My iPhone X is almost identical to the iPhone 11 Pro in everyday use since I have no battery problems.

Also I don’t see any big difference between my camera and the iPhone 11 Pro camera when I was taking pictures in the Apple Store. Maybe if I would spend time trying to look for tiny little details, but i don’t care about photo’s that much.

This. Other than night mode, which I will never use, the pictures I took with the 11 Pro looked just like my XS. Hence why the Pro is getting returned.
 
My release day X is holding up just fine. Like many others, I'm holding out for the 2020 release cycle to upgrade. A couple of weeks ago, my wife finally decided to make the switch from Android to iOS, so I got her the 11 Pro. Although it's noticeably faster than my X and the camera system is definitely better, it's not enough to make me spend over $1,000 on a phone that I would only keep for a year.
 
The only place you’ll see a speed difference between the X and the 11 Pro is downloading or exporting large files... The camera system is better as well as the graphic performance when playing games on the pro but, in day to day usage such as surfing the web, texting or opening closing apps the difference is minuscule. I’ll be keeping my X until at least next year...
 
because otherwise you wont have a point of reference on how much the X has slowed down or how much faster tasks could possibly be achieved.... pretty obvious.
But it doesn’t how the iPhone X is performing — as in it would be the same whether or not iPhone 11 was released. I guess if the actual question is how do people find the performance of iPhone 11 compared to X, that’s somewhat different.

Unless your loading large demanding games, importing or exporting large files you will notice no difference in everyday applications or usage. Quite a few speed test between the X, XS and 11 Pro and the only areas where the X suffered was in the examples I listed above. As a matter of fact, the XS beat the 11 Pro because apparently the apps haven’t been optimized for the new Pro.
 
My launch day X is doing just fine like others I’m holding out for next years phones, nothing in the last two updates has pushed me to want to upgrade.

I upgraded from the X to Pro Max and the camera, videos and extra battery life are well worth it to me. Sure the X is still good today but 87% battery health left didn’t leave me with enough juice if I needed to use the X outside for extended periods of time.
 
I gave my two-year-old X to my son using a 6S and upgraded myself to 11 Pro Max.

I will use my 11 Pro Max for two-three years and by then my X will have been in service for four-five years.

Apple phones are the only phones you can rely on quality hardware with longevity and continuous software support that doesn’t make your phone obsolete in a couple years. So I’d say the X has three more years of being relative just like the 6S lasted.

Hell of a phone.

Oled phones in general are supposed to exhibit some type of burn in. Has anyone has any with their iPhone X since it’s the earliest oled? I’m thinking that Apple did a well enough job with calibration to avoid this. Has this been true so far?

I guess that’s the answer OP is looking for from everyday users.
 
My X is still super smooth on iOS13. First week was rough but after the patches it's been great.

iOS13 is buggy as all hell, but the X itself is great and fast.
