Design and build

iPhone XS Max has a dimensions of 157.5 x 77.4 x 7.7 mm and its choice of build materials sees it weigh about 208 grams.

Speaking of material, the front and back of the iPhone XS MAX are made purely and entirely from the scratch-resistant glass while the frame is stainless steel, other manufacturers go for aluminum here but hey, this is an iPhone. This build allows for water resistance IP68 dust/water resistant (up to 2m for 30 mins), good thing you need not worry about those almost never occasion of your phone dropping in water. It is exciting to know you can have this phone function fine even in the rain.

The back has a dual camera (vertical placement) in the top left corner. We see a shiny apple logo on the back still and iPhone branding at the bottom. Notable on the front is that notch at the top that has a selfie camera, sensors, call speaker, and all those details included by Apple.

Display and Camera

Display

The display of this phone is a Super Retina OLED capacitive touch screen that stands relatively tall at 6.5 inches. Safe to say this is a phablet device and that 84.4% screen-to-body ratio supports this claim. With an 1242 x 2688 pixels resolution you should expect a very detailed, clean, and crisp panel. A 19.5:9 aspect ratio and ~458 PPI density are what it has to offer this display.

It has a scratch-resistant glass with an oleophobic coating for protection. Other details listed under the display for this phone include Dolby Vision/HDR10 compliant, Wide color gamut display, 3D Touch display, True-tone display, and 120 Hz touch-sensing.

Camera

The Apple iPhone XS MAX has a dual 12 MP (wide+telephoto). The wide-angle sensor sits behind the same f/1.8 lens, the telephoto behind a f/2.55 lens, both with optical image stabilization. The iPhone XS MAX introduces an all-new 12MP sensor for the main shooter with larger pixels - 1.4µm, up from 1.22µm and doubles the focus pixels. The telephoto camera has a 1.0µm pitch as before, no changes here. A feature that comes in so handy especially when it comes to video recording which by the way is 4k for the primary lens and 1080p@60fps for the front-facing camera. Superb cameras on this phone my people, 9 out of 10 my verdict.

Performance and memory

It runs iOS 12 of course. An Apple A12 Bionic chipset, Hexa-core (2x Vortex + 4x Tempest) CPU, and Apple GPU (4-core graphics) power this beast of a smartphone.

There is no support for SD cards here, we are already used to that so, nothing new about that. All three versions of this Apple iPhone XS MAX run on 4GB of RAM with 64 GB of internal storage up to 512GB. Typical iPhone, expect no stutter while operating your phone friend, even with tens of applications running in the background.

Battery

The iPhone XS MAX ships with the underpowered and outdated 5V/1A wall charger which will replenish only 50% in 30 min. They have wireless charging for its Non-removable Li-Ion 3174mAh battery that should give up to 6-7 hours of screen-on time. That’s about a whole day of mixed usage. With up to 20 hours of talk time and 60 of music play, you can never go wrong with it.
