Hello everyone,

I'd like to have your opinion on this.

I'm going from android to IOS and I cant decide between these two models:
IPhone XS for 650€ or iPhone 11 for 750€.

I would to hear you guys about your experience between both models, which one should I go to?

Thank you so much!

Edit: Both bought new

I had to make the same decision. I got the iPhone 11 128 for 770 because of the larger screen, better camera better processor. First i was skeptical about the lower resolution but i have to say the LCD is as good as a LCD can get.

Same here, losing oled when switching from my x I honestly don’t feel the difference, I do occasionally miss the optical zoom, but besides that the 11 is great for the price

The Xs is a great phone but the only reason I'd consider it over the 11, would be for the zoom camera lens.
The 11 has better battery life and as stated above the fact that it's a LCD screen is a non-issue. Apple's LCD screens are about the best out there. My son had the Xr and now the 11, and compared side by side to my Pro Max there's hardly a noticeable difference. They're fantastic phones. If the 11 had the zoom, I'd be all about it.

I’d go for the XS but that’s just me.
I value Apple’s OLED displays a lot and I don’t see the 11 being worth an extra 100 euro.

That said, it’s a tough choice. The A13 is a nice update from the A12 which itself wasn’t much of an update over the A11, so this is the chip that has more marked improvements
You’re also getting a better camera and better battery life.

battery life was my main reason from going from the X to 11 Pro. I’d say if thats important to you then get the 11

but for me personally the oled and cheaper price of the XS wins that deal for me.

I would only consider the XS if size and cost matters. I just bought my wife a XS because she likes small phones and it was so dirt cheap in contract, the phone was almost for free.

Bigger 6.1" display is important. The 5.8" feels small in today's world.

Even if it were 11 vs. 11 Pro, I would still pick the 11.

Skip the XS. I got one and returned it. I also got the 11 and returned it too. However, the XS was due to poor reception, sound quality, and I didn't like the screen. The 11 was just returned because it didn't feel like an upgrade from my 7 Plus.

Out of both of them, if I had to keep one or the other it would have been the 11. I like LCD. It's a good size. It's fast. Battery life was decent. Reception was pretty stable.

I got the Pro Max for the battery but I still prefer LCD screens honestly.

Xs: for premium feel / OLED screen / telephoto lens

11: for the battery / overall better camera quality & features (like ultra wide angle and night mode)

Go with whatever is more important to you.
