hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and the iPhone XR has been out around
six months or so and I've been using it on and off throughout that entire time
I've been switching between this and my iPhone XS Max and I have to say that I
do like this phone quite a lot now you may have seen in my XS Max six months
later video that I actually dropped my XS Max into water by accident it was
kind of a crazy thing that happened and I'm going to do a different video about
that if you haven't seen the XS Max six months later you may want to check that
out and this one has been pretty good now I am NOT using a screen protector or
a case most of the time sometimes I will use the clear case but most of the time
I don't and I wanted to show you in bright sunlight outside what it looks
like as far as scratches go so you'll see here there's not really too much
going on in the back I don't see too many scratches or anything like that if
anything that would be down at the bottom where it set down on tables and
things but this aluminum anodized finish is holding up really well and you'll see
if I go around here it doesn't look bad at all and there are going to be some
scratches on the screen let me turn the screen off but in this bright sunlight I
actually don't see much at all so the screen is holding up really really well
and let me turn it on here unlock it and it looks great even in
bright sunlight like we are right now even though I'm shaded there is bright
sunlight but it looks pretty good I haven't had any issues with it although
when I switch between say the XS Max and this I do notice that the bezels are
a little bit thicker however even though the screen resolution is lower I have no
issues with this display at all you still can't see the pixels and I think
it looks great for an LCD it's one of the best displays there has ever been
made I think at this point so as you can see it works fine it's going to work
great and I probably should use a case or a screen protector but I generally
use Apple here for that so I haven't really had any issues the speaker's
still sound great after six months I haven't had any issues with those
sounding bad or we're getting kind of muddy sounding or crackly same with the
top speaker here as well no issues there now as far as the battery it's pretty
good I do run betas on this from time to time so you'll see four hours and 21
minutes and that's about with if percent battery life left at the end of
the day I've been charging it today so you'll see it's got 90% now but over the
past few days four hours of screen off screen on time in an hour of screen off
time and easily fifty percent of battery by the end of the day so no issues there
and you'll see I'm usually using Twitter and YouTube and YouTube studio and
things like that so no issues with that whatsoever now I do occasionally miss 3d
touch if I'm switching from different phones it's just not here on the home
screen and that's where I used it the most to use special special functions
for different apps but for the most part it's pretty good I really don't have
them any issues there I've been using this quite happily for the past week or
so on and off like I said and I think it's a great phone
in fact the camera on it is probably my favorite thing I use this camera for a
lot of my videos outside it's probably one of the best video cameras and in
fact many people as long as you have the correct lighting wouldn't be able to
tell the difference between this and a cinema camera unless you have a trained
eye for it so most of the time you're not going to
have an issue you can see right now I'm actually recording with a XS Max right
now and you can see the background is blurry it has a nice look to it and it's
it's just these this current generation of phone cameras is great so unless you
really need that zoom lens there's not really an issue and let me go into the
camera here and you'll see even if we zoom here it's going to look pretty good
either way they did a great job with the digital zoom on this and then the video
camera is probably the best out there the XS, XS Max and XR have the best
video cameras of any phone the photo cameras I would say the pixel is better
and there are a few other Android phones that are a little bit better the overall
speed is quite good it's never really slowed down except for that bug that
there's been in settings where it sort of locks up from time to time but
otherwise there's never been really any issues with this and that might be due
to the lower resolution in the ease of the processor or the graphics processor
pushing the pixels so it seems to be handling the speed just well no issues
whatsoever everything is fast and fluid I've never had any scrolling issues any
problems opening apps or anything else so that's it for the XR I think it's a
great phone great Buy especially if you can get a deal on it somewhere I think
it's definite worth picking up if you don't want a
XS or a XS Max and one thing I always mentioned when it comes to the
XR is the XR has an LCD display and it doesn't flicker at about 240 to 250
Hertz or 250 times per second so your eyes actually can be affected by that
like mine are where the XS and the XS Max with the OLED displays are
actually flickering all the time and can cause eye strain and headaches so
unfortunately I have to deal with that and the XR
relieves that problem it just doesn't happen when I'm using one of these
displays so if you're having those issues check that out that may be
affecting you but that's it for the XR let me know what you think about it in
