i've had 3 hours i'm impressed it. glad waited iphone x instead of buying iphone 8. [...] let me tell camera doesn't justice. color prettier in person. glass gives nice finish. oled display absolutely gorgeous. wish apple went oled sooner. colors have nice balance. i've learned swipe gestures already. easy use. face id exceeded expectations. wary of it, snappy , quick unlock phone.
