IPhone X features same as Android #apple
- Face scanner
In addition to fingerprints, later popular faces are used as biometric keys to secure the device. Face scanning technology has been applied in Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus that glide in March 2017.
Microsoft also has come to apply similar technology in the realm of desktop through Windows Hello for laptop users.
Apple's face-scanning technology should be more advanced, as it is backed by RealFace's biometric security firm earlier this year, but its cleverness to recognize faces remains to be tested.
- Glass-lined back
Apple popularized the trend of smartphones with metal-based shells, but this manufacturer is not the first time lining the back of a cell phone with glass. Android LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy series had already adopted it.
This design is not without its weakness. In addition to vulnerable scratched, the back of a glass-coated smartphones are also easy to get dirty smudged user's fingerprints.
- Wireless charging and fast charging
These two features have become the mainstream menu among Android smartphones. Apple finally joined in and applied a similar technology on the iPhone X.
Wireless charging is practical and simple, because it does not use a cable that connects directly to the device. Meanwhile, fast charging shorten the time required to charge the battery.
- Bezel less screen
Xiaomi Mi Mix that glide last year appear surprising because it carries the concept of display bezel less. However, in fact a similar concept has already been shown Sharp through Aquos series in 2014.
Today's Android flagship phones carry a lot of less bezel screens. The look of the iPhone X in this case is similar to Essential Phone, Google's Android design smartphone, because it has a top panel that juts into the screen to accommodate the front camera module.
- AMOLED screen
Over the years, the iPhone has always used a LCD type screen instead of the more vibrant and flexible AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode). Later, middle-class Android manufacturers like Asus have started switching to AMOLED.
Apple then participated. AMOLED screen is usually made by Korean manufacturer duo, LG and Samsung. Both have long been wearing OLED display in their respective products.
- Augmented Reality (AR)
Like the bezel less screen, Augmented Reality (AR) is a relatively new technology trend in the smartphone world. Two Android manufacturers, namely Lenovo (Phab 2 Pro) and Asus (ZenFone AR) began offering AR features to mainstream consumers. Lenovo since mid 2016 ago, while Asus in early 2017.
Apple had demonstrated its AR technology teaser at the WWDC 2017 conference a few months ago. Instead of Virtual Reality, Apple is more interested in AR that combines a variety of graphics and computer information with the real world.
- Double camera
In April 2014, HTC One M8 introduced the concept of two cameras that can simulate the effect of Depth-of-Field (opaque background) like a DSLR camera. Since it started many emerging dual camera phones.
Apple's first dual camera smartphone is the iPhone 7 Plus, which was introduced even a year ago, by pairing the camera with a wide angle lens and a second camera with short telephoto lenses.
- Without the home button
iPhone X does not have space for the physical home button because almost all the front consists of the screen. The function of this button was replaced by the gesture of finger gestures sweeping the screen from below, either to wake the device or return to the home screen.
Later Android manufacturers have also "eliminated" many physical home buttons from the face of the device, in order to gain a wider screen display. The latest is Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.
I would clearly prefer android... The iOS is so constraining. But I also respect if people say they love iOS.
