iPhone X vs XS: Big Difference! (2022

The iphone 10 and 10s are like identical twins the only visual difference between them are the speaker grills one of them is a smaller on the iphone 10s and that is the only way i can tell which ones which without turning on the screens in other words these two phones look exactly the same from the outside

however i've been using the iphone 10s for almost a year at this point in the

iphone 10 for about four weeks and the more i use these phones the more

differences i find between them so from the inside these phones are more

different than you might think despite how similar they look from the outside like i said one of the speaker girls on the iphone 10s is the only visual

difference between them because they both have gorilla glass on the front and back the same stainless steel frame the

same notch the same bezels around the screen and even the power and volume buttons are in the same spot on both

phones an iphone 10 case will fit a phone 10s or vice versa both phones

also fit very nicely in my hands and they feel premium the iphone 10 is ip67 water and dust resistant but the iphone

10s is ip68 so this is one of the

differences between these phones but

it's not something you can tell just by

looking at them so when it comes to

build quality and durability the iphone

10s is better because of the better ip

rating but i think ip67 is also pretty

good and should be good enough for most

people including myself although i would

never recommend you to purposely

submerge these phones in water because

the older these phones get the less

water and dust resistant they become

that's just how it is now the screens on

both phones are also exactly the same

literally there are zero differences

between them but i think that's good

because this is a very good screen i

have no complaints about it it's a very

sharp 5.8 inch oled screen with great

contrast deep blacks good viewing angles

accurate colors and a typical max

brightness of 625 nits which makes it

visible outdoors you shouldn't have any

problems now these are 60hz screens so

obviously they're not great in terms of

refresh rate but i've said this before

and i'm going to say it again that if

you're switching from a phone with a

six-year screen then you will not notice

a difference so there's nothing to worry

about i generally feels very smooth on

these devices so even if they're lacking

a high refresher screen they should not

feel slow now since we're already

talking about speed i think it's a good

time to also talk about the processors

inside these phones because

this is where these phones

start being more different than similar

that being said the iphone 10 is powered

by apple's a11 bionic processor and the

iphone 10s is being powered by apple's

a12 bionic processor the iphone 10s has

a newer processor so in theory it's

supposed to be more powerful faster

efficient and just better than the a11

bionic however i haven't really noticed

a difference between these phones in

terms of performance but i think it's

because everyday tasks like calling

texting and browsing don't push these

phones to their limits so you don't see

a difference but when you do push these

phones to their absolute limits you do

start seeing some small differences for

example when playing graphically

intensive games on these phones like

call of duty i've noticed that although

both phones perform very well and about

the same meaning there are no frame

drops or lag on both phones the iphone

10s lets you play with the best graphics

settings and the best frame rate

settings at the same time but on the 10

you have to choose between either or but

on top of that the iphone 10 heats up

significantly more and quicker than the

iphone 10s which tells me that it's a

bit easier for the iphone 10s to process

all that information compared to the

iphone 10. another difference i've

noticed is that when these phones are

running really low on battery they

throttle performance which is fine but

the iphone 10 starts doing it at around

three percent but the iphone 10 does it

at one percent these are the differences

i've noticed between these phones when

it comes to performance but at the end

of the day these are small differences

and for most of you they might not even

matter but the reason why i'm telling

you about them is because i want to just

give you an idea about the difference

between the performance of these phones

so

considering the iphone 10 heats up and

throttles performance faster than the

iphone 10s must mean that the a12 bionic

processor is in fact more efficient and

just better than the a11

right well

yes but here's the thing apple decided

to put a

2658 milliamp hour battery in the iphone

10s which is physically smaller than the

iphone x

2716 milliamp hour battery if you're

gonna put a physically smaller battery

in a phone then the processor better be

efficient enough to at least match the

battery life of the older phone right

well that didn't really happen because

the iphone 10 has better battery life so

the processor in this phone is not quite

as efficient as i would like it to be

with 79 battery health i'm able to get

around four to four and a half hours of

screen on time on the iphone 10. on the

10s however with 78 battery health i

normally get around three and a half

hours to four hours of screen on time so

in battery life the iphone 10 beats the

10s by roughly 30 minutes which is a lot

of time but i will say that anything

below 5 hour screen on time isn't

necessarily good so the battery life on

both phones is definitely on the lower

side but yes the iphone 10 lasts longer

than the iphone 10s oh yeah and also i

almost forgot about this but the iphone

10s has four gigs of ram and the iphone

10 has three so that's also one of the

differences okay now i'll quickly tell

you about xur and then we'll talk about

the cameras on these phones hands down

the biggest difference between these

phones okay so i really like what xr

does basically they tear down classic

electronic devices and frame them as

artwork an example of that would be the

original iphone the first apple watch or

even the classic game boy so you can buy

frames like these from their website or

you can just diy the whole thing at home

if you have an old phone around and i

really like that i also talked about

this in my last video so they also sent

me a diy kit and well i decided to give

it a shot i tried tearing down an iphone

5s it wasn't as easy as i thought it

would be but man was it fun i highly

recommend you to try doing it yourself

and if i ever get another chance i would

100 do it again so if you are interested

check out the first link in the

description and if you end up buying

something from the website

make sure to use code techvault at

checkout to get 10 off your order okay

so when it comes to cameras again from

the outside there is no difference they

both have three cameras 12 megapixel

wide angle camera and 2x telephoto

camera on the back and a 7 megapixel

selfie camera both phones can even

record in the same resolution of up to

4k at 60 frames per second and 1080p at

240 frames per second for slow motion so

on paper for the most part the cameras

on both phones are exactly the same

however in actual image quality the

iphone 10s is miles better if you look

carefully you can clearly see that

photos taken from the iphone 10s have

way more dynamic range photos look more

detailed they're brighter and to me even

the colors look better on the iphone 10s

same goes for the selfie camera on the

iphone 10s it has more dynamic range

more detail and better colors in my

opinion i also noticed that the iphone

10s cameras do a much better job of

reducing noise in a photo and speaking

of noise unfortunately both phones do

not have night mode so they just can't

take good photos in low light both have

a built-in flash so you can use that at

night but i personally don't like the

look of photos in which a flash is used

portrait mode is also better on the

iphone 10s you can change the depth of

field of photos after taking them can't

do that on the iphone 10 you have no

control over depth of field so when it

comes to cameras the iphone 10s is just

better despite having more or less the

same hardware as the iphone 10 which

means it's all about the software also

fun fact did you know that selfie

cameras on almost all phones don't have

autofocus okay i want to make this

really quick so there is another i guess

big difference between these phones so

you can install ios 15 on both phones

but because of the a12 bionic processor

only the iphone 10s has all the new

features in ios 15. features like live

text and a few others are not available

on the iphone 10. i totally forgot about

this but thankfully i didn't upload the

video anyways but hopefully by now it's

clear to you which phone is better

overall i think the iphone 10s is better

if you were looking to buy one of these

phones i think it's worth paying a

little more for the iphone 10s if it

costs more wherever you live the iphone

10 does have a slightly better battery

life but i think the cameras on the

iphone 10s outweigh the 30 min the extra

30 minutes you might get on the iphone

10.
