Review iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus; what are foreign websites saying about them?

O Review iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have already been published on several foreign websites, which already have access to the device. Around here, they are likely to arrive next November, we still don't know if accompanied by the commemorative version, the iPhone X.

With a design very similar to the last ones iPhones launched by Apple, they stand out for an improvement in the processor, a more powerful camera, improvements in the operating system and the ability to charge the battery wirelessly.

As usual, foreign sites start by praising the changes made by the company, and not for what could have been missing from the phones. The big compliment was on the camera, not just for the image quality, but for the features. Another highlight was the battery and performance.

The power of the new camera

A few tricks, site alert Techradar, will make you realize that you have in your hand not an improved iPhone 7, but a new one iPhone. O iPhone 8 record videos in 4K at 60 frames per second (fps) and also offers 240fps slow motion recording at 1080p (Full HD) instead of just 720p, of its predecessor.

John McCann highlights that, “while these improvements are always welcome, there really isn’t much between the cameras in the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 7”. Especially, because it maintains one of the great positive points of the cameras of the iPhone, the ease of use, and that doesn't change with the 8 iPhone.

"A Look at the Augmented Future of Photography". With that subtitle, the review of Matthew Panzarino, at TechCrunch, makes it clear that he will make an analysis only on the new camera of the iPhone 8. He points out that the camera system in the iPhone is becoming the central focus of its technological advances.

"And it's not just about pictures anymore”, he says. He concludes by saying that, “With augmented reality and computer vision emerging as competitors for the next big wave in platform development, the camera system is both an input mechanism and a communication system.", He emphasizes.

No The Verge, Nilay Patel highlights the quality of images. "How the Samsung, the images of iPhone are now more saturated by default, although the Apple say you're still aiming for realism rather than the saturated colors and smoothing of the S8”. In the test he performed, the iPhone 8 produced more consistent and richer images than competitors and its predecessor.

Far beyond the camera

But, not only the camera lives a smartphone. Nilay also highlights that the stereo speakers of the iPhone 8 became even more impressive. as in iPhone 7, the headset gets really loud to act as the second speaker, but the entire system is up to 25% louder now. "You can hear the real stereo split, that's wild”, He adds.

IPhone 8 performance

Samuel Axon went further and wrote in a review on the site ARS Techinica, who found the performance of the new device daunting. "The A11 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 8 and the 8 iPhone Plus it's fast and impressively efficient, and it might be the fastest mobile chipset we've ever seen."

O iPhone 7 it had four cores with the A10, two high performance cores and two efficiency cores. Now, with the A11, there are up to six, two of which are high performance and four of which are efficient, which makes a big difference.

Geoffrey Fowler couldn't find so many apps today that require the firepower that the new iPhone has, he said in an article published in The Wall Street Journal. Already in The Verge, the comparison indicated that “initial benchmarks suggest that the iPhone 8 is faster than the A10 Fusion in iPad Pro and even the MacBook Pros 13 inches".

Battery

The battery, essential for the operation of all this, could not be left out. The main highlight in addition to durability is the possibility of charging the battery without the need for a wired connection.

O The Verge warned that wireless charging will be pleasant at night on a bed stand. “I think it will be especially useful in cars where you can just put your phone on the charger, wirelessly connect to Bluetooth and be on your way without any kind of cables.”, completes the analysis.

The battery of the iPhone 8 would be smaller than iPhone 7. At least that's what the website claims. Techradar, who said in his review that according to the reports they had access, the battery of the iPhone 8 is 1,821mAh, which is a fair amount smaller than the 1,960mAh battery inside the iPhone 7.

But, "the good news is that the iPhone 8 battery performance is comparable to the iPhone 7, even with the smaller battery".

'It's just the pattern'

Even counting with several compliments to the significant changes made by the Apple , many sites made reservations that the biggest and best changes were for the commemorative version, the iPhone X.

According to the website The Verge, many people will buy a 8 iPhone. This is the new standard phone from Apple , and it's really good that a standard phone is really good. “But it's not the future, and it's not the vanguard. It's just the pattern”, complete.

overshadowed by iPhone X, that's what the Techradar. "The presence of iPhone X ruined the 8's possibility of being a phone worthy of desire. The Apple brand is built on always wanting the best available, and this phone – therefore – feels like second best.”

The review of ARS Techinica is harder and concludes that, “this is not the product line simple from the Apple of the past that you would be proud of. Consumers will want iPhone X, and millions of them will be willing to pay for it.”

Now, here we are waiting for the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus to have our own opinion. However, those who love iPhone will surely like the launch.
