Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

To be honest, I don’t have and never had an iphone X, and in general, from Apple smartphones, I used only 3g and Iphone 4 before, about which I had a not very flattering opinion, but after that I had a lot of android phones: Sony , one of the first Xiaomi mi2s, Xiaomi mi4c, mi5s, LG v30, now moved from Google pixel 2 xl, and I'm just delighted with XR, for some reason everyone praises the pixel, but in fact there is only a camera on its side, for everyone else moments are strictly minus, especially on the display, which can be either too "gray" or with too oversaturated colors. Before buying xr, I compared it with X in the store, and so I even liked the image of xr, because I don’t like the poisonousness of amoled, my eyes start to hurt from it. And as for the bezels, again, I held the X and XR next to each other and yes, the bezels are a few millimeters thicker, but even in direct comparison it is not striking, what to say if you do not have both smartphones in front of your nose . In terms of picture quality, the difference can probably be caught only in high-resolution video, I personally didn’t notice it, although I didn’t compare it particularly carefully, but again, this is not important for domestic use, but for someone, maybe it’s important .
I want to say that this is the most expensive smartphone I have ever bought, but there is an opinion that this is a better purchase, because any smartphone on the Android system loses +/- half of its value a year after purchase, and new ones too they lose in price, and they have to be changed every year / one and a half, because they start to glitch and slow down. For example, I even recently purchased a Google Pixel 2XL at a price of 400 euros, which is noticeably lower than the price at the start of sales. I don’t know after what period the iphone will start to fail and slow down (it will be seen as it is used), but I have no doubt that during this time it will lose much less in price in the secondary market.

Pros

Excellent IPS screen (working with amoled is less comfortable for me, my eyes start to hurt), cool design, good camera (not great, but at a high level), high autonomy, plus I really liked the face id, after the fingerprint scanner on the back of the smartphone I consider it a very convenient alternative, although I didn’t get used to it right away.

Cons

The most important disadvantages: lack of 3.5 jack, high price, just a shameful package for this money. Alas, the pluses in the form of a higher battery capacity and an IPS display can become a minus for someone: the case is thicker compared to the Iphone X and XS, and the frames are actually a little larger, but due to the fact that the frames are the same on all sides, this does not catch the eye as much as is the case with many smartphones with a "chin". I also don’t like keyboards on iOS, and even Google’s native keyboard analogue doesn’t work as cool as on android phones, but I think this is all subjective. As for the price, although I bought the PCT version for 50 thousand, but for a smartphone this is too much, in my opinion, although there are thoughts that it is worth it in some sense (see comment)
