The iPhone 8 Plus is ready for the future, which makes it our favorite iPhone so far - but then again, we haven't tested the iPhone X yet. At $799 for 64GB and $949 for 256GB, the 8 Plus is less expensive than its primary competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Not the fastest LTE connections; Still a relatively low-res screen with a big bezel for the price

As with the iPhone X , improvements can be seen in camera performance and as for the overall performance of the phone in general, apps open up in no time at all and there's no lag. The screen is also excellent offering vibrant colours, good saturation levels and a really clear picture.

Its dual cameras will enable better augmented reality experiences than the iPhone 8, and its bigger screen offers a better spotlight for high-intensity applications powered by the new A11 processor. And, starting at $799 (for 64GB), it's significantly less expensive than the iPhone X. While we wish Apple had been more innovative with its screen and modem here, the 8 Plus is our Editors' Choice for iPhones right now. Design From the front, you may have some trouble telling the iPhone 8 Plus apart from the 7 Plus. At 6.24 by 3.07 by 0.3 inches and 7.13 ounces, it's the same size, but heavier.

The iPhone 8 feels like home; the home you had been planning to upgrade for years but kept waiting for the right moment, the perfect deal, the latest piece of wonder-tech. Now it’s finally done and instead of having to accommodate to a new living space, you get to skip right to the good part.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

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

The iPhone 8 Plus is a hard phone to recommend. Sure, it's powerful, but so is every other flagship - and with a dated design and huge body, the 8 Plus is lagging behind. Throw in the fact that the wireless charging is slow, the fast wired charging costs you extra, and flagship camera feature...

The iPhone 8 Plus is a big, chunky phablet that stands out like a sore thumb in the crowded marketplace filled with sleeker rivals. It's massive, and not in a good way, in an era where a big screen doesn't have to mean a big phone.
