Iphone 11 vs iphone xr vs iphone xs, which is the best?

Apple's new range of phones was recently officially unveiled. One of the models in it is the iPhone 11, which is the cheapest phone in this range from the Cupertino firm. The company has made improvements to this range, which should exceed that of last year. Therefore, we subject this new model to a comparison with the iPhone XR and iPhone XS.

In this way we can get out of doubts and see which of them is the best and therefore presents itself as a better option to buy. A question that surely many consumers have today.

First of all, we show the specifications of these three phones, so that they can be seen clearly and have a clear idea about the differences that we can find between all of them.

New generation

One of the first changes in this range is the names. Last year the iPhone XS was the simplest model, the normal one, to call it somehow. In this current generation, this honor falls on the iPhone 11, although the reality is that this model is an evolution of the iPhone XR, which was more accessible. Something that can cause confusion.

On the one hand, it is not unusual for Apple to decide to launch a successor to the XR, taking into account that this model is the one that has sold the best in the last 12 months, it continues to do so as well. So they are looking to give a new phone to occupy this place in the next 12 months. Logical for its part, but these changes may raise doubts, although the name on this occasion is much clearer, allowing it to be known in a simple way that the iPhone 11 is the simplest in the range.

Battery

The battery is one of the most important changes in the iPhone 11, as Apple itself confirmed. The autonomy of the phone has been notably increased, improving even that of the iPhone XR, which was the most extensive last year. In this new model we can play video for one more hour, as the company said, one of its strengths.

As for autonomy in general, according to official Apple figures, at least in video playback, the iPhone XR gave 16 hours of autonomy and the iPhone XS 14 hours. The new company phone gives us 17 hours of autonomy in this case. It is that additional hour that the company has promised, which is a clear improvement for users.

Cameras

Another important change in this generation is their cameras. Since in the three new phones, therefore also in the iPhone 11, we find a wide angle of 120 degrees. It is the first time that Apple uses this type of sensor, so it is a notable change in this field for the American manufacturer.

This wide-angle camera allows you to have more options for use, making it a clear advance in this new generation. The iPhone 11 comes with two rear cameras, which allow you to record 4K video at 60 fps. Follow the steps of the iPhone XS and XR in this regard, which allow recording at the same resolution, although in their case they use different cameras. For video recording, the firm uses Extended Dynamic Range, which allows recording at 120 fps to obtain a result of 60 fps.

Most of the improvements in the cameras of this new model focus on Night Mode as well, in addition to video recording. A bokeh effect is also obtained when taking photos of people, objects or animals. This has been made possible thanks to the wide angle that is in it.

Selfie cameras have also been improved over the iPhone XS and iPhone XR. The company has used 7 MP cameras in these models in the past, using practically the same sensors in all cases, until now they have switched to a 12 MP sensor with its new generation. One of the star functions in this new camera is the slofie, which is a slow motion selfie. The firm seeks to generate hype with this function.

Night mode is the most relevant change, which we have already mentioned. The phones of the brand did not perform well in this case, nor did the iPhone XR or XS give us the expected results. But this new night mode is closer to what brands like Google or Huawei offer us. A key step for the signature.

Power and performance

New generation, new processor, as usual at Apple. The firm leaves us this time with the Apple A13 Bionic in this new generation. It is a chip 20% more powerful and with 20% more GPU power than last year's processor, present in the iPhone XS and XR.

It is an advance, as it always happens in the processors of the firm, but it is less than in other years. What makes many question whether the jump in quality, power or performance is really as high as the firm wants us to think. Although in general we can expect better performance in this new generation from the American manufacturer.

This is something that you could notice on the iPhone 11 when playing. The firm seeks to emphasize good gaming performance, especially with the arrival of the Apple Arcade. So this increased power is something that can be put to good use in this case.

Are these changes worth it?

Many users have their doubts about the improvements that we find in the iPhone 11. The design remains in part, although it comes in new colors, but we can see that there are certain changes. Especially in the field of photography, we can see how Apple has worked hard to introduce improvements that allow them to keep up with the marks of Android.

These are changes that could help many to bet on this model. On paper it is presented as a model of great interest, so it will be interesting to see what the company has prepared for us in this case with this phone.
