The Apple iPhone 11 launched as the go-to iPhone late last year. This handset was the top-selling smartphone of the world in Q1 2020. But how’s its audio performance? According to DxOMark, it performs as good as its bigger sibling iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The iPhone 11 was recently reviewed by the DxoMak Audio team and it bagged an overall score of 71 points just like the Pro Max. Currently, it sits beneath the Oppo Find X2 Pro with 74 points.
As per DxOMark, the audio performance of iPhone 11 is similar to the iPhone 11 Pro Max with only one noticeable difference. The maximum volume level sounds lower due to slightly smaller speakers. But the phone scores better in timbre and artifacts compared to the higher model.
Further, the speakers on the handset have a good dynamic performance. But they lack proper stereo rotation when playing music in landscape orientation. Also, they lack bass extension opposed to other high-end smartphones.
As for recording, the iPhone11 does well in timbre, background, and dynamics. But it lacks timbre in live video, which in turn impairs timbre and envelope performances.
Lastly, although it records at great volume with fewer artifacts, the microphones do not have good directivity. Also, there’s no stereo support for memo and meeting recording.
