Apple iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB Black

Last year, the iPhone X was in the spotlight, and we did not ignore it: read our articles here and here. In addition, we told you about the compact model iPhone 8. But next to these two new products, the iPhone 8 Plus faded into the background, which seems to be not quite a flagship, but at the same time cannot boast of the compactness and attractive price of the iPhone 8. However, it would be wrong to completely discount it. Therefore, we decided to use the iPhone 8 Plus in real life and share our impressions of it - both in comparison with the iPhone X and iPhone 7 Plus. But, of course, you will find traditional test results in the article. Let's take a look at the characteristics of the novelty. For clarity, let's compare them with the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7 Plus in order to understand, firstly, what is the difference between the two generations of larger Apple smartphones, and secondly, is there a difference between the two models of the new generation (in addition to size, of course). main (12 megapixel; 4K 60 fps video) with two lenses and front ( Apple iPhone 8 Plus 64 GB Black 7 megapixel; shooting and transferring Full HD video) main (12 megapixel; 4K 30 fps video) with two lenses and front (7 megapixel; shooting and transferring Full HD video) main (12 Mp; 4K 60 fps video) and front (7 Mp; Full HD video shooting and transmission) Apple iOS 10 (update to iOS 11 available) The main difference between the larger new iPhone and its younger brother (in addition to the size and display area, of course) is 3 GB of RAM instead of 2 GB. We'll talk about how this affects performance later. As for the comparison with the iPhone 7 Plus, here it is worth paying attention to the new 4K 60 fps video shooting mode (the "seven" had only 4K 30 fps), as well as to the slightly reduced battery capacity. However, it is too early to draw any conclusions from this - one has to look at it in practice. Well, let's get to know the smartphone live. In terms of the set, the iPhone 8 Plus is completely identical to its younger brother, the only difference is in size. And in terms of size, it, in turn, is completely identical to the iPhone 7 Plus - so much so that even covers from that will do. However, using a case with an iPhone 8 Plus is a dubious idea, because you won't feel like switching to a new iPhone if you had an iPhone 7 Plus before. Of course, the main design innovation is the glass back. I must say that in addition to the obvious aesthetic advantages, it also has an important practical plus: it is much less scratched than the coating on the iPhone 7 Plus in Jet Black. In less than a year of use, our iPhone 7 Plus Jet Black is already covered with scratches, although the vast majority of this time the smartphone was in the case. In the case of the iPhone 8 Plus, for a month of equally active use in everyday life, no visible damage appeared - not a single smallest scratch, although it was far from always in the case. At the same time, it is quite obvious that the case reduces the likelihood of breaking the smartphone and allows it to keep its "marketable" appearance longer. So the question of whether to use the cover or not remains open. By the way, Apple has also released new cases for the new iPhones: the photo below shows the iPhone 8 Plus in a charcoal gray leather case. As for the colors of the smartphone itself, then, as you know, the iPhone 8/8 Plus is sold in three color options - silver, gold and space gray. Pink is no longer in the assortment, as is Jet Black. But the gold version that we used just gives a noticeable pinkish tint. This is an effect on the amateur, albeit a very curious one. The other two colors are more versatile. The glass back also has another plus (at least Apple claims that is the case): the new iPhones support wireless charging. We mentioned this in our review of the iPhone 8, but now we decided to check how this is in practice. https://jiji.ng/ikeja/mobile-phones/apple-iphone-8-plus-64-gb-black-v9A0qDzuo5IcqacAbwlxCdRA.html
