Here ’s Your First Hands-On Look at the iPhone X, Apple’s Boldest Smartphone Yet

Apple‘s new iPhone X is the biggest change the company has made to its flagship smartphone in years. With a larger screen, a better camera system for augmented reality and facial recognition capabilities, it’s clear that this is Apple’s vision for the future of the smartphone.
Here’s a closer look at what it’s like to use the company’s new flagship smartphone after a brief hands-on session.
Design and Screen
For the first time in years, Apple is using glass instead of aluminum in its newest products. All the new iPhones, including the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, include a glass back that’s designed to facilitate the company’s also newly-introduced wireless charging technology. It looks and feels elegant, thought also curiously reminiscent of older iPhones like the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. The stainless steel that frames the edges of the display makes it feel a bit heavy, but also more durable than Apple’s previous iPhones.

The first thing you’ll notice about the X is its gigantic screen. As expected, the edge-to-edge display occupies nearly the entire face of the phone, excluding a small cutout in the top that includes the phone’s new camera system. Even though the screen is 0.3 inches larger than that of the iPhone 7 Plus, it feels so much more compact. Take a look at the photo of the iPhone X alongside my iPhone 7 Plus for comparison.
