Update, November 2: We got round to carrying out the majority of tests that we couldn't do a couple of weeks ago. You can find the results in the updated lab tests section of the review.

I reserved the phone over the net, I picked it up the next day which only took a few minutes because it was ready and waiting for me. When I got home I put it on charge for a few hours, put the SIM card went through the set up procedure , connected it to my MAC computer and downloaded all my...

Apple's iPhone XR ticks all the boxes in terms of design, quality and performance and manages to offer amazing camera quality through a single lens. And that comes down to the advantage Apple has over every other smartphone manufacturer – their own software working with their own hardware.

Cool colourful design; Excellent single lens camera; Sharp bright display; Powerful processor

No 3D Touch; Would be nice to have dual lens camera

I love it. Great phone. I've been away from iPhones since the 3GS so ya long time. I'm back and glad. It's well designed and built. Works wonderfully. The guy who gave it one star that's not fair you had a faulty device can't blame the whole product. Be real.

Editors' note, Nov. 8 : We've updated this review, originally published Oct. 23, with final battery benchmarks, camera testing, drop test results and additional impressions. The overall rating has moved from 8.8 to 8.9 and the phone has been awarded a CNET Editors' Choice.

The less expensive iPhone XR delivers most iPhone X and XS features; including an excellent big screen in a comfortable body; fast performance; Face ID and wireless charging; and a camera that's mostly as good as the iPhone XS

The iPhone XR's single rear camera lacks optical zoom and has a limited portrait mode; Its LCD screen, while large, bright and vivid, is still a step below the iPhone XS' OLED in contrast; The aluminum XR is slightly less durable than the steel XS

Used the iPhone XR for a few weeks and I have to say amazing battery life. Battery can last from 1-2 days on full charge and normal use but your use can be different from the normal use. Good screen except for some of the unsupported apps. Yes, the screen is 1792*828 6.1" 326ppi..

Good Display; Speakers are great; Battery life is very good (2942 mAh; Great Camera

Some apps don't support XR display; Notch can block out parts of video when watching

bright and colour accurate display; powerful SoC; IP67-certified; dual-SIM (eSIM; decent rear-facing camera; wireless charging; good mobile frequency coverage; excellent battery life

location accuracy could be more precise; only 12 months warranty; non-expandable memory; limited NFC functionality; no fast charger included in the box; no headphone jack

Terrible. I am not rough with my phone by any means but this case had several scratches in the pearl back within 24 hours. Also, it attracts dyes in other fabrics to discolor the case.

If you want a next-as-in-X-generation iPhone but you don't want to pay a thousand or more bucks for it, you want an XR.

I love the screen and how it fits almost all of the space; I have a bigger screen than my old iPhone (6s plus) but the phone itself is smaller; It feels modern and sleek; The battery is also much better than previous models

I don't like the headphone jack and the charger port being the same thing
