Apple iPhone 8 Plus Smartphone Review
The iPhone 8 Plus offers slightly more than its smaller sibling . We are not only talking about the pure weight, which is substantial at more than 200 grams (~7 oz), but mainly the dual-camera. The display also features more pixels and you get 1 GB more RAM.
Pros:
- True-Tone display
- fast SoC
- great camera
- accurate GPS
- Bluetooth 5.0
- high Wi-Fi performance
- many LTE bands
- water and dust protection
- high build quality ..
Cons:
- ..
- but big and heavy, 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

Why I ordered an iPhone 8 Plus instead of the iPhone X
I decided to order an Apple iPhone 8 Plus, which is a lot like the current iPhone, instead of the totally redesigned and highly anticipated iPhone X. I might regret it in a few months, but let me explain why I decided to go with one of Apple's more traditional iPhones this year.

Review: Apple iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
The first place I took the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus was a sticky, late-summer wedding just outside of Austin. It turned out to be the perfect way to stress-test the new devices. The iPhones 8 have new cameras designed to hack it even on a drunken dance floor.
Pros:
- The world is going camera-first, and this is a kick-ass camera
- The glass design is a big improvement
- Wireless charging makes everything better
Cons:
- There's a lot of bezel on this phone
- Next to the iPhone X, it already feels outdated
- The iPhone 8 lets you do so much, but iOS 11 buries too much of it

The iPhone 8 Plus is a superlative phone with a spectacular camera, but wait for the upcoming iPhone X before buying: it promises to fold all of the key features of the 8 Plus into a smaller, sexier package.
Pros:
- Fantastic dual-lens camera shoots better than ever with improved portrait mode
- Adds wireless charging
- Lightning-fast speed
- Starts at 64GB
Cons:
- Dated design
- Most competing Android phones have even larger screens
- Upcoming iPhone X could be a more compelling choice
