Iphone x face id bad review năm 2024
The iPhone X has an all-screen front design with a 5.8in OLED screen, no home button and an odd looking notch at the top for front-facing camera and sensors. The rest of the device resembles the the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, with a dual camera on the glass back. When it was made available for pre-order it sold out in minutes. Show
This year Apple took a different approach to its distribution of iPhone X review units, giving one of the original iPhone reviewers, Steven Levy at Wired, a phone for a week before anyone else. Then Apple followed up with a slow drip of fashion videos and lifestyle magazine reviews, before selected technology sites were allowed to publish their thoughts. The Guardian’s review of the iPhone X will be available in the next two weeks, once it has been bought and thoroughly tested. In the meantime, here’s the consensus from those who have had early access. It’s worth noting, as the Verge’s Nilay Patel says in his review, “Apple gave most reviewers less than 24 hours with the iPhone X before allowing us to talk about it”, so the opinions below might be slightly less considered than you might expect. Levy’s first impression of the big new feature of Face ID?Does it work? Pretty much. It seems reliable at fending off intruders. I have thrust my phone into several people’s faces – though considerably fewer than the million punims that Apple says I’d have to try before a false positive – and it has not fallen for any of them. I even offered up my own head shot to the camera: no go. Rhiannon Williams from iNews only had a limited time with the iPhone X, but was able to conclude:Size-wise, the iPhone X is smaller than you’d probably expect. Now Apple’s decided to cleave away the unnecessary body around the display, it appears slightly smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus but slightly larger than the iPhone 8, and looks more modern for it. It feels more compact in the hand than the Plus models, but that glass front and back lends it a certain heft – making it feel sturdy rather than slippery. And she was fairly positive about Face ID too: Face ID’s accuracy is truly impressive. While you need to look at it squarely (it wouldn’t unlock when I held it up at an angle to the sides of my face), it’s swift and reliable, and I couldn’t trick it with a photograph of me. It had no problem recognising me with and without contact lenses and while wearing glasses, but struggled to recognise me wearing polarised sunglasses.

It works with glasses on, glasses off, contact lenses, even with some sunglasses, though not mine, it turns out. Is it 100% reliable? No, but it’s pretty close. The only times it didn’t recognise me were when it was lying flat on the table and I was leaning in too close. It needs to see your eyes, nose and mouth to work. Interestingly, having spent nine days with the iPhone X Phelan notes that: Each day the iPhone X got me through to nighttime ready for its nightly recharge. It’s not that it was breakthrough battery life compared to, say, the iPhone 8 Plus, mind. Apple said there was considerable work on off-axis colour, that is, how the colours look while you’re viewing the screen from an extreme angle. I’d say there is a bluish cast evident as you angle the phone away from you, though this is a characteristic of OLED. Scott Stein from Cet said after 18 hours with the iPhone X:At first use, the bigger screen feels great. I’ve wanted more screen real estate on the iPhone, and the X comes closest to all-screen. Picture quality improvement isn’t immediately noticeable over previous iPhones, but that’s a testament to how good Apple’s previous TrueTone displays are. The larger screen gives the iPhone a more current and immersive feel. Nilay Patel for the Verge thinks:It’s clear it was just as challenging to actually build as all the rumors suggested. It’s gorgeous, but it’s not flawless. There’s a tiny sharp ridge between the glass back and the chrome frame that I feel every time I pick up the phone. That chrome frame seems destined to get scratched and dinged, as every chrome Apple product tends to do. The camera bump on the back is huge; a larger housing than the iPhone 8 Plus fitted on to a much smaller body and designed to draw attention to itself, especially on my white review unit. There are definitely going to be people who think it’s ugly. But it’s growing on me. Gareth Beavis writing for TechRadar found similar:Let’s not be too unfair right now – the iPhone X isn’t out yet, so you wouldn’t expect a lot of developers to have re-coded their apps to work on the longer screen. Some reviews bemoaned the iPhone X’s lack of a true, full-screen experience. Photograph: Thomas Peter/Reuters Mashable’s Lance Ulanoff said:I’d be lying if I said I never noticed the notch. It cuts into full-screen apps, movies, and photos, but, after a little while, I stopped fixating on it. I guarantee that some people will hate the notch and rail against it, and it’s fun to imagine how the stoic Jony Ive, Apple’s Chief Design Officer, might’ve lost his cool when he first saw the notch. The complaints will, I suspect, mostly be from people who do not own or use an iPhone X. Ulanoff found Face ID accurate and fast, but interestingly notes: There is one way to fool Face ID, though, and Apple has already acknowledged this: identical twins. I tried it, so I know. It’s one reminder that, while facial recognition is super convenient, it’s not perfect. Matthew Panzarino from Techcrunch interestingly notes:If your favorite pair of glasses happens to block this part of the spectrum [that Face ID uses to read your face], you can turn attention detection off and Face ID still works fine. I like it on, but if you’re a “no-look unlock” kind of person or want to have it work while you keep your eyes on the road then the toggle is there for you. Nicole Nguyen writing for Buzzfeed News noted:The rear camera is really good (but you already knew that). Interestingly Nguyen also found: There were ... more software bugs than usual in a review unit. Most of the bugs were fairly minor, so I’m not too concerned. But something to keep an eye out for. Overall early reviews of the iPhone X seem to indicate that the new design is a step in the right direction for Apple, but that it isn’t perfect, and that Face ID generally works better than expected. Whether facial recognition is a solid replacement for the tried and trusted fingerprint scanner remains to be seen. Is Apple Face ID better than Touch ID?Apple claims that its Face ID is statistically more advanced than its Touch ID fingerprint scanning technology. It produces fewer false positives. However, several user reports have noted that it has a problem differentiating identical twins. Is Face ID a rare iPhone feature?So it’s not surprising that Face ID is a rare iPhone feature that hasn’t completely caught on across the industry. Companies like Samsung and Google are sticking to fingerprint readers. Is iPhone X Face ID reliable?The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone or iPad Pro and unlock it using Face ID is less than 1 in 1,000,000 with a single enrolled appearance whether or not you're wearing a mask. Why does Face ID fail on iPhone X?Make sure that your face isn't blocked Make sure that your eyes, nose, and mouth are fully visible to the TrueDepth camera. By default, Face ID doesn't work if anything is covering your mouth and nose. If you're wearing a face mask and have already set up Face ID with a mask,* make sure that your eyes aren't blocked. Is Face ID repairable in iPhone X?If damaged, Face ID can only be repaired by Apple, so work with care. Peel and separate the pull tab on the final adhesive strip, on the top edge of the upper battery cell. What are the disadvantages of iPhone Face ID?As with any technology, there are drawbacks to using facial recognition, such as the violation of rights and personal freedoms that it presents, potential data theft and the risk of overreliance on inaccurate systems. |
