I've used the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X - and the winner is clear
I've used the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X - and the winner is clear
If you ask me, I think the iPhone X is much better than the iPhone 8.
The iPhone 8 starts at $699 (64 GB model). The iPhone 8 Plus starts at $799 (64 GB model).
The iPhone X is expensive. It starts at $999 for the 64 GB model. The 256 GB model costs $1,149.
The iPhone 8 only has one camera lens. The 8 Plus has two lenses, but doesn't have dual optical image stabilization.
The iPhone X's rear cameras take great photos. Both lenses have optical image stabilization, which means it takes better shots in low-light environments while minimizing the "shaky cam" effect.
The iPhone 8 still has a home button with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
The iPhone X doesn't have a home button. You swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
The iPhone 8 just has a standard front-facing camera. It doesn't have Face ID and can't take portrait selfies.
The TrueDepth camera can also take portrait selfies.
The iPhone X has Apple's TrueDepth front-facing camera system. It's used for facial recognition and enhanced AR features like Animoji and better Snapchat lenses.
The iPhone 8 has an LCD screen. It's still good, but not as good as the iPhone X screen, which can display deeper blacks by actually turning off specific pixels.
The iPhone X has a sharper screen that uses OLED technology. It was recently rated the best smartphone display ever made.
