no name, 20 Oct 2017Hey guys,I'm planning to buy a smartphone(After 8 months) S... moreWell both of them have good sides and the bad sides. So I'm only going to shorten it for you.
Overall usage(texting social media etc): Both does fine job. S8 fells a bit better though thanks to its bigger and less bezelish screen
Gaming: iPhone 8 beats the s8 by a huge margin in terms of and GPU. Expect every game to be smooth.
Security: iOS is better by a slight margin because of how often it gets attacked by viruses. Most viruses target android devices. It doesn't mean that iOS can't be hacked but if you buy an iPhone 8, you don't have to worry about virus attacks as much as android devices. The security in terms of locking the device etc. is pretty similar with android.
Camera: s8 beats the iPhone camera in terms of MP's(quality). the iPhone 8 plus' dual camera can make portrait photos which will also come to s8 soon. In terms of saturation and coloring iPhone beats s8 by a little bit.
Video: iPhone wins this one thanks to its 4k@60fps and its slow mo 1080@240 fps. The bad thing is that you might fill the storage faster because 4k@60fps eats more storage. Same goes for slow motion.
I hope this helps and I hope you will become happy with your choice.

If you like this phone, then buy it, as long as you’re happy with it, who are others to criticize...

Nick, 19 Oct 2017Ok but oneplus 5 and sony xz premium are faster than iphone... moreHave you even seen the benchmark scores for the new IPhone 8? Most Android phones in 2017 that run the 835 SoC usually score around 6000 to 7000 in the multi-core benchmark tests. Apple's IPhone 8 scored above 10000 in the same test.
Just face it, Apple usually has the best chipsets. The only thing Android beats Apple in is the feature department.

People criticize Apple current design a lot. But little do anyone realize that every next phone is close replica ( if not exactly) of iPhone ( specially BBK siblings ).
If design had been so bad, then why would everyone want to replicate?

I was using the IPhone 8 for a couple of days from a friend of mine (we agreed to trade phones for 3 days) and I have to say Apple has really dug themselves into a boiling cesspool. IPhone 8 is typical of nowadays Apple products: fast, simplistic, and trendy. But design is currently Apple's weakness.
Apple users have yet to see a revolutionary design since 3 years from the IPhone 6. Apple answered the call and presented a breath of fresh air we call the IPhone X. Oh and they gave us this too. Literally an IPhone 6s modernized for 2017 with some of the expected smartphone trends. Ignoring the already high price, I find it kind of hard to buy this phone over the IPhone X. If I include price into the factors, then why should I buy this over an already reliable IPhone 7? Honestly, the IPhone X is what the IPhone 8 should have been. This puts a problem for Apple's next generation of IPhones.
Since Apple has set a new standard of design in the IPhone category, the next generation IPhone has to meet that standard. Apple can't just bullshit their way through by rebranding another IPhone 6s, not especially when their competition keeps throwing out newer designs every year. The IPhone 8 in my eyes looks like the same IPhone 3 I had nearly 8 years ago. Same bezel design, home button placement, and screen to body ratio. The only difference is the build quality, system, and specs. If Apple releases an IPhone 9 with the same design language as this year's IPhone 8, then the same question will arise: "Why should I upgrade?" Apple has to meet the standard of the IPhone X to even compete for next year. And even then, some Apple users may be resentful towards why they dumped a considerably high amount of cash for a new IPhone design, when they could just wait one more year for a refreshing design with (maybe) a cheaper price. It's unreasonable.
Mainstream Android smartphone manufacturing companies have already set themselves a new standard this year with their own variations of "bezel-less" smartphones. It's expected that they will uphold this trend for the next 4 years until the next best thing. Other Android firms will follow suit. Apple has to do the same, especially since they too hopped on the Super Premium Flagship trend with the IPhone X.

AnonD-481725, 17 Oct 2017Iphone 6 with 1 GB of ram is running very well until now, m... moreThat is not practicaly true. As someone who has used all kind of mobile OS since their early days I totally disagree that more RAM doesn't mean a performance boost. so here is the deal the way OS channel the RAM to each APP is the key point let me mention it like this IOS can run 2 programs simultaneously at most so that's why it's smooth but here is the point Windows OS can run hundreds of programs simultaneously but not with 2GB of RAM for sure what about macOS the same goes for Mac OS but on much smaller scale since it is optimized very well but that's not all even latest Mac OS needs huge amounts of RAM so the more services on any OS the more amount of RAM they need

AnonD-556996, 16 Oct 2017Apple is considered to be one of the top of the line phone,... more" and the second major innvation is the battery can charge in an hour or just under that. To me, I'm not a big fan of the wireless charging, and battery life on most devices these days runs about an hour to an hour and a half with little to no use while charging. "
You need to understand what an innovation is: a new method, idea, product, etc.
You state that the "2nd major innvation" was the ability to charge in under 1 hour.
Through the way in which this has been worded, it's clear you also think that Wireless Charging is also an 'innvation' which it is not.
Wireless charging has been around for a couple of years now - you knew this as you clearly stated that WC could have been implemented on the iPhone 6s.
Fast charging also - been here for some time now, the closest example of a fast charge definition would be OnePlus's 'Dash Charge' as that is beyond fast.
So I put it to you - that you have little to no idea what you are on about, for me this has rendered your review null and void.
Have a nice day.

8 is totally mistake by apple. The only difference between 8 and 7 is new A11 chipset and wirelless charging for which btw u need to pay extra 60$!!! For me best choice still is 6s. He has excellent camera, 3d touch and the same look as 7 and 8 for less money. Basicly difference between 6s and 7, 8 is home button and thats it. Of course there are more differences between them but its not something worth 100$ or 250$ bigger price! 7 has an AirPods! Woooow u need to pay for it 150$! 8 has an AirPods an wirelles charging! Wooooooow those two bullshits worth 210$! Allmost a half 6s price 😂

Everybody talking about "speed speed speed". What are you using it for and why? The Samsung S8 plus is a really fast phone not having any problems whatsoever. It can do whatever the iPhone could do and more for example, compatibility is way better. iPhone needs special attention when it gets to compatibility for instance it needs to be "compatible with iPhone OS" and if not then sorry for you. iPhone8 has a lot of problems since the release and iPhone7is outselling it for that specific reason. iOS 11 is also glitching and giving problems. So my question? Why are all these people saying "iPhone is better and faster". Other devices are fast enough? Why go overkill?

AnonD-692005, 17 Oct 2017But it could be better start providing 3GB RAM on non-plus ... moreYou see that is the point- even at 2gb ram it performs good.
Why add up RAM just for the sake of it.
iOS has been efficient in terms of ram.

They optimize their OS so that it runs better than other phones with twice as much RAM. Don't believe me? The Iphone 7 is faster than the newest Samsung phones on the market. The 7. And the 8 is faster than that. Still think Iphones need more RAM? I beg to differ

Love this phone! I know that iPhone 8+ has bigger screen, battery and dual camera but I found it too bulky and cumbersome (and I have big monkey hands). The regular iPhone 8 suits me just fine!
