Apple iPhone XR 64GB gelb

Smartphones im Test: Gute Handys gibt es für weniger als 200 Euro

Das Apple iPhone XR besticht vor allem durch ansprechende Farben und super Laufzeiten, ohne sich echte Schwächen zu leisten.

Sind euch bessere Ergebnisse im Portrait-Modus und ein höher auflösendes Display 300 Euro wert? Dann ist das iPhone XS für euch die erste Wahl. Das iPhone XR kann mit Apples Oberklasse ansonsten locker mithalten und dürfte beim ein oder anderen Käufer zudem mit dem Formfaktor und den Farben punkten. Es ist nicht das beste iPhone aller Zeiten - aber es wird das iPhone sein, was euch in den kommenden Jahren am häufigsten auf der Straße begegnen wird.

Cheaper than Apple’s OLED iPhones, but the XR still delivers a picture and sound performance to be proud of

The iPhone XR brings Face ID to the masses. We’re sure people will continue to rebel against the lack of Home button, but eventually we expect them to come round and embrace the larger screen, Portrait mode (front and back), animoji and memoji. We have no doubt that this will be a popular iPhone and it deserves to be. The only question is why would anyone buy an iPhone XS when the iPhone XR is just as powerful and has a bigger screen.

The iPhone XR delivers fast performance, great cameras and longer battery life than other flagship phones, all in a colorful and affordable package.

The iPhone XR is the best iPhone of the year. Yes, the iPhone XS and XS Max have better screens and more versatile cameras, but neither of them look as gorgeous as the XR in yellow, blue, or coral. The iPhone XR (pronounced “ten-R”) is also significantly more affordable and carries many of the best features from the flagships. It’s an unquestionably superb value at $750, especially if you’re still shopping around for an iPhone and the $1,000 price tag on the XS is bringing you down.

The iPhone XR is the Goldilocks of iPhones with a big screen, fantastic cameras, and future-proof power — all at price that's considerably less than the iPhone XS and XS Max.

These days, lots of smartphone makers are trying to offer more for less, and Apple is no exception. Its new iPhone XR features a lot of what makes the more premium XS and XS Max special, squeezed into a glass-and-metal package that costs significantly less. This is, as you would expect, an exercise in compromise: the XR retains the high-performance A12 chipset and delivers the best battery life we've ever seen in an iPhone in some time. But the Liquid Retina display and single camera might not be up to snuff for everyone. That said, everything Apple offers here is much, much better than just good enough. The XR is the iPhone we'd recommend to most people.
