Just saw SuperSaf's camera test comparison between the iPhone 8 Plus and the Note 8.

The Note 8 looked better to me in majority of the tests. And the mic on the iPhone is pretty bad.

What do you guys think?

I have not been impressed with iPhone cameras but that may have to do with the lackluster screens they use. I'm also not critical either because if I'm planning on taking pictures then I use my DSLR camera. Now I will say that I'm overly impressed with the note 8 low light performance. I was outside and thought I'd test it out with the kids playing and it was almost nighttime. The pictures were misleading when I looked at them. They were so much brighter then it actually was. I also noticed a noticable level of improved detail compared with my iPhone 7 plus. Not sure why though.

This is with my wife's iPhone 8 plus. Just messed around a little bit. The portrait lighting is pretty cool, much better than I thought. Both look really good with each having pros and cons.

I watched the video after my comment above and I was also impressed by some of the iPhone shots.

It really depends on which comparison you watch. Some have the iPhone 8 plus beating the Note 8. It goes back and forth.

I preferred the iPhone's front camera in the video. The colour on the rear camera seemed a little nicer too with the Note looking to have a slight yellow hue which you'd expect from the iPhone and not the Note. The iPhone X vs Note 8 camera comparison will be very interesting.
The iPhone's Portrait Lighting is really cool too

They haven't even tested the S8 either and look how long it's been out. DXO facebook people are leaving them because they seem to favor Apple these days. And how in their own tests can they have better pictures than the PIXEL but when you look at the pictures the Pixel pictures are actually better! Makes no sense and is a reason to not trust DXO any longer.

The Note 8 did better in most comparisons, by far. The iPhone 8 Plus is better with 4K video at 60fps and slow mo at 260fps, but meh.

I was thinking about picking up an iPhone 8 Plus as a second phone, but now I don't want one.

Your second video it is obvious that OIS is turned off. Probably Apple fanboys posting videos trying to make the iPhone look better now.
lol That's like me saying Supersaf did everything he can to make the iPhone 8 look bad.
