Apple iPhone 8 Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Excellent camera, fast software, nice appearance and battery lasts for 2 days of moderate use.
Disadvantages: Incredibly slippery body. Sgs7 is not so slippery, and the quality of the glass raises questions, a few days later the first micro-scratches appeared on the lid, and a month later they appeared on the display. It slips like hell, periodically even on seemingly smooth surfaces.
Comment: I had 5S, 6S and now I took 7s. Honestly, I don’t understand why they called him 8. Absolutely the same organics as on 6s, the same size. No 3.5, but it doesn’t really float if you care for your ears - there are complete ones, if you don’t care, you can shuffle the adapter.

In the rest, a successful model. Finally, the normal amount of memory at the start, and the battery is stronger than at 6s.

Advantages: 1) Camera! Produces an amazing picture. Photos are excellent (with a lack of lighting just good), but what about the video! 4K 60 frames per second! I have never seen such smooth, dynamic and contrast video on any smartphone yet.
2) Glass. Really strong. Time 4 already dropped on a tile and asphalt (without a cover) - only inconspicuous scratches appeared on the screen. And the glass iPhone is especially nice to hold in your hand. True, the tactile sensation is very cool.
3) Performance. Well, the iPhone 8 is really fast, even on a stalled iOS 11. Jamming happens very rarely and more often these are the bugs of the application, and not the system.
Well, all the other advantages of iPhones, which were before: convenient synchronization of applications with MacBook, Apple Pay, lightning-fast Touch ID, and so on.
Disadvantages: Battery. Apple took and made the battery even less than the iPhone 7. As a result, the iPhone does not survive even at a moderate load until the evening.
Comment: I switched to the eight after the old iPhone 5. In the five of 4 years ago, they did not arrange eternal jams and a frankly outdated camera.
I actively photograph, so the camera became the main reason for the transition to the eighth iPhone. When traveling, the iPhone completely replaced the huge camera, and the video shoots better than many SLR cameras (units can write 4K 60 fps and even with such cool built-in stabilization). The difference in the camera is noticeable with the iPhone 7 - here they are more juicy and the HDR is deeper (in fact, the matrices are almost the same, but the iPhone software now processes the pictures differently).
I don’t play games, so it’s difficult to judge performance. And who needs it? In daily tasks - messengers, photo retouching in editors, work with documents, instagram - everything works perfectly and quickly.
If you are actively shooting and the camera for you is one of the main criteria for a new smartphone, then the iPhones from the new line are definitely for you :)

Advantages: Build quality in the best traditions of Apple, everything is perfect.
The speed of work right fire! Everything flies with the iPhone 7, of course, the difference is not colossal, but with 6s it is already quite noticeable.
Autonomy lasts for 12 hours of use, that is, 1.5-2 days.
Disadvantages: Perhaps the only real drawback is that the back cover is badly scratched, after a couple of days of careful use Kotska has already appeared, I had to buy a cover slip.
Small lights on the edges of the screen on a white background.
TrueTone had to be called YellowTone) benefit off.
There is no "WOW" effect, as from X.
Comment: Holding in the hands of both X and 8, there were doubts whether to pay 30t.r. Later, after reading that the iPhone X backlight with PWM (the screen flickers at high frequency), I realized that definitely worth taking 8 and never regretted :)
I bought a device for the British market EC (Eurotest), it has a 15-20% lower maximum sound volume in headphones than devices for Russia, the same for Bluetooth volume.
For those who are quickly discharged iPhone:
Go to Settings-> Privacy-> Geolocation Services -> System Services disable all unnecessary (I left only the motion calibration, find the iPhone, and share geolocation). This gives a tangible increase in autonomous operation time.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: -battery
-design
-products (fingerprint generally superfast)
- of course, the camera, the video, the photos are beautiful (but not the front one)
- sound (very loud, but ... see minuses)
Disadvantages: camera front my opinion - not very much noise
-sound from the front speaker hisses a little when working at full volume, but it is not very noticeable
-the charge in the kit is only 1 amp, it's like that ... not humanly, the phone charges from it for 2.5 hours
Comment: In general, I can say that the device is worth its money, I use it for a month, until now I like everything very much and have never slowed down anything)

