Expert Review

5.5/10

Expert score

Design

5.8

This classic glass-and-aluminium design with a physical home button feels genuinely retro today.

Display

5.2

The small 4.7-inch LCD screen looks dim and clearly dated by 2026 smartphone standards.

Camera

5.5

A single 12MP camera lacks the low-light skill and versatility of much newer iPhones.

Performance

5

The A11 chip is significantly outdated and struggles to run current apps smoothly at all.

Battery

4.8

Its small, ageing battery rarely gets most users through even half a working day.

Value

4.5

Very cheap now overall, but it's effectively unsupported and unsuitable for genuine daily use.

Expert Conclusion

The iPhone 8, now available used for around ₹8,900, marks the end of Apple's classic home-button design era, and it genuinely shows its age throughout. This glass-and-aluminium design with a physical home button feels distinctly retro by 2026 standards, appealing mainly to nostalgic buyers. The small 4.7-inch LCD screen looks dim and clearly dated when compared with virtually any current smartphone display. A single 12MP camera lacks the low-light skill and versatility found on much newer iPhones released since. The A11 chip is significantly outdated and struggles to run current apps smoothly. Its small, ageing battery rarely gets most users through even half a working day, making it unsuitable for genuine daily use now.
