hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and
the iPhone 11 has been out for a couple
of weeks and so far it's a pretty good
phone but I wanted to help you decide
whether or not you should pick one up
and so if you want to jump to a specific
part of this review I've listed all the
time codes in the description so you can
just jump around or whatever you'd like
to see now the first thing overall
that's great about it is its build
quality it's still the same as basically
a 10 R for example it's aluminum around
the outside edge and then you've got
glass front and back and Apple has
increased the build quality and increase
the strength of the glass it seems I
don't have any sharp edges around the
outside it just feels good overall and I
think they've improved it a little bit
now the difference between this and the
XR
is the back glass they've moved the
Apple logo 4-1 they've moved it to the
center and I think that was supposed to
be for reverse wireless charging for the
air pods for example because people that
have torn the phone apart say all the
hardware is there they just didn't turn
it on so maybe we'll see it later not
really sure but the Apple is in the
middle maybe to represent that we don't
really know since Apple didn't do this
however the back glass is really nice
it's interesting because you've got a
camera bump here but it's all one piece
of glass so it's shiny here with a matte
finish on the camera area it's reverse
of the iPhone 11 pro and pro Mac so
there's is matte on the back and glossy
around the camera bump
it's just a small differentiating factor
now overall the feel of it is good it's
the same 6.1 inch display that we had on
the iPhone 10 R and some people may not
like this but it's the same resolution
however it's the same pixel density of
326 pixels per inch and that means you
can't really see the pixels in fact
that's higher than you get with an iPad
pro for example so despite the
resolution being under 1080p you can
still watch 1080p YouTube videos it just
scales accordingly to the screen size if
I was to put this side-by-side with an
iPhone 10s max which I have done many
times or an 11 pro max most people can't
tell the difference with the exception
of the brightness of it and the very
dark blacks on the screen so when the
screen is actually dark or black in an
area it's
pixels on the pro devices whereas on
this this screen it's not doing that so
I think for most people most people
didn't complain about the 10r unless
you're into specs and technology and
things like that but overall you can't
see the pixels it looks good it's not as
bright as an OLED display that you get
on the pro devices but you get one major
advantage with this over the pro and
that is it doesn't have PWM or pulse
width modulation and that's the way an
OLED display on the pro devices actually
manages the brightness so it has to
flicker the display faster and faster to
manage brightness and an LCD like the
10r does not have that so if you feel
nauseous or nauseated by looking at one
of those displays on an iPhone 10 10 s
10 s max 11 Pro or 11 Pro max you're not
going to experience that here because
this is more similar to an iPhone 8 or a
plus for example so I think that might
be really good for a lot of people now
one in 10 people have issues with PWM or
flicker and I'm one of them and I have
zero issues with this phone so that part
I really appreciate now the next thing
is the speed of this phone the speed is
really good in fact it's got the same
processor as the pro devices so you're
not really compromising there it's super
fast it's fluid all of the time I've had
no slowdowns whatsoever and opening apps
and scrolling anything you're doing just
feels fast and fluid I've had no issues
running the public releases of iOS so if
you're on one of the betas maybe you'll
have some issues but running the public
versions I've had none whatsoever and
that leads me over to the cameras this
year's cameras are greatly improved over
last years and in fact we have two of
the same cameras we get on the pro we
have a wide and an ultra wide and we
lose the telephoto but you can zoom in
and it's still pretty clear overall and
I'll show you some of those photos in
just a moment but they're new 12
megapixel sensors that are capable of
not only great photo and video but also
really low-light photography so I've put
all of that together in a separate part
part of this video so you can take a
look at it here
recording video with the regular 1x
camera and it is stabilized
just like on the 11pro and Promax so
it's actually really nice stable footage
as I walk along here if I switch to the
ultra wide it's not stabilized but it's
pretty stable because it's so wide so
let me show you what I mean now I'm
using the ultra wide camera and while
this is not stabilized because it's so
wide it gives it more of a stabilized
look but if you wanted to walk along
with the camera I would use the 1x since
it's stabilized optically now with the
camera we have a couple new options we
have this arrow and this only appears on
the 11 and the 11 Pro devices we hit the
little arrow and we've got some options
here on the right and so we can switch
between 4:3 or 16:9 this is great for
maybe taking a thumbnail for YouTube
that's what I use it for it go back to
4:3 and then you can see we have flash
or night mode in night mode is only
going to show up if you're in an
environment where it could be used
properly so you can hit this you'll see
it on the left next to your flash and
then you can adjust the actual exposure
time and if it's on a tripod the iPhone
actually senses that and will allow you
to adjust it accordingly now right now
it's only giving giving us one second
but we'll change that in a moment but
you can back out to a wide-angle camera
you'll see we can go wide here
and you'll see even part of the tripod
that this phone is on or we can go back
to 1x we can zoom digitally but it's not
as good as if we have the optical zoom
on the pro let me show you what this can
do though when it's in night mode now
the only light in the room is from a
