iPhone 8 phone characteristics RAM. The main camera of a mobile device is usually located on the back of the body and is used for taking photos and videos. Smartphone functions and mechanisms

Apple for ten years iPhone history has accustomed consumers to the fact that after the announcement of a major version of smartphones, a continuation of the “S” line will be released. Therefore, this year many were waiting for the 7S model. But contrary to established tradition, the Cupertino team immediately showed the iPhone 8. What is the new product and has the device deservedly skipped a whole generation?

The new product was shown on September 12 at Apple presentations at the Steve Jobs Theater. A few days later, pre-order of the device became available, and on September 22, sales began in some “first wave” countries. Russia entered the second echelon and the smartphone appeared on our shelves a week later: September 29.

Technical characteristics of iPhone 8

The characteristics of the iPhone 8 have improved significantly. He received Apple processor A11 Bionic. In it, 4 cores are energy efficient, and the other 2 are productive. The new controller provides smooth transition between them if necessary. It is important that the engineers managed not to reduce autonomy. By the way, the A11 Bionic chip is designed to work with neural networks. This means the device will perform tasks more intelligently in many use cases.

• Display: 4.7-inch IPS with a resolution of 1334x750, PPI - 326
• Processor: Apple A11 Bionic
• Cameras: 12 MP main, f/1.8; 7 MP front
• Persistent memory: 64 or 256 GB
• RAM: 2 GB
• Battery: 1821 mAh
• Interfaces: Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC
• OS: iOS 11
• Weight: 148 g
• Dimensions (WxHxD): 67.3 x 138.4 x 7.3 mm

Appearance

The new product did not receive anything fundamentally new in design. It's still the same look and feel of the iPhone 6 from 2014. The layout of the elements is the same: at the front there is a display, a Home button and sensors, and at the back there is a camera and flash. The large frames on the front have also not gone away; after all, the “eight” is not at all similar to the iPhone X.

For lovers of fashionable framelessness, this will be a huge minus. But in terms of practicality, this solution gives the new product a few points of advantage, since in the event of a fall, the risk of the display collapsing is slightly less. Didn't receive iPhone 8 aluminum body, now only the side frame is made of metal, and there are glass panels in front and behind. At the same time, it was possible to maintain protection from water and dust according to the IP67 standard.

This was probably done for ease of implementation. wireless charging, which also debuted in a new release. But now the smartphone inevitably needs to be hidden in a case, otherwise expensive repairs cannot be avoided. In addition, Apple claims that the glass on the back panel is very durable (and expensive) and should not break. Practice shows that behind these words there is more deceit than real benefit.

Still, the iPhone 7, made of brushed aluminum 7000 series, calmly withstood even serious falls on an uneven surface. And if you don’t take into account the Jet Black version of the smartphone, scratching the device was not so easy. The glass in the iPhone 8 behaves fundamentally differently and will most likely accumulate big number traces of use.

Many may also be upset by the lack of a MiniJack for headphones. The included headset is connected via a lightning connector. There are two ways to get out of the situation: use an adapter or Bluetooth headphones.

Display

The display also remains unchanged for the fourth year: the same 4.7-inch IPS matrix with a resolution of 1334x750. The dot density is 326 PPI. The time-tested screen is still a kind of benchmark in the Apple world. It has excellent viewing angles, natural color reproduction and pleasant contrast. And unlike OLED technology, there is no unpleasant pixel burn-in effect.

But one cannot help but blame Apple for still using a display with such a low resolution. Most competitors have been using Full HD or even QHD matrices for a long time. And these are not just marketing ploys, since the difference between the Retina display in the iPhone 8 and the Full HD matrix is ​​different top smartphone noticeable.

Among the innovations, the TrueTone function is notable. Previously, it was used only in expensive iPad tablets Pro, now this feature has appeared on the iPhone. The essence of her work is automatic adjustment white balance depending on lighting. If we look at typical usage scenarios, TrueTone will make the displays “cooler” in bright daylight and go into warm colors in the room.

This technology should not be confused with another tool - Night Shift. It changes the display temperature based on the time of day rather than the lighting. Although both functions make the screen readability more pleasant and the eyes less tired.

