The iPhone 8 Plus has a great camera, but its biggest rival may be a member of its own
family.
Apple's 10th anniversary iPhone X features a new design and extra features, including slightly different cameras. So how much better are the cameras on the iPhone X, and are they worth at least $200, £200 or AU$550 more than the 8 Plus?
We took the two phones on a tour through San Francisco's Chinatown to find out.
What's different?
Both the X and the 8 Plus share a dual-lens, 12-megapixel camera, with slightly different specs. Here's the breakdown:
Wide lens is f/1.8 on both, with optical image stabilization (OIS)
Telephoto lens is slightly faster on the X (f/2.4 vs. f/2.8)
Telephoto lens has OIS on the X only
As for the front-facing camera, both have the same resolution at 7 megapixels, but on the X it's part of a larger setup called the TrueDepth camera. This includes an infrared camera, sensors and light projectors capable of perceiving depth. https://www.cnet.com/news/iphone-x-vs-iphone-8-plus-is-the-camera-worth-the-money/
