This review is going to be on the iPhone 8 Plus but before I go into the review I just want to let you guys know these are my thoughts on how I feel about the phone. This was my first time actually trying an iPhone out because I am an Android kind of girl.
Included in the iPhone box:
- iPhone 8 Plus
- Lightning EarPods
- Analog headphone adapter
- Charger
- USB to Lightning cable
- SIM tool
- Welcome card
- Advisory card
- Stickers
The iPhone is ok and I do like it but not as much as my Samsung and that is because when talking to the phone and having it write out what you say iPhone completely got everything I said wrong. I can do voice to text with my Samsung and it’s always 99% right. I don’t know why that is and I have asked other people and they could not explain why.
I love that the iPhone 8 Plus battery lasted up to 21 hours vs my Samsung lasted me about 8 hours. The apps and games you get to download from the app store are better than Android apps. The graphics for the iPhone are a lot better and seem more HD than my Android phone.
Truth be told, the iPhone 8 Plus is pretty similar to the iPhone 7 Plus, aside from a few new features. First of all, it’s made of the durable glass, similar to the “gorilla glass” that the Apple Watch screen is made of, front and back. In addition to being water and dust resistant, the glass back also enables the phone to charge wirelessly, much like the Apple Watch. The Retina display has something new called True Tone, enabling the display to adapt to match the light around it, making for a better viewing experience in bright light or dark environments. Like the iPhone 7
Plus, the iPhone 8 Plus has the dual camera for Portrait Mode (blurred background). The camera is still 12MP, pretty good for a phone camera. I love having Portrait Mode. It’s nice to not have to haul my big camera around everywhere and still get quality shots. The CPU on the iPhone 8 Plus is a little faster with the new A11 Bionic, supposedly around 15% faster than iPhone 7’s A10 fusion.
Something else worth noting is that the phone comes in silver, gold, and space grey.
Verizon started offering a BOGO for the base model iPhone 8 with $699 worth of credits over 24 months on January 29.
The offer is valid for both new and existing customers and works with any combination of iPhone X, 8 or 8 Plus devices when purchasing two on Verizon’s installment plan.
Overall I like the iPhone a lot but I don’t think it’s the right phone for me but my niece likes it a lot and is going to upgrade her phone to the 8 plush.
