Note 8 or iPhone 8
 
I was thinking of getting the iPhone 8 then I noticed the Note 8 has just been released. It’s a big phone but I doubt no bigger than an iPhone plus?

Which would be top of your list?

Both are fine devices, the iPhone running iOS would swing it for me.

Would take s8+ for 300 less than Note 8.
I expected more from note after last year fail - 4k and 6.5" screen with bigger battery.
Would not take ip8 with lcd ips crap.

Get the upgraded S8+ with 6gb of ram and 128gb standard memory.

Recent price drops aswell. £619

I was thinking iPhone 8 Plus but now I've just seen the LG V30. A little smaller than the iPhone 8 Plus but packs a 6 inch QHD OLED screen and a more useful wide angle as opposed to telephoto second lens. Also has a proper HiFi quality quad DAC for excellent sound quality through a headphone jack. This is the front runner for me at the moment.

I'm not sure if this helps but obviously it will lead to greater longevity.

So that's got nothing to do with the network ?

Lg phones depriciate very quickly so be carefull where and when you buy.

I've got a note 8, I did the pre order so have had it for a week now, i have found the battery to be very good, the actual phone is only marginally bigger than an s8+ and the camera is very good, the display is excellent and yes it is expensive but i did the 0% on the samsung upgrade program.
I was looking at the iphone but i've had them in the past and just not a fan, the work phone was an iphone.
It's very much down to personal preference at the end of the day

Despite being an iPhone user, I'd go for the Note 8. The screen on the Note is absolutely stunning. Can't believe Apple still haven't gone OLED on the iPhone 8.

I know the X is OLED, but that notch out the top really detracts, and IMO the corners of the screen are too rounded.

JackClark 22 September 2017 07:09 PM

Haven’t handled the Note 8 yet, I bet it is nice. Hopefully not too hot.

The round corners on the iPhone X fit iOS 11, it’s a pet peeve of mine, reminds me I don’t have one, tin foil hats at the ready. The next iPad will have round corners too.

That seems like a step back if that's the case - just different for different's sake. The media that you consume on these devices comes in a symmetrical shape - you don't get movies with rounded corners or phones with rounded corners. A slight rounding is acceptable as you barely losing anything, but I think it's too much on the iPhone X.

You don’t have to use the whole screen, look at a Samsung edge.

I couldn't see the 128gb version but won't you get stung with duty when ordering from them so cheaper to buy a UK model?

ossett2k2 23 September 2017 04:07 PM

I was thinking of trying a homtom S8 at £123.55 are they worth a punt? Or w waste of money?
Not quiet on topic so appologies :)
