conference proceedings RAM: 3 GB (to be confirmed)
- Storage: 64 GB / 128 GB / 256 GB
- Battery: Fast charging and Qi wireless charging
- Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, LTE and NFC, Dual SIM
- Waterproof: IP67K
- Safety: Face ID
On the other hand, at the level of storage They offer us three possibilities: 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, another difference with the Xs model, is the option of choosing 128 GB of storage. At the level of battery They have not shared specific data in mAh either, but it has emerged that it is capable of supporting up to 1h 30m more screen viewing than the iPhone 8 Plus, and that is enough, we imagine that the great fault of this is the A12 Bionic processor manufactured in 7 nanometers and with a spectacular energy consumption.
Design: A new range of colors and options
It is clear that Apple has to do something to attract attention with this device if it wants to achieve sales and has opted for the same move that it made in its day with the iPhone 5c, but this time well carried out. That is why the iPhone Xr will be offered in nothing more and nothing less than five different colors: Red, Gold, White / Silver, Pink, Black and Blue. Of course we are going to have something for all tastes and it joins a fashion established by brands such as Huawei and Samsung that have opted for daring colors to differentiate themselves a bit.
- Dimensions 150 x 75,7 x 8,3 millimeters
- Weight: 194 grams
- Colors: Red / Gold / White / Pink / Black / Blue
- Makings: Aluminum and glass
Meanwhile the terminal frame is made of Aluminum 7000 while the back is glass again, in appearance it is almost identical to the iPhone 8 from the back. The front is with the image that made the iPhone X trend, and it is that it effectively has a system «all screen»With the upper eyebrow which is the one that will include the Face ID system and the front camera. Lots of screen to attract a dedicated audience
Screen and camera: The two little cutouts
We started with the screen, one of the first cuts of the Cupertino company to try to adjust the price as much as possible. To do this, mount an LCD panel of 6,1 inches which according to Apple is the best in the world. For this, it mounts True Tone technology in a format Liquid Retina offering a resolution of 1.792 x 828 pixels and a density of 326 PPI, slightly below Full HD resolution. On the other hand, it has a refresh rate of 120 Hz in the capacitive sensor (the one on the screen is still 60 Hz) as a way to alleviate the loss of 3D Touch sensor, a technology that will only mount the iPhone Xs from now on.
- Display: 6,1 inches at 1.792 x 828 pixel resolution and 326 PPI density
- Main camera: 12 MP with f / 1.8 aperture and a True Tone flash with four LEDs
- Selfie camera: 7 MP aperture f / 2.2 with True Depth system
On the other hand, the camera is the other point where Apple has managed to put the scissors, we find a single sensor of 12 MP with aperture f / 1.8 and a True Tone flash with four LEDs. This camera with 1,4 micron pixels will offer almost identical functions to that of its older brother, that is, optical image stabilization, the ability to capture in portrait mode (through software) and modify the aperture that we want to apply to the camera. photograph manually. Many possibilities for a single sensor, something that is not too strange considering the Google Pixel models.
As for the front camera, we keep the format of the iPhone Xs, that is, a camera of 7 MP aperture f / 2.2 and offering support for portrait mode capabilities thanks to sensors True Depth, employees for facial recognition unlocking.
Price, availability and Dual SIM features
The Cupertino company has decided that this device will have capacity dual SIM in the West through a microSIM slot accompanied by eSIM compatibility, while in China a specific model will be offered that allows two SIM cards to be inserted simultaneously. A good mechanism for those who want to save, despite the fact that in many places the eSIM format is not yet supported. In the same way, Apple announces that the battery will not suffer thanks to the optimization that iOS 12 will carry out.
The iPhone Xr will be available from October 26, allowing the reservation of the same from October 19 at the following prices:
- iPhone Xr by 64 GB from 859 Euros