Evaluation 5
Advantages: - thin, compact, conveniently lies in a hand
- highest performance
-battery keeps excellent! eats up 1-2% per night, when used is also very economical (I don’t play games)
camera shoots perfectly, at least a minimum of noise
-wireless charger
-price
-video 4K 60k / s and FullHD 240k / s
-quality sound in stereo speakers
Disadvantages: -NFC is limited to Apple Pay - mobile ticket and travel card not working
- no some system settings
- no extended mode in the camera
Comment: For iron, of course, a unique device, the most powerful in the world of smartphones at the moment. The camera as a whole fotka as well as my last Galaxy S7, but the S7 could not 4k in 60 frames to write and only 720p Slow-Mo. He keeps the battery perfectly, especially after the S7, which he ate again from 10% of the charge overnight ... I searched for the cause and did not find it, I just put it on at night for exercises. Now with 8 I lost this problem - the charge does not flow away anywhere, eats up 1-2% overnight. Now, with the same usage mode - LTE is on all the time - I have 8k lives quietly for 2 days, while by the evening of the first day S7 hinted that he would fall asleep by night.
I took 8k for 49990 in one cabin, taking into account the cashback, S7 in 2016 took for 49990 in the corporate salon.In terms of the quality of performance, both devices are 5+, but after a year and a half, the S7 has turned into a pumpkin, it slows down, the camera sometimes waits for 1-2 seconds, with lags and a 50:50 probability saves the first photo. A thumbnail on the icon of the gallery appears, but there is no photo ... I missed important shots a couple of times because of this stuff.
In 8K, the camera is 1000000 times simpler and made according to the principle of pointing and photographed, there are no white balance settings, no exposure ... There is only a fixation of the exposure and focus, this is already enough in principle. In bad light, the quality of the S7 images is very similar.
Overall very pleased. This is my first iphone and after the brake S7 and podnadoevogo for all the time android - perceived as a breath of fresh air. Not everything is intuitive, some things have to go to Google, but I'm used to and enjoy using it. This phone is from the series - turned on, set up, use. Everything works the way you expect it.
But there are also stupid things that do not cause one of my questions, for example: a limit of 150mb to download a program from the AppStore via the cellular network. What it is?! And there is no possibility to remove this restriction. All the same, Apple is such an Apple ... And for the rest, the device for its money is one of the best. This is not an androyd, it is a different universe, and this should be perceived as such.

Advantages: Fast response, glass case, second generation Touch ID
Disadvantages: 11th axis!
Comment: When new models of iPhones were just entering the market, waited, like many, for release X, wondering why Apple released another evolution of generation 6 this year? But with the release of the flagship began to ask another question, why the heck Apple was in a hurry with the release of raw X? In the eight-point evolution, everything has been sharpened almost to perfection: Touch ID of the second generation is fast, more than ever, you can’t bring your finger to the scanner, as the smartphone is already unlocked. The raise to wake function, when the smartphone ascends, the screen automatically lights up a very nice plush after 6-ki then. Screen size is the most it. I do not understand why Apple decided that the future belongs to the shovels ?? This was the most powerful arguments in favor of 8-ki. Wireless charging-in the apple! Why did Apple take so long to delay the introduction of this innovation? The design was perfected to perfection: now a black smartphone is black everywhere, on all edges. The glass case is very pleasant to hold. Oleophobic coating leaves almost no residue on the phone. The battery is surely enough for a full day, but, of course, could make it more. The quality of the camera is not specifically tested, not a photographer, but I am sure that it is better than the 6-ki. The speed of work is amazing, everything just flies. The list of networks with a manual search gives out almost instantly. Bluetooth of the fifth generation clings to wireless gadgets much more tentatively, I noticed from my airpods and apple watch, the range of confident contact with the phone has become longer. The speakers also became louder and sound-voluminous or something. For os11, the team of apple developers headed by apple-general Cook will, of course, burn in hell, but on 8-ke it works almost without fail (version 11.2). In general, I advise lovers of apple classics!

Advantages: screen, function of preservation of sight, sound, appearance, wireless charging
Disadvantages: Well, of course, the battery could be made more capacious ... but after the 6th and thanks for that ...
Comment: Updated after 6, and sooooo happy! the screen is bright and much more colorful than the 6th, the sound is divine in the speakers, and especially through the headphones! The camera is excellent, the night photos and videos are very clear and not illuminated by flash! The rear window looks very nice and does not slip in your hand! I even wondered if I needed a case! and one of the most important advantages, of course, wireless charging) in general, I am satisfied!

