Iphone 7 overall dimensions. Comparison of overall dimensions, screen sizes and diagonal of all iPhones of different models in centimeters. What is the largest iPhone in centimeters

The release of the next iPhone in the fall is already a tradition, as well as information leaking from everywhere (mostly true) about what will be new in this iPhone. The iPhone 7 / 7 Plus were no exception. However, if in previous iPhone generation there was nothing really revolutionary (only good evolutionary improvements), then in the "seven" we see really significant innovations. That, however, does not mean an unambiguously positive assessment of them.

Let's take a look at the characteristics of the novelty.

The table clearly shows the key iPhone features 7 Plus: This is a first-of-the-line waterproofing, the disappearance of the 3.5mm headphone jack, and a dual-lens camera that provides 2x optical zoom capability.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a new SoC (we will definitely evaluate its performance), and an increased amount of memory (both operational and permanent). It is significant that the dimensions of the device remained the same - this is not typical for an iPhone without the letter "s" in the name.

Well, let's get acquainted with the smartphone live.

Packaging and equipment

The packaging of the iPhone 7 Plus is traditional for Apple smartphones and practically does not differ from the packaging of the previous generation smartphone. But in the new glossy black version ( jet black) draws attention to the stylish black design of the box.

As for the equipment - here, at first glance, everything is also traditional, but there is one important surprise. So the kit includes EarPods headphones with a Lightning connector, mounted on a cardboard holder (it’s a pity that they abandoned the plastic box with a transparent lid, as it was before! - according to Apple, for environmental reasons), flyers, Charger(5V 1A), Lightning cable, stickers and a key to remove the cradle of the SIM card, as well as an adapter from Lightning to a 3.5 mm minijack.

This adapter is the very surprise. As we said, the new iPhone does not have a traditional headphone jack. Therefore, to use wired headphones third-party iPhone you will need an adapter. A big plus is that it is free and very compact.

Design

Externally new iPhone very similar to its predecessor. Dimensions and basic design elements remained unchanged. The feeling of novelty is brought, of course, by color schemes that were previously inaccessible: “black onyx” and “black”.

In the first days of sales, there was a huge hype around the “black onyx” option, which is quite logical. Here, not only the color is new, but also the coating - glossy, not brushed aluminum, like other options and previous generations of iPhone. It was he, the “black onyx”, that we tested, and, I must say, he leaves mixed impressions.

The fact is that outwardly it looks very similar to plastic. As if the smartphone is just a black plastic case. But if you take it in your hand, you feel the coolness and heaviness typical of metal. Well, if you knock on it, then all doubts about the type of material will disappear: it is metal, not plastic. However, in the process of use, you will very quickly encounter a problem that is typical of glossy plastic devices - with fingerprint contamination on the case. Miracles do not happen, and here it is, too.

Of course, the cover saves from this, but a logical question arises: why chase a new color if it will still not be visible under the cover? True, you can alternate using a smartphone in a case and without it, since Apple has released for the new iPhone new line cases are very nice. This is how the branded leather case for the iPhone 7 in stormy sky color looks like (it is not included in the kit, it must be purchased separately for 4100 ).

It looks prettier in real life and feels very nice in the hand. Although, let's add a fly in the ointment, the surface of the cover is quickly covered with scratches and scuffs. This can be seen even in the photo above, although we used this case for just a few days before shooting. And one more thing: despite the preserved dimensions and shape, it is impossible to use cases for the iPhone 6s Plus with the new iPhone - the changed camera eye interferes.

Returning to the design of the iPhone itself, we note four key innovations that have a strong impact on the use of the device, although they are not evident from the outside. First of all, it is moisture protection. How long have we been waiting for it! How often did the stories about iPhone drop in the toilet, getting caught in heavy rain with it, problems after using it in the winter during a snowfall ... Now all this is in the past. Yes, Apple representatives emphasize that you can’t swim with the iPhone (unlike the Apple Watch Series 2). But he will survive a short-term immersion in water (such as the same fall into the toilet bowl).

The second aspect that follows directly from the issue of moisture protection is the replacement of the round Home button with a touch zone. In fact, this change may well be as revolutionary as the ditching of the 3.5mm jack, and is sure to irritate many Apple fans. After all, this button has long become almost a symbol of the iPhone! key element design that competitors did not dare to copy (at least in this form). And now Apple itself refuses it.

