Iphone X. Bionic chip crushes the Note 8, OnePlus 5 in benchmarks

The iPhone X (pronounced iPhone 10) is the company's first smartphone to feature a full-screen display, as it sets its sights on the likes of the Galaxy Note 8. There's also an all-new 'Super Retina' resolution, a reinforced glass design and support for wireless charging, with the iPhone X arriving with support for the Qi charging standard.
We've rounded up everything we know about the iPhone X below, and will update this article as soon as we hear more. 
Release dateAs expected, the iPhone X won't be released at the same time as the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, which will start shipping on 22 September.
Instead, Apple has announced that iPhone X pre-orders will begin on 27 October, with shipping to begin 3 November.
PriceThe iPhone X will be made available in 64GB and 256GB configurations, which will fetch £999 and £1,149 in the UK, respectively. Pricing in the US starts at $999. 
Apple will also make the handset available through its iPhone Upgrade Program, with monthly payments starting at £56.45.
Naturally, Carphone Warehouse has been quick to announce that it'll be stocking the three new iPhones, and pre-registration has kicked off for the iPhone X. It has also started taking pre-orders for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

EE will be selling the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and has been quick to launch a registration page for interested customers. It will also be the only UK network to offer the Apple Watch 3. 
O2 will be ranging both the iPhone 8 and iPhone X when pre-orders begin on 15 September and 27 October, respectively.

18/9/17: Apple's A11 Bionic chip has been put through its paces in GeekBench 4, and has crushed the likes of the Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 and OnePlus 5. The iPhone X's multi-core score came in at 10,069, trumping the Exynos 8995-powered Note 8 which scored 6,784. Antutu benchmarking scored have also leaked, and show the iPhone X with a combined score of 226,058 - more than 45,000 points ahead of the closest Android competitor. 
15/9/17: Apple's Face ID technology will support just one registered face per device, TechCrunch reports. This could be an issue for some that have the fingerprints of their partner, or kids, registered on their current iPhone, with devices currently supporting up to five fingerprints per device.
14/9/17: Apple has spoken out about the Face ID fail (below) it suffered on Tuesday and has blamed the glitch on a lockout mechanism which was triggered by clumsy staff handling the device. A company spokesperson told Yahoo: "People were handling the device for [the] stage demo ahead of time and didn't realise Face ID was trying to authenticate their face.
"After failing a number of times, because they weren't Craig [Federighi], the iPhone did what it was designed to do, which was to require his passcode."

By  Chris Martin   | 31 Oct 16 Share Tweet Send Comments PRICE WHEN REVIEWED £539 inc VAT SONY XPERIA XZ REVIEW Announced during  IFA 2016 in Berlin , Sony’s Xperia XZ is the latest flagship smartphone to enter the 2016 market, boasting impressive tech, especially in the camera department - but how does it compare to the likes of  Samsung’s Galaxy S7 , or the HTC 10? Here's our Sony Xperia XZ review.  See also:   Best phone 2016 . Also see:  Best Black Friday Phone Deals Sony's range of smartphone is quite possibly more confusing than ever, but it's partly because it's in a transition period. It's leaving the flagship Z range behind – as well as the other letters such as E, M and C – in favour of the new X line which will cover all sizes and budgets. With no numbers in use, it's hard to tell where X handsets sit in the range. For example, there's the  XA ,...

the full review of Google Pixel XL

Image
Design Let’s address the elephant in the room – the Pixel XL is basically the closest you’ll ever come to an iPhone running Android. Somewhere in Cupertino, there’s likely to be a team of lawyers pouring over Google’s latest flagship and looking at every patent, which is likely what Google did when coming up with this design. By way of comparison, the Nexus line-up has always offered quirky, unique designs  (though sometimes closely inspired by Google’s partner OEMs designs)  that stood out amongst a sea of competition, and the generic design of the Pixel XL removes this. The front especially doesn’t stand out at all, and you could easily mistake it for another generic smartphone, especially with the bottom chin beneath the display essentially being wasted space. The design itself is almost certain to be the most polarizing element of the Pixel XL and personally, I’m on the fence. While the design was generic at first, it has definitely grown on me but at the same...
