“For the first time ever, Apple has two new big-screen phones in its lineup, in the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus,” Mark Spoonauer writes for Tom’s Guide. “These flagships have some things in common, including the record-setting A11 Bionic processor, dual rear cameras and wireless charging. But there are a lot of differences, too, in terms of design, display and battery life.”
“And let’s not forget the $200 price difference between the iPhone 8 Plus and the more expensive iPhone X,” Spoonauer writes. “So which device is right for you?”
Spoonauer writes, “The iPhone X wins this close contest with a score of 86 to 84, winning four out of eight rounds and tying in one.”

Uhh go with iPhone X. This isn’t even a question unless your sole evaluation criteria is to “save” $200. Or you’re a hardware review site that does evaluations based on a spec sheet and not a vision of the future of where the puck is headed.
Couldn’t agree more wth MDN and AustinX. Get a clue. iPhone 8 is a great phone, but for the threshold to the future X marks the spot.
The one that fits in my pocket.
Neither.
I feel iPhones are waay too expensive/over priced, now, and have turned into status symbol devices for quite awhile now, starting pretty much with the iPhone 7.
I rather pay the more expensive pricing for an iPad Pro than for a new iPhone 8 or X any day of the week!
I feel like I get a better value for my hard earned cash for a larger, immenently more useful mobile device than an iPhone.
I’ll stick to purchasing iPads and iPod Touches and get myself a cheap Android phone or “pay as you go” phone just for cell calls.
I never go online with my Andoid phones ever.
I just use my cheap smartphones as a phone.
I consider myself an iPad user and NOT an iPhone user.
a lot of people do exactly that, I’ve noticed lately.
You mean “eminently”. This is a weird, niche use case that doesn’t apply to anyone I know or have ever heard of. So you either never use internet on the go (the entire point of mobile computing) or you carry around an iPad with cellular, odd. I can understand people not wanting to pay $1000, but to virtue signal that iPhones are status symbols and not as useful as iPads, while you’re above it all, is lame.
An LG V30.
Give me a true wide angle lens (and hi-fi sound) on an iPhone and I’ll reconsider. In fact, I’d love to reconsider. (And no, having to affix an accessory lens every time I want to change perspective won’t work for me.)
I’m not a pro and not selling my pix, but I love photography, and will settle for some deficits in algorithmic sharpening, low light etc., to get the whole other universe shots having wide angle opens up.
Neither, I am quite content with my iPhone 5s.
Sticking with my iPhone 6S+ which just came off contract. As the phones become so much more expensive I try to get a minimum of 3 years in before upgrading. Might consider the next gen iPhone X (XS?) as Apple will have worked out the bugs.
Interesting that the iOS update unlocked my iPhone.
