Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Renewed Apple iPhone 8 Plus Gold 64GB for AT&T/T-Mobile by Chun Chun แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the quality is good, the price is acceptable.

It's just a phone: a beautiful and expensive phone. Like a dialer, that's it. Everything is licked, which is pleasant and beautiful, but not for work. And it makes no sense to take a version larger than 64GB. I took this device for myself, just to try what it is and how it behaves in my working environment, such aspects are very interesting to me. I sold my Samsung S8+ and decided to just experiment. And for myself, I have already made a conclusion: iOs is a wildly cropped Android. The iPhone does not deliver such functionality and ease of use. Yes, it is pleasant to use it, it has almost perfect ergonomics, the shell is all licked, it would seem for the complete convenience of its use, but . after all that it was possible for me to do by default on android (I had many different devices), and in particular on Samsung - this iPhone cannot offer me. Constantly need some kind of crutches, so that at least something will work normally. Yes, there are almost all the applications that I used on android, and here, but they are all cropped for one function or another. You canโ€™t download music normally quickly (thereโ€™s no good music player at all ! NO!), movies too (but itโ€™s simpler here, there are normal players), the same thing with books (but also simpler, there are also good readers), there is no file system ( but that's understandable). Contacts are sent only in the form of MMS (this is expensive and paid). There is no T9 in the caller. I also found it difficult to find a normal keyboard (my usual one here is completely different from the one on the android, which is the same with the reader, I had to look for another one). Applepay is a castrato who is like walking to the moon to Samsungpay. Phone control is implemented very inconveniently (could learn from Meizu), you constantly have to make unnecessary movements. Switching from android is very difficult. In principle, I knew what I was going for, and iOS is much better than the stock android, but outright loses to any shell from any other manufacturer. The iPhone is just an expensive and beautiful phone, nice, but.

Pros
  • - Feeling of use is very pleasant. - Design, color, tactile sensations. - The screen is very beautiful (auto-brightness is implemented very cool!). - Stereo sound at a high level. - Button, it's a fingerprint scanner, fast. Vibration feedback is very pleasant. - The camera is good. - Battery life is good. - Everything is very beautiful. - Slim, with very good ergonomics. - The size, precisely because of the fact that it is not full-screen. - Good headphones included. - Interaction with other Apple products.
Cons
  • - Heavy (really weighty). - Trimmed functionality for everything. - There is no normal file system (I immediately have to be friends with iTunes, which is still shamelessly buggy and slow, iCloud, and other aiks that should make my life easier, but this is not so). - There is no complete fast charging (everything is bad here too). - Long charging, both from a regular power supply (three hours), and from a 30-watt one (two hours). - No support for normal audio codecs. - Cropped NSFi. - Cropped Bluetooth. - Mono sound when recording. - There is no normal program for recording conversations (very difficult to find, and either expensive or poor functionality). - You can not take a long screenshot (multiple screens of text). - It's just a phone.
