okay so let's just begin with the key
specifications that matter here with the
iphone 10r a 6.1 inch 1792 by 828
display
on the rear a single 12 megapixel camera
capable up to 4k 60p three gigs of ram
in the body of this phone
also has the apple a12 bionic chip and a
2942
milliamp hour battery inside the body
all right so let's talk about the build
with this phone 194 grams is what the
iphone 10r weighs
and it's a pretty weighty phone a little
bit chunky as well
on the sides you'll see this thing comes
in right around 8.3 millimeters thick
and it does have gorilla glass on the
front and back also this phone is
capable
of ip67 dust and water resistance
however i did get it wet one time
and the speakers got really loaded with
water and it sounded really tiny it took
me a while to get that water out so i
wouldn't recommend
you taking this thing anywhere in deep
water nothing like that but overall the
build in 2021
definitely a go i still think it's
premium i still think it feels great
uh the curved edges still feel very nice
rounded corners they feel comfortable in
the hand so
it's still a go okay so when it comes to
the 10 hours display in 2021 couple
things that are great couple things that
aren't the first things that are great
are that it gets plenty bright 625 nits
will definitely beat out a lot of other
phones not every phone gets that bright
in addition i think the 10r does have
plenty of color
on board here it's not overly saturated
or anything like that but it does give a
good
colorful display i feel like and then it
also does have support for dark mode
night shift and true tone and videos
look pretty good
and tex also looks pretty sharp
on this phone now i will state that the
iphone 10r though does have some
downsides and the downsides of this
display
are that of course doesn't hit the 800
nits of the pro display
but it's the resolution the resolution
of this display just not
clearly not as good as the other iphones
now there's been numerous videos
comparing
more sharp iphones to this iphone but
the iphone 12 clearly is a better
display with oled
this being lcd if you prefer liquid
crystal displays you'll
you'll prefer this one over oled which
can strain certain people's eyes
depending on how you adjust
to those panels so do try out an oled
in-store maybe look at lcd see which one
looks better
to your eye okay guys so being honest
with you here with the software it feels
just like any other iphone it's
super smooth so the a12 bionic chipset
has not skipped the beat
and if you bought this phone in 2018 you
still have rock solid performance
there's no slowdown whatsoever here
with a 10r having four gigs of ram or
three gigs of ram excuse me
is not really a big issue here for this
device either it still performs
exceptionally well on the day-to-day
with that seven nanometer chip apple was
ahead of its time here with the cpu
and you're also able to run your
favorite games on here in 2021 with no
problem it does warm up a little bit
because there's a glass
back on the rear of this phone but i
have no issues running games
while they won't load as fast as the
latest 12 12 pro max
phones like that they still will fire
right up and they'll play
just fine now when it comes to the
storage you could get this phone all the
way up to 256 gig which you see here
which i think was fantastic for the 10r
so if you buy one now
you'll be able to get a cheaper version
of a 128 gig 64 gig
or a 256 gig let's talk about the
cameras the iphone 10r does have a 12
megapixel rear camera cable up to 4k at
60
on that back camera up here and you can
switch it right there in video settings
now if we go ahead and record it's still
a very exceptional video in good light
there's no night mode officially
on this one you'll have to get it third
party through some applications
but it does have smart hdr and the
photos do turn out
pretty amazing and i like how it's just
a single lens it makes the camera
really simple to use versus having all
these extra lenses on these new phones
and honestly i'm still pretty happy with
the results here i think that the newer
phones got sharper they do a little bit
better with high dynamic
range and things like that but the
iphone x rear camera is still an
exceptional
camera to have on a phone now the
front-facing camera can
has been updated quite a bit it doesn't
really match up to the rear so this is a
back step here if you use a 10r in 2021
if you decide to pick this over
something newer than this
you are going to be stepping back here
in the front-facing camera so way how
much selfie quality matters to you
because this can only do hd 30 video on
the front
and the selfie quality is not as great
because there's a 7 megapixel versus
apple matching
the consistent 12 megapixel rear cameras
on the new ones with 12 on the front
here
so this is a major step back i think for
the 10r so selfie fans will probably
want to go
with an 11 okay so when it comes to
sound
[Music]
so the sound 2021 is definitely
acceptable it comes out of the top and
the bottom
speakers of this phone i'm pretty happy
with it you do have to use bluetooth if
you want to connect to headphones and
stuff like that though and the battery
life on the 10r is pretty
excellent this phone doesn't have the
largest one but at 29.42
and great optimization of ios this phone
can go the distance it's actually
more impressive than some other iphones
that are currently on sale today i think
the iphone 12 gets worse battery life
than this could be due to the 5g
and the oled display but this one right
here easily gets through a day
with no problem so does the 11 but this
one is no exception either so you'll
also have capabilities for
wireless charging on the rear and fast
charging on this phone so it's not just
that it can charge
you know fast but you can also throw it
on any qi wireless charger pretty nice
to have and the face id
on this phone actually works just as
well as pretty much all the other face
id iphones i didn't have
major issues but i will say that the
angles on the 11 pro
and the 12 series you can actually open
on a little bit more extreme angles on
the newer ones but this one still worked
pretty fantastic okay the worst thing
about the 10r though has been
its radios like the signal strength when
you're using the phone
on 4g lte this was one of the worst
iphones i've used in this respect
now keep in mind i do live in a major
metropolitan area chicago so
definitely it was pretty decent for me
but once i started going out in the
suburbs and stuff like that i started to
lose signal there was times i couldn't
even use 4g lte
so depending on where you live this
could be a bad phone in terms of that
and that has to do with these not being
qualcomm modems and it's even worse than
the
10s maxes in here as well so this is not
the best now don't get me wrong don't
take that statement with oh
this guy's saying i'm not even going to
be able to make a phone call i'm not
even going to be able to use my internet
forget the 10r
no that's not what i'm saying what i'm
saying is not going to be as reliable as
some other iphones
and it's not going to be as reliable as
some other samsung competitor phones
phone call quality itself though was
pretty good when you did have signal and
speakerphone was loud enough for sure so
that's
it is the iphone 10r worth it in 2021
from 349 to around 600 bucks for this
phone depending on where you're at
you can get this in five different
colors black red yellow blue coral white
you know it's it's a tough one because
you have competing competing phones with
newer features
at a similar or cheaper price so you
really gotta want
apple and you're really gonna want a
bigger iphone at a cheaper price you
don't want the se 2020
because it's an older design you don't
want to pay the extra for the 11
that's where the 10r really comes in
handy it could be a great backup phone
or if you're getting a phone
for maybe a parent or maybe it's a first
time phone first time iphone for a
teenager something like that
or even if this is just in your budget
range and you just need a newer iphone
some and you need an iphone you need
something pretty good i think the 10r is
still a recommended iphone
