iPhone 8 Plus review

The iPhone 8 Plus' updates don't warrant a full number bump, but they're welcome improvements that make it another great iPhone.

Stellar performance ; Great camera, fun Portrait Mode features ; Wireless charging works well ; Great display ; Daylong battery

Expensive ; Boring, dated front design ; No headphone jack

The iPhone 8 Plus should really be called the iPhone 7S Plus. Its updates don’t warrant a full number bump, but they’re welcome improvements that make the 8 Plus another great iPhone.

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review

In another place and another time, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus would have been one of the hottest things around. Swathed in hype, causing a stir, bringing the free ride of the competition's flagships to an abrupt and painful halt.

iPhone 8 and 8 Plus review: Change in small doses

The iPhone 8 Plus shares a powerful foundation with the iPhone 8, but a few features give it a distinct advantage over its little brother. Its 12-megapixel dual camera is one of the best we've used, and its bigger battery means it'll stick around...

Impeccable performance ; Great build quality ; Excellent camera ; Wireless charging works well ; Early AR apps are very impressive

Design will be too familiar for some ; No dual camera ; The camera humps are back ; Not as water resistant as its competitors

iPhone X power in a traditional body

It's just as fast as the iPhone X, has a longer battery life, and, well, it still has the home button. The iPhone 8 Plus is still a great pick for anyone not ready for Face ID, but expect an update in the next few months.

Fantastic dual-lens camera shoots better than ever with improved portrait mode. Adds wireless charging. Fast speed. Starts at 64GB. Best battery life in the current iPhone line. Still has a home button if that's important to you.

Dated look. Lacks some of the extra iPhone X camera features. Large body makes it hard to hold.

The iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone with a spectacular camera that offers a lot of what iPhone X has under the hood, but Apple will no doubt release an upgrade later this year.

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review

The 8 Plus isn't "the best iPhone you can buy," as the larger Plus phones have been since Apple started its "regular and extra large" iPhone releases in 2014 . And it's no longer the only big-screen iPhone. The iPhone X is a step above the 8 Plus in a...

Fantastic dual-lens camera shoots better than ever with improved portrait mode. Adds wireless charging. Lightning-fast speed. Starts at 64GB. Best battery life in current iPhone line.

Dated design. Lacks some of the extra iPhone X camera features. Large body makes it hard to hold.

The iPhone 8 Plus is a great phone with a spectacular camera that offers a lot of what iPhone X has under the hood, but in a lot less exciting body.

Apple iPhone 8 Plus

The iPhone 8 Plus may promise better augmented reality experiences than its smaller counterpart thanks to its dual cameras, making it the one you should buy.

Super-fast processor. Dual cameras. Wireless charging.

Not the fastest LTE connections. Still a relatively low-res screen with a big bezel for the price.

The iPhone 8 Plus is ready for the future, which makes it our favorite iPhone so far—but then again, we haven't tested the iPhone X yet.

Apple iPhone 8 Plus Smartphone Review

Big sibling, small improvement. As with its smaller sibling, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus does not have many new features. We get a slightly revised chassis, now with a glass rear panel, as well as the new A11 chip. However, small optimizations improve the...

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

The iPhone 8 Plus offers slightly more than its smaller sibling. We are not only talking about the pure weight, which is substantial at more than 200 grams (~7 oz), but mainly the dual-camera. The display also features more pixels and you get 1 GB more...

Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs OnePlus 5

The iPhone 8 Plus has arrived with a bang, aiming for a spot on the winning podium. A ton of competition from the Android realm is also vying for a place there, with one of the best bang-for-buck competitors being the OnePlus 5, a rather affordable...
