Apple iPhone 11 Product Test

Wethink the iPhone 11

offers the bestvaluefor

money from Apple’s new

crop of phones.The display

isn’t as good and it lacks

thetelephoto lens, but

thesecompromises have

had a significant impact on

the price.However, it’s

worth pointing out thatyou

can get a big-name

Android device with all the

bells and whistles (if not

the performance)of a Pro

model,for less than the

price of the iPhone 11.

Battery life isreasonably
good,too. In our video
rundowntest, it ran for about
an hour longer than the
iPhone 11 Pro, reaching 18
hours and 36 minutes before
needing arecharge.That’s a
big improvement on last
year’s iPhones. However, if
battery life isyour priority,
there are Android models that
last even longer.

Cameras
The iPhone 11 has a brilliant
main camera supplemented
by a good ultra-wide-angle
camera.These are the same
camerasyou’ll find in the
iPhone 11 Pro – delivering
12-megapixel images and
fully-stabilised 4K videoat
60fps – but without the
additional 2x optical
telephoto lens.
As part of the update to
iOS 13, the camera’s user
interface has also been
updated. There’s a newzoom

wheel, some of thecore

options (flash, Live Photo,

timer, filter effects) are now

accessed by swiping up on

the modeswitcher andyou

get a preview of the ultra-

wide-angle viewto the left

and right of the main preview

window. You can also have

the camera capture images

from both the ultra-wide and

primary cameras

simultaneously, then use the

the revamped Photos app

recompose photos shots after

you’ve taken them.

If you’re notcommittedto

iOS, there’s plenty of healthy

competition from Android.

The SamsungGalaxy S10

one-ups the iPhone 11 with an

extra camera, a more elegant

notch-free screen and double

the storage – andat £690, it’s

nearly£40 cheaper.

If you’re happyto sacrifice

the S10’stelephoto camera,

the SamsungGalaxy S10e will

save you even more money–

around £200at current

prices.You might also

consider the OnePlus 7 Pro

• a huge phone with three
  cameras and a super-slick
  display – whichstarts at £649.
  It’s aboutto be replacedby
  the OnePlus 7T Pro but that’s
  not likelyto be a huge
  upgrade.
