The Most Value For Money iPhone

Reviewed in India on May 13, 2018

I received the product in perfect condition and on time.

Now coming over to the review, I would like to start with one thing and that is this is the perfect phone for those who don’t want to compromise on power, battery life, camera, and updates. Being the youngest member of the current gen iPhone 8 & 10 family, it offers best value for money for it shares almost all the amazing features that are there with its elder siblings.

Pros
Fastest processor in any smartphone right now (yes, faster than your galaxy s9 too! Geeks!)
An awesome camera that just works for any instant perfect shot
Thanks to the efficient chip, the battery life on this phone is stellar and consistent
The screen although not 1080p or 2k is good enough for most people and helps save battery life too (there is also True Tone tech which adjusts the warmth and colours as per the dynamic environment)
Tough ID is lightning fast
Oh and yes, the design although 4 years old is still top notch and has a premium feel to it that google pixel definitely lacks (comparing because it’s in the same category)
Lastly, you can still use this phone with one hand (small thing but makes a huge difference in day to day life)
Wireless charging ( buy the charger from GoNoise)

Cons
The iPhone 8 has one of the best mobile cameras in the world but doesn’t have a secondary one like the 8 plus and 10. So if you’re into that, then you won’t get it here
It doesn’t have a newer design like the 10 and it’s all screen 2k display
No headphone jack

And more or less these are the only differences between them all.

Conclusion
This is a great phone for all those who want a stellar overall experience. Updates for up to 4 years. A great camera and an awesome battery life. Basically, this is the most underrated iPhone right now and that is why it’s so special.

PS- if you’re into android, I would recommend a pixel xl and not pixel (cos it’s damn ugly) and not even the s9 because although it has gorgeous hardware, the update part of it is bad.

Fairly Happy (By An Old Android User)

Reviewed in India on October 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

Usability:
I was an Android user, shifted to iOS for the first time. Initially things were difficult, because almost everything we could do easily in android, is done in a different/difficult manner. That may change in a few days.

Display :
I am really not happy with the display quality, when I compare it with the display of my moto G4+, I felt moto G4+ display is more vibrant. Moto G4+ has 401 PPI (1080x1920) display whereas in iphone it's 326 PPI(1334x750). But, Iphone display has more clarity and details on the picture.

Battery :
I keep my mobile net and Bluetooth (to pair with smart watch, which means background software will be running for watch sync) ON all the time, so if I charge in the morning, by 6.40 it reaches 30% approx on a medium usage. Otherwise around 50% may be left by end of the day.

Charging:
It wont come with a fast charger, so it takes a bit longer when compared with moto G4+ with fast charger. Moto G4+ with 3000mAh battery takes around 1.5hrs to charge full (May vary based on the network). Compared to this, charging is very slow in Iphone 8.

Usability : BOTH THE SIDES ARE GLASS, FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO PUT A BACK COVER.

Size : The only thing I like the most, This is the perfect size for a phone. After using this phone, other bigger display phones might look like a tablet (seriously).

Sound : Good clarity and loud.

Other features found interesting:
a) 3D Touch
b) Color of the phone.
c) Camera (Not sooo great though)
d) Headset
e) Siri
f) Augmented Reality (AR) games.

Siri : I use virtual assistants a lot, like cortana of window, google assistant, and now Siri. It's advanced in some area, but lags in some other. For example, using Siri It's easy to book a cab, sending a message in whatsapp using voice commands ..etc. With Google assistant, it's bit difficult (yet possible to an extend).
Keyboard : Nothing beats google keyboard (gboard), Still using in iOS.

Speed : Great response. It has to be for the price paid.

Now why I chose Iphone over Galaxy note 8?

Reason 1 : Samsung products are for 1 year usage, later it becomes an headache. This is the only reason I dint go for samsung.
Otherwise feature wise, look wise, value for money wise it's super cool.

Tell me your views on it.

