    iPhone 11 Pros – Best Features

    Tougher and glossy back design

    iPhone 11 is protected by a Gorilla Glass made by Corning. The company claims that it is the “toughest glass on the planet”. The phone also has IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and it can survive in 2m deep in non-salty water. The front glass has an oleophobic coating. This helps in keeping the phone clean in terms of fingerprints and smudges.

    Great Video recording capabilities and stabilisation

    The main camera on iPhone 11 is optically and digitally stabilised while the ultra wide camera is only digitally stabilised. It is capable of recording 4K videos at 60fps and 30 fps. The video quality is great with plenty of details and low noise. The colours are true to life. The dynamic range is impressive. The video stabilisation is also one of the best in a smartphone.

    Stereo audio recording for Videos

    iPhone 11 records wide stereo audio for the videos. The audio recorded mimics the way we hear in real life. In summary, you can get a richer and deeper sound recording compared to regular stereo recording.

    Excellent battery life

    The new iPhone 11 is powered by 3110 mAh battery with support for 18W fast charger and Qi-compatible wireless charging. In our testing battery life was excellent. It can play up to 18 hours of videos in a single charge.

    Other Good features

    • Great selfie photo and video quality
    • Fast Apple A13 Bionic chipset- Fastest smartphone chip on the planet.
    • True to life low light photography.
    • Stereo speaker with excellent sound output.

    iPhone 11 Cons – The features which are not impressive

    Big notch

    Like iPhone XR, iPhone 11 has a big notch. There is no improvement.

    Same screen resolution like iPhone XR

    iPhone 11 has Liquid Retina 6.1 inch IPS LCD screen with 326ppi and a screen resolution of 828×1792. The screen does not support HDR10 or Dolby Vision.

    No bundled fast charger

    iPhone 11 comes with 5W charger in the box. To fully charge the battery it takes close to 4 hours. However, it has support for the fast charger. You can buy a fast charger separately.

    It is one of the cheapest iPhones. However, it is still an expensive phone.

    It is not a compact lightweight phone. It is big and heavy phone.
