Apple iPhone 8 Plus review

30 September 2017
In another place and another time, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus would have been one of the hottest things around. Swathed in hype, causing a stir, bringing the free ride of the competition's flagships to an abrupt and painful halt.

I compared the iPhone 8 Plus camera with a Nexus 5x which has 99% the same image quality as the Pixel in HDR+ On mode. The Nexus 5x had much better dynamic range with HDR+ On than the iPhone 8 Plus with HDR. Moreover the colors of the Nexus 5x with HDR+ were much more natural than the iPhone, for instance when I took a photo of a wooden table. The sky also looks more natural with the Nexus 5x. For instance the sky is grey, but with the iPhone 8 Plus it was blue.

    In the old time iPhone superior hardware and innovative feature justify the high price and locked ios but now they just trailing behind android spec and android trailing iPhone prices. Sad.

          So much hype about the A11 bionic chip. Milli-seconds faster in real life performance doesnt count as a more enjoyable experience. We need more on the productivity side that is why note8 is still a better option

            Anonymous, 30 Sep 2017I do not understand why a few sites like PA give so much cr... moreBravo! Same here, it's just annoying. If you want a picture of someone with an interesting scene behind him, bokeh is pointless. Also, why pay more just to have blurry photos? It's just fashion, I hope. I started watching Handmaid's Tale and the main actress is always so much in focus that the actors behind her might as well be wooden dummies, can't see them. Luckily they don't always use it, but it's annoying.
            Anyway, nice hardware, great camera, but still iOS limitations and mono sound in video recordings. Mono. Sound. The same thing I commented last year. Come on, Apple. It's 2017.

              Ios 11 on Ip8/8+ is great, but on 5s, 6 or 7 is suck. Why??

                I do not understand why a few sites like PA give so much credits to bokeh.
                Whats the point of going somewhere public then you want to defocus background?
                If you do not want the background to be seen, just stand by a white wall.
