Still very large
Dated design
Portrait Lighting can be hit and miss
Glass breaks easily
Same old iPhone design
Expensive

Boring
Dated front design
Design might become dated
They're not the iPhone X
If you opt for the smaller 64GB handset
There's no way of expanding that amount of storage space through a MicroSD card

Large, dated design, No headphone jack,
There's no doubt the iPhone 8 Plus borrows a lot of its big ideas from last year's 7 Plus. However, it puts in the legwork, with a few new ideas, to make the whole experience better all round.That means an improved screen, one of the best cameras we've te...

Unbelievably fast, Excellent camera, Wireless charging is welcome
Looking aged versus rivals, No mobile HDR, The iPhone X is coming
The main question is whether you should buy this phone or wait for the incoming iPhone X. The greatest question of the next month! Our take is that you should only wait for the iPhone X if you can embrace change.Most people can't, which is why we bring it...
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...

32hour battery life, great dualcamera system, water resistant, wireless charging, fingerprint scanner
bad 2014 design, no headphone jack, no fast charger in the box, expensive, massive bezels, too wide to comfortably hold, heavy
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. That design was ok in 2...
Wireless charging is useful, Glass back feels premium, Dual camera is powerful
Dated design, No mobile HDR, Battery life average
A solid iPhone, but a clear evolution from previous Plus models. Compared to the iPhone X it's unexciting, but it offers the far better experience over the iPhone 8...

Wireless charging, Duallens camera with Portrait Mode and Portrait Lighting, A11 processor, cheaper than iPhone X
Mostly the same visual design as iPhone 6 Plus, Bulky
The iPhone X got all the headlines but in many ways the iPhone 8 Plus is a more appealing upgrade. You get many of the X's features: wireless charging (thanks to the glass back), the A11 Bionic chip, Portrait Lighting. And you don't lose the Home button...

The Apple iPhone 8 Plus is a decent phone. Its battery life is good, the cameras are (still) impressive and wireless charging is a nice touch even if it does come years behind its Android rivals. But it's not the best you can buy.Its blinding speed is a m...

When the Plus model first launched as the chunky sibling to the iPhone 6, it felt like a bit of an also ran – a bigger, bulkier iPhone but with little else to offer. Now it feels like the iPhone in the family to buy. Yes, the design is still as cumbersom...
The iPhone 8 Plus is a 7S Plus in all but name. There are plenty of improvements, yes, but it feels like Apple's real focus this year has been on the iPhone X. That just isn't good enough when you consider that the iPhone 8 Plus is still a £799/$799 phone...
