The iPhone 8 Plus Camera Performance: A Review

As I traveled to the Google campus, I had the opportunity to test the camera performance of the iPhone 8 Plus. The device's camera capabilities were put to the test with various shots and scenarios, providing a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and weaknesses.

I started by testing the front-facing camera, which was used to record some sample footage with the rail facing camera. I zoomed in on objects using the telephoto lens, demonstrating its capabilities. The sample shots taken from the front-facing camera were not impressive, revealing overly contrasty images that lacked depth and detail. However, these issues may be mitigated when compared to other devices.

I then moved on to test the rear-facing camera, which showed some improvement in terms of video recording capabilities. The device can record 4K video at up to 60fps and even slow-motion up to 240 FPS, a significant upgrade from earlier iPhone models. However, I did not notice a dramatic difference in the day/night shooting experience compared to my expectations.

One notable feature that caught my attention was the dynamic range performance. During a visit to the Google Museum, I took some shots with the rear-facing camera using the 2x telephoto zoom, and the results were impressive. The device's portrait mode, which uses AI to create a bokeh effect, worked well and produced excellent results.

When walking around, the stabilization of the rear-facing camera was also noteworthy, allowing for smooth footage without noticeable shakes or wobbles. However, I did encounter some issues with the front-facing camera during my walk, which made it difficult to capture clear images.

Another notable aspect of the iPhone 8 Plus is its ability to record high-quality video when using the telephoto lens. During a shot of a moving car, the shutter speed was very fast, producing excellent results despite the motion blur. This feature makes the iPhone 8 Plus an excellent option for content creators and videographers.

In conclusion, the iPhone 8 Plus camera performance has improved in some areas but still lags behind its predecessor in terms of overall image quality. While the rear-facing camera excels in video recording capabilities and dynamic range, the front-facing camera falls short. Nevertheless, this device remains a capable option for those seeking a reliable smartphone with decent camera abilities.

Future Developments

As I concluded my review, I couldn't help but wonder about the potential future developments in camera technology. The use of AI to enhance portrait mode is an exciting direction, and I expect to see further improvements in this area. Additionally, the integration of advanced features like 4K video recording at high frame rates will likely become more prevalent in upcoming devices.

The Google Campus Experience

During my visit to the Google campus, I had the opportunity to explore various Android versions and take some snaps with the iPhone 8 Plus. The Google Museum featured an original rock from 1999 that sparked nostalgia for early Android users, while the Google Earth simulator provided a unique glimpse into future tech possibilities.

The Android Garden, which was open to the public, offered a fascinating look at the history of Android development. As I walked through the garden, I felt as though I had traveled back in time, surrounded by iconic Android devices and memorabilia.

A Brief Walk with iPhone 8 Plus

As I concluded my review, I decided to take some footage while walking around using both the rear-facing camera and the front-facing camera. The stabilization of the rear-facing camera performed well, allowing for smooth footage despite my movements. However, the front-facing camera struggled to capture clear images, particularly in low-light conditions.

The iPhone 8 Plus Footage

Throughout my review, I provided various samples taken with the iPhone 8 Plus. These shots showcased the device's capabilities and limitations, including its portrait mode, telephoto zoom, and video recording features. The footage was shot using both the rear-facing camera and the front-facing camera, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses.

