Dialog launches all-new Apple iphone X

Sri Lanka’s premier connectivity provider and only network to support 4G VOLTE (Voice over Long Term Evolution) for Apple iphones, Dialog Axiata PLC, announced the launch of the all new iphone X today at the Dialog Iconic.

Authorised re-seller and partner network for Apple, Dialog, grants unparalleled aftersales services with warranties to users, islandwide.

Housed in a sleek and stunning all glass design, the toughest glass ever used on a smartphone to date, the all-new 5.8-inch super retina display ensures the iphone X delivers the world’s first biometric identification mechanism, where users can unlock the device, authenticate and make payments via a radical Face ID recognition, enabled by the all new Truedepth camera.

The Face ID projects more than 30,000 invisible IR (Infra-red) dots. The IR image and dot pattern is pushed through neural networks to create a mathematical model of the users face and sends the data to a secure enclave to confirm the match, while adapting to physical changes in appearance over time. All saved facial information is protected by the secure enclave to keep data extremely secure, while all of the processing is done on the device and not on the cloud to protect user privacy. Face ID only unlocks the iphone X when users look at it and is designed to prevent spoofing by photos or masks.

The iphone X is powered by the new A11 Bionic chip, designed for the ultimate experience in augmented reality and is the most powerful chip ever used in a smartphone, featuring a six-core CPU that is 25 percent faster than its predecessor. The iphone X offers 70 percent greater performance for multi-threaded workloads, giving users greater performance with longer lasting battery life.

The all-new dual 12 mega megapixel rear camera in the iphone X is equipped with dual optical image stabilisation and is customized for the ultimate AR experience as each camera is individually calibrated. With new gyroscopes and accelerometers for accurate motion tracking, the all new camera also delivers 4K video up to 60fps and 1080p slo-mo up to 240fps.

The water-resistant iphone X, available in space grey and silver, is available at all Dialog Customer Care Centres islandwide with the 64GB iphone X priced at Rs.195,990 and the 256GB iphone X priced at Rs.224,990. Installment plans for up to 24 months at zero-percent interest will be available with all leading credit cards.
