Phone X, available in a month or two. Thats a comparison for early November here on AAWP, no doubt. In the meantime, theres the standard new Plus model of i. Phone for 2. 01. 7 and its quite a big update in terms of internals. As usual, Ive shaded in green an obvious win for either device, I honestly have no idea which way this ones going to go as I start to compile the feature. Any row where a winner would be totally subjective is left uncoloured. Or, where both devices are utterly excellent but in different ways, Ive given both a greenBy the way, if youre viewing this feature on a smaller screened phone then the table may well cause you problems.

XL is now nearly 2 years oldSeptember 2. Current price, availability. No longer officially for sale, though its often on clearance prices if youre lucky and at outrageous profiteering prices due to rarity if youre not7. SIM free, for the 6. GB model from Apple. Dimensions, form factor, weight. Mozo, as modelled here, 1. Durability. No specific durability metrics, though the fact that the back comes off will help enormously for water damage, i. Damage to the back or corners is trivial through replacement of the rear, but the screens exposed, of course. IP6. 7 for liquid and dust, but a case will be required for drop protection, with glass on all sides, however toughened it is. Operating system, interface. Windows 1. 0 Mobile, dismissable virtual controls, as needed, now officially updated to W1. Creators Update Redstone 2, Spring 2. OS 1. 1, solid state multi function home button plus 3. D Touch pressure sensitive screen for context sensitive actions. Display 5. 7 AMOLED 1. Gorilla Glass 4, Clear. Black Display polarisers help with outdoor contrast, Glance screen available in various colours for always on time, day and notification icons, plus some detailed info from a specified app. Screen area is approximately 9. IPS LCD, ion strengthened glassScreen area is approximately 8. Peak Pro Xt 6 Torrent on this page. Connectivity. LTE, NFC all uses, Wi Fi bgnac, integral wifi tethering, Bluetooth 4. Continuum connectivity to use a wide range of first and third party UWP apps on external displays as secondary screen, independent of the phone display. LTE, NFC but only for Apple Pay, sadly, Wi Fi bgnac, Bluetooth 5. Apple approved comms, integral wifi tethering, single nano. SIMProcessor, performance. Snapdragon 8. 10 chipset with liquid cooling, 3. GB RAM, faster than its ever been now on the Creators Update though still slower for almost everything than on the i. Phone. Multi tasking and app resumption is excellent though, at least with all the modern UWP apps. Apple A1. 1 Bionic chipset, 3. GB RAM, very fast, Apple always do an incredible job in terms of TLC and optimisation. Have to give the win here on speed. Capacity. 32. GB internal storage, expandable via micro. SD6. 4GB internal storage in the variant being considered, no expansionImaging stills2. MP Pure. View f1. BSI sensor, Phase Detection auto focus, dedicated camera shutter button and launch key, genuine 2x lossless digital zoom in 8. MP oversampled mode, OIS. Rich Capture produces customisable HDR shots and dynamic flash, with triple LED illumination. Outstanding shots in most light conditions, with just focussing issues in low light as an Achilles heel. MP front camera. 12. MP, f1. 8 13 BSI sensor, OIS, Phase Detection auto focus, quad LED flash, plus separate f2. Terrific possibilities, and great photos, thanks to the A1. Lumia. Shootout coming soon MP front camera, f2. Imaging video4. K, optically and optionally digitally stabilised, with Best photo 8. MP grabbing built in, plus Rich Recording and HAAC microphones for high quality, gig level stereo capture. K video capture, with EIS and OIS, and yes, the 2x zoom works in video mode. Mono audio recording though and this loses it equality here. Music and Multimedia. Decent mono speaker, loud but lacking in bass and depth, though you can trade volume for fidelity in a simple tweak. A2. DPAPT X, so great headphone audio too. Infamously, no headphone jack, though you do get a Lightning port to 3. Stereo speakers, the right hand one outputting through the phones bottom. Decent volume and fidelity, almost industry leading, but can they make up for the lack of 3. Depends on your priorities, so no winner here. Navigation Windows 1. Maps is now pretty mature and impressive, especially once youve learned the live traffic routine trick Offline maps save a lot of data bandwidth for those on tight contracts or pay as you go. Apple Maps uses traffic and map data from Tom. Tom, it seems, in addition to its own resources. Theres no offline maps facility, though. CortanaVoice. Cortana is now mature and well integrated, and with a surprising degree of assistance. Apples Siri is sassy and usually helpful, but just as with Google Now and Cortana still hands anything remotely tricky off to a web search. Still early days for digital assistantsBattery, life Removable 3. Ah battery, and the ability to change cells gets the win here in my book, the 9. XL easily gets through a day on latest firmware, plus USB Type C up to 3. A and Qi wireless charging built in. Sealed 2. 67. 5m. Ah battery, gets through a day, thanks to the low power cores in the A1. OSs good standby characteristics. Charging is via Lightning port and nominally only 1. A, though other higher current sources should work were still waiting for official fast chargers, plus theres now Qi wireless charging too. Cloud aids. Windows Photos syncs across all signed in devices, subject to your One. Drive tariff stingy, unless you have Office 3. Plus Windows 1. 0 backs all your media, application data and settings to a separate backup folder system, tariff free on One. Drive. Recent photos auto sync to i. Cloud, backups in general ditto, so if you want to, theres a complete image of your phone ready to restore at any point. Apple do this very well, as anyone whos had to restore an i. Phone will have found. Biometrics Iris recognition Windows Hello works well unless you wear varifocals, but takes a couple of seconds including an animation in real world use. Theres also no official way of paying in shops using this, at least not in most of the world. Fast fingerprint scanner in the solid state home button unlocks the phone in one touchpress and also allows Touch. ID authorisation for Apple Pay. Applications and ecosystem Windows 1. Mobile now has just about every mainstream app covered. Often third party clients are involved, mind you, there are companies who hate Microsoft so much that they simply refuse to write for Windows, it seems. And long tail nicheboutique apps are hard to find for real world companies and shops. Fully covered, from A Z, of course. Any application of any significance in the mobile world is available for i. OS. Including most of the Microsoft core applications, like Outlook and Office. Upgrades and future. Windows 1. 0 Mobile will be updated through 2. Windows 1. 0 ecosystem. Production devices can expect updates every month, Insiders every few weeks. The 9. 50 XL is part of the Insider program if needed, the Creators Update feature. Windows 1. 0 version 1. October 2. 01. 7, extending the effective guaranteed support until Autumn 2. Apple push system and security updates regularly the i. Microsoft ZDNet.