It is clear that he refuses not because of some whim, but precisely because of the desire to make the smartphone waterproof. And yet, a bold move. However, Apple has very resourceful people. They rightly decided that in the end, the main thing for users is not the fact of pressing a button, but the feeling that a person experiences while doing so. And if so, why not imitate this feeling? After all, Apple has Taptic Engine technology. And the amazing thing turned out: when we touch the sensory zone, we really feel about the same thing as when we press physical button. Miracles! The author gave the apparatus to several people, and those of them who did not know about this innovation in advance, but had experience iPhone usage, could not believe that there really is no button and this is an illusion.

The third innovation is the appearance of stereo speakers. Now the sound is coming both below, where there are slits, and above, where there are no slits. This, of course, is good for watching videos and playing games, although such usage scenarios are less convenient on a smartphone than on a tablet (recall that stereo speakers are in all models iPad Pro). But it won't get worse, that's for sure.

And finally, once again we recall the disappearance of the standard headphone jack. Please note that the top edge of the smartphone is now devoid of any connectors and slots, while the location of the remaining controls and slots has not changed.

On the right is the power button and slot for Nano-SIM cards. On the left are the volume buttons and the lever to turn the smartphone into silent mode. And below is the only Lightning connector and speaker grilles.

Well, Apple did not radically change the look of the smartphone (as, for example, it was in previous "numbered" generations - iPhone 4, 5, 6), but made revolutionary adjustments to functional features design. And if the appearance of moisture protection is a definite plus, then the rest of the innovations are more controversial. Not everyone to whom I showed the new iPhone 7 Plus “black onyx” liked it, not everyone was ready to refuse such familiar button Home and headphone jack. Here, time will tell whether the innovations will take root (we are almost sure that yes, they will take root). However, in any case, it is impossible not to note the ingenuity and elegance with which Apple engineers and designers solved the tasks assigned to them.

Screen

Options iPhone screen 7 Plus do not differ from those of the iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5-inch diagonal, IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1920 × 1080. By modern standards, these are not record-breaking parameters, but, by the way, they look like golden mean. True, with the spread of VR helmets, it became clear that even a resolution of 2560 × 1440 in smartphones is not enough, but Apple still adheres to 1920 × 1080, apparently not considering the use case described above to be massive enough to sacrifice other parameters for the sake of ultra-high resolution.

The editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections will tell you about the quality of the display Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than the screen of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the off screens (on the left - Nexus 7, on the right - Apple iPhone 7 Plus, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen on the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is slightly darker (brightness in photos is 109 versus 116 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the Apple iPhone 7 Plus screen is very weak, which indicates that there is no air gap between the screen layers (more specifically, between the outer glass and the LCD matrix surface) (OGS type screen - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of borders (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of intense external illumination, but their repair in case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (effective, approximately like the Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed much easier, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

At manual control brightness and when displaying a white field in full screen maximum value brightness was about 550 cd / m², the minimum - 2 cd / m². The maximum brightness is very high, and given the excellent anti-reflective properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors will be at good level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In stock automatic adjustment brightness by light sensor. IN automatic mode as the ambient light conditions change, the brightness of the screen both increases and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness slider - the user sets the desired brightness level for the current conditions. If nothing is changed, then in complete darkness the brightness drops to 2 cd / m² (very dark), in an artificially lit office (about 550 lux) the screen brightness is set to 130 cd / m² (acceptable), in a very bright environment (corresponds to outdoor lighting on a clear day, but without direct sunlight- 20,000 lux or a little more) rises to 630 cd/m² (even higher than with manual adjustment). The result did not quite suit us, so in the dark we slightly moved the brightness slider to the right, and for the above three conditions we got 16, 110-130 and 630 cd / m² (ideal). It turns out that the auto-brightness function works adequately, and it is possible to adjust the nature of the brightness change to the user's requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

IN this smartphone IPS type matrix is ​​used. Micrographs show a typical IPS sub-pixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

Traditionally for the iPhone, a lot of dust particles are found in the filler adhesive layer between the outer glass and the matrix:

The screen has good angles viewing without significant color shift even at large deviations of the gaze from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photos in which Apple screens iPhone 7 Plus and Nexus 7 withdrawn same images, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to approximately 200 cd / m² (across the white field in the entire screen), and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K. The white field is perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And a test picture:

The color balance is slightly different, the color saturation is normal.

Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not change much on both screens and the contrast remained at a high level.

And the white box:

The brightness at an angle at the screens decreased (at least 4 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but in the case of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, the drop in brightness is less. The black field, when deviated diagonally, is highlighted to an average degree and acquires a purple hue. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is approximately the same!):

And from another angle:

When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the black field is good, although not ideal:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1300:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 22 ms (12 ms on + 10 ms off). The transition between grayscale 25% and 75% (according to the numerical value of the color) and back in total takes 30 ms. The gamma curve constructed from 32 points with an equal interval according to the numerical value of the shade of gray did not reveal a blockage either in the highlights or in the shadows. Approximation exponent power function is 1.99, which is slightly below the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve slightly deviates from the power dependence:

The color gamut is sRGB:

Let's look at the spectra:

Such spectra (unfortunately) are found in top mobile Sony devices and other manufacturers. Apparently, this screen uses LEDs with a blue emitter and a green and red phosphor (usually a blue emitter and a yellow phosphor), which, in combination with special matrix filters, allows you to get a wide color gamut. Yes, and in the red phosphor, apparently, the so-called quantum dots are used. For a consumer device, a wide color gamut is by no means an advantage, but a significant drawback, since as a result, the colors of images - drawings, photographs and films - oriented to the sRGB space (and the vast majority of them) have unnatural saturation. This is especially noticeable on recognizable shades, such as skin tones. However, unlike many well-known and not so famous companies, Apple knows what the color gamut should be, and therefore carefully adjusts it to the sRGB borders (apparently, programmatically). As a result, visually the colors have a natural saturation.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is good, because Colorful temperature is close to the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the black body spectrum (ΔE) is less than 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, the color temperature and ΔE change little from shade to shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. The nature of the change in values ​​from hue to hue indirectly shows that software color correction is used. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, as there the color balance does not of great importance, and the measurement error color characteristics large at low brightness.)

As in the iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch display and in the iPhone SE, this Apple device there is a function night shift, which makes the picture warmer at night (how much warmer the user specifies).

For a description of why such a correction might be useful, see the referenced iPad Pro 9.7 article. In any case, when having fun with a tablet or smartphone at night, it is better to reduce the screen brightness to a minimum, but still comfortable level, and only then, to calm your own paranoia, turn the screen yellow by setting night shift.

Let's summarize. The screen has a very high maximum brightness and has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device does not special problems can be used outdoors even on a sunny summer day. In complete darkness, the brightness can be lowered to a comfortable level. It is permissible to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works adequately. The advantages of the screen include an effective oleophobic coating, the absence of an air gap in the layers of the screen and flicker, good stability black to the deviation of the gaze from the perpendicular to the plane of the screen, high contrast, as well as the sRGB color gamut and good color balance. There are no significant shortcomings. At the moment, this is probably one of the best displays among all smartphones.

Performance

The iPhone 7 Plus runs on the new Apple A10 Fusion SoC. For the first time, the company uses a quad-core CPU, which features two cores running at a reduced frequency. They are used when high performance is not required. The idea, of course, is not new, and we have seen something similar with competitors for a long time - moreover, in a 4 + 4 configuration, and not 2 + 2. Yes, and three gigabytes random access memory today you will not surprise anyone - flagship models competitors are 4 GB, and even 6 GB. But, as we have long understood, comparing iPhone performance with Android models, focusing solely on the number of cores, gigabytes and gigahertz, is wrong and pointless. So let's move on to tests that will show how much the new product outperforms or concedes to competitors, as well as what a performance boost it is compared to the iPhone 6s Plus. We emphasize that we ran all the tests again on the iPhone 6s Plus, since it is logical to compare models on the same OS version, that is, on iOS 10, and our first iPhone testing 6s Plus was run on iOS 9.

Let's start with browser tests: SunSpider 1.0.2, Octane Benchmark and Kraken Benchmark. We will also add to our standard set - a new browser benchmark recommended by the creators of SunSpider as a replacement for it. On iOS devices we used Safari browser, on Samsung Galaxy Note7 - Chrome.

The picture is unambiguous: the novelty overtakes its predecessor by about one and a half times, and the main competitor - more than twice.

Now let's see how the iPhone 7 Plus performs in the comprehensive AnTuTu benchmark (we've been using it on iOS recently) and Geekbench 3, which measures CPU and RAM performance.

