By the way the reason why smartphones often use the main camera instead of the tele camera in low light is not just because of a worse f-number. If that was the only reason, then they would not disable the tele camera in low light. The other reasons are that the second sensor is 35-50% smaller and that you need a faster shutter speed. Even with OIS you might need a faster shutter speed than a wide angle + OIS.

    And can be outmatched by many in at many areas. Which makes the entire claim a lie.

      I really wonder if reviewer even took a look at sample photos. I don't give rats ass atm, if it's iOS or Android, but from purely photographic standpoint those samples are NOT sharp, are noisy, there's a lot of corner softness and they seem unnatural (probably because of noise suppression algorithm). And, resolved detail is average at best. Yes, dynamic range is rather OK, so seem to be colours.

        iphone 8 resolves more details? really are you blind or acting like one? S8 captures way superior pictures than any competitor right now barring the LG G6 and the new Xperia which comes a little close here and there, heck even iphone 7plus camera samples looks way better than iphone 8plus. Take a look at your own Nokia 8 shootup and see iphone 8 is inferior to any flagship released till date.

          And look at accrual photo quality comparisons of shot outs.
          All show the s8 let alone the note 8 and others doing better

            The review here says otherwise. As does dxomark, which shows the camera of the iPhone 8 Plus leapfrogging the best current flagships by 4 points, a very significant margin. https://www.dxomark.com/category/mobile-reviews/

            But don't let the facts influence your opinion.

              AnonD-656673, 01 Oct 2017So ARMv8 SoC is more powerful than most desktop SoCs?! please tell me more about this.Recent Geekbench scores show the A11 chip outperforming the latest low-end core i5 in one of the Macbooks. Take it all with a healthy dose of salt. Also, account for the fact that laptops have far superior sustained performance due to active cooling and fewer battery restrictions, not to mention overclocks automatically if necessary. It's still an amazing feat. I think it's because of the massive funding going into perfecting ARM processors and the strong competition with Intel just stagnating for years. PC's don't bring in near the same amount of revenue and Intel didn't have competition for a long time now. That's why Apple is researching their Ax chips for possible desktop use and Microsoft have already written the instruction set to run Windows 10 natively on ARMv8 processors (Specifically the SD820, 821 and 835). It's only a matter of time before ARM processors are Intel's main competition.

                                  Verne, 01 Oct 2017Why I don't & won't have an Android. 1. Poor interconnectivity - If I want to transfer ... moreThis is the most ignorant and most uneducated comment from an a blind Apple user.

                                  Some Facts:

                                  1. Poor interconnectivity: This has existed on Android way before iPhone even thought thinking about this. The level at which interconnectivity work today in Android, iphone cant even touch it. Ever heard bluetooth, ever heard Google Cloud, ever heard wifi drop, ever heard NFC? So let me tell you. With all this, and which is way better integrated then iPhone, you can basically just store your content one phone and can access it anytime, anywhere and send files to any one with ANY device(yeah, not just another mac or iphone. Truly any other device). This is called interconnectivity. What you have on ios is nothing but just a small gimick. Period

                                  2. Slow Memory and insufficient backup options: I feel like i should not be even answering this. The only advantage that iPhone has is a little better performing processor. When it comes to backup and memory. Any mid range android has more capacity and capabilities then iPhone. ANY Android flagship phone can be back up and running in less than 30 mins flatout. Android has super deep integration with Google Drive and when you change phone, all you need is just a data connection and login to phone. You phone will have everything back in no time. Not just contacts or pictures, but even your apps with all custom settings and everything. Oh yes. In 30mins. Because Android uses latest and faster modems for data connection from Qualcom rather than old rusted intels.

                                  3. Chaotic environment: Only thing this tell me about you is you never used Android. And if you did, Google actually offers far more granual control over everything and in terms of security permissions. And let me clarify, google App store is great as it has options for everyone. You dont end up paying for a basic reading app. OMG.. Did you paid another 100 bucks on basic apps again.

                                  4. Security: Get the facts right. The most secured phone on planet is built out of Android. Most security designers and architects like me knows how important and good are customizable options we get when it comes down to dev and restricting if it comes to android.
                                  Apple gives just fancy names. Ever tried developing on them?

                                  We dont want Google to exercise much control. As it gives Architects like us to be more creative and innovative. Rather than stick to something already so closed ended that we just bang into walls at every corner.

                                  I gave up iPhone 2 years back only because of their total lack of innovation and closed environment. List a single innovation in Apple that they came up out of box and was not carried from Android or Microsoft. I am giving you whole decade window. List JUST ONE!!!!

                                    About 15-20' using the PC at home and a 65 Meg internet connection, the only thing that took the time was transferring 128Gb of data onto my memory card.