Performance and memory

Another extreme important feature iPhone 8 has abandoned PowerVR graphics accelerators. iPhone 8 has a 3-core processor own production. The company claims that the new chip is up to 30% faster than its predecessor.

In fact, the smartphone shows approximately the same results as last year's model. All applications and games work flawlessly: there are no stutters or fps drops. In this regard, the smartphone is ahead of many competitors, and an important role in this was played by low resolution screen.

In terms of memory, everything is also excellent. There are 2 permanent storage options to choose from: 64 or 256 GB, no microSD slot. The RAM size is 2 GB. The values ​​are quite acceptable and should be enough for most tasks.

Cameras

Main camera by and large hasn't changed. There are the same 12 MP cameras with f/1.8 aperture, but a faster matrix and a new filter have been introduced. The gadget works with HDR enabled by default. This was probably done so that the resulting images, even without processing, would look more saturated. This is how cameras work Google smartphones Pixel and Samsung Galaxy.

Although, unlike its competitors, the gadget from Cupertino produces natural colors and does not bother with over-sharping. During the day, the resulting photos are at an excellent level, at night things are a little worse, but the result is still acceptable. We can confidently note the improvement in the quality of pictures in poor light compared to the iPhone 7. Unfortunately, the new product does not receive support for the “Portrait” mode, which is available in the Plus version.

Among the minor improvements, it is worth noting the improved flash. Now, when shooting in the dark, the diodes adjust the intensity and the background is not darkened, but remains as light as the main subject.

Videography has also received noticeable innovations. iPhone 8 is capable of shooting 4K videos at 24, 30 or 60 fps, and recording at 240 fps has become available in Full HD mode. Stabilization is present, and the device is among the best in video quality.

System

It is worth considering the work separately operating system. iOS 11 works well, but there are rare animation jitters or errors with font display. In that iPhone plan 8 is not unique, almost all smartphones Apple steel work worse after updating to version 11 of the system. But new products always receive bug fixes and, probably, the G8 will function more smoothly.

Among the pleasant aspects of iOS 11, it is noteworthy widespread implementation machine learning. The company talks about work neural networks in Siri, the camera and some other elements of the system. Due to the A11 Bionic processor, tailored for such tasks, such functionality will develop more and more over time.

AR

Apple places great emphasis on augmented reality technology. Along with iOS 11, ARKit was introduced, with which developers can create various software in this area. There are already a huge number of games and applications available that use AR. For example, you can now easily measure distance, height, throw a ball into a virtual hoop, or control your army, which will fight right in the room.

The potential of the technology has not yet been revealed, so soon the store Apps Store will be full interesting content augmented reality. To prove this conclusion, we note that after the announcement of ARKit, Google began developing its own technology and so far the “good corporation” has not been able to demonstrate interesting results.

Autonomy and battery

iPhone 8 has a 1821 mAh battery. By the standards of devices from the Android world, this is just pennies. But in fact, a smartphone is capable of special problems work all day from morning until evening. Based on the numbers, the following results are obtained:

• Talk time: 14 hours
• Music listening time: 40 hours
• Surfing the Internet: 12 hours
• Video playback: 13 hours

Measurements were carried out in ideal conditions, so in reality we should expect slightly lower figures. In general, the new product works approximately like the iPhone 7.

But the nice thing is that Apple has finally introduced wireless and fast charging into its device. But Cupertino, in their favorite manner, made the functions additional and did not include the required accessories in the delivery package. To use fast charging, you need to purchase official store power plug from the MacBook and lightning cable- USB-C. The kit will cost almost 7 thousand rubles.

The same situation with wireless technology. Although Apple used the well-known Qi standard, the corresponding docking station must be purchased separately. average cost such a device costs 2 thousand rubles. Total to reveal all iPhone functionality 8 you need to spend an additional 9 thousand rubles.

We noted the bad, now about the good. By using fast charging The smartphone can charge 50% in 30 minutes, 100% will be charged in about 75 minutes. Through the Qi standard, everything happens a little slower and as a result, the gadget is fully charged in 3-4 hours. But in in this case It is the elimination of wires that is important, rather than the speed of operation.

iPhone 8 price

In Russia, iPhone 8 is sold at a price of 56,990 rubles for the 64 GB version and 68,990 rubles for the 256 GB model. Prices are high, especially compared to tax-exempt states in the US, where the new product sells for $699 and $849. Therefore, when buying a smartphone abroad, you can save a lot of money.