The alignment is generally similar, although here the gap from the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is not so great, and the iPhone 6s Plus looks better. However, the leadership of the iPhone 7 Plus is still undeniable.

The last group of benchmarks is dedicated to testing GPU performance. We used 3DMark, GFXBench, and Basemark Metal Pro, which was created specifically for devices that support Metal technology. In the case of the iPhone, GFXBench Metal was used (a benchmark option optimized for Metal devices), on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 - regular version GFX Bench 3.

Recall that Offscreen tests are a display of a 1080p image on the screen, regardless of the actual screen resolution. And Onscreen tests are the output of a picture in the resolution that corresponds to the screen resolution of the device. That is, Offscreen tests are indicative in terms of the abstract performance of the SoC, and Onscreen tests are indicative of the comfort of playing on a specific device.

Despite some oddities in the results (almost identical iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone 7 Plus in Manhattan Offscreen, but the iPhone 7 confidently wins in Onscreen, but the opposite picture in the T-Rex scene), the distribution of places remains the same: iPhone 7 ahead, last year's iPhone is next, and in third place is Samsung's flagship.

And again, the iPhone 7 Plus is in the lead.

Finally - Basemark Metal Pro. Since this benchmark is made specifically for Apple devices, Samsung smartphone not in the table.

Well, one and a half times superiority - this is approximately what Apple promised us.

As a result, we can admit that the iPhone 7 Plus is the most productive smartphone to date. Performance increase compared to the iPhone 6s Plus - up to one and a half times, the nearest Samsung competitor Galaxy Note7 is also utterly crushed. This also applies to graphic benchmarks, which is most important for games. However, we will repeat what we write about performance every time. flagship smartphones: at the time of their release, it is almost impossible to real applications feel the difference with its predecessor and with weaker competitors of the same level. Only a year and a half later, game projects come out that can fully reveal their potential.

cameras

The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have also made important camera upgrades. We will analyze the iPhone 7 camera in a separate article, but here we will focus on the possibilities iPhone cameras 7 plus. So, the main thing: there are now two camera modules. One is wide-angle, the other is telephoto. Right at the time of shooting, you can choose which of the two cameras to use, and this is done intuitively.

Cameras can be switched even while shooting video. It is reported that 4K video can now be shot at a frequency of not only 30 fps, but also 60 fps. However, the option that allows you to set 60 fps when shooting in 4K was not found in the settings. From which we can conclude that either this will be added to the software later, or this will only be possible when using third-party software. Here are some examples of 4K videos at 30 fps.

The first video, shot with a wide-angle lens, demonstrates almost flawless quality. In some places you can even see the numbers of passing cars. In the third video we see a very beautiful color and Good work cameras in backlight. By the way, both videos allow you to evaluate optical stabilization.

But videos 2 and 4 already demonstrate some shortcomings. In the second clip, you can see the switching between the two cameras (it was done manually), and here you can clearly see that the image quality from the telephoto lens is noticeably worse than from the wide angle. The fourth clip attracts attention with a strong image noise: at dusk the camera can no longer cope, although at the time of shooting (18:48 in early October) it was still not very dark.

Now let's evaluate the photo opportunities. Below are examples of pictures rear cameras with comments from our expert Anton Solovyov

Lighting ≈130 lux, flash.

Lighting<1 люкс, вспышка.

As expected, the camera in iPhones is no longer moving forward in quality, but it is not losing ground either. There are some minor issues with software processing here, but you can already get used to them over the past two generations - all this will be fixed in the next update. Of course, it's a little disappointing that there are still damp places in the serial sample, but this is not so critical. With good lighting, the camera produces a beautiful and fairly clean picture, but at the slightest drop in illumination, the noise reduction turns on with might and main, although the shutter speeds are not that long, and the ISO values ​​are low.

A camera with a telephoto lens most likely has the same sensor, but the program works a little worse with it. Quite often there are zones of blur or a semblance of blur, despite the rather short shutter speeds. I don’t want to think badly about optics, because in this case it’s easier to make a telephoto lens than a wide-angle one. It would be strange if its quality failed. However, the TV camera is still convenient and useful, despite the current image quality.

As a result, the iPhone 7 Plus camera can be safely called good. It remains to wait a little, and then it will be possible to consider it excellent.

