This innovation has appeared for the first time in the world of smartphones.

On September 12, Apple presented the futuristic iPhone X. The audience has already expressed its "fi", rightly noting that the main innovation, namely the frameless screen, we have already seen at Samsung. However, there are many other innovations in the iPhone X that have been introduced to the smartphone market for the first time.

1. Face ID

The idea of facial recognition to unlock a device is not new, but no technology has been perfect. Famed for doing everything smartly, Apple introduced TrueDepth, an ultra-precise 3D scanning system in iPhone X, which, together with machine learning, guarantees 100 percent recognition, even if you don't shave or wear glasses and a hat. At least that's what Apple said.

2. True Tone

First introduced with iPad Pro, this technology does a very simple thing - it adjusts the colors and white balance on the screen to suit the ambient lighting conditions. As a result, the image on the device always looks the way it should. True Tone is now on iPhone X.

3. 4K @ 60fps

Apple first introduced 4K video recording in the iPhone 6s. By that time, there were already many smartphones with the same function, but only in the iPhone it was possible to make videos of unlimited length, and even with steep image stabilization. But the iPhone X was the first smartphone to learn how to record smooth 4K video at 60fps - just what you need for dynamic scenes.

4. Slo-mo in Full HD at 240fps

Yes, there is one smartphone that can shoot slower video - this is the Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which can handle 720 / 960p. However, when it comes to Full HD resolution, the iPhone X is ahead of the pack with 240fps. This is not just slo-mo, but ultra-quality slo-mo.

5. Animoji

Funny animated emoji in Apple Messages. The TrueDepth camera, also responsible for Face ID, creates a mask of your face based on the movements of 50 muscles. The iPhone X then applies this mask to the virtual animated character, and it exactly repeats your facial expressions. In this way, you can even record audio messages.

6. Portrait lighting

For portraits, iPhone X brightens or darkens areas in the frame in real time. So the smartphone simulates different types of lighting: stage, backlight and others.

7. TrueDepth camera

There have never been such front cameras! Yes, the resolution is only 7 megapixels, but the camera can blur the background, so selfies look like they were taken with a DSLR.

8. Flash True Tone Quad-LED Slow Sync

True Tone Quad-LED flash was already in the iPhone 7, but in the iPhone X it received a slow sync mode Slow Sync, which is necessary for night and evening photography to accurately illuminate the subject and at the same time work out the background. It works like this: the shutter of the camera works out a long exposure, and the flash sends out a short pulse of light.

9. Chipset with neuroprocessor

Apple has included a dual-core neuroprocessor in the A11 Bionic chipset capable of up to 600 billion operations per second. It was thanks to him that such innovative features of the iPhone X as Face ID, Portrait Lighting and Animoji became possible.

10. Really solid screen

Apple was not the first to create a completely bezel-less smartphone with a solid screen. However, it was she who managed to occupy the maximum possible area of the front panel with the display, getting rid of areas both above and below it.
