I decided to try an Apple I-Phone after having a Galaxy S8 and I am so far impressed with the phone. I notice that the phone is very stable. No lagging and the UI is fast. I had to acquaint myself with the Apple layout, but I find it to be simplistic. The 5.5" display is good for me.

LONG Battery Life on Standby; Nice colors displayed; UI is Snappy; Earbuds are excellent; Dedicated Ring/Silence switch; No Bloatware; 11.4.1 Update

Keyboard needs more symbols; Glass Backing; No SD Card slot; Only one resolution option on Camera; No Ringer Silent Icon; Extra Step in deleting Messages

Love this phone. Lots of features, especially with the camera. Could be an issue if you have small hands as it is bigger than I expected it to be and can be awkward to hold sometimes.

The iPhone 8 Plus is a curious case of a great smartphone that fails to excite.

Fastest phone you can buy today; Brilliant 1080p display; Stellar battery life; Speedy camera with accurate focusing

Dated design; Low-light camera performance should have been better; Sort of in no man's land; thanks to the iPhone X; Wireless charger has to be purchased separately

When Apple announced the current generation of iPhones this year, the entire event seemed to be a build up to the tenth anniversary iPhone - called the iPhone X (pronounced as iPhone Ten). The upgrades to the iPhone 7/7 Plus were announced in the form of the iPhone 8/8 Plus.

The iPhone X got all the headlines but in many ways the iPhone 8 Plus is a more appealing upgrade.

Received my new iPhone 8 Plus yesterday, and I can honestly say it's fantastic! It's really fast compared to my old iPhone, which was the reason for changing. It came the day after I ordered it, which was a nice surprise.

Another quality purchase from Harvey Norman, great products, great prices and even greater service.

It's that time of the year again – Apple's firmly established yearly release cycle means today we assess the iPhone 8 Plus. The current flagship, though due to be usurped by the iPhone X very soon, the 8 Plus boasts a new A11 Bionic chip, a dual-camera set up plus a new glass back.

Great camera(s); Very fast; Good display

Uninspired design looks very dated now; Software is very samey; Price of 256GB model is right in iPhone X territory

Remember the good old days when Apple revamped the design of its smartphones every two years, boosting the specifications in between? Recently it has stepped outside that tick-tock development cycle.

Very easy to use all apps
