The iPhone X might be grabbing most of the headlines right now, but the iPhone 8 shouldn't be ignored. Released to the market within weeks of each other, it's the X's all-screen display and Face ID that have captured attention, but the features of the iPhone 8, available before the X, make it worth exploring in its own right.


Same processor, same software: The iPhone X boasts an A11 Bionic processor, and iOS 11 software. Pretty impressive, as you'd expect from this much talked-about iPhone release. But, just as impressively, the iPhone 8 also offers you that A11 Bionic processor, and iOS11 software. So, if that sort of high-level performance is what you demand from your iPhone, you can get it right now in the 8.



High Expectations Of The iOS 11

This operating system, with its new features and added performance capacity, promises a user-friendly and smarter experience for the consumer. Apple really is pushing the iOS as a major selling point in the iPhone 8, and indications are that this "rethought" OS is delivering.


Glass Design Equals Class Design

The iPhone 8 looks stunning, thanks to its "all-glass" design complemented by an aluminium band and striking finishes. All that glass is being described as "the most durable glass ever in a smartphone". If looks are important to you, the iPhone 8 won't disappoint.


And Looking Even Better

An all-new Retina HD display with a host of features to enhance attractiveness and functionality is another major talking point surrounding the iPhone 8 upon its release. One of the most prominent features is True Tone, which automatically adjusts the white balance to match the light in which ever environment you happen to be in, be it bright or shady. This promises easier viewing of the phone's display.


How Good Is The Camera?

It's an age-old question ever since the iPhone lifted the bar for smartphone cameras. After all, an iPhone is the world's most popular camera and any developments are embraced by eager buyers. Apple says the camera in the iPhone 8 is a "more advanced 12-megapixel camera", with a lot of the credit due to that A11 Bionic processor. The sensor is bigger and faster, with a new colour filter, deeper pixels and optical image stabilisation. As for portrait mode, it's new and improved with a sharper focus on the subject and more natural blurring of everything in the background. 


Irresistible Resistant Qualities

A problem that has plagued smartphones of all makes over the years is water, splashes and dust. The makers of the iPhone 8 claim that this phone is "precision engineered at the microscopic level", to keep water and dust at bay.


Even More Efficient Wireless Charging

With its glass back, the iPhone 8 is primed for more efficient and easier wireless charging than before. The battery power is about the same as the iPhone 7, with the performance controller providing an all-important power boost when required.

A newer model iPhone X 64GB was released in September 2017.

It's interesting how Apple will proceed from now on. Will it go back to the familiar pair of a regular and plus model, or will the iPhone X spawn a whole new line of iPhones? The Apple reboot?

The iPhone 8 is the best iPhone released to date because it has much better battery life, an improved camera and wireless charging – but it’s inherently boring. It has glass on the back, sure, but even without sticking it in a case it’s difficult to tell for the casual observer.
Pros:
  • Pros: 24-hour-plus battery, great camera, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner, water resistant
Cons:
  • Cons: 2014 design, boring, large bezels around the screen, no headphone jack, no fast-charger in the box, expensive

The iPhone 8 comes in two storage variants 64GB and 256GB, which are priced at Rs 64,000 and Rs 77,000. A price point where it has stiff competition from the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8 and HTC U11.

You think you know what you’re getting, but the iPhone 8 offers quite a bit more. There’s no getting round its highish price and dated design though
Pros:
  • Blazingly fast, Camera borders on excellent, Great build that feels solid, Speakers are surprisingly good
Cons:
  • Pricey, Design is effectively four years old, Camera bump still irks, No headphone port

In a lot respects, the iPhone 8 should feel like a slam dunk: it takes the already winning formula of the iPhone 7 , delivers a handful of solid upgrades, and even implements some all-new features. And if we're looking at the phone on its own, it's hard to argue that it's not pretty successful.
Pros:
  • Unbeatable performance, Great-sounding speakers, Effortlessly beautiful camera, Wireless + fast charging support, Very welcome base-level storage boost
Cons:
  • Extra glass causes durability concerns, Fewer color options, Presence of more and more higher-end iPhone models makes this one feel like a compromise

The iPhone 8 might be the last of its kind, the last Apple smartphone with a home button and IPS display. If this is the case, the Americans at least gave us a very good final chapter. We once again miss major new features or innovations, but the iPhone 8 still beats its predecessor in many regards.
Pros:
  • high build quality, True-Tone display, fast SoC, great camera, accurate GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, high Wi-Fi performance, many LTE bands, water and dust protection
Cons:
  • storage cannot be expanded, only 12 months warranty, no stereo jack, only average speakers, display resolution could be higher, heavier than the predecessor, very limited NFC functionality

The iPhone 8 is a bit unconventional. It was one of two new smartphone models announced by Apple earlier this month, with the other being Apple’s most advanced smartphone ever, the iPhone X , and a clear indicator of where future smartphones are heading.
Pros:
  • The best iPhone to date with wireless charging, a more powerful processor, better screen and camera.
Cons:
  • Overshadowed by the iPhone X.

The iPhone 8 is an attractive, sleek smartphone. Back in 2017 the A11 Bionic chipset provided the highest benchmark scores we'd ever seen, leaving Android rivals in the dirt, and the low-light camera performance was a marked improvement on the iPhone 7.

“Familiarity breeds contempt,” or so the old proverb goes, and never has that been more topical than for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. In any other year from the past decade, Apple’s new smartphones would be the topic of endless fascination and discussion.
Pros:
  • Wireless charging is convenient, Camera is excellent, A11 Bionic processor is fast, Battery life is solid
Cons:
  • Bezels are big in comparison to other recent phones, Water-resistance falls short of rivals, Portrait Lighting can be hit-or-miss, Can you handle iPhone X envy?
