![]() There’s a pair of 12-megapixel camera sensors (wide-angle + telephoto) at the back of the iPhone 8 Plus, and the setup is covered by sapphire glass (which is more durable than regular glass). Just don’t expect Galaxy Note 8 or LG V30-style HDR content playback on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, though. However, since the phones support Wide Color Gamut, they can display a wider-than-usual colour palette, and the company has convinced Netflix (where most of the streaming HDR content is found nowadays) to certify these phones as HDR capable. So, they don’t have the official certification. They can’t fully reach the peak brightness or contrast ratio that’s required for HDR to work properly. ![]() While Apple says that the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 8 Plus are compatible with HDR content (HDR10 and Dolby Vision), the screens on the phones are not fully HDR capable. It’s time for Apple to move from LCDs to OLED panels for all iPhone models, as the latter provides inky blacks and additional features like always-on display. Moreover, the large bezels around the screen make the phone look like it’s from 2015. Even though it is a well-calibrated display, it isn’t quite what you expect from a high-end phone. While it is one of the best LCD panels out there, with excellent contrast ratio (for an LCD panel), accurate colours, and ample brightness, it doesn’t feel as good as Super AMOLED screens on Samsung’s flagships. The TrueTone feature changes the screen temperature based on the ambient light, and the company claims that it will make the display easier on the eyes. The Wide Color Gamut feature helps in displaying more life-like colours. 3D Touch offers you a new way to interact with the content on the display, and you can do that by pressing the screen with force (which is different from long press) to reveal more options. The screen also comes with additional features: 3D Touch, Wide Color Gamut, and TrueTone. The iPhone 8 Plus’ 5.5-inch Full HD screen is very similar to that of the iPhone 7 Plus. ![]() It’s clear that Apple was saving its best for the iPhone X, with its ultra-thin bezels and rounded corners. Thanks to a relatively unchanged design, Apple’s phones are now some of the most boring design-wise. The company was once considered to be the pioneer of smartphone design, but that mantle has moved onto Samsung. Apple has been using the same design for the past four years, starting with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Although the phone feels solid and well-built, it looks very dated. It is also IP67-certified for dust and water resistance, but just don’t take it with you into the shower or for a swim (you’ll need a phone with IP68 for that). The phone is 7.5mm thin and weighs a hefty 202g.
