Too Expensive
Boring Design
Squiffy Performance
Average Battery Life
Weak battery
Dated design
Not much of an upgrade
Battery life could be better

Rating
Expensive
Disappointing battery life
No 3.5mm headphone jack
Same design for fourth year in a row
Only available in three colours
Misses out on Portrait Mode effects
This phone has the same pedestrian design
Missing headphone jack and battery life as the iPhone 7 -- and no dual camera either. The iPhone 8 costs a bit more than baseline new iPhones in years past
And comes only in black
Silver and a new shade of gold
Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills
Need separate cable for Quick Charge
Glass makes it prone to drop damage
Familiar design might look dated the second iPhone X launches
The familiar design looks dated
Large bezels look dated
Fast charging costs extra
Difficult to get excited about
2014 design
Boring
Large bezels around the screen
No headphone jack
No fastcharger in the box
Design might become dated
They're not the iPhone X
Battery life
Although improved
Remains average
Lacks the dual camera sensors of its bigger brother
So you can't take shots in Portrait Mode
There's no way of expanding the storage with a MicroSD card slot for example
If you've bought the smaller 64GB handset and used all of that space

The Nokia 8 Sirocco is a modern-looking phone with a nice big screen - although you should note that it is less modern-looking and has less of a big screen than many of its Android rivals, missing out as it does on the currently popular 18:9 aspect ratio...

Nobody is going to mistake either of these phones for a groundbreaking experimental design: even after a revamp the XZ2 still feels dated, while Apple has stuck with virtually the same design since 2014. (If you want a modern-looking iPhone, go for the iP...

These two phones share a sense of mild anticlimax: they are both fairly minor upgrades on their predecessors. But the S9 still feels like it's ahead in a lot of departments.It has a far larger and near bezel-free screen, better camera features, slightly b...
A11 CPU is MASSIVELY Powerful, Like What Apple's Done With iOS 11, Decent Camera
Too Expensive, Boring Design, Squiffy Performance, Average Battery Life
Would I buy this phone? Absolutely not. I can think of multiple phones I'd rather own and use than the iPhone 8. The camera is great, as is the A11 chipset, but that's not enough to warrant a price hike on a phone that is more or less indistinguishable fr...
Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 sits top of our list of the best phones for 2018, but do the recently released iPhone 8, iPhone X and new Google Pixel 2 have the potential to topple it? See our full ranking below. When choosing a phone you probably have a mixtu...
You know what you're getting with the iPhone 8, as it remains very similar to the last few iterations from Apple. Performance is fast and fluid, the cameras are some of the best around, and iOS has also had a bit of spit and polish to make it feel more mo...

The OnePlus 5T is clearly, clearly a better-value smartphone than the iPhone 8. There really is no getting around it.That isn't to say that it's a better phone: the lack of waterproofing will be a worry for some, and we remain to be convinced that the cam...
Blazing-fast performance, great camera, wireless charging support, excellent display
Average battery life, large bezels, dated design, Rating:
The iPhone 8 is an excellent phone, boosted by the addition of wireless charging and Apple's new A11 Bionic CPU. Beyond that, however, it's an incremental update over last year's iPhone 7, and the handset's large bezels and three-year-old design mean it d...
Blazing-fast performance, great camera, wireless charging support, excellent display

Compared to the iPhone 7, the iPhone 8 brings minimal upgrades. But compared to the iPhone 6/6S, wow, you'll be very pleased with the jump forward - particularly if you're seeking a familiar and compact phone.Apple isn't rocking the boat in the iPhone 8...
