It really is very heavy, with a case as heavy as the industrial Cat S60 (which doesn't need one). The X will be much lighter. So is the Android competition. A bit more real-world speed versus lugging a brick which is expensive, large, heavy and lacks features?
I have to agree that the iPhone 8 samples seem to have a lot of bad artifacts at 100%. Reminds me a bit of Oneplus 5.
Note 8, 30 Sep 2017Getting reports that iPhone 8 Plus gets 10/10 in repairability with zero effort required to po... moreNot really the same. The Note7 exploded whereas the iPhone's screen is just separating.
We'll just have to see if it is just one batch that has the manufacturing defect or a widespread problem.
Last I saw though it was only two units.
THE BEST OF THE BEST CAMERA ON WHOLE PLANET... maybe of universe... DxO Mark Powered - must have, shut up and take my money...
Apple happens, but crap like this one is really dangerous named - BEST CAMERA EVER... Its DxO Mark suicide...
Iskander, 30 Sep 2017That all depends on the video watched. Dark video's will help Oled, but video's with lots of ... moreIn a large population of anything, there will a certain number of failures, especially in something like batteries which contain corrosive or highly volatile components. This is unfortunately to be expected, especially in the lot numbers of something as popular as the iPhone.
The real questions are:
1. Did the containment vessel do its job and properly contain the failure?
2. Did the failures cause any collateral damage?
3. Statistically. is the number of failures excessive in a (say) failed units/100,000 metric.
there's something strange about this review , as if I was reading an iphone review on The Verge in past years ( they actually changed now for better after so many criticizing )
abdul, 30 Sep 2017Hey GSMarena, are you blind? Those iPhone 8 camera samples are horrible!

The S8 clearly has more details and better image, especially corner softness (horrible on iPhone 8, excellent on S8).
Did you see how terrible that noise reduction algorithm is on the iPhone 8? iPhone 7, 6, etc, were already BAD but this is even worse. Look at the cars, they're not even cars anymore lol, full of artifacts.
Tann Hauser, 30 Sep 2017The real question is... Can that bokeh be turned off? Or is it mandatory? I dont want blurred... moreIt's a good question. Of course it's an effect but phones today have wider aperture which means shallow depth of field even without the effect. But I don't know how shallow. When pro photographers want bokeh they change the lens which you can't do on a phone.
Way too expensive , no customization at all and however hard I tried to get used to IOS I just cant.
"Images may be noisy, but very good nevertheless."
Wth?
Tann Hauser, 30 Sep 2017What is artificial bokeh? In most cameras manual mode you have selective focus, to create bok... moreSorry.. was reffering to portrait mode and it background blur effects
iPhones have many drawbacks, which Apple will probably never rectify. But the iPhone 8 Plus does have some good things too.
Good battery life. Well-built body. Snapdragon better work hard on their SD 845, because at this rate even catching up (forget bypassing) the A11 is going to be a really hard task. Excellent Stereo Speakers. Great set of cameras.
Hey GSMarena, are you blind? Those iPhone 8 camera samples are horrible! Overprocessed & oversharpened to the point of detail loss. They resemble an oil painting - look at the trees, grass, leaves! The optics are shit too - lots of lens softness all around. Color is OK but Pixel's color rendering is wayyy better - especially in low light scene.
Guys, have you changed the reviewers? I always enjoyed reading the camera section of your reviews but this is getting ridiculous!
Its so hot... big difference between Apple devices and others is iOS .
Gsmarena... why you don’t review any ipad anymore!!????
It may be fast and have excellent cameras, however it has a huge footprint with enormous bezels and it is heavy as a brick.
Symply cannot be a MOBILE device to choose.
ZloiYuri, 30 Sep 2017If we will remove iPhone branding, call it Motorola, or Nokia for the same price - hipe will b... moreI never seen pricier devices then apples. Never. But i clearly see ignorant fans that talk a lot of nothing.
Personally I find the Sony night photos the most pleasing to look at, but still refusing to stick with such low quality mono audio on the video camera is just plain arrogance. I would love to find out what apples real excuse is for not implementing such a basic function.
Tann Hauser, 30 Sep 2017So, dxo score protocol now actually includes...effects mode?
They added a protocol for an eff... moreWell, Apple's Portrait mode (not sure what others call it) is a popular effect, and DxOMark has to consider it or risk becoming irrelevant.
If you apply the effect in post, aren't you essentially using mobile photoshop?
happy to see there rajsthani person in camera sample....
"and yet manages to stay away from the core-count race very successfully"