couple LEDs and the screens of the
iPhone that I'm recording so let's go
ahead and go to night mode here and we
can turn the exposure time up to 30
seconds there's a max of 28 to 30
seconds we'll hit the button and we'll
take the photo and you'll watch it
slowly expose it's pretty interesting to
watch this and you'll see it's got 17
seconds left it's going to expose the
image overall now when it's this dark
you can't really focus on anything but
this gives you an idea of what it can do
and it's really impressive as far as
being able to gather light because those
boxes of the iPhone that were in the
background I can't even see them now in
this current light so let's go ahead and
wait for it to finish we'll tap on the
photo and there you can see it even was
able to make out the name iPhone you can
barely read it but you can see the box
of the iPhone 11 Pro in the background
and make out some of what was going on
so it's pretty impressive it's better at
night with maybe a starry sky or
something like that I'm recording
handheld using the forward-facing camera
on the iPhone 11 and I'm actually using
the internal mic as well and this is the
same great camera that's in the 11pro
and Promax
you've got slow-motion selfies just like
you would on those devices and there's
really no compromise on the forward
facing camera whatsoever in fact I
recorded the entire 11 Pro and 11 Pro
max review video using the forward
facing camera anytime I'm on video so
you've got the same quality you get
there and depending on the sunlight it
may be even better that's not quite as
bright like today the other thing you
can do now that you have two cameras is
you can take portraits of objects where
you couldn't do that before with the 10r
you can do that now with this camera
because it's got to to sense depth so
now you can take portraits of anything
from flowers to people to animals
whatever you want it's not just limited
to mostly people now the next thing is
battery and apple says battery in the
iPhone 11 is about an hour longer than
you get with the 10 R however I find
that most people are saying about 30
minutes or 30 to 60 not 60 and over so
expect this to get you through the day
probably seven to eight hours of battery
life with screen on time and it really
shouldn't be a problem for most people
you still get fast wireless charging but
you don't get a fast charger in the box
you've still got the five watt charger
now you can pick up the charger which is
the same one from the iPad pro or you
can pick it up in the store for the
iPhone as an additional cost but it just
is kind of disappointing they didn't
include it since you get all the same
features that you get with the 11pro and
Promax as far as fast charging so if you
want one of those charges you'll have to
buy it extra now reception has actually
been quite good last year we had a bunch
of issues with the iPhone 10 R 10s and
max but I think they fixed most of most
of those this year and that's due to
this aluminum design maybe I'm not
really sure but it seems to be better
overall just in general I have stronger
signal strength I have less drops I also
have no issues on Wi-Fi and we also get
Wi-Fi 6 with the iPhone 11 just like you
do I'm the pro model so if you have a
Wi-Fi 6 router you can get faster speed
so if you have that I actually don't
have that yet but once I do get one it
will support it and will have faster
Wi-Fi speeds so that'll be really nice
to see the speakers this year are pretty
good I measured about 80 decibels at
their highest level the outside edge but
also there's no sharp edges like there
was on the XS Max for me
so that's pretty decent overall and you
get a nice wide stereo sound so you've
got that top speaker that projects
directly at you and then you've got the
bottom speaker and those together give
it a nice wide stereo sound I think it's
about the same as the 10r maybe a little
bit better but it is nice and loud and I
think it'll be great for most people if
you're not using headphones or maybe
having it in your car so when you're
just on the go or have it in a room
playing music it'll be great for most
people it's pretty clear
it only gets a little bit distorted at
the highest levels now Apple has lowered
the price this year of the eleven by
fifty dollars now I would like to see it
go even a little bit lower since a lot
of people overseas have even inflated
prices on top of what we have in the US
so it starts at $6.99 for 64 gigabytes I
think that's fine for a lot of people
I'd like to see them start at 128 for
that price and maybe have the price at
around 600 dollars since overseas it can
be hundreds more but it is $300 cheaper
than the pro models so you are getting
the same speeds a couple of the grey
cameras and a very very similar
experience with the exception of the
display as compared to the pro so
they're very very close and the pro does
get about four hours more battery than
the 11 does so just keep that in mind if
you're trying to decide is the battery
life worth the extra three hundred
dollars along with that OLED display if
you don't care about those things then
the iPhone 11 is the one for you and
then just keep in mind that
here no iPhone has 3d touch it does have
haptic touch with the majority of the
features that you got with 3d touch but
instead it's just a long press on the
display so you're not getting the same
experience it's very similar but it's
not the same if you're coming from an
iPhone 10 R it'll be identical so just
keep those things in mind if you're
trying to decide which one to get and
that's really it for the iPhone 11
there's not much more to say about it I
think it's a great phone for most people
if you really care about battery in the
display get the pro if not this is the
one for you you'll be happy with it
overall it's not as expensive and many
times you can find it in buy one get one
free deals and things like that later in
the year so just keep your eyes out for
that if you're looking for one of these
and overall it's a much better value I
think than last year but hopefully it'll
get even better in the future let me
