Apple Iphone 8 Plus

Launched alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone X on September 22, 2017, the phones succeeded iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. iPhone 8 Plus in collaboration with the new iOS 11 software, offers some awesome post-capture editing capabilities. With options like Loop, Bounce and Long Exposure, it's fun to play with the effects and make real use of Live Photos. Another notable refinement on the Apple iPhone 8 Plus is the speakers. They are 25% louder with a high-quality rich speaker output that fills a wider space.

Display & Design

Supporting a 5.5 inches LCD the phone's screen has a traditional but wider 16:9 aspect ratio. This makes everything look noticeably bigger such as movies, web pages and even the keyboard. The wider aspect ratio really makes it pop, and the screen colours are sharp and vivid without being too overwhelming. The iPhone 8 Plus comes in Gold, Space Gray, Silver and Red.

Performance, Platform & RAM

The phone's RAM totals up to 3GB. The phone uses the A11 Bionic chipset that has six cores, with four efficient ones responsible for doing the basic stuff and the other two carrying out heavy processing such as multi-tasking, photo-editing and providing real-time camera effects. The A11 Bionic processor is highly capable of handling everything you throw at it and that too without any lags or glitches, even while working with multiple image layers. 

Cameras

The front of Apple iPhone 8 Plus houses a 7MP HD selfie camera. On the backside, the phone includes 12 MP dual cameras that offer stellar image quality, thanks to Apple's larger and faster sensor and new colour filter. The phone also has optical image stabilization (OIS) on its wide-angle lens, however, it doesn’t have 2x optical zoom like the newer versions of the iPhone.

With the rear cameras, you can take portraits that blur out the background. The Portrait Lighting effects need a lot of power and that’s where the A11 chip comes in handy and allows for lag-free processing. 

Video making is also a treat with the powerful cameras. It is capable of shooting 4K videos with 60 frames-per-second (fps) and produces smooth and clear results. Camera’s Full HD slow-motion capabilities allow for super-clear footage packed with exquisite detail. 

Storage & Battery

It comes with the internal storage capacity of 64/256GB. With a 2,691mAh non-removable battery, the 8 Plus lasts longer than the average phone. Continuous web surfing over LTE on the phone will give you approximately 11 hours and 16 minutes of battery time. The phone offers fast charging, getting charged up to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes with a Lightning cable.

Connectivity & Sensors

The phone features several sensors such as Fingerprint (front-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, Siri natural language commands and dictation.