The new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have been especially transformed internally, but externally they are still difficult to distinguish from their predecessors, at least on the front panel. Both received smartphones fast memory and other gadgets that make life easier for the average user.

Considering its small dimensions, the power of the hardware platform is truly impressive. Wherein, iPhone specifications The 8 and iPhone 8 Plus have improved significantly. Here you will find a six-core processor made using 10 nm technology, 64 GB of internal memory, and not 32, as on its predecessors, and 4.7- and 5.5-inch screens, respectively. The battery capacity of both phones has decreased, but they have received fast charging and wireless functions.

In terms of design, both devices still have metal frames around them, but there is now a glass cover on the back, which has several advantages over anodized aluminum.

Processor and memory

The Apple iPhone 8/8 Plus uses an A11 Bionic processor with 6 cores on board, which is equipped with an advanced neural engine and an integrated M11 coprocessor. This solution uses 2 high-performance Monsoon cores and 4 energy-efficient Mistral cores. As far as we know, this is the first time the company has used a video accelerator own development, and its specifications remain under wraps. Thanks to this combination, smartphones score a record 200 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark.

Regardless of the model, be it 4.7- or 5.5-inch, you get two options of internal memory to choose from: 64 or 256 GB. Apple doubled the nominal ROM capacity compared to the previous generation, but left the RAM capacity the same. Thus, the iPhone 8 has 2 GB of RAM on board, and the iPhone 8 Plus has 3 GB.

Screen and camera

General characteristics display panels The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus also have not undergone major changes. These are the same IPS screens, but with improved color reproduction thanks to support color space DCI-P3 and HDR. The pixel density remained the same: 326 ppi in the case of the 4.7-inch model and 401 ppi in the 5.5-inch.

It should be noted that here and there the True Tone function has appeared, which adjusts the hue of the display colors at its own discretion. The picture becomes a little yellowish, but the eyes get tired much less.

Cameras began to shoot better, despite the fact that their characteristics remained virtually unchanged. iPhone 8 received one 12-megapixel module with an f/1.8 aperture, optical stabilizer and autofocus. His brother has acquired a pair of lenses that have sensors with the same resolution (12 MP), but with different apertures. Main module boasts an f/1.8 aperture, and an additional one of f/2.8. There is an LED flash at the back, and Retina Flash is used to highlight selfies.

The selfie camera on both phones has a 7-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture.

Battery, autonomy and new features

Unfortunately, Cupertino engineers had to reduce the battery capacity of the regular Eight and Plus. Compared to last year's seven new model lost more than 100 mAh, and the difference in capacity between the Pluses is more than 200 mAh. One way or another, in terms of autonomy, the new products showed themselves to be no worse, or even better, in some specific use scenarios.

Capacity iPhone battery 8 is 1821 mAh, and its power is 6.91 Wh, while the iPhone 8 Plus has a 2691 mAh battery with a power of 10.22 Wh. According to the manufacturer, the more compact model is capable of 14 hours of talk time or 12 hours of surfing in Safari. The older model can withstand 21 hours of talk time and 13 hours of web surfing, despite having the same specifications.

Both devices support wireless charging, which allows you to increase the battery level to 50% in 30 minutes, provided that the phone is in standby mode. There is also wireless charging, powered by Qi technology.

Other Features

All Apple smartphones of 2017 are protected from moisture and dust according to the IP67 standard. iPhone and iPhone 8 Plus can be submerged in water to a depth of 1 meter and remain there for 30 minutes. They are equipped physical button“Home” with a built-in fingerprint scanner.

Both gadgets are equipped with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC for contactless payments Apple Pay, as well as GPS and GLONASS for navigation. The LTE module built into the processor provides download/upload speeds according to the Cat.12 standard (up to 450 Mbit/s).

Also, do not forget about the presence of support for ARKit, which ensures the operation of augmented reality technology. To improve the efficiency of using system resources, it is used here software Metal 2 and Core ML.

In September 2017 Apple company announced the release of three new smartphones: IPhone 8, IPhone 8 Plus and the cutting-edge IPhone X. These three phones can be purchased for $699, $799 and $999, respectively. And although the eighth models look very interesting, most people are focused on the X model, which will go on sale on November 3rd. However, there are many reasons why you should buy the eighth iPhone rather than the iPhone X.

