iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X Comparison
Display : The iPhone 8 Plus has a smaller display (5.5 inches, IPS) than the iPhone X (5.8 inches, Super AMOLED). In addition, the X has a higher screen resolution as well, so all in all, you have a better display on it. That does not mean the iPhone 8 Plus display is bad. Far from it. It is a great display. The X is just better.
Size And Design : While the iPhone 8 Plus has the smaller display of the two, it is bigger than the X. It is taller and wider. The reason for this is clear: the iPhone 8 Plus has the traditional iPhone design, with a Home button that houses the fingerprint scanner. The iPhone X has an edge-to-edge display and has no Home button. Of course, the iPhone X is the better looking of the two devices.
Biometrics : The iPhone X has only Face ID, but no fingerprint scanner, while the 8 Plus has the traditional iPhone front-mounted fingerprint scanner. Does iPhone 8 Plus have Face ID? No; it does not have Face ID.
Battery : The X also has a slightly larger battery capacity – 2716 mAh, while the Apple iPhone 8 Plus has a 2691 mAh battery. But this might not be the advantage you think it is, when you remember that the display of the iPhone X is slightly bigger and packs more pixels, and so drains more power than the display of the iPhone 8 Plus. Reviewers say that the iPhone 8 Plus has the better battery life of the two.
iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X: Which is bigger, iPhone X or iPhone 8 Plus?
iPhone 8 Plus is the bigger of the two devices.
iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X: Which has a better camera, iPhone X or iPhone 8 Plus?
Both devices were released at the same time and use the same camera modules, so performance is actually similar. However, there is a distinction: the iPhone X has optical image stabilization (OIS) for both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses, wile the iPhone 8 Plus has it for only the wide-angle lens. Its telephoto lens does not have OIS. At the end of the day, the iPhone X is better for all-round photography.
iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X: Is iPhone X better than 8 plus?
The iPhone X has a batter display, better camera, and better design than the 8 Plus. Pound for pound, the iPhone X is generally the better phone, unless you really must have Touch ID (fingerprint scanner), battery life is really important to you, or budget is a constraint.
iPhone 8 Plus vs iPhone X: Last Words
Apart from cost, Touch ID, cost is likely the only other reason why you will opt for iPhone 8 Plus over iPhone X.

Once again, Google has given me a reason to love the latest version of Android. If you have a phone call recording app installed on your phone, it will not work if you upgrade to Android 9. And I am ecstatic about it. Why?
Early this year, I received an audio message on WhatsApp from a friend. Listening to it, I was shocked to find out that the sound from the audio sent to me was my own voice. A conversation I had was recorded and saved without my permission.
There are lots of 3rd party phone call recorder apps that are available for download and use. The worst part is that the recording can often be done without the knowledge of the other party. That is totally not right, so you can understand my joy when I found out that Google has killed the popular call recording feature and this is all to improve user privacy for Android users.
The developers of one phone call recorder app, Call Recorder – ACR, released a statement saying, “We would like to inform our users that there will be no call recording workaround on Android 9 and above. No call recording app will be able to do so.”
Legal Issues With Call Recording
Even though this part of the world has given no say to call recordings, it has been banned in several countries. It is also illegal in many places to record conversations without the consent of the other party. I really can’t say why Google brought back call recording to its version as it was first removed in Android Marshmallow.
Is This The End Of Phone Call Recording Apps?
Perhaps. Perhaps not. App developers may still find another workaround, or Google might change their minds and reverse the policy, maybe with more stringent requirements. Or Google might go ahead and build one that meets legal/ethical requirements into Android OS. We shall see.
Have you ever used a phone call recording app? What did you use it for? Has someone ever recorded your phone conversation without your knowledge? How did that go? What do you think of this development? Do share your experiences and opinions with us.
