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.

Sort by:

I like the glass back better than the aluminium.. looks and feels so good compared to the 7 plus, perhaps because my Z3 compact is also has a glass back. It is all about preferences.

And btw, this is simply an overall excellent phone and the true tone display is amazing (compared to the 7 plus) and the sound that the speakers produces is RICH & LOUD. It just does the right thing. Go to the store and check it.

          1 min 4K video 16 bit = 50mb
          Do math yourself

            The P10 plus does not have an OLED screen. Please correct that.

            Anyway, the CPU performance reminds me of Google's Pixel. I mean, Google can't charge iPhone prices because the iPhone has a superior SoC. The Pixel's display is AMOLED but still, Google simply can't charge that much for their Pixel phones.

                          Claiming touchwiz is so supposedly terrible compared to stock droids...or any droid is no different then when all the iOS users claim that only iphone is optimized and runs well while every single android out there is laggy bug ridden security failures.

                          All just a bunch of jealous fanboy hate and spreading lies.

                                This is a great phone that's really overshadowed by the iPhone X. Yeah yeah the design is REALLY outdated but the internals are top notch. The camera quality is amazing, and the video recording capabilities are unheard of. Great device, underrated.

So they will make something that has been in android world for years. But, you know isheeps will said 'optimisation is better'. They don't know out there still have great android phones. Example, sony, pixel, nokia and so on in term of updates. Those brands offers more great in all aspects.

Isheep will defending apple and said 'optimisation is more important' but iphones still got bad battery life, capacity also important because optimisation only is not enough. Optimisation+capacity is the truly beast. Example, sony xperia xz1 compact, all in one,very good phone and got endurance rating that close to double ip7's battery life. However, whatever we have said to them, they will say the same thing. This happened cuz most of isheeps are lack of knowledges about tech, for them, brand more important than anything lol...
