According to our mobile phone expert
The Apple iPhone Xs 256GB Gold is the successor of the iPhone X, which you can tell from their identical design. The smartphone's innovations can mainly be seen under its hood. The device is faster and saves more power, thanks to the new A12 chip. The portrait mode in the dual 12-megapixel camera has also been improved. After taking a photo in this mode, you can adjust the depth of field effect to your liking. Just like its predecessor, the smartphone has a virtually borderless 5.8-inch OLED screen, Face ID, and it supports wireless charging. This device has a large storage capacity of 256GB. This is useful if you take photos and videos in the highest resolution all day long and use a lot of apps.

This iPhone is a joy to use. It exudes luxury, feels good in the hand, has a beautiful camera, very good smartphone stereo speakers, has a beautiful OLED screen. The camera has been significantly improved compared to the iPhone X and it is more resistant to water and has stronger glass.

After an iPhone 7, I switched to the Xs since today. Clearly an upgrade, it has a very good camera, good sound, fantastically clear OLED screen, the phone feels good quality and heavy. Haven't tested all the new features yet, I haven't tested the device extensively yet. I compared it in the store with an X. I must say that they don't differ much optically. Because of the rather hefty purchase price of the Xs, I would only switch if you have a slightly older device (e.g. Iphone 6/7/8)

After a long time of hesitation, I replaced my iPhone SE with this XS. I have to get used to the size - were it not that this is the "smallest" iPhone of the current generation. On the plus side: The screen is excellent, FaceID works fast (even in the dark) and the battery easily lasts 2 days (perhaps different if you're addicted to social media) where my iPhone SE had to be charged every day.