These two smartphones have the same “stuffing”

Functionality is one of the main reasons why you should choose the eighth iPhone over the iPhone X. Their functionality is almost identical, they have very similar technical characteristics. Each of the three phones houses the A11 Bionic neural chip and M11 motion coprocessor. The only difference is how smartphones use their features. iPhone X uses these chips to support the facial recognition function, which is not present in the eighth model.

Fingerprint recognition is a proven feature, but facial recognition is not

Since the release of the iPhone 5S in 2013, Touch ID, or the fingerprint scanner, has changed the way people use their smartphones. Now you could use your fingerprint to unlock your phone, refuse complex password, and also pay for goods. Touch ID is a proven feature that works reliably. And on this moment It is unknown how well facial recognition will replace Touch ID.

The eighth iPhone supports both fast and wireless charging, just like the iPhone X

All three new phones support the same wireless charging standards, as well as accelerated charging. The downside is that you will have to purchase additional accessories if you decide to use one of the new charging methods. Today, Apple offers you to purchase several different charging platforms for wireless charging, as well as a special charger to speed up the process.

The iPhone 8 Plus has almost the same camera as the iPhone X.

If you buy an iPhone in order to make high-quality and beautiful pictures, then the “8 Plus” and “X” models have identical cameras. The eighth iPhone also takes good pictures, but the Plus model has an additional telephoto lens, which significantly improves the quality of the image and allows you not to lose it when zooming in. The only difference between the iPhone 8 Plus and X cameras is that the latter has a function optical stabilization images for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses, allowing you to take clearer photos, especially in low-light conditions. In the iPhone 8 Plus, this function is present only for the wide-angle lens.

The front cameras of the two models are also identical except for a few additional features.

On paper, the front camera found on the 8 and 8 Plus models is identical to the one found on the iPhone X. All of these cameras have 7 megapixels, an ƒ/2.2 aperture, and can also shoot video in 1080p quality. The only difference is "exclusive" software functions that iPhone X has: portrait mode For front camera, portrait lighting, which lets you remove the background from a selfie for a more dramatic effect, and Animoji, a feature that lets you send animated emoji to your friends that mimic your facial movements and can even speak in your voice.

The eighth iPhone doesn't have the dreaded bar at the top of the screen

The camera is the only place where the iPhone X's continuous display, which stretches from edge to edge in all directions, is interrupted. The resulting stripe looks truly terrible. Fortunately, similar strip not available on iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

iPhone X is more expensive than iPhone 8

The iPhone 8 starts at $700, while the larger 8 Plus model will cost at least $800. As for the iPhone X, it will cost you at least a thousand dollars. Then it's simple math: you can save from 200 to 300 dollars if you buy an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus, which are also new and modern.

If you are replacing the seventh iPhone with the eighth, your covers and cases will fit

The dimensions of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are almost identical in size previous models from the line. New phones are a little heavier, so they differ slightly in height, length and depth. However, each difference is less than one millimeter, which means that your old cases will fit the new phones. The dimensions of the iPhone X are completely different from the sizes of previous models, so your cases will not fit it, and this is another cost, given the considerable cost of the device itself.

You can find the eighth iPhone on sale

Considering the fact that absolutely everyone is focused on the iPhone X, you can easily find and purchase the eighth model. At the same time, the iPhone X is in huge demand, which Apple is not always able to satisfy, so many people will wait weeks after the release of the smartphone to get it, while you are already enjoying your brand new iPhone 8. which has all the main advantages of the iPhone X, but at the same time costs less.

Apple iPhone 8 is the next flagship of the American company of the same name. Judging by the rumors and announcements circulating on the Internet, the smartphone will have outstanding technical characteristics, just like an iris scanner and a newfangled frameless display. As they say, this will be a revolution in the market mobile technology, well, we'll wait and see. In this article we will try to give detailed description phone, with photos and videos pulled from Chinese suppliers spare parts for iPhones.

According to tradition, Apple holds a presentation of a new device in the fall, and the presentation of the iPhone 8 will not be an exception. In September 2017, fans of American smartphones will be able to see the device live. And in another month, you will have the opportunity to buy it and personally see the declared characteristics of the iPhone 8.

