iPhone XS Proves Faster Than iPhone X but Slower than Galaxy Note 9 in LTE Speed Test

When I was living in Switzerland, one of the operators there allowed subscribers to have one number on two sims, Shame they don’t still do that.
I usually get rubbish speeds around my town centre (6/7) and now I’m getting about 50 mbps.
So, Verizon is lying about being the fastest, well at lest when it comes to the iPhone Xs anyway.
Not really, i thought their implementation was great. You basically got two SIM cards and the last device to activate on the network would get line.
Not too sure about using a legacy phone as far as speed anymore. The gestures and animations for the x and xs are super fast. My speed has increased a huge amount without a home button and the gestures. iOS 12 everything is basically instant.
I have an 8, so I guess you must be right. I push an icon and it's fast but not instant.
I'm actually impressed the 7560 is keeping up so well with the Qualcomm X20. The X20 is the slightly better modem but I'd be happy with either.
Band 71 support is really important to me, glad to see it being included this year. Also proper 4 mode GNSS, LAA and 4x4 MIMO is really nice to have.
Intel need to get their **** together with their 10nm process. Otherwise it's going to be Qualcomm on TSMC's 7nm process (which will now become more refined and mature) vs 14nm Intel modems which will start to struggle in terms of efficiency/battery life.
2019 is going to be an ugly year for Intel with AMD powering ahead with a far more flexible chip design on a superior process for the first time in 13 years.

But you also bought an iPhone X.
If you amortize the cost over three years to match the poco price point, it would be as though you gave apple the same amount of money as Xiaomi for three consecutive years. Don’t think apple expects each of their iPhone customer to upgrade each year every year or every two years now. So yes you did give Xiaomi your money but you gave apple more.
Enjoy your devices, you paid for them.
Time period where device gets OS updates is very relevant though for value of the phone you are selling, turning in, or passing down to family.
If Apple made a real good update I would have given them even more. I bought the XS Max, but then in the Applestore .. compared side by side to the X, I did not find it worth the money.
Yes I enjoy the devices .
I have to confess Android is a lot of fun. I hope Xiaomi will give us Android 9 by the end of this year to play around. The only drawback is the Poco F1's camera.
Sure you did.
Expect your not using the poco f1 by itself your using it with an iPhone X.
I suspect you wouldn’t have the same conclusions if you sold the iPhone X and only used your poco f1.
Care to post a pic of both devices side by side I’m genuinely curious to see how the displays measure up to each other.
