Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy Note8 full camera shootout

21 October 2017
It's a pair of cameras each but who wore it better? We all know the iPhone did it first, and Samsung's a little late to this party. And yes, we all know that between these two it's not really a 'hey, you've got the same shirt, let's hang out together' moment - no, it's more like 'look the other way and pretend they're not there'.

Sort by:

IMO might be iPhone have some edge over note8 in few departments but as complete package note 8 is a phone of year because what you will get in iPhone x an amoled display and comparable camera both have there strong hold in different areas at the end it's up-to your taste but spen edge design great camera awesome infinity display make it ahead of iPhone

          The comments are downright hilarious. It's not the phones camera prowess speaking, it's everyone's fanboyism. Both are good with their own pros and cons. Gsma did it the right way. Now stop fanboyism and admit the weakness of your beloved brands else they won't improve

              i chose 4K 60fps

                Good one guys, side by side picture representation is awesome. I'd like to see more of that in future comparisons.
                Thnx.

                  the iPhone 8 plus does a really good job... but it will be interesting to see how the iPhone x camera compares to the Samsung galaxy note 8 camera....

                    Iphone has yellow tint. Grey becomes beige => unnatural colors

                        Good shootout guys as usual. How would Asus Zenfone 4 Pro stack up with these heavy shooters? Are u gonna review 4 Pro?

                          My God. Those day light shots from the Note 8 is the very reason why one will start to hate the typical over saturation! Reminds me of the photos I drew when I was like 10 with my newly gifted sketch pen sets! Pathetic to say the least. The Note however is the clear winner in low light. Its a tie. iPhone 8 significantly better in day time, Note 8 in much better in night time, video is iPhone's forte, front camera is Note 8's. ROFL.

                            Basically Note 8 wins in photos and iPhone slightly wins in video. Voila review over.

                              LMAO this shouldn't even be a comparison, it's pretty embarrassing for the iPhone 8 tbqh...

                                Nice article and I prefer the note better and if you got retail unit V30 do a threeway please pixel vs V30 vs note8

                                  Stop talking so much, plain-jane, Note is better and everyone nottice, end

                                    Iphone 8 (and iPhone 7) camera totally overuses an Adobe Lightroom-like clarity effect. Really awful and unnatural! No smartphone does this!