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Attractive externally
Pleasant to the touch
Reliability and security of a closed iOS system
Permanent support and improvement of iOS
No viruses common on Android
Apple Pay
Virtually no glitches and brakes
Decent camera
Acceptable 64 GB memory
Long keeps the battery
Wireless charger
Disadvantages: No standard headphone output
Comment: In use 1.5 months. Before that there were 4, 5s.
Of course, the difference with the five of course is very significant. In all.
There is nothing to describe.
He took over 45 thousand Europeans, model 1905. What I do not regret at all. Everywhere then cost 56-57 thousand. This is certainly not the perfect price for which to buy.
Immediately ordered a wireless charging 1300 rubles + reinforced power supply 700 rubles. It all came quickly. Wireless charging is a thing. After a month of use, you get used to it so much that you even think about how you lived before without this device.
The camera is quite decent. With a DSLR certainly not to compare. Physics can not be fooled (in my SLR one optics is only what it costs), but it removes surprisingly very, very not bad. For selfies, social networks and instagram perfect. And the majority is not necessary.
Battery charge holds quite well. A day is enough. Even if you do not let the phone out of your hands.
Very smart. No brakes. Glitched once, flatly refused to go online. Moreover, the network saw and the usual conversation supported. A simple reboot helped.
When talking, there is no cod dynamics. Audibility is beautiful. It rings loudly. The sound quality.
The memory capacity of 64 gigabytes is enough for me personally. To watch movies and TV shows there is an ipad. For the phone this is enough.
Somehow I was asked why the iPhone? For me, first of all, it is safety. IOS closed. The phone is a notebook, personal data storage, and (most important) a mobile wallet. He is constantly with me. I use it more than once a day. Seven days a week. Payment security, data security, Touch ID, system stability. That's what attracts. But it is not at all a fact of owning an expensive thing. Yes. Not cheap. But reliable. This is my assistant. And he can not be bad.

Advantages: Chic camera.
TouchID runs noticeably faster than 6s.
Strong glass. (tested)
Nice OS.
Disadvantages: A couple of times it was that when you try to unlock the phone, it vibrates, but the screen does not light up. You need to click on the lock button
Once it just turned off when it was about 80% of the charge.
The above is most likely a disadvantage of iOS 11 version 11.

Real flaws:
Lack of fast charging included. Very disappointed.
Well, the pain - iphone 8 headphones are incompatible with macbook pro 13 2017. I simply refuse to comment here.
Comment: Now on the hands of black 8 to 64. Before that, he used 6s and SE. Before them was a redmi note 3 pro.
After I moved from the Chinese, for a very long time I was swearing at the battery, I had to buy an external battery. At 8, the problem of remaining without communication remained) At least, if I go somewhere for the night, I take with me and exercises.
The camera is just awesome. Examples below)
I was surprised by the quality of the glass when I dropped it on the tile. He fell on the frame at a slight angle to the glass. Small traces remain on the frame and that's it. If I were in a light case, I wouldn’t have a scratch.
It's nice that Siri can pick up music in the mood. And pick what is really pleasant to listen to. (I compare with VK)
My conclusion is this - if there is time to fine-tune the device and the desire to sincerely enjoy the custom beauty - like an android. If you need a dialer with quality services and a smart camera, look towards the iphone.
P.s. After I moved from RMN 3 pro to 6s, there was a slight feeling that somewhere I hadn’t been deceived. The difference in price does not match the difference in quality, I thought. But over time, I paid attention to the quality of Apple services. Very high quality and thoughtful. From my bell tower, the interface and working environment are much better thought out in ios.
"But the android is customized hundreds of times better," you will say. Here I agree. But, unfortunately or fortunately, the time when I was engaged in changing the color schemes and how the labels are located on the screen - left at the school or university, I don’t remember exactly.
p.s. №2.I solved the problem with headphones by buying a Xiaomi Mi Sport Bluetooth Bluetooth headset. Issue price - 1800 rubles. Works with multiple devices in parallel.
