The iPhone X vs. the competition: Beautiful screens and more
The front camera on Apple's newest flagship is pretty sweet, but it isn't the only device with an edge-to-edge screen.
It's been a decade since the first iPhone was introduced, so today's big announcement from Apple marks the occasion with an "X." However, the mobile scene has changed a lot since 2007, with rival companies like Samsung, LG and HTC releasing devices that can compete with the iPhone on power, features and design. We've sized up the new iPhone X against some of the more outstanding handsets out there, including a few with edge-to-edge screens, like the LG V30. See how the X's specs compare now, and check back later this month to see how it holds up in our full review. Follow all the latest news from Apple's iPhone event here!