Autonomy and heating

A year ago, we noted that the battery life of the iPhone 6s Plus is one of the main advantages of the device. A day and a half to two days of use, a long time of work in games and when watching videos - for many devices, such results are unattainable. The iPhone 7 Plus has no superiority here, but there is no significant loss compared to the iPhone 6s Plus. You can use the smartphone without recharging the same one and a half to two days (with moderate use, the smartphone can be charged once every two nights).

In our traditional test scenarios, the iPhone 7 Plus also performed well, although it was inferior to its predecessor in the duration of the 3D game scene. However, the nearest competitor demonstrates almost twice the worst result in this test.

Below is a thermal image rear surface obtained after two runs in a row (approximately 10 minutes of operation) of the Basemark Metal test:

It can be seen that the heating is strongly localized in the upper right part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was 41 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), this is not very much.

conclusions

iPhone 7 Plus is a controversial device. It's the undisputed flagship with a lot to offer, including record-breaking performance, long battery life and low heat when playing 3D games, a traditionally great screen, and an innovative (albeit imperfect) camera. However, those resonant design innovations that Apple has introduced in this generation of iPhone will not be accepted by all users. On the other hand, many may be disappointed that the appearance of the smartphone has not changed much compared to the previous two generations (except, of course, the new “black onyx” color scheme, which is also very controversial due to the glossy finish).

And yet this is a new iPhone, and that says it all. Apple is absolutely in its own style: it does not seem to care about either competitors or even fans of the brand, who hardly accept some bold innovations. The company just does what it sees fit. And as a result, devices are obtained that (despite the dissatisfied exclamations of both haters and some fans) are used by everyone. In the case of the iPhone 7 Plus, the situation will be the same. And the triumphant start of sales confirms this.

In conclusion, we suggest watching our video review of the iPhone 7 Plus smartphone:

The first item when buying a phone is just the screen size and how many inches it is. Today we will talk about the screen size of iPhones, because this question is of interest to many.

In fact, there is a lot of information about this, and since the iPhone is just a standard among phones, I will be very brief and try to show only the main ones.

What is the iPhone screen size?

Apple has held its position with small screens for a long time, but the smartphone market still forced them to change their mindset and now you know how much the largest screen is on the iPhone. And if not, then the following list is made for you.

In it, I will talk not only about its size, but also mention its main characteristics.

First generation iPhone screen, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S

For five generations we have used phones with such small screens. At that time, and this is the period from 2007 to 2011, this size was acceptable and it was enough for all modern tasks.

But if you look through the eyes of 2006, these are very small smartphones and you don’t really want to pick them up. There is little content on the screen, and playing games is generally inconvenient.

• 2G:
• 3G: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
• 3GS: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 320×480, 163 ppi;
• 4: 3.5 inches, LCD TFT, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi;
• 4S: 3.5 inches, Retina, resolution 640×960, 326 ppi.

All these phones have become a very significant part in the development of touch smartphones. It was thanks to them that the race for inches and ppi began.

iPhone 5, 5S, 5C, SE screen sizes

The relevance of the size of these particular phones remains to this day. Here you can find a compromise between ease of use and compactness.


If you are the owner of a not too big hand and you do not like when the phone sticks out of your pocket, then you should have one of these smartphones.

• 5:
• 5S: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina display, 326 ppi;
• 5C: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina + display, 326 ppi;
• SE: 4 inches, resolution 640 × 1136, IPS Retina + display, 326 ppi.

The quality of such screens is very amazing and has been proven by many users over the years. I think everyone has a friend who prefers this particular screen size.

iPhone 6, 6S, 6 PLUS, 6S PLUS sizes

Starting with the number six, the race for inches began in earnest. Now the Yabloko could boast that they did not have a miniature iPhone, but a real shovel.


Although, the further the development of smartphones goes, the more the term "shovel" loses its relevance. You will not surprise anyone with your 5-inch phone.

• 6:
• 6PLUS: 5.5 inches, 1920×1080 resolution, Retina HD, 401 ppi;
• 6S: 4.7 inches, 750×1334 resolution, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
• 6S Plus:

The screen size has grown significantly and now the iPhone is not miniature at all. You are holding a full-fledged smartphone with a very large diagonal in your hands.

In this generation of smartphones, Apple decided to stick to the sizes of the previous two generations. Why invent something new, if the old one is doing quite well.


