Apple iPhone 16 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Apple iPhone 16 Pro - the best again?

Smartphones from the American company Apple with the Pro prefix have always been loved by the audience, because they combined all the best that is on the smartphone market. Amazing software optimization, top technical characteristics, advanced photographic capabilities - this is only an incomplete list of the advantages of the models. And the hero of today's review continues this tradition, while delighting with an improved design and several new features.

The appearance of the new product adheres to the concept of the exterior of its predecessors, but looks fresh due to the appearance of a side touch button for camera control (shutter, zoom and other functions), smaller display frames. Stylish color solutions of glass and metal cases, the presence of moisture protection according to IP68 standards, and the recognizable design of the photo module block also evoke positive emotions. The 6.3-inch OLED screen has an impressive resolution of 2622x1206 pixels, excellent picture clarity is combined with its smoothness at a 120-Hz refresh rate. It is difficult not to praise the natural transmission, a brightness reserve of more than 2000 nits, coupled with the excellent reflectivity of the glass coating. There is also a high-quality oleophobic layer.

The latest A18 CPU (Pro version) coupled with 8 GB of RAM amazes with the ratio of performance and energy efficiency. It scores significantly more than two million points in the AnTuTu test and extremely high results in the Geekbench benchmark. The interface of the optimized iOS simply flies, and all resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact will please with a frame rate of more than 60 frames per second at maximum graphic presets. Surprisingly, with a rather modest battery of 3577 mAh, the device functions for about a day and a half of active use. Both wired and wireless charging have a power of 25 W. As for the size of the internal storage, it can be 128/256/512/1024 GB, depending on the configuration of the unit.

The photo capabilities of the main 48-megapixel sensor with hybrid stabilization, a wide-angle lens of the same 48 MP and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with a five-fold optical zoom are pleasantly surprising. Even night photos are replete with the smallest details without blurring and noise. Smooth video in 8K resolution also awakens delight. Stereo speakers with a volume of more than 90 dB are also excellent. Support for NFC, eSIM and 5G further emphasize the relevance and future success of one of the best flagships today.
