This is probably the only thing on the outside that sets it apart from its predecessor. The company claims this glass is the most durable on any phone to date.
The water and dust proof device crams in a large 5.5-inch Retina HD display. The IPS touch screen actually has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. That’s more than 400 pixels per inch. It comes with oleophobic coating.
Camera
The iPhone 8 Plus differs from the regular variant in the camera department. It offers you not one, but two 12MP sensors on the rear. The main wide-angle camera uses a six-element lens with an f/1.8 aperture. The second telephoto shooter has an aperture size of f/2.8.
Camera features include phase detection autofocus (PDAF), 2X optical zoom, optical image stabilisation (OIS), and quad-LED dual tone flash. Apple promises better bokeh effect in shots. You get a 7MP front camera with Full HD video recording capability for selfies.
Hardware, Software and Other Features
A new in-house A11 Bionic chip provides the muscles to get things done in the iPhone 8 Plus. The six-core chipset offers better processing and graphics crunching, as one would expect. Support comes from 3 GB of RAM. Buyers can get the device in a 64GB or 256GB variant.
The iPhone 8 Plus flagship comes with latest Apple iOS 11 operating system. The American tech company promises awesome augmented reality (AR) experience. Plus, audio is louder and bass deeper.
