![]() The iPhone 11 Pro notched up a single-core score of 1,335, comfortably ahead of any Android competitors. We use Geekbench 5 to benchmark a phone’s general processing power. It’s two generations behind the A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13, but that doesn’t mean it’s ready to sail off into a comfortable retirement: this phone can still out-sprint almost anything but a newer iPhone. The iPhone 11 Pro has the same A13 Bionic chip that powers the rest of the iPhone 11 range. If you want an affordable phone with a flexible, capable camera, the iPhone 11 Pro is still in the running. That said, it’s still much better than many mainstream rivals. Overall, the iPhone 11 Pro cameras are some way behind the latest high-end phones – the iPhone 13 Pro in particular is massively improved, while high-end Android phones like the OnePlus 8 Pro now offer 48MP sensors. While this doesn’t support Night Mode, it does enable 4k video at up to 60fps, and there’s 1080p slo-mo at up to 120fps. This phone swapped the 7MP front camera used on the iPhone XS with a new and better 12MP one. It can capture 4K video at up to 60 frames per second (fps), or 1,080p slo-mo video at up to 240fps. While the iPhone 11 Pro misses out on some of the latest camera features, it still offers a raft of useful video modes. In less extreme conditions it’s very capable. While later upgrades have improved what it can do, the iPhone 11 Pro will still get photos where some other modern phones can’t: we could hand-hold it and get passable shots in a room lit only by the dim screen of another smartphone. Importantly, this phone has Apple’s impressive Night Mode, which helps conjure up decent shots even in very dark scenes. However, unlike on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the flagship iPhone 13 phones, the ultra-wide lens isn’t stabilised. There’s dual optical image stabilisation, which is great for smooth video and sharp photos – particularly in low light. Its 4x optical zoom range is handy, and can be digitally enhanced up to 10x. The iPhone 11 Pro camera can’t match the latest iPhones for photo features, but it’s still a decent system. There’s no difference at all between this camera and the one on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It’s a useful improvement over the standard phone, but in all other regards the camera system is the same. This gives it a wider optical zoom range, letting you fill more of the frame with a given subject without having to get closer. The iPhone 11 Pro builds on the iPhone 11’s dual camera setup with a third, telephoto lens. ![]() Apple only introduced faster rates with the ProMotion screens introduced on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s an irritation when most rivals have a much less intrusive camera cut out.įinally it’s worth mentioning that the iPhone 11 Pro screen has a 60Hz refresh rate. In apps like the VLC player, you may even need to rotate the phone to access all the controls. It’s unobtrusive most of the time, but play a full-screen movie or game and it gobbles up part of the picture. This characteristic black chunk at the top of the screen houses the earpiece, and the gubbins needed to make FaceID work. The iPhone 11 Pro has slightly thicker borders than newer iPhones and some Android rivals – even mainstream ones like the Google Pixel 4a.Īs with all modern iPhones, the notch for the front camera is a more significant issue. At 2,436×1,125, its resolution is slightly lower, too. ![]() It’s simply a much better panel, offering greater brightness, much higher contrast, wider viewing angles and – in theory – also saving power.Īt 5.8”, the iPhone 11 Pro’s screen is marginally smaller than the 6.1” displays found in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. While the mainstream iPhone had a dated, 6.1” LCD, the iPhone 11 Pro got an OLED screen with a much higher resolution. This phone’s display is the single best reason to choose it over the iPhone 11. Overall it’s a smart phone to look at, and a comfortable one to use – most users will be able to type one-handed without too much trouble. ![]() As a result, the iPhone 11 Pro sits a little more comfortably in the hand, although the advantage is lost if you put it in a case. This was the last generation of iPhone with curved sides: on the iPhone 12 and 13 they’re straight, with sharper edges. The latter is waterproofed to a greater standard – Apple says it can survive being submerged at four metres – rather than two – for 30 minutes. There’s one difference you can’t see between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. Its mid-sized rear camera hump has three black lenses as opposed to two, and its glass rear panel is frosted rather than glossy. Compare it to the iPhone 11, though, and it looks very different – it’s about 10% smaller for a start. They’re not identical – at 144x71mm the newer phone is fractionally bigger, and it weighs 11 grams more. The iPhone 11 Pro is physically very similar to the iPhone XS it replaced. ![]()