Moreover, now the iPhone is associated with such large inches of screens. The time when people were surprised by large iPhones is long gone.

• 7: 4.7 inches, resolution 1334×750, Retina HD, 326 ppi;
• 7PLUS: 5.5 inches, 1920×1080 resolution, Retina HD, 401 ppi.

The appearance of black color in the line made smartphones more elegant. Now with a calm soul we say goodbye to the color Space Gray.

The iPhone X is one of the most interesting phones released this decade. But not because it offers something particularly innovative or new. It's interesting because it's the most radical redesign of the iPhone, tied in with a number of key trends in the industry and adding a level of polish that will appeal to Apple fans. What are the dimensions and weight of the iPhone X?

Of all the new Apple features in the new one, its appearance is changing, and the phone's display stretched to full screen is the largest. This is the largest screen the company has ever built on an iPhone in its 10-year history. Yet the iPhone X itself is actually smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7 Plus in terms of height and width.

From the image of the iPhone X, it becomes clear how Apple did it. Cupertino stretched the top and bottom of the screen so that the display filled all the free space, which Apple called the Super Retina Display. The designers have even removed the home button you've been using for years to navigate your phone and unlock with Touch-ID. In other words, they made the phone's screen bigger, without making the iPhone X bigger.

iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 8 vs iPhone X dimensions and weight

Here's how the sizes of the iPhone X and iPhone 8 compare:

The iPhone X measures 143.6mm by 70.9mm and is 7.7mm thick.
- The iPhone 8 size is 138.4mm by 67.3mm and has a thickness of 7.3mm.
-iPhone 8 Plus measures 158.4mm by 78.1mm and is 7.5mm thick.

So, as you can see, the iPhone 8 is smaller and thinner, but not by much.

Therefore, if your choice is based on the size and shape of the iPhone, then you can safely purchase any of the above.

However, when it comes to weight, the difference is more significant.

The iPhone X weighs 174 grams.
- The iPhone 8 weighs 148 grams.
- The iPhone 8 Plus weighs 202 grams.

As we can see, the iPhone 8 wins - with a difference of 26 grams. A teaspoon of sugar weighs approximately 4 grams, so that's about 6-7 tablespoons of sugar, which is enough for a very sweet cup of tea, but we doubt that you care much.

So, if you choose an iPhone for your weight and size, then you can take any of the smartphones, because the difference is minimal. Another thing is the price.

If you really want a small iPhone, then there is another iPhone you might consider. The iPhone SE is Apple's smallest iPhone:

The iPhone SE measures just 123.8mm by 58.6mm and is 7.6mm thick.
-It weighs 113 grams.
However, we recommend that you wait for the release of the iPhone SE 2, it should be released next year. (But it is not exactly)

iPhone 8 and iPhone X display sizes, what are the differences?

The iPhone X and iPhone 8 are nearly identical when it comes to size and weight, with one very big difference: screen size.

The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch Super Retina HD display.
-iPhone 8 has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display.
-iPhone 8 Plus has a 5.5-inch Retina HD display.
As we can see, ten is a clear favorite, however, this size is deceptive.

Thus, if you choose a smartphone based on screen size, choosing based on numbers will be the wrong decision. Everything will refer to how much of the smartphone you'll be willing to sacrifice to get a bigger screen.

The iPhone 8 Plus has a large screen, but it's large and can be awkward to use.
The iPhone X has the longest screen with a notch at the top, but it's narrower than the iPhone 8

Based on this, we are not in the right to advise any of them to you. However, we think it's plausible that even though the iPhone X screen is larger than the iPhone 8, the difference won't be as noticeable in use.

Apple regularly pleases its fans with advanced smartphones and gadgets. With each new model, a number of improvements in technical equipment are added. However, the iPhone X was the first phone of this line to undergo a radical redesign. It was released relatively recently, along with the iPhone 8. What is the difference between them and what is their weight and size? More on this later!

The phone is compact and the screen is big!

With the release of the iPhone X, the manufacturer set a new vector for the development of the design of these models. Fans of the brand will immediately notice these changes. This model does not differ in the largest dimensions, however, it has a larger screen than all its predecessors. What are the dimensions of the iPhone X?

This phone has an enlarged screen, the diagonal of which is 5.8 inches. This result was achieved by increasing the display by reducing the frame around it.

