With such configuration, it is touted to perform 1 trillion operations per second and rest assured that the device will support any top-end graphics intense games and run buttery smooth.

. Also, all the three iPhone 11 series models house upgraded 12MP TruDepth FaceTime camera on the front. They can now take 4K videos at 60 fps and also support 1080p slo-mo selfie videos at 120fps.

It retains the lozenge design with an edge-to-edge screen, digital crown with haptic feedback, a mic and a side button to swap between multiple apps. It is available in aluminium and stainless steel case options with 44mm and 40mm sizes.

It also comes with a second-generation optical heart sensor and a special electrical heart sensor for ECG (Electrocardiogram) readout feature.

. Having spent two days with the Watch Series 5 (44 mm), I am impressed with the long battery life. Despite all-day use including reading WhatsApp messages, activity tracking (including running, walking, stair steps counting), idle alerts and Irregular Rhythm Notification activated, it is consistently offering a full-day battery life with more than 20-percent juice left before I connect it to the charging pod. The credit has to go to the new configuration and power-efficient display. Stay tuned for the more detailed review coming next week.
