Without a doubt, the iPhone XR is the best iPhone of the year. It’s true, the iPhone XS and XS Max have better screens and much-enhanced cameras but their replacement parts are much more expensive. Comparing the iPhone XR with the XS and XS Max you‘ll definitely know how parts of the iPhone XR make it a budget phone to buy.
Colorful design, Solid screen
You get rich, colorful choices in the iPhone XR, red, blue, yellow, and coral, on top of black and white. The Product (RED) looks good too but we are so familiar with it, that it does not feel as special. the rich colorful back body of the iPhone XR masks the fingerprints.
The XR steps down from the stainless-steel design to aluminum around the edges. One of the parts of the iPhone XR clearly indicates why this iPhone is so cheap. Still, the aluminum frame has a more metallic color, providing a subtle, two-tone finish. With the usual snappy buttons.
The iPhone XR has a single back camera lens along with a notch display, and an edge-to-edge screen for the most advanced iOS experience. Acquiring the back of the iPhone 8 front like the iPhone X, the iPhone XR parts are more durable and inexpensive.
That is a great thing because the XR LCD Assembly is a large 6.1inch screen with a resolution of 1792 x 828. The iPhone XR screen still looks sharp with a little low resolution, but Apple claims it has the Liquid Retina Display. You may find a good android phone in a similar price range with more screen resolution. That said, it’s still difficult to find such a good phone with cheap replacement parts.
The XR stands out for being the perfect size for people who possibly could not adapt to the Giant XS Max. it’s not much easier to use the iPhone XR with one hand but you still can pretty much reach most parts of the screen.
The primary method to unlock the device is using FaceID. One of Apple’s securest facial recognition tools there’s no competition here on the Android side.
The iPhone XR stereo speakers are loud and sound good, but not as dynamic as the Pro ones. You’ll be satisfied with the speakers if listening in a quiet room, but struggling outdoors. Sadly, there’s no headphone jack, you can opt for the Lightning EarPods or the Air Pods.
Great performance with iOS 12, iOS 16 is fluid
The iPhone XR is powered by a similar A12 Bionic chipset but it comes with less RAM 3 GB instead of 4GB. The processor makes iOS 16 fluid to operate and has no problem swapping through multiple applications. Games also run flawlessly consuming much of the iPhone XR battery. Well, that’s quite acceptable the battery has to power the A12 chip and the screen too.
Strong camera
The iPhone XR has a single camera lens on the back. A 12-megapixel lens with an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization similar to the iPhone XS. The iPhone XR camera can shoot 4K 60 frames-per-second videos with stereo sounds. It also packs Smart HDR and a Portrait mode without needing a secondary lens.
There are no such enhancements to the camera still the camera produces excellent photos. Unlike the expensive iPhones or flagship androids, the iPhone XR camera is a cheap replacement part. You need to ensure that you prevent the camera lens from breaking or scratching to prevent blurry photos.
Don’t worry about the battery
The iPhone XR’s battery won’t disappoint you much, it’s a 2924 mAh unit good enough to work a day around. The battery of the iPhone XR easily gets you through a full day and may be able to stick for a few hours extra because of the LCD display. Unlike the OLED displays, the iPhone XR display does not drain much of the battery. The screen replacement makes the iPhone XR battery easily endure a day of moderate to heavy use.
The battery supports fast charging, sadly it does not come with the cable inside the box. You can also buy a wireless charger to charge the iPhone battery.
