The editors didn't like
Still very large
Dated design
Portrait Lighting can be hit and miss
Glass breaks easily
Same old iPhone design
Expensive
Exceedingly heavy
Mostly the same visual design as iPhone 6 Plus

Few new features
Middling battery
No mobile HDR
Battery life average
Lack of headphone jack still annoying
Looking aged versus rivals
The iPhone X is coming
Large
No headphone jack
Bad 2014 design
No fast charger in the box
Massive bezels
Too wide to comfortably hold
Heavy
Uninspired design looks very dated now
Software is very samey
Price of 256GB model is right in iPhone X territory
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
So… which one should you get?Let's first look at the prices:iPhone 8 Plus 64GB / 256GB: $800 / $950Note 8 64GB: $930So yes, the 64 gig Note 8 is actually more expensive than a 64GB iPhone 8 Plus with a quite pronounced $130 difference.For all else, it's a...

Powerhouse, Sleek new design, Wireless charging, Smart integrated software
No HDR display, Still pricey
A lot of people might be holding out for the iPhone X before considering an upgrade, which is only going to hurt early sales of the 8 Plus model. However, a lack of HDR support aside, this is still a solid premium handset that impresses in pretty much eve...

The Apple iPhone 8 Plus leaves me with mixed feelings. It's a well-made piece of hardware assembled from the finest materials, but the design is old, boring, and dated. The huge bezels get on my nerves, which is all I need to convince me that the iPhone X...
Monumental battery life, Wireless charging, Dualcamera improvements, Stunningly fast performance, Tons of storage space
Glass back feels damageprone, Weird clicking sound during voice calls, Portrait lighting mode needs more finetuning, No longer feels like Apple's best iPhone
It's impossible to deny that the iPhone 8 Plus has a lot going for it: it takes everything we liked about the iPhone 7 Plus, delivers a few worthwhile upgrades, and largely steers clear of trying to fix things that aren't broken. While it feels like a muc...
Abstract: Despite the new all-glass design, the iPhone 8 Plus doesn't look much different from the smartphone's previous iteration. Although slightly larger and heavier than the iPhone 7 Plus, this version looks and feels nearly identical in your hand and pocket. I...

Abstract: Apple makes just enough changes to each iPhone every year to make the upgrade seem compelling. This year, it's all about wireless charging. But iPhone fans have another tough decision to make: The much improved iPhone X with a more colorful screen debuts...

A11 Bionic is a beast, Best camera we've seen on a smartphone, iOS 11 improves on everything great about iOS, Best iteration of the same design
Same design might bore some users, Glass back means it is more fragile (no matter how strong they claim it to be)
The dated design might put off some people wanting to upgrade to the iPhone 8 Plus, but its speed, performance and camera instantly puts it as one of the best in the market...
Abstract: The iPhone 8 Plus is here packing some cool new features for the first time on an iPhone that should bring some excitement for iPhone user. With the addition of wireless charging, fast charging AR and more. So here is what we think of the iPhone 8 Plus af...

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...
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
This iPhone generation should have been called 7S – this was at least the case in the past. Considering the anniversary iPhone, however, which shares some technologies with the current flagship devices, Apple thought it was worth to jump to the next numbe...

Very good stabilization, Best exposure of any Apple device, but still not industry-leading, Very good color rendering under almost all lighting condtions, Good face tracking in bright light
Some exposure issues, Visible noise in low-light conditions
Overall, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus is an excellent choice for the needs of nearly every smartphone photographer. It features outstanding image quality, zoom for those needing to get closer to their subjects, and an industry-leading Portrait mode for artisti...
