Is it worth buying a used iPhone 8?

The current market price for a used iPhone 8 ranges from 10 to 12 million dong, with the 64GB version being the cheapest, around 10 million dong. Despite being on the market for only a year, used devices are still relatively new, prompting many to consider purchasing a used iPhone 8 instead of newer Android smartphones. However, is this truly an excellent choice for users?

Compared to the iPhone X and previous iPhone generations, the iPhone 8 boasts several advantages such as:

- The used iPhone 8 features a distinct design compared to previous iPhone generations (from iPhone 5 to iPhone 7). Unlike aluminum which easily chips, the iPhone 8 is designed with durable glass on both the front and back, capable of changing hues when tilted in light for a visually stunning effect.

The iPhone 8, despite being released just a year ago, will continue to receive support from Apple for bug fixes and software updates for at least another 5 years, ensuring users can comfortably use it without worrying about becoming outdated.

Unlike other smartphones, when Apple releases a new software update, both the older iPhone 8 and iPhones in general will almost immediately receive the update.

The iPhone 8 boasts a luxurious and durable design with its two-sided glass construction. Additionally, this design feature allows for the inclusion of wireless charging, a feature previously unseen in iPhones.

Sporting a large 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, the iPhone 8 offers a visually stunning experience.

With 3GB of RAM and the Apple A11 Bionic chip, the iPhone 8 stands as one of the most powerful smartphones currently available, boasting an Antutu score of 230,000—far surpassing the iPhone 7's score of just 170,000. Furthermore, even the base model of the iPhone 8 comes with 64GB of storage, providing users ample space for storing data, photos, videos, documents, and more.

The dual-camera setup of the iPhone 8 features a wide-angle lens with an f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization combined with a 12 MP sensor, and a telephoto lens for zooming capabilities. Rated by the most reputable camera evaluation site DxOMark, the iPhone 8's camera achieves an impressive score of 94 out of 100.

Unlike the iPhone X, which removed the Home button and adopted Face ID, the older iPhone 8 still retains the Home button and Touch ID for security. There are mixed opinions about the security of Face ID on the iPhone X, such as confusion between identical twins or difficulties when wearing glasses or masks. Compared to Face ID, Touch ID remains one of the safest and most convenient phone security features available.

Furthermore, the older iPhone 8 also integrates some new features such as augmented reality (AR).

Compared to both its price point and other phones on the market, the iPhone 8 remains a fantastic choice for users.
