I was at the iPhone X launch in Lagos last week. Of course, what is a launch event without an opportunity to spend some hands-on time with the product? Yes! Find out my first impressions of Apple’s latest smartphone in this Apple iPhone X Hands-on review.
The iPhone X is drop-dead gorgeous. That trademark quality of craftsmanship that Apple is known for is written all over this sleek device. It is a beautiful merging of glass and metal with nice, rounded corners.
The FullView display with 18:9 aspect ratio is gorgeous too. At first, it felt strange holding an iPhone that had no Home button. I wondered how well it work. To get back to the home screen from any app or menu, just slide up from the bottom edge of the screen. I repeated the gesture at every opportunity to see the success rate. I got a 100% success rate: it worked every time. You certainly won’t miss the now gone hardware Home button. Or you will, if it is your preference.
The Apple iPhone X is also water and dust resistant and a dual camera on its rear side. The iPhone has always had great camera implementation. Apple is bragging about this one too, and the sample photos I took do not suggest that the bragging is empty. I got some pretty cool shots with nice depth and details.
Unfortunately, there was no way to transfer the photos to my own smartphone, so sorry; I have nothing to show you. The phone has FaceID, of course, but I didn’t get to try that out.

The Lagos launch was an evening event with very dim, coloured lighting, which reflects on the pictures.