Best phone with bezel apple can make

Reviewed in India on November 25, 2019

I purchased this iPhone 8 space grey 64 gb on December 2017. I got it for 57k. I saw the price just now has gone down to 36k so I thought I would write a review about it for almost 2 years of use. Well I got this phone when iPhone X was just introduced but as it was much expensive then I went along with iPhone 8 and I have not been disappointed with my choice. The phone is working in the best possible way as it has been just bought yesterday. Not a single da has I have got any software issues, lag issues, aware issues.. nothing at all. It has been a smooth experience so far and I am looking forward to use it for another 3 years more. A
Since I am interested in street photography the camera works pretty good for me.
Though the glass back feels very slippery and it is actually but since I always use a back cover so it wasn't an issue for me.
I have not used it for much of gaming so I have never faced any heating issues but I do have used it for prolonged period of time and I have not felt any discomfort.
One thing which people kind of neglect in iPhone is the earphones provided with the phone.
The earphones are of pretty good quality and hence should not be taken for granted. In fact the microphone is pretty awesome to record your music or your songs. it is very sensitive and can record even a whisper.
As I use MacBook Air so the interaction with my laptop has been pretty good. All in all I don't regret buying it. As the prices have gone down quite a lot now so if anyone out there wants to get a premium perfect size bezel phone I would recommend iPhone 8. Let me know if there are any specific questions about it.

Shattered back glass

Reviewed in India on December 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

The back glass of the iPhone 8 I bought in 2018 is shattered from 2020 onwards and when I went for battery replacement now, they don’t do it due to the shattered back glass . The back glass was not shattered due to any misuse from my side . Maybe I did drop it as it happens to all mobile users but not from a height more than my chest height
Altogether, it was a bad decision to go for an iPhone which shatters like that
So , those who are thinking of purchasing an iPhone Pl think twice before you do that

Fantastic early delivery by Amazon, very nice phone.

Initial Review ( 30-Sep-2017)

Received the IPhone 8 today. Very quick delivery by Amazon (got delivered way before the expected date). I got a very good deal on exchange offer for my previous IPhone 6s - Nothing wrong with it, however the latest IOS 11 update was taking a toll on the ageing battery, so is the upgrade).

Since visually similar to 6s to 8, initially did not feel much difference (nowhere the number 8 written on the phone that can easily be seen). However when tried to take photos of fast moving objects the improvement in camera came into instance attention. The phone itself felt very snappy and raring to go on a rampage. Restoring from the previous backup, and take it on to a spin with whatever the daily chores it has to handle.

Will come back with more updates once the things are settled a bit down).

PS: I got a Spigen Liquid Crystal Case ordered and put on the phone. It looks much better than the previous Neo hybrid case - just in case anyone wants to know)

03/SEP/2017

Here is an update on the battery life. It is very good news, in fact tbe bettery drain is much much lesser than my 6s or a friend's SE.For comparison, I have restored all the settings from 6s and using all the applications.It is possible that after two years of use, 6s's battery is weak. However friend's SE is fresh ( hardly a month old).

I have decided to add a tempered glass too , after watching iPhone 8 the 'fall tests' popping up in Youtube. Giving a shot to "PowerBot PB901-i7 World's Thinnest 0.2mm Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 7" skipping all other famous branded solutions. Will post here how the experience is.

The iPhone 8 is your best bet. Go for it. ;)

Reviewed in India on August 13, 2018

Firstly, thank you Amazon for the quick delivery.
The iPhone 8 if compared with its predecessors (iPhone 6 / 7) is truly a powerhouse when it comes to performance. The A11 Bionic chip has played an absolute role in maximising the efficiency of the iPhone 8. As for the battery, it’s always better to turn off the mobile data or Wi-Fi on an iPhone when not in use to make the battery last longer than usual.

When it comes to make a choice between an iPhone 8 and an iPhone 8 Plus, I’d personally recommend the 8. The screen size is pretty decent, fits in your pocket well & at the same time the iPhone 8 maintains the essence of an iPhone. However, if you’re into larger phones or photography (Dual Camera & the Portrait Mode), the 8 Plus is a great option. :)

The all-glass panel makes the iPhone 8 a bit heavier than the iPhone 7 however, it adds to the style making the device look more premium.

Again, the true tone display feature too has played a vital role in viewing the screen. Definitely helps in easing the eyes.

I’m not really into photography so wouldn’t comment about the camera but the iPhone cameras have always been the eye candy for almost everyone.

