Hi everyone. Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is my iPhone eight plus.
Now I've been using the eight plus for an entire week and it's actually been a
really nice experience. The phone in the hand still feels good.
It feels very similar to an iPhone, XS Max as far as its size goes.
And it has some benefits that the other phones don't have.
And it has some disadvantages of it. Make me miss the other phones as well.
In fact,
I've been using it with a case and I've actually been using it with this leather
case, which is really nice. And, normally I don't use cases,
but I have my apple leather case.
It's holding up well and it's something I really enjoy using.
So I've been using it with that case and going back and forth with and without
it. And this is a really nice phone,
but it's kind of strange to go back with something with such large bezels on it.
So it has some huge bezels top and bottom.
And then also of course you've got touch ID and now most of the time I actually
prefer touch ID and some people will say that's crazy,
but the time that I don't prefer it as when it's logging you into a website
because when you're using face id you just look at it and it logs you in.
When you're using something like touch id,
you actually have to press one more time and now it's not much to ask,
but it's just something to note.
And the other thing I really miss is going between app.
So instead of actually swiping between apps like you can on a XS Max you have to
double click and it's something that I actually had to get used to because I
forgot about that.
So you have to double click to go back and forth between apps and it's a little
bit of just relearning it. It's muscle memory. So it's not a horrible thing,
but it's kind of strange to double click instead of just swiping.
Swiping feels more natural to me. So if I want to go back and forth here,
I can do that.
But it just doesn't feel as natural when you're swiping a,
as when you're swiping and things like that.
Now the durability and stuff of course is going to be fine and speakers are
quite nice as well. The speaker quality is great. Uh,
no issues with the Stereo speaker quality. Of course,
I still miss the headphone Jack from time to time as I prefer wired headphones,
although most people are just going to use air or something along those lines.
As far as performance, performance, I really have no issues.
Occasionally it will stutter a hiccup and this is on Ios 12.3 0.2 so it's on a
version that's available to the public and should be stable and then things like
the camera are really quite nice. The camera is great. In fact,
I used it for a video camera in one of my videos a few weeks back.
If you saw one of the ios updates where there was a pool in the background,
well this was the camera I was using,
so I have no complaints whatsoever about this camera. In fact,
I think it's a tremendously good camera. The other thing is battery life.
Battery life is actually quite good. I have no issues with it.
This one has 98% battery life or battery health,
so the capacity is pretty good and over the past 10 days you'll see I've
actually used it for 10 days, so more than a week.
I have not gone back to my iPhone XS Max yet.
So you can see here three hours, 19 minutes in.
This was with more than 50% left today,
two hours and 42 minutes and I haven't charged it since yesterday and I have 36%
so it's actually doing really, really well and it still has wireless charging.
It still does apple pay and I really enjoy using it. In fact,
I haven't switched back because it's fine.
I will switch to use ios 13 some more,
but really I have no issues using this whatsoever and it's definitely a great
phone and I can still recommend it. Of course some people are going to say,
well it's only an LCD and for me that's actually a good thing.
Oh led displays actually have flicker that tend to bother or strain my eyes.
So using an LCD display is actually a little bit refreshing because it's not
doing that. So it's really nice,
no issues there and it has great viewing angles. Again,
my number one complaint about the screen is it doesn't go to the edge or have
rounded corners, which I actually prefer the notch on the iPhone,
XS Max or XS doesn't bother me at all.
And having this giant Bezel here doesn't bother me either,
but it's something that I actually prefer the edge to edge display and that's it
for the eight plus.
I've really enjoyed using it over the past week or so and I've used it for
everything. So let me know what you think in the comments below.
