Even when the person who first helped me didn´t give me much choice I finally found my I phone 8 because my insistence.

I am not an Apple fan, but the person I got it for loves it. I guess when you go from a 6 plus to an 8 plus you love anything lol.

I "upgrade" from an LG G5 Android phone to an iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 11.0.3. Some things were better and some were not. While my family has had many Android and iOS devices, the iOS devices cost more but generally get (much) more use, plus they hold their value better. My favorite Android device (which has gotten a lot of use) has been my phone (an LG G2, then G4, then G5). UPDATE: I ended up returning the iPhone 8 Plus and ordered a Pixel 2. There was just too much missing from iOS and the iPhone that Android had plus I was disappointed with the camera. I think the iPhone 8 is a decent phone but it's not for me. Read below for more. Hardware comparisons: * The G5 was much cheaper than the iPhone. * The G5 has a user replaceable battery and microSD slot. * The G5 is not waterproof but the iPhone is. * The G5 has dual cameras and one is a wide angle lens... I will miss the wide angle lens. * The G5 has fast charging and includes the needed cable and power adapter to do so. The iPhone 8 supposedly also has fast charging, but it will cost you $$$ to buy the needed cable and power adapter. * The G5 has a small color charge/notification LED which is nice. The iPhone can use the flash for alerts (General->Accessibility->LED Flash for Alerts). * The G5 photo aspect ratio is 16:9 and the iPhone's is 4:3. I *MUCH* prefer 16:9. Disappointed. * My G5 developed a focusing problem with the main camera where photos would often be blurry, which is what prompted me to start researching new phones. * The iPhone 8 Plus also has dual cameras, but no wide-angle camera... however, you get a 2X optical zoom camera and portrait mode photos which I am looking forward to. * The iPhone 8 has (slow) wireless charging but the G5 does not. * The iPhone 8 has 3D Touch but the G5 does not. * The iPhone feels like high end hardware, has a great IPS screen, and has great build quality but it's a little on the heavy side. The G5 is good too but doesn't seem quite up to the iPhone. * The glass back worries me but Consumer Reports says it is a rugged phone and survived their "tough 100 drops in the tumbler with just some minor scratches". iOS/iPhone negatives: * Speech recognition is not as advanced but it's not terrible either. * Speech recognition does not give you options to choose from a list of phrases of what you might have said. * I found it virtually impossible to place the cursor in the middle of a word when editing text. * Sometimes when I tap something it doesn't respond and I have to tap it again. This seems to happen mostly on small buttons. I didn't have this issue on the G5. * No always on display feature to show time and notifications. Many Android phones have had this for awhile, including the G5. Hopefully Apple will add this in an update as it's a very useful and convenient feature. * Can't configure bottom row of touch buttons. On Android, I had a button to quickly show and hide notifications. I found it better and faster than having to swipe down. * It seems Apple does not allow custom keyboards to access voice dictation... which means you have to switch keyboards to the standard one in order to access voice dictation. I use voice dictation a lot on my Android. * Home screen is not as configurable. Cannot control icon layout as much. * Some of my favorite apps (frequently used) are not available on iOS, like NOAA Weather and ColorNote. * You can turn on 'Reduce Motion' to limit animations that slow things down, but there are still some fades and other effects that you can't turn off. * Sharing photos to Google Drive made me always select the same folder (it didn't remember the selected folder). iOS/iPhone positives: * Frequent iOS updates. This is a big deal compared to most Android phones. * Easier to communicate with other people who also have iPhones (and there are a lot of them). * Can say "Hey Siri" to access Siri even when phone is laying down idle and without touching it. * Better security (so I've read). * Good integration across iPhones and iPads. * I like the way that news is integrated.

I have hard this phone over 2 years and don’t want to upgrade...which has never been the case in the past!

Overall very happy with the phone, just wish the sound quality was a little better. Not as loud as my old phone, sound is a bit “tinny”. Would love it if they would improve the battery life too, can’t go all day without having to recharge but otherwise, no other issues

Bought my wife the iPhone 8 and she loves it. wouldn't expect anything less from Apple. Quality product at a not-so-low price.

It’s an iPhone, it runs great, it has a ton of storage space and it’s the greatest color ever...you really can’t lose.

Waited 10 years to get a Product(red) product, so when it was to upgrade my phone. It was a no brainer. Love my phone...get it!

I love the phone and the person that sold it to me was great very helpful very informative and the phone is super nice and fast.

After venturing away from an iPhone to a Samsung S7 Edge for 18 months I am very happy to have an iPhone again this one is great.

I have been an Apple user for as long as I can remember and this one was yet another great iPhone

Great phone. I was missing using an apple phone. I am glad I am back to using an apple. The simplicity is amazing. Thank you

This iPhone works well but the one for my daughter keeps getting a green screen when using the front facing camera. Sound like a design issue since many user are reporting the same since across different versions.

Works just like an updated iPhone. Nothing earth shattering about this phone. Memory and picture quality have been improved.

I have had no problems with this iPhone 8. I do not use a screen protector and the glass is perfect.

This phone is great. I upgraded to a plus this time and really like the bigger phone. I also like the software upgrades to iOS 11

My daughter loves this phone and loves all the extra storage. Happy teen, happy mom.

Learning how to use my new iphone is pretty easy so far. Had a few pointers from a Best Buy employee at a local store

Very happy with this phone. It has everything I need. I love that I can use Siri even if phone is not connected to power source.

I have only had my iphone 8 plus for a few weeks but I am in love with the large screen and awesome camera. I have no complaints.
