It had a sneak a few days ago but we will not be letting out of this thing as we also had a chance to give our own take on Apple's first almost bezel-less phone
Here is the iPhone X - first the box itself
Here is the front which is easy to guess that it is quite smaller than normal 5.5 inch iPhone models. Very good OLED display for me but it was short compared to a Quad HD resolution in a number of competitors
For this hands-on, we were able to get in the white variant with 64 GB internal memory. At least this one, the fingerprint sumdges were not that obvious. Covered with glass, too
The left has volume buttons and the right has the power button which surprising that it was a bit big. The shiny metal sides were also noticeable
Here are the other things inside the iPhone X. The reports were right that it does not have a fast charger inside the box. I will have to confirm but the lightning to 3.5 mm. audio jack adaptor was also missing from our visit.
From the number of speedtests that we watched, the A11 Bionic chip from the iPhone X was really, really fast for us from some of the key apps that we thrown in for multitasking
Camera was one of the usual strengths of iPhone so we jumped right in. Processing time for the images is no-brainer as well as the very good output from auto to those pics with bokeh effect. Before we left the bulding, the iPhone X's cam upgrade - the various protrait mode was also in our list from the normal one, colored and down to the black and white version. It was definitely on beta yet coz we noticed that there were still some pieces in the background when we had a pic with our arms around the waist and cannot fully covered in our weird long hair.

There are some hints that the iPhone X might also be in both local telcos here in the country. Special thanks to Mr. Art Samaniego and to the rest of Tech News Online of Manila Bulletin as they allowed us to do our OWN coverage of the iPhone X
