The new mode will make a serious difference to difficult lighting situations, and needs to be seen to be believed, pulling brightness from almost complete black. Low-light image quality has been an iPhone weak point for several years now, and the new mode works very well to counteract this - being a strong competitor to the likes of ‘Night Sight’ on the Google Pixel 4. It has Apple’s new Night mode, which merges nine exposures to get the same kind of bright, high dynamic range shots you might get from a Huawei P30 Pro. The iPhone 11 does have some real advantages, though. The iPhone 11's camera (Image credit: TechRadar)Ī zoom is likely more important in making people’s images 'better', as so many of us still use digital zoom rather than moving to compose with a standard 26mm-ish lens. Want to get closer to the action without moving? You need a zoom. If you want to capture a big group of people or emphasise the scale of a building, you want an ultra-wide. If you want optical zoom in a new iPhone, you’ll have to upgrade to the iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, which costs around $300 / £300 more.Īll four of these phones’ rear cameras have 12-megapixel sensors, but is an ultra-wide better than a zoom? It depends on context. Both phones have dual rear cameras, but where the iPhone XS’s second camera has a telephoto lens with 2x magnification, the iPhone 11 has an ultra-wide lens. The iPhone generation camera comparison is a little challenging. But equally you could argue the extra size makes the iPhone 11 better for both video and games, even if they aren’t always quite as sharp when you look critically. Side by side the iPhone XS will likely look a bit bolder than the iPhone 11. Apple rates the iPhone 11 at 625 nits, and most readings say the iPhone XS manages slightly over 600 nits, both will suffice for a bright day outdoors. However, Apple uses some of the best LCD panels around, so don’t think this is a reason to turn your nose up at the iPhone 11. Colors on both units are satisfying, however the LCD screen on the iPhone 11 is very color accurate. The iPhone 11 has an LCD screen with a universal backlight, which means blacks won’t look perfectly black in a very dark room. Apple’s iPhone XS features an OLED panel with almost infinite blacks and very deep, rich color with plenty of pop. Both achieve a ‘Retina’ screen, meaning a real difference in sharpness will not be noticeable to the naked eye from a distance, but those looking close for one will find it. The older iPhone XS has a higher pixel density, with 1125 x 2436 pixels to the iPhone 11’s 828 x 1792. And the tech behind the surface is completely different. Both have the classic iPhone notch style, first begun by the iPhone X, which doesn't help comparisons.Īpple’s new iPhone 11 has a slightly larger screen, at 6.1 inches to the iPhone XS’s 5.8 inches. The displays of these phones are very different, even if they do look similar at arm’s length. Both phones also have water resistance tested at 2m depth for 30 minutes. There is one practical design benefit to the iPhone 11, though, as it has tougher glass than the iPhone XS. The bezel surround the screen is also slightly thicker in the iPhone 11, just as they were in the iPhone XR - though this is a byproduct of the LCD screen technology used. As aluminium is softer than steel, the iPhone 11 is also a little more susceptible to scuffs and dings than the iPhone XS. This is a classic case of ultra-high-end meeting simply 'normal' high-end design clashing. Apple uses aluminium in the iPhone 11, stainless steel in the iPhone XS. Glass panes sit on the front and back, a band of metal runs around the sides holding them together. The iPhone 11 in its many colors (Image credit: Apple)īoth phones are a metal and glass sandwich.
