Description

Apple iPhone 8 Plus has a shiny glass casing. This gives your smartphone a luxurious look and makes it the first iPhone to feature wireless charging. The dual 12-megapixel camera helps you take sharp photos, even in the dark. Optical image stabilization ensures sharp images even if you move your phone slightly. View your photos on the 5.5-inch Retina HD screen. Like the iPhone 7 Plus, the iPhone 8 Plus is water-resistant, so you don't have to worry about making calls in the rain. However, don't go swimming with the device, since it's not fully waterproof.

Very good smartphone with old design (who cares?)

Speed Monster
software is ok
Camera weirdly good
Relatively big

After many years of using Android, the iPhone 8 Plus is my very first device with iOS. Takes some getting used to, but actually quite good.

Yes, iOS may be a bit more innovative and there are fewer customization options than with Android, but I can still get along well with iOS. Do you hesitate to switch: after a week you are completely used to it and you can find all settings and options blindly.

In terms of performance, you have a speed monster in your hands with the iPhone 8 Plus. Apps and games start up quickly, navigating through settings and menus is effortless, and things like starting the camera or 'heavier' tasks such as Augmented Reality do the 8 Plus without effort.

The camera is my favorite part... Especially the portrait mode with the different lighting settings is a relief. Even if you don't want to set anything, it's a matter of: aim, take a photo and you're done. The result has amazed me and others more than regularly. Regular photos are also just very good. If you're hesitating between the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 8 and you take a lot of photos, it's a no-brainer: go for the Plus.

Are there also disadvantages? Yes and no... The design is dated, the screen edges are large compared to other high-end devices such as the S8 and iPhone X. If you buy the iPhone 8 Plus, you consciously choose it, so a disadvantage? Yes. Acceptable? Yep.

In addition, the screen is 'only' full HD. You will not notice this in daily use, but you will see it immediately if you place the device next to a smartphone with a QHD screen and possibly OLED screen. The same applies here as with the point about the screen edges. Unfortunate? Yes, but not a big problem in everyday use.

Now the big question: the iPhone 8 Plus or an iPhone X? That is purely down to your wallet and the value you attach to 'newer' devices with 'more innovative' functions. For me personally it is not worth 260 euros extra.

Oh yeah, the battery life? Simply fine! With above-average use, the iPhone 8 Plus just lasts a day. With heavy use, sometimes a little top up, but there are also evenings when I go to sleep with '30 on the counter'.

Anyway, don't be influenced too much by the people who shout the loudest: it's a very good smartphone. A wolf in dated sheep's clothing.

From Iphone X very much to Iphone 8+

Screen size better than the X
Touch ID wonderfully fast and uncomplicated
No need for an iPad anymore
Less handy than the X

After using the IPhone X for about a week, I decided to go back to the IPhone 8+. Fortunately, thanks to Coolblue, this was no problem and only a matter of exchange, without any hassle. What a relief the IPhone 8+!!

The IPhone X uses FaceID, which is great, but if you don't want to pick up your phone every time and hold it in front of your face, you're better off with TouchID. Even if you kept your face in front of it, the screen is only unlocked, then you have to swipe up to do what you planned... I often sit on the couch at night with my phone somewhere on the railing, surfing the internet, checking email etc.. With the X I suddenly had to lift my phone every time and hold it in front of my face to unlock and swipe before I could see or do anything...

In addition, it is claimed that the screen of the IPhone X is larger in size. At first glance, the screen of the X seems very large and larger than the 8+, because you miss the screen edges, but looks can be deceiving! The screen edges of the 8+ also show the X in some actions, for example with movies, then you also have edges, similar to the 8 and 8+. This allows you to look at the size screen of the normal 8. When you double tap on your screen, the entire screen is used, without those edges. And that's where it goes wrong, somehow the video gets cut off, so someone's top of their head is suddenly missing...

IPhone X you seem so special and in appearance it is, but you are not a replacement for the 7+ or 8+. You made me long for an IPad, which I had never thought about in my 7+ years.

Coolblue thank you so much for being able to rectify my misstep so easily and to return to a large format screen with "just" super fast TouchID.

Great phone

Extremely fast
Battery improves
Touch ID works in a second
Still no OLED screen

I switched from an iPhone 6 Plus to an iPhone 8 plus upstairs. A great phone that is super fast and does what it's supposed to do. The speed and camera are pluses, the price tag a minus. Are you looking for a great phone and you find the iPhone X too expensive, then this is the solution.
