Apple iPhone 11 Pro (64GB) price in Kenya and key features

Design and display

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro comes with an edge to edge full-screen Super Retina XDR OLED 5.8-inch screen, with an 82.1% screen to body ratio, largely due to the massive notch that houses the front-facing camera and 3Dsensor for Face Unlock. It comes HDR10 certified with Dolby Vision. It has gorilla glass both front and back, sandwiching an aluminum frame in the middle. The glass is scratch resistant with oleophobic coating and with 120Hz touch-sensing capabilities.

For the first time, it comes with support for dual nano sim standby, albeit just for the china release. It is IP68 dust/water resistant certified and comes with NFC for Apple Pay support. Outback, it has a triple camera module, in addition to the recognizable Apple logo.

Performance and storage

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro conspicuous selling point is most definitely the flagship chipset. It the Apple A13 Bionic chipset, with a Hexa-core 2.65GHz Lightning/Thunder CPU and the 4-core Apple GPU. The memory configurations available include 4GB for RAM and 64/128/256GB internal storage, with no expandable storage options. The chipset onboard really shines, and coupled with Apple’s software, is in-arguably one of the fastest devices available in the market right now. See Apple iPhone 11.

Triple camera

Apple iPhone 11 Pro, like its peers, is absolutely a beast when it comes to the camera. This largely because of the post-shoot digital processing that iPhones are popularly known for. It comes with a triple camera set up, a 12mp wide, a 12mp ultra-wide and a 12mp telephoto. The photos in this particular case are the best in the market. They have the best dynamic range available anywhere and the detail is bananas. The portrait is superb and many of the photos are very well exposed. It also comes with night mode, which is very good.

The video can support up to 4k in 60/30/24fps and 1080p at up to 240fps, supported by optical image stabilization and stereo sound recording. The selfie is a dual 12mp wide shooter, with HDR, Panorama, and Face Detection with a TOF 3D depth sensor, which comes in clutch during Face Unlock and portraits shots. It can shoot 4k video up to 60fps and 1080p up to 120fps with gyro assisted image stabilization, which isn’t something you see every day.

Battery

Apple iPhone 11 Pro comes with a relatively small battery. This one comes with a decent 3036 mAh Li-ion on removable battery. But let that mislead you. The battery management is industry-leading and it will easily last you throughout the day. Also, we get the 18W USB Power Delivery 2.0 fast-charging capability, with the right brick, able to charge up to 50% in 30 mins. We also have Qi-certified wireless charging. All things considered, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro has great battery life though it is still small compared with the competition.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Software

If there a department where the Apple iPhone 11 Pro does not compromise, it is the OS. It comes with IOS 13, up gradable to IOS 13.5, which has very tight integration with other Apple products and services, making one of the best optimized OS in the industry. The phone has better app support and updates are almost guaranteed for the life of the device. It doesn’t have an app drawer and notifications aren’t grouped either. So in actual use, it will always take a few extra steps to access things like settings as shortcuts aren’t the focus of this OS. However, there is no 3rd party bloatware, making the ecosystem rich and virus free.

Conclusion

All dynamics considered, the Apple iPhone 11 Pro is the true king among flagships. We get the massive HDR10 OLED screen plus the fast Bionic A13 chipset. So better performance, great camera system, and very intuitive IOS with great support and integration. That is in addition to Face Unlock, 4k recording, and the edge to edge screen. Despite the big notch and a small battery, it is still one of the better-designed iPhones and probably one of the more powerful phones available in the market.
