Although there have arguably been excellent handsets launched this year already, analysts are eagerly anticipating the release of Apple and Google’s flagship phones. Both the iPhone XI and the Pixel 3 are scheduled for release later this year, and expectations are high. Some details regarding the supposed benchmark of Apple’s next handset have apparently been available for a while.
Due to rumors and leaks, a blurry picture of what can be expected from both the iPhone XI and Pixel 3 is forming, New Atlas reports. For starters, many analysts seem to agree that three iPhone models are set for release in 2018.
One is likely to be the iPhone 9, which is predicted to be cheaper than the upcoming iPhone XI. The latter product is also expected to keep the same $999 base price as the iPhone X. Then there’s the third rumored iPhone model, which might feature a 6.1-inch LCD screen. This one might retail for as low as $700.
As for the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL, both Google handsets are predicted to have similar internal components. Their biggest difference is down to the sizes of their screens, which inevitably affects their prices.
The cheaper model is expected to come with a 5.4-inch screen, while the more expensive version will supposedly have a 6.2-inch screen. Both are likely to feature high-quality image-processing capabilities even with single-sensor rear cameras.
The actual prices of the devices have not been officially released as of this writing, but Google might aim for a similar price point to its previous phones. The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL retailed at $649 and $849, respectively.
In terms of performance, a benchmark for the iPhone XI is apparently already available for viewing, Gizmodo U.K. reports. This benchmark test comes courtesy of Geekbench, which recently added the upcoming Apple smartphone to its listings.
It would appear that the iPhone XI sports the same six-core processor as the iPhone X. However, its base frequency seems higher at 2.49GHz, compared to the previous model’s 2.39GHz. Core testing scores also showed a marked improvement, with the 4,673 single-core and 10,912 multi-core scores.
