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.

Apple iPhone 8 review: Modern mechanics, seen form factor

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.

Apple iPhone 8 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

Summing up the iPhone 8 has been a little harder for us than previous years, simply because it’s a good phone, but it’s not the great all-round package that the iPhone 8 Plus achieves.
Pros:
  • Still a nice design, Solid performance, A good, solid "normal" sized phone, Waterproof, Now sports wireless charging
Cons:
  • Battery life isn't great, unable to hit a full 24 hours, Desperately needs the two rear cameras, It doesn't feel like much has changed, Expensive

If you own an iPhone 7, or maybe even an iPhone 6S, then the jump to the iPhone 8 is not a big one. Sure, the performance is a bit better and there is wireless charging, but that's about it. The jumps in the remaining features are not very big.
Pros:
  • Excellent performance, Wireless charging, Great camera, Compact size
Cons:
  • No headphone jack, Thick bezels, Battery life fluctuates

Went away from apple to samsung... but now I’m back. Great phone but debating if I should’ve got the 8plus for size although still hard to justify price ... after having the smasung 8plus... it was quite the size difference. Still happy with Apples easy useability.

The iPhone 8 is now available without a contract directly from Apple for £479. The phone has undergone many price-cuts since its original release in 2017 and it’s currently at its lowest price. You might be able to pick it up cheaper through other sellers or on contract.

The iPhone 8 is the perfect update to the iPhone 7. Battery life is better, as is the camera, and, unlike the iPhone 8 Plus, it's significantly cheaper than the upcoming iPhone X. It's difficult to get excited about, however.
Pros:
  • Great camera, Decent battery life, Ergonomic design
Cons:
  • Large bezels look dated, Fast charging costs extra, Difficult to get excited about

iPhone 8 review

Don’t let the iPhone 8 name fool you – this is very much the iPhone 7S, an incremental upgrade on the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 with a few additions here and there, but nothing to really wow you next to other smartphones in 2018.
Pros:
  • Wireless charging is useful
  • Glass rear is pleasing in the hand
  • Camera is great at point-and-shoot
Cons:
  • Limited upgrade over iPhone 7
  • Bezel-heavy design looks dated
  • Battery only just lasts a day
