iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone 7 Plus Camera Comparison By TecworkZ

"Music" Hey guys I am Sagar from Tecworkz. And It is time, we compare the camera of the iPhone 8 Plus with that of the iPhone 7 Plus, and see how much of an improvement do we get. The camera module and its specifications, are more or less similar to that of the iPhone 7 Plus, but Apple tells us that these are new sensors with deeper pixels, and the image processor combined with the power of the A11 Bionic chip, gives the 8 Plus, an upper hand. Out of the dual cameras on both these phones, the first has a 28mm wide lens, with an aperture of f/1.8. While the 2nd one is a telephoto lens of 56mm with an aperture of f/2.8. Portrait mode was introduces back with the iPhone 7 Plus, and with the 8 Plus, we get a new Portrait lighting mode.

It allows you to choose from various professional lighting modes, while capturing or even after you have captured a portrait shot. It is still in the early days, so it doesn’t work every time, but when it does, the results are truly amazing. iPhone 8 Plus, has a few new tricks, when it comes to shooting video. It can now capture 4k videos at 24, 30 or 60fps and 1080p slow motion videos at 240 fps. Both of which are limited to 30 and 120fps respectively on the iPhone 7 Plus.

These features are not even available in most of the high end cameras. So having them packed in your smartphone, is really impressive. With all of this out of the way, lets take a look at the images and videos from both these iPhones. But before that, make sure to hit the subscribe button, so you don’t miss out on any of the amazing videos, coming up on this channel. Right from the first image, you can tell, that the colours are more saturated and vibrant from the 8 Plus, than what we are used to seeing from an iPhone, and I am liking it.

Apple seems to have made some changes, to its image processing algorithm, and now it adds a bit of punch to the images. Images from both these devices look really good, But the one from the iPhone 8 Plus, show a bit more detail, and lot better dynamic range. On the 8 Plus, you can have the auto HDR mode always turned on, which helps it capture more details in the shadows, while also preserving the highlights. I don’t know if you can tell it through this video, but there is a bit more richness, to the images from the iPhone 8 Plus. We see even bigger difference, when we get indoors, in artificial and lower lighting conditions.

Both devices still capture good images, but the iPhone 8 Plus also captures much detailed and brighter images. You can clearly see the 8 Plus, capturing better contrast, while the images from the 7 Plus seem a bit too flat. Now, when we look at the Plus 7 Plus, we are talking about one of the best camera on a smartphone, and it is amazing to see the 8 Plus, performing even better. We have a wide and a telephoto lens on both, for taking images like these. But honestly, I don’t use the 2X lens very often.

For me, the second lens, comes in play while taking portrait shots.7 Plus has seen improvements to its portrait shots over time, but the 8 Plus, takes even better ones, right out of the box. Even when you have multiple people in the shot, these images turn out great. You can even use the portrait lighting modes on the 8 Plus, to get amazing images like these. This is still in beta, so you can only expect it to get better over time. iPhone 8 Plus, will take your low light photography game to the next level.

Just look at how much detailed, and brighter its images are compared to the ones from the iPhone 7 Plus. Even zooming in, we see the 8 Plus capture much more details, and lot less noise. The slow sync flash on the 8 Plus, also gives better results, you can see it from this image. With the front facing camera, I did not see a huge improvement in image quality on the 8 Plus, but again the way in which it process the images, adds a bit more punch to them, when compared with the ones taken with the iPhone 7 Plus. Video capture, is another area on the iPhone 8 Plus which saw a huge improvement.

Stabilisation is good on both, and the 7 Plus can take 4k videos at 30fps. But on the 8 Plus, you can switch that up to 4k at 60 fps, and it even captures 1080p slow motion videos at 240fps. iPhone 7 plus, can capture a similar frame rate at 720p resolution. It is clear, that the iPhone 8 Plus has a better camera, but If you are looking at any of these images individually, they will look just as good. So the answer to the question, that are the cameras on the iPhone 8 Plus, significantly better than those on the 7 Plus, is a definite yes.

But if you ask me, that whether you should get the 8 Plus, if you already own the 7 Plus, I would have to say no, unless you have the extra cash and absolutely need to have the 8 Plus for its better camera and, in that case, who am I to stop you. But if you are using an iPhone 6S plus or the ones from before that, and if you are due for an upgrade, then you should go for the iPhone 8 Plus. Unless of-course you are ready to spend even more, for an even better camera performance, in that case, you should get the iPhone 10. But that is a discussion for another video. So lets leave it at that for now.

That is it for this video guys. Let me know your thoughts, about the camera on these devices in the comments section.
