iPhone 8 Plus

An iPhone 7S Plus in all but name. iPhone 8 Plus.

Excellent, versatile camera ; Great screen ; Super speakers ; Wireless charging is nice to have

Very heavy ; Boring design ; No OIS on secondary camera ; Would have liked the screen to be OLED

Apple was very coy about battery life when it announced both the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, probably because both of these handsets actually include smaller cells than last year’s models. That’s worrying for the iPhone 8, but I was impressed by the...

iPhone 8 Plus review

Newer iPhones are getting much too pricey, but the 8 Plus is a cheaper yet still-powerful Apple handset to pick instead.

Fast and wireless charging is useful Glass back feels premium Dual camera is powerful

Dated design No mobile HDR Battery life average

A solid iPhone, but a clear evolution from previous Plus models. Compared to the iPhone X, iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro Max it's unexciting, but it offers the traditional home button and a far better experience over the smaller iPhone 8.

Not Apple's greatest leap, but this is still a superb telephone

Unbelievably fast ; Excellent camera ; Wireless charging is welcome

Looking aged versus rivals ; No mobile HDR ; The iPhone X is coming

Apple iPhone 8 Plus Review: A better choice than the X?

While the iPhone X is a true evolution of Apple's smartphone, the iPhone 8 Plus is a more straightforward 2017 update of last year's 7...

Powerhouse ; Sleek new design ; Wireless charging ; Smart integrated software

No HDR display ; Still pricey

A lot of people might be holding out for the iPhone X before considering an upgrade, which is only going to hurt early sales of the 8 Plus model. However, a lack of HDR support aside, this is still a solid premium handset that impresses in pretty much...

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review

Small upgrades go a long way, as the iPhone 8 Plus steps forward as the leader of the 8 family

Bright, sharp screen ; Class-leading cameras ; Lightning fast performance ; Top build quality ; Solid battery life

Bulky, dated design ; Expensive ; Lack of headphone jack still annoying

With its superb camera, larger screen and better battery life, the 8 Plus is the iPhone to buy right now

Apple iPhone 8 Plus review: Price reduction following Apple's autumn keynote

More of the same from Apple – just a little better in most departments and a little more expensive, too

Great cameras ; Wireless charging ; Incredibly fast

Same old iPhone design ; Expensive ; Exceedingly heavy

Why the iPhone 8 Plus is a more sensible choice than the XS

In our head-to-head comparison we review the iPhone XS and 8 Plus for design, features, specs and value for money, and help you decide which is the right handset for your needs

The XS's screen is bigger, sharper, and better at rendering blacks; you also get a noticeably better rear-facing camera, Portrait Mode on the front camera, and a newer processor chip that guarantees excellent future-proofing.
