Review on πŸ“± Renewed Apple iPhone XS Max, US Version, 64GB in Silver from T-Mobile by Ada Zieleniewska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I have been using Samsung devices for a very long time (currently Galaxy note 8) - the new models disappointed me, I am waiting for Note11 / S11 +, therefore, being on a business trip in Hong Kong in the summer, I decided to take the Iphone XS Max as an experiment. The device is not bad, it does not cause rejection, it is very balanced, without obvious flaws, but in my opinion, in the development cycles and the convenience of everyday use, android has gone far ahead. I can definitely recommend buying, in the segment up to 55-60 thousand (you can buy it both in Hong Kong and on ebay, but without a 2022 guarantee, which for some reason is very important to many).

Pros
  • 1. True-tone technology is really a very useful feature. In the dark, in bright light, in dimly lit places, the backlight and color tone of the display gives the most comfortable level for the eyes. The matrix itself is really excellent, at the standard level for the flagships of the market. ; 2. The sound from the speakers is very loud, bassy and of high quality (both from external and from spoken); 3. Face ID- works always, everywhere and under any conditions: in pitch darkness, when tilted at an angle, if you are wearing glasses (dark and for vision), wrapped in a scarf, and so on. Unlocking is just lightning fast; 4. The quality of the video recording here, upon closer comparison, I can say that it is for iPhones that it is the best in terms of the final result at the output, both in the daytime and in the dark. Photos are good during the day, average at night - like other flagships in this price segment; 5. 2 physical sim cards (bought in Hong Kong) work, no complaints; 6. Ergonomics - the large diagonal of the display does not interfere with the use of the phone with one hand at all. The materials are very high quality, in the hands there is a pleasant heaviness of the device, and premium; 7. 256 Gb of internal memory - more than enough. The performance of the device itself is colossal - everything flies without brakes; 8. The presence of wireless charging and battery life - quietly enough for 1.5, and sometimes 2 days with the Internet on and 2 sims.
Cons
  • Apparatus: 1. Gorilla Glass coating - it seems that it exists only on paper. Scratches on the display and rear glass are literally due to the breath of air, which makes it simply impossible to use it without films and covers. For example, I wore my Galaxy Note 8 for almost 1.5 years without a film on the display - during this time not a single scratch appeared; 2. Signal reception - it is extremely average, although the network itself, in case of loss, finds it quickly; 3. Charging the device is not fast - either with a 1A unit, or 2.5 A, or wirelessly (I use from Samsung), although this is an insignificant drawback; 4. Photo in the dark is so-so (unlike video), there is no wide angle. iOS system: 1. The notification screen - in comparison with android, this is just the last century. You can see them only from the locked screen - there is no standard curtain; 2. The inability to quickly access the inclusion of geolocation, NFC, hotspot, switching modes, changing camera settings from the application and so on - instead of one simple step, as on android, you need to do 3. Fufufu; 3. Photos are not divided into folders automatically - screenshots, instant messengers, photo editing applications, etc. - all this merges into one single folder, and in order to stratify them, you need to create a suitable one manually and transfer it manually. It is very, very dense; 4. On any phones with 2 active SIM cards for Android, the system will offer you to automatically register a 2nd account for the messenger - vazap, telegrams and others. How does it work on ios? But no way. You need to separately download the Whatsapp for business / regular whatsapp, telegram / telegram x application (i. E. have two different applications for 2 different accounts); 5. Dark theme - it works somehow crookedly; 6. All the same old attachment to itunes and the inability to quickly access files from the phone; 7. The format of the recorded video files is M4V by default, which under no circumstances will be played by any video codec on third-party devices without formatting.