The smartphone has lost the famous “Home” button, which was used as Touch ID. Apple did not abandon the idea of ​​​​personal authentication, so they replaced the fingerprint scanner with face recognition. If such a system had already been introduced before and, to put it mildly, did not inspire confidence, then Face ID technology scans the 3D shape of the face, is completely self-learning, remembering changes on the face using neural networks, and also saves data not in the form of images, but as mathematical and structural images. With Face ID, you can even make purchases.

The phone has a stretched display dubbed Super Retina Display HD, a first in the lineup. The increase in screen size on the iPhone X has led to the fact that the device now resembles one large display. It looks modern, stylish and minimalistic. Despite several dissatisfied exclamations, the company did not receive harsh criticism for the newfangled solution.

The dimensions of the iphone x in centimeters are 14.36 in length and 7.09 in width. The thickness of the device is only 0.77 centimeters.

Comparison of sizes of Apple iPhone 8, X and models from other manufacturers

It would seem that with such dimensions, the phone itself and its display will be much smaller than their predecessors. In terms of size, this is true, but the screen diagonal is really the largest. It is worth comparing the sizes of iphone x and iphone 8 plus.

Both models were released around the same time. If we talk about the iPhone 8 Plus, then it is much larger than the X, but it has a smaller screen.

• iPhone X dimensions in inches are 5.6 x 2.79 x 0.30 (L x W x T);
• iPhone 8 Plus dimensions: length - 6.2 inches, width - 3.07, thickness - 0.2;
• while the iPhone X weighs 28 grams less;

The dimensions of the iphone 7 and iphone x also differ significantly. Seven has smaller dimensions. At the same time, the diagonal of the screen for this model is 4.7 ". It is also worth mentioning the 7 Plus series, which is larger than the top ten, but inferior to its screen by 0.3 inches.

Comparing the sizes of iphone 8 and iphone x shows that the latest model is more compact and has a number of advantages. If we talk about the choice between models, then everyone here should start from their personal preferences. These phones have enough fans.

The dimensions of the iphone x and iphone 6 are also different. The iPhone 6 measures 138.3mm long, 67.1mm wide, and 7.1mm thick. The device weighs 143 grams and is 31 grams lighter than the X.

Now let's try to compare smartphones from Apple and Samsung, based on the size of the galaxy s9 and iphone x. The Korean manufacturer has released its flagship as a competitor for the X.

Model S9 is slightly at odds with the usual concepts, so its design has not undergone significant changes. If for an American brand a stretched screen is something new, then the Koreans have already released something similar a couple of times.

Pay attention to a small table:

From this it becomes obvious that despite the same screen size, the Samsung product has a slightly better resolution and the device itself is larger. However, iphone x size in inches , or rather, its width is 0.08 more than that of the Samsung flagship.

Why is not everything so rosy and is the screen size of the iPhone X really 5.8 inches?

Let's pretend to be skeptics and ask ourselves if we are being deceived for an hour? Maybe this is a marketing ploy to distract us from the main thing - the device is not the size that is indicated in the specification.

No, of course, if you measure the screen diagonal, it will come out exactly 5.8 inches, everything is fair here. However, now it is worth paying attention to the bar at the top of the device, which houses the camera, speaker and sensors. Here the screen is divided into two parts, but would such a screen be useful?

The answer is no. As long as only part of the screen is visible, it will not be effective. What is the deception and why the dimensions of the iphone x smartphone do not correspond to reality?

Because the display area of ​​​​the Plus line will be larger, albeit slightly. It is also worth noting that the screen width of the X is much smaller than that of the Plus.

Thanks to the bar at the top, the status bar began to take up less space, so it's a stretch to say that the working area has been enlarged.

The second fly in the ointment in this big barrel of honey was portrait orientation.

What size will iphone x be when flipped upside down?

When using the portrait mode, the diagonal of the screen - the working space is reduced to 4.7 inches. The Apple iphone x has a size and aspect ratio of approximately 19:9, which causes discomfort during operation.

But even so, the screen remains quite large. Due to its stretch, it creates additional space.

Results

In conclusion, it is worth noting that you do not need to focus on numerical indicators when choosing a smartphone with a large screen, because everything here depends on you and your comfort. However, it is worth remembering that whichever option you choose, the difference will not be catastrophic. Happy shopping!