I’d also like to thank the seller ‘Worldwide_Store’ for his prompt response to my queries. If you’re hesitant about the other sellers, buy it from the ‘Worldwide_Store’.

Amazing phone and great deal

Reviewed in India on October 12, 2017

Amazing piece of Tech iphone 8. I have been using Iphone 6s for longtime now and have traded of my iphone 6s 16GB for the new Iphone 8 in prelaunch offer(may not be for iphone 7 to iphone 8 but for ppl with 2 or more generations old phone can definitely look for i8).
Thanks to amazon for very good choice of offers during pre-launch and delivering it on 29th SEPT which i was not expecting. they were spot on with commitment.
I booked Iphone 7 128GB on exchange earlier with another ecom site and cancelled the delivery after seeing amazon offer on iphone 8.
Happy with the current Iphone 8.
- Best part i compare with 6s and 8 is battery. amazing battery management. it last more than day on all time 4G on and listen to songs and using social apps like whatsapp, twitter, facebook.
- Camera is very sharp in capturing images. 4k in 24fps simply unthought of.
- Remaining all stay as same compared to existing models.
Fast charge and wireless are not yet tried and do feel the need also at this point looking at the battery standby that phone gives.

could have waited for iphone X but iphone 8 itself was 64k which is steep price considering other android offering with similar specs.
But end of day , No phone like iphone for me.

Steve Job said ," A phone should be a phone"

Reviewed in India on January 31, 2019

well to start with iphone 8 plus is too big for my hands and iphone x is costly enough. I phone 8 is just strikes balance.

what you may like :
a) The Gold colour which is more of a ceremic cream . Though I prefer a bit of dark side but space grey wasnt available. yet gold wont dissapoint you.
b) Rear camera brilliant day light pics for common eye. Afterall not everybody is going to use it on very large scale. Front camera is fine but just fine only.
c) true tone display . adjusts as per requirment.
d) Last but not the Least SIZE.. My primea facea reason of purchasing it. Comfortably sits in your hand easily slips into pocket.. no fuss in using it single handedly.

What you may Miss?
a) Oled Amoled display especially if switching from samsung phone. True tone is good but not that good.
b) Potrait mode. Google it if you may be unaware of it.
c) The big size if you have been using the biggy beans( phones ).
d) battery : Beleive me when i say this. you will seriously miss the battery. For at all you may try it wont last through day untill and unless you dont use the phone at all..

Thats it.. will update after one month of usage..

Its a great phone but not sure if Value for Money

Reviewed in India on October 19, 2018

Pros:
1. Its feels really premium. The compactness and the classy looks definitely helps. (Although the Space Grey color is not for those who want to boast the apple logo. It is not that prominent in the Space Grey color scheme).
2. It has a great camera with stunning low light imaging. I am in love with the colors I get when I click in night time.
3. 3D touch and the phone haptics help in creating a better interaction with your phone.
4. It seems to be a phone that will stay as new for at least 2-3 years and will not force you to change your smartphone after 1 year.

Cons:
1. The battery backup is not great.
2. There is a bug in IOS which users face during initial Apple Id setup where they say ~ "You didn't fill the entire form" or something. I don't remember the exact steps but it is a common problem and it took me 2 hours to do the setup.
3. Nothing much more but it still offers a lot less than the other phones that are in the market at less than half the price.

Nice but boaring design

Reviewed in India on April 4, 2018

Shopping this product from amazon had a great experience everything was good but the packaging was not so good...when I looked at the box it’s semeed like this box contains a very cheap product but when I looked at the iPhone box everything was nice and clear...I upgraded from 7 to 8 but I didn’t find it exciting so I asked my brother to buy me an iPhone X then he agreed we went to the Apple showroom and bought the iPhone X silver...I really wanna say when he opened the box and gave the phone in my hands phone itself looked damn expensive and beautiful....then I reliazed that I should have bought an iPhone X instead of buying I phone 8
Overall it was a crazy experience swiitching from iPhone 8 to iPhone X in just six days
But still i’d Say iPhone 8 is worth buying because when I used the phone just for 6 days and I can tell there is a clear difference between the iPhone 7 and 8
But finally iPhone X is a winner.