We are waiting for September 2017 and starting to stock up on food for the long wait in lines for a new phone. Based on the news and "leaked rumors", this will be a new technological milestone in mobile technology.

Everyone is already tired of waiting, so let’s move on directly to the description of the phone.

Phone description

Let's begin the description of the technical characteristics of the iPhone 8 smartphone with the electronic filling. The device is equipped with an Apple A11 processor, which meets all modern user needs. The chip is manufactured using a 10nm process technology, which means reduced power consumption and greater processor performance. Perhaps the battery will last not for a day, but for two or three, fans will be delighted with this news.

The most significant moment in appearance will be the appearance of a frameless display, the “HOME” button in its usual form will no longer exist, it will be replaced by a special touch pad on the device screen. The display is made using OLED technology, which again has a beneficial effect on battery life iPhone 8. Unlike Samsung devices, the screen will not have beveled edges; there will be no practical need for this. The information will be clearly visible even without this, due to the increased contrast of the OLED matrix.

Among the announced innovations is the possibility of wireless charging, with a significantly increased range, capable of operating at a distance of up to 50 centimeters from the transmitter. The wireless charging function of the iPhone 8 will be relevant to many users; there will be no need to place the phone clearly above the transmitting platform. This fact opens up enormous opportunities for manufacturers of iPhone accessories; it is now possible to build charging device, for example, in a desk or car cup holder.

Screen

Characteristics of the iPhone 8 phone display. The matrix is ​​made using OLED technology, which means that power consumption will be at the highest level, as well as contrast and picture quality. OLED displays do not need to be backlit, as LCD screens, which means a significant reduction in the thickness of the display module, down to tenths of a millimeter.

The screen resolution will finally become full HD, like that of famous competitors, the picture quality will be worthy of the legendary smartphone, in a word, users will be happy. According to information from reliable sources, the production of matrices for iPhone displays 8 will be handled by Samsung, the famous curved screens on their cell phones. Viewing angles will remain high, as before, the image can be seen from any angle, without distortion of the picture.

The downside is that the lifespan of an OLED matrix is ​​much shorter when compared to an LCD. But for end user this fact will not be noticeable, a person would rather change his phone or break the glass on his Apple iPhone 8 than notice changes in picture quality.

Camera

In terms of the technical characteristics of the camera, you won’t have to expect any special changes; the picture quality, as always, will be at its best; only the sensor resolution will increase to 16 Mpx. iPhone 8 will have improved optical stabilization, unlike younger models. The f/1.8 aperture means that in low light, photo quality will be acceptable in most situations.

Among other things, the camera will be able to take excellent 3D pictures. By using dual camera You can correct incorrect focus in a photo by simply opening the program and pressing a few buttons. You don’t need to reshoot anything, it’s a very convenient thing.

Older iPhone model 8 Plus will be able to make 3D models of objects using special application. The future has arrived, gentlemen.

Battery and wireless charging

The iPhone 8 will install enough powerful battery Li-Pol with a capacity of 2350 mAh. For version 8 Plus, there will be a 3550 mAh battery, which will significantly increase the autonomy of the smartphone.

Among the interesting technical characteristics of the new iPhone 8, it is worth noting the presence of wireless charging. With its help you can charge the battery without inserting it into the connector charging cord, this will make life much easier for users.

In addition, the iPhone can be charged at a distance of up to 50 cm from the charging pad, but how longer distance, the slower charging will occur.

​iphone 8 design

Design like specifications change significantly, but not so much that the Apple smartphone in the hands of the user would not be recognizable. Initially, it was planned to get rid of metal in the body, but this idea was rejected, considering that buyers would not understand the new trend.

The design of the iPhone 8 will remain laconic and strict, without unnecessary frills. The public will be offered several color options to choose from, not much different from the current ones.

Prices in Russia and the world

For an iPhone 8 in the minimum configuration, they will ask for $1000. In Europe, USA, Australia, this price tag will become the starting point. For Russia, the situation, as always, is somewhat different, the cost of a new smartphone will be about 80,000 rubles in the first two months, then the price tag will begin to decline, reaching 50-60 thousand rubles. in 3-4 months.
