srry for asking this, was torn between an 8+ and huawei p20pro, currently still with my 6plus, any insights on the camera performance between an 8+ with p20pro?
*
Solely camera performance? Then the P20 Pro.

how about we ignore the camera, lets say overall functions? 8+ then i guess? tongue.gif

That’s very subjective, haha. I personally prefer the simplicity and reliability of iOS, and I’m not a big fan of EMUI so I’d pick the 8 Plus, but the P20 Pro is an interesting prospect which I plan to try smile.gif

yes, i tried p10 before and not my taste...just wonder how p20 will do....gonna go and have a look and touch then... rclxm9.gif tq all for the reply  icon_rolleyes.gif

Yup, best way to know is to try smile.gif

I do agree with the post above though, the processing from the sample P20 Pro photos I’ve seen so far are a little aggressive and less natural, but it could also be a matter of taste and preference. Some people prefer the vibrant colours.

Yup. Brillian hardware, but software not up to par. Pixel 2 still king of camera.

Actually I don’t get the over-emphasis on cameras in today’s new phones. It’s like every other manufacturer is trying to one up the other in the camera department where else there are so many other features and functions that can be improved.

Because camera sells phone, for the common non tech savvy user, camera plays a huge part in their decision to buy phones. That's why brand like Oppo and Vivo can sell well even though their hardware and software is not up to par.
*
True, but that’s a little naive in my opinion smile.gif

Anyways most modern phones have very good cameras already, maybe just the low light shots are not on par compared to flagships. That said, most entry level and midrange phones are also improving the cameras these days smile.gif

I just bought iPhone 8 Plus RED 64GB and advise you guys to inspect carefully before leaving the shop/telco. Mine the back glass lifted a bit and can see the glue. If see normally cant detect it but must thoroughly check. So it's DOA, I get a new set.
*
How do you find the red of the 8 Plus? Upon looking at it closer in real life I think it’s a little dull compared to the red on the aluminium 7 Plus previously.

Yup more or less same here. Getting the best battery life from 11.3.1 compared to all previous versions.

For me personally not much difference between 11.3 vs 11.3.1 smile.gif

Yup not much but slightly better, since 11.3 was already good batt life, so it makes 11.3.1 the best till date.

There are some complaints on battery drain still on 11.3.1 - but mostly for older iPhones 7. Anyways, I wasn't planning to update my 8 Plus from 11.3 to 11.3.1, more like accidentally updated, ha ha. But glad there's no adverse effect on battery or performance.

Hi guys,

I am considering 8 plus 64GB.
However my friends suggested bigger storage as the constant upgrade firmware from Apple will quickly reduce my storage.

Beside, surfing, emails and not so much on photography, would a 64GB be adequate?

Thanks in advance.
*
64GB is sufficient. Have a colleague with a 4-year-old 64GB 6 Plus with over 1300 photos and still 15GB available.

Plus now that the opposition has won, I started a poll on Apple's prices.. on one side, our MYR will drop in the short term (offshore trading at RM4.07 today)and on the other, they did promise to abolish GST biggrin.gif

My thoughts exactly on the gst removal. Posted in the other thread. I’ll wait it out and see. Hehe.

Same here. The RM will weaken in the short term though, and that will probably factor in sooner than GST removal.
