Apple iPhone X

The iPhone X was Apple’s 10th anniversary smartphone, launched in late 2017. In Bangladesh today, the official iPhone X price is 89,999 BDT, while the unofficial price is around 67,000 BDT. If you are thinking about buying this older flagship phone, here is what you need to know before making your decision.

iPhone X price in Bangladesh

The iPhone X is officially priced at 89,999 BDT in Bangladesh for the available variants. However, in the unofficial market, you can find it for about 67,000 BDT. “Unofficial” means the device is imported outside Apple’s local channels, so after-sales service from Apple Bangladesh might not be available. The iPhone X comes in two main variants: 3GB RAM with 64GB storage and 3GB RAM with 256GB storage. Prices may vary slightly depending on which variant you choose and the availability in the local shops.

Key specifications

The iPhone X features a Super Retina OLED display, fast A11 Bionic chip, dual 12MP cameras, Face ID for security, and wireless charging. It supports up to 4G LTE networks and is IP67 water and dust resistant. The phone was released with iOS 11 but is upgradable to newer iOS versions, adding to its long-term usability.

Display and design

The iPhone X has a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED display with a resolution of 1125×2436 pixels. This means you get sharp images, vibrant colors, and great visibility indoors or outdoors. The screen supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, improving video quality for movies and streaming. The design marked a big change from earlier iPhones, introducing edge-to-edge display and dropping the home button for a sleeker, more modern look. The device also comes with IP67 dust and water resistance.

Camera

On the back, the iPhone X has a dual 12MP camera setup with wide and telephoto lenses. This lets users take detailed photos, portraits, and even high-quality zoom shots. The camera performs well in most lighting conditions and supports features like portrait mode and 4K video recording. The 7MP TrueDepth front camera supports Face ID and delivers good selfies and video calls, making it suitable for social media or meetings.

Performance and software

The Apple A11 Bionic chipset inside the iPhone X still offers solid speed for daily use, app multitasking, and light gaming. With 3GB RAM and either 64GB or 256GB storage, most users will have enough space unless you store many large files. The iPhone X shipped with iOS 11, but you can update it to newer iOS versions for more features and security updates. It supports Face ID for unlocking and Apple Pay for secure payments.

Battery and charging

The 2716 mAh battery can last a full day for most average users. It supports fast charging that can take the battery to about 50% in just 30 minutes (charger type and quality may affect this). You can also charge wirelessly, thanks to Qi wireless charging support. If you are a heavy user, you might need a top-up charge in the evening, but for many, battery life is decent considering its age.

Should you buy the iPhone X?

The iPhone X is a discontinued model, but it still offers many features that remain useful in 2024. It suits buyers who want a premium iPhone experience with Face ID, good cameras, and a quality display, but are willing to buy an older phone to save money. However, if you want the latest features, longer software updates, or better battery life, consider newer models from Apple like the iPhone XR or iPhone 11. Also, think about the limited warranty and after-sales support with unofficial units before buying.
