Been checking out the x in shops past one week with the intention to buy it. First impression was wow but after few minutes of usage, it’s pretty underwhelming for the price. Sitting beside the Samsung S8, the X’s interface somehow looks dated. Screen also not so vibrant as compared to S8 unless set at maximum brightness.
For me personally, I would not pay more than RM4000 for the X. And now with the S8 at 2.5k, buying the X at almost 6k seems absurd.
However, it’s all down to personal choice. I’m due for a new phone as my 6Plus is pretty damaged. Most probably will go for S8 while waiting for the next version of X as the current version not really worth the price tag.
The only thing still making me hesitant is the need to learn a new OS (android) after years of using iOS (since iPhone 3G).
I wouldnt say the X or rather IOS UI looks dated. It has been like this since years ago with improvements coming in here and then. But I would agree that the display still feels not impressive especially when compared to vibrant displays like the S8/S8+/note 8 even with the new OLED screen. I have tried toying with the settings which include setting the colour filters, turning off true tone and even turning to maximum brightness but Im still not happy with the display. I am starting to suspect the tempered glass to be the cause of the phone turning brightness down but I have tried phones on display at resellers and found the displays are the same.
Well turning to Android would be a more cost effective move but do bear in mind that you would have issues switching your data and apps over as some of them are not 'switchable over' especially app or games data.

Yeah I’m finally an silver 256 owner, upgraded from i6. Love the size. Not too big. Find it heavier.
And strangely they stil use the same cable as i6 and ear phone.
I tot a lot has been mentioning about the usb c or something like that.
I haven been following. Bought it just wanted an upgrade.
Beats me too. For Rm5888, why cant they provide the USB-C adapter and USB-C cable rather than the same old adapter and lightning cable?
