The three new iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and Apple iPhone X new products are what everyone who loves technology is waiting. But unless you want to buy all three, how to choose between these three?
With the respective price is $699, $799 and $999, iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X have some differences. But with the quiet situation in the early days on the shelves of the iPhone 8, it seems that most people are waiting for the iPhone X, which will be released on November 3.
But there are a few things that will make you consider choosing an iPhone 8 instead of the other thousand dollars. Here are a few reasons:
iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have the same "brain" with iPhone X.
Perhaps this is the most important reason to consider buying the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus instead of X because in terms of functionality they are exactly the same.
Each phone uses Apple's new Bionic A11 chip, a "neural engine" with M11 motion co-processor. The only difference in the phones that exploit this is: iPhone X uses A11 chip and nerve machine for Face ID face recognition system and iPhone 8 does not.
All are running iOS 11, which means that you will be using the same applications and ecosystems on iPhone 8 and iPhone X
Touch ID has been proven. Face ID is not.
From the iPhone 5S in 2013, Touch ID changed the way we use iPhone, unlock phone, save passwords and use fingerprint to pay for goods via Apple Pay.
Touch ID is something we all know well. But it is not yet clear whether the technology that replaces the Touch ID on the iPhone X is Face ID.
Apple has made tough claims about the Face ID, that it's harder to cheat than the Touch ID, it can work in the dark, it can recognize when you change a bit of face like a beard, wearing glasses. change hair style.
But we still do not know if Face ID works when millions of people use it. Technology is not always right and can not predict what will happen.
By choosing an iPhone 8, you chose not to become a Face ID lab mouse.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus support for fast charging and wireless charging for the first time, as well as the iPhone X.
All these phones support Qi wireless charging and fast charger. The point is that you have to buy accessories of any type.
Apple has some Qi Wireless Charging Plates (AirPower until 2018) and you'll have to spend $ 25 to $ 75 - from the Lightning cable to USB port C and charging it compatible with standard USB connector C Power Delivery, if you want to charge fast.
Think about it, it's more expensive to buy an iPhone X instead of an iPhone 8 because the original price is already $ 1000.
iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X have similar rear cameras.
If you are interested in photography then you should know that the rear camera of the iPhone 8 Plus and X are almost identical. The iPhone 8 is great, but the larger 8 Plus has a telephoto lens to zoom in without sacrificing image quality.
The only difference between them is the X's optical anti-vibration properties for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses, which make the image sharper even in the absence of light. 8 Plus only OIS with wide angle tube, as well as 7 Plus before.
The front camera of the iPhone 8 and iPhone X are the same - except for some extra features.
Theoretically, the 8 and 8 Plus FaceTime HD cameras are identical to the front camera of the TrueDepth system on the iPhone X. All have 7 megapixel DPI, f / 2.2 and 1080p video.
The only difference is that the iPhone X has some "exclusive" features: Portrait Mode for the front camera (and later), Portrait Lighting allows background clearing when selfie and Animoji allows sending animated emoji that mimic facial expressions. and speak your voice.
iPhone 8 has no groove (notch), it's nice on the top.
The TrueDepth camera system on the iPhone X is the only thing that interferes with its screen. Groove on the screen, as many people call it, looks pretty ugly. There is no iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.
iPhone X is more expensive than iPhone 8.
Starting price of iPhone 8 is $ 700, iPhone 8 Plus is bigger than $ 800 and iPhone X is $ 1000. Make simple calculations also see you will save at least $ 200 when buying the iPhone 8, while it is still Apple's new phone.
If you upgrade from iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, iPhone 8 will fit in the old one.
The size of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is approximately equal to predecessors 7 and 7 Plus. They are a bit heavier and a little different in height, length and depth but very small, meaning you want to use the old iPhone 7 case is okay.
While the iPhone X is a completely different size, it will have to buy a new phone case, and spend a bit more money on this red phone.
