1. Front camera
I read that the iPhone XR has only 1 front camera. Does that mean that we cannot take selfies using iPhone XR? If I have misunderstopod, then what difference is the camera function compared with other previous iPhones (where they have dual cameras)? Any deficiencies in iPhone XR in this regard?

2. Dual sim card

I also read that it can store 2 sim cards. Does it mean if we have 2 lines (one Maxis, one Celcom), then we can switch between these 2 lines anytime? But what about the Apps - certain Apps (like WhatsApp) can use with only 1 telco line at a time).... unless you back-up, then delete and re-install WhatsApp under a different telco simcard.... but this would be troublesome.

How does it work?

1. XR is having both the same selfie and main camera as the other latest models. The only missing camera would be the telephoto lens, which means it's only using digital instead of the optical zoom. The portrait mode is only limited to human objects.

2. Only a few models like Hong Kong is having physical dual sim. Our very own MY sets are having 1 physical and another e-sim (yet to be officially launched by local telco(s) as of now). Only 1 whatsapp can be used at one time, OFFICIALLY.

1. No optical zoom means cannot zoom while taking photos? I don’t understand what you mean by limited to humans for portraits.

2. e-Sim? What is that?

Optical zoom is directly using the telephoto lens which is much clearer for zoomed-in photos comparing XR using digital zoom.

eSIM is like a SIM card/mobile no directly uploaded to the phone, rather than the common physical SIM card.

The best is just take a look at the review videos in YouTube for a better idea.

Thank you for your patience. I didn’t know there is such thing as e-sim. Not very updated with these smart phones 🤣🤣

1. Difference between opical and digital zoom
https://www.dummies.com/photography/digital...digital-camera/

Portrait mode in iPhone XR is only limited to taking humans as the subject. iPhone XS / Max can take bokeh photos of ANY object, while the iPhone XR can only take bokeh photos of PEOPLE only.
2. Esim is a digital sim without a physical card. Our current sims from Digi, Maxis, Celcom, etc are physical sims where we need to put in a sim card into the phone

Thank you, dino.

If use XR to take object photos or landscape, it will be blur?

Most phones have only one front camera. Surely your concern would be the rear camera? smile.gif

Isn’t rear camera for selfie? No?
