Apple iPhone 8 Plus 256Gb
The iPhone 8 Plus 256gb is a phone that was born with a great burden on its shoulders. It came at a time when the iPhone was facing stiff competition from the Android ecosystem and was actually slacking. Rather than being the phone that would put the iPhone at the top again, it faced competition right from birth by the more expensive iPhone X.
In spite of everything going against it, the iPhone 8 plus 256 GB still turned out a fighter and was quite popular. The iPhone 8 Plus 256 Gb was the last of a decade of language design with a home button that Apple had pioneered and maintained, but was still as functional as when it first came out.
Checking out the iPhone 8 Plus 256gb
Straight from the surface, you will be greeted by elegant gold, space grey or silver colour options that you can choose from. Like all iPhones before it, the iPhone 8 Plus 256 Gb was built to be at the top of the pile. This saw it come with features such as dust and water resistance with an IP67 rating. This meant the phone was encased in an aluminium frame with a glass front and a glass back.
The 5.5-inch retina display also came with True Tone functionality. The 401 PPI of the display will free your mind to enjoy what's on-screen rather than try to make out what's happening on the display.
Though Face ID was now available, this phone would still have Touch ID instead of the newer face detection feature. Wi-fi is common to phones from all top brands, and Apple Pay is a standard wireless payment option. By now, you should be sold on the phone and it's already in your cart.
To ensure every bit of interaction you have with the phone, the Apple A11 Bionic chip was made the brains of the whole operation. There is a 3 core Apple GPU to aid with graphic-intensive applications such as gaming and watching movies at the full 2160p resolution of the screen.
To ensure you never have to experience stutters and buffers, the phone is equipped with 3 gigs worth of RAM and 256Gb of NVMe storage. All of this is powered by a 2700 mAh battery that can be charged up to 50 per cent in 30 minutes, thanks to the 15-watt fast charging capability. The glass back also allows for Qi wireless charging
The Cameras of the Apple iPhone 8 Plus
For some time, the iPhone has been struggling against the onslaught brought about by the Google Pixel Lineup and the traditional rival, the Samsung Galaxy and Note lineups. Well, the iPhone 8 Plus 256 Gb was the attempt to bridge the difference.
This saw the inclusion of wide and telephoto sensors to the back camera of the phone, each 12 MP and the zoom lens offering up to 2X optical zoom. A 7 MP selfie shooter is included upfront but you will have to contend with digital zoom.
The rear cameras are capable of recording 4K video at 60fps while the selfie camera will support 1080p at 30fps. The great thing is, 256Gb is enough to store the large 4K videos you will be recording.
How To Buy
Here is a device that impresses greatly with its features, and you want to buy. Well, that is simple. First, you will need to join by creating an account. Fill in your shipping details or delivery options. This makes free shipping a simpler affair.
Next, you need to shop around for the model that you like. There are various ways to do this. You can use the search box to create a query of the brand of phones you want. You could sort by viewing the results to find the exact model that you want.
You could also use the search filter on the sidebar to find the smartphone you want rather than scouring across popular pages. You can as well find deals in various categories from here. You can specify display size, iOS version, whether unlocked, the storage capacity e.g 64Gb, mobile carrier, type of processor, and so much more.
Once you have the brand new device you want, just add it to the cart and proceed to the checkout page to pay for your device. If the device you want is sold out and the search feature is not helping, just check again in a few days.
