Here is a review of the iPhone X by Kim Komando, a noted tech blogger:
One thing to note is the scratch on the phone after only a few days. She didn't drop the phone, but carried it in her purse. I've read several times it's very important to get a case to protect this phone, and a clear plastic shield for the face as well.
The more I read about the iPhone X the more my interest diminishes a bit.
