iPhone X tricks only power users know.

Rapid unlock: With Face ID enabled tap on the bottom and swipe to unlock. The phone will unlock all in one step.

Faster app switching: Swiping up brings up the App Switcher. But it can take a little time to open. Instead, swipe up at an angle. The switcher should load right away.

Switch apps without the App Switcher: Swipe along the bottom. You can cycle through all the apps you have open.

Force quit apps: Bring up the App Switcher. Force press on an app. Swipe an app up or tap its minus sign to close it.

Turn off the phone: Tap and hold the Side button and either volume button.

Force a restart: Tap Volume Up. Tap Volume Down. Hold the Side button.