Conclusion

The iPhone 8 Plus offers a reliable smartphone experience with decent camera capabilities. While it may not excel in every area, the device remains a solid choice for those seeking a trustworthy option. As I conclude my review, I encourage readers to share their thoughts on the iPhone 8 Plus camera performance and future developments in camera technology. Whether you're an Android or iOS user, there's always room for improvement, and I look forward to continuing this discussion with fellow tech enthusiasts.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys shooting this video with the front-facing camera of the iPhone e+ and again I'm travelling actually to us so quite a few of you guys like the real camera review that I do when I travel so that is not a vacations of work a trip very small trip but I thought why not do a video like that where I'll be taking a lot of samples videos with iPhone 8 plus so that you can get an idea in real world how it performs so yeah first it's a hop to Dubai and then to San Francisco now flight to Dubai got delayed so was just playing around with the iPhone 8 plus camera zooming in and this is the bouquet effect that you get and I feel the 2x zoom does make a difference and it can be used for so London Dubai and this is the connecting flight to San Francisco it's a long flight almost 16 as from the bye to San Francisco 100 in SFO I purchased this Apple watch and the room lighting was very dull and I took some snaps here but as you can see the pictures are not that great and low lighting next day went to the Google even for the pixel was supposed to launch and then natural lighting the camera actually does pretty well as you can see even with the zoom in daylight the pictures come out to be curved I met Michael Fisher over there but the front-facing camera for selfies I don't think so it's the best on the iPhone 8 plus I also met mkbhd over there and again this picture was taken and artificial lighting conditions so this should give me an idea how will be the selfies in artificial lighting here I just wanted to show you how is the audio recording and you can also zoom in and zoom out while you are doing the recording so this is a sample so I'll let the audio play which was recorded and as you can see almost the entire so hi guys sorry couldn't update as you can see immense transfers to just finish the Guru even and heading out so very good sample from the front-facing camera this was recorded with the rail facing camera and I'm just testing this zoom this says that one X and you also have the telephoto lens so just zooming in and out of the objects so that you can get an idea as you can see I just zoomed in and let's zoom on this bridge so yeah this is zoomed out and this is zoomed an image some quick samples with the rear facing camera and as you can see this is zoomed N and again and morning the zooming in actually is good but at night this is the normal shot and this is the zoomed in shot it's not a good idea to use that 2x telephoto zoom at night I also went to the Google campus and this is familiar territory if you have seen this is Android or you and I will also be showing you the various other Android versions in the Android car and data state and this google campus took some more sample shots this is at 2x and they also have this Google museum where they had this original rock that Google had in 1999 and this is a huge Google Earth like a flight simulator and some more snaps that I took with the rear-facing camera still at the Google campus this will be a good time just walking while shooting the video as you can see and this parent so they should be an idea if Marshall video while walking with the world facing camera this iPhone ADA so at the Android garden as you can see back this is part of the history to be following Android like me we have all the and apparently this is sort of open to public if you're here you don't need a every said we will pass for best one so this I'll be posting a lot more snaps about this one here are some more pictures that I shot with the iPhone 8 plus rear-facing camera at this Android Cardon and I feel the dynamic range is actually a pretty good job with the rear-facing camera of this iPhone 8 Plus this was in one of the Google's office and I do feel this 2x zoom does make a difference this is a regular picture but this was in that portrait program you can get that bokeh effect with the same this I shot when I was just walking around and I feel it came out really good and this is using the telephoto lens the shutter speed is actually very fast with the iPhone 8 plus this was shot and actually a moving car and then also the picture came out to be really good so guys this is a potential fool key put a with the iPhone eight plus so guys just our trip is kind of an aneurysm hey what do you think about the future yeah that was interesting single camera doing the portrait thing and being done by AI right that was interesting thing so yeah anyways this video is about the iPhone eight plus so this is like from the front facing camera and guys we're just walking on the road so this is the kind of footage that let's just walk this see how is the stabilization so this is what you can expect guys and in the later part of the video I'll give you my conclusions but you guys post in the comment section what do you think about the footage that you sing from this iPhone 8 plus the rear facing camera and the front-facing camera so thank you guys so what do I feel regarding the camera performances this iPhone 8 plus if we talk about the rear facing camera I would say the rear facing camera performance has improved a little bit if we compare with the iPhone 7 or the 7 plus but again not by a huge margin yes in terms of video they have freely improved and now you can record 4k video up to 60fps and even slow-motion up to 240 FPS which was not possible with earlier iPhones but again if you already have the 7 plus I don't think so there's a huge improvement the day/night difference that you would see but suddenly yeah the rear facing camera performance was very good and also you saw that 4k video when I was walking around the stabilization is actually good but when we talk about the front in camera I would say the front-facing camera performance was not that good if you saw some of the selfie pictures that I took was simply not that great and the pictures who are overly contrasty and stuff so in terms of front-facing camera I didn't like it that much but again you guys let me know what do you feel about the camera performance of this iPhone 7 s iphone 8 plus and would you like to see more of these
