Unboxing the Stunning Gold iPhone XS Max

Gold iPhone XS Max Unboxing Photos

We haven’t seen the same buzz for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max like we had seen for the iPhone X last year, which was a major upgrade with the all-new edge-to-edge design and Face ID. But I missed a larger or Plus version of the iPhone X. Apple has addressed it with the launch of the iPhone XS Max, so I pre-ordered it.

To start things off for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max launch day, check out our unboxing photos of the gold iPhone XS Max.

  • Like last year’s iPhone X, the iPhone XS Max came in a white box, with the colored picture of the device on the top of the box. There isn’t any iPhone XS Max branding on the box. It just says “iPhone” on the box.
  • I usually prefer the space grey color, but was tempted to get the new gold color. I am glad I ordered it, as the gold iPhone XS Max is absolutely stunning. The back panel is light gold or slightly beige-ish, but the shiny gold chassis transforms the look of the gold iPhone XS Max. Thanks to the edge-to-edge screen, and lack of bezels, the front panel is black and not white, which was one of the reasons I didn’t like the gold color on the iPhones previously. Some of you might find it a bit too flashy. But I get the gold iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max are going to do very well in China.
  • The only concern I had about the iPhone XS Max with its 6.5-inch OLED screen was the size. But I am happy to report that it is very comfortable to hold, thanks to the rounded edges. If you’re switching from an iPhone 7 Plus or iPhone 8 Plus, then you will certainly appreciate it.
  • In the box, you get the paperboard, USB power adapter, EarPods with Lightning Connector and Lightning to USB Cable. Unfortunately, as we had reported earlier, Apple doesn’t include the Lightning to 3.5mm dongle in the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max box.

Here are our first photos of the stunning gold iPhone XS Max. We have tried to capture various aspects of the device in addition to the unboxing, so let us know what you think. The indoor lightning wasn’t great today, so the photos haven’t come out very well. I will try to take them again tomorrow and update them, so please bear with me.

Vivo Showcases the World’s First Smartphone with an In-Display Fingerprint Sensor We’ve been hearing about in-display fingerprint sensors for quite a while. Notably, Samsung was rumored to include an in-display sensor in the Galaxy S8 , but reportedly opted not to because the tech wasn’t ready. Vivo, though, has made real progress. In July 2017, the China-based company teamed up with Qualcomm to demo an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor — one of the first commercial examples of in-display fingerprint scanning. Then, in November, Synaptics announced its Clear ID in-display fingerprint sensors , and said a “top five” smartphone OEM would use it in 2018.  Some analysts predicted that the OEM was Vivo, and the company confirmed those suspicious at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show. “Today’s showcase of a ready-to-produce in-display fingerprint scanning smartphone featuring an optical fingerprint sensor is a big leap forward in bringing consumers this long-awaited, futuristic mobi

Nokia 6 (2018) Official with Snapdragon 630 SoC, Bothie Camera Mode and OZO Audio After weeks of leaks and rumors , HMD Global on Friday finally took the wraps off the Nokia 6 (2018) , its latest mid-range smartphone for 2018. It’s the successor to the last year’s Nokia 6 , which was announced in China around the same time a year ago, and it improves upon its predecessor while offering a more competitive package all-around. At first glance, the new Nokia 6 (2018) looks just like the old Nokia 6, but there are a couple of key differences worth noting. For instance, the fingerprint scanner has moved to the back, and the capacitive navigation buttons have been replaced by standard Android software navigation keys. In addition, the stereo speakers found on the original Nokia 6 have been replaced by a single bottom-firing speaker.

Dirac partners with AAC Technologies to Bring Enhanced Audio Quality to Smartphones, Smart Speakers, and more For the past few years, audio quality in mobile devices has become an increasingly higher priority. There was a time when audio quality was valued only by a few smartphone vendors, but that trend is slowly changing. We have seen the arrival of smartphones which specifically promote great audio quality as a feature, such as HTC’s smartphones since the One M7 as well as LG’s V series flagships . We have also seen the rise of stereo speakers in mobile, better DACs (such as Qualcomm’s Aqstic DAC ), and in general, a better audio experience. However, there still remains quite a way to go for smartphones to improve in audio quality. This is why AAC Technologies and Dirac Research have partnered to build first-of-their-kind audio systems that integrate Dirac’s audio processing technology with AAC Technologies’ micro-speaker technology. Dirac Research is an audio technology company wh
