Took some more photos today. 
And yes, I have a cat too! Took me quite some attempts to actually get a good photo using Portrait mode. I added some of those that failed in the spoiler all the way down.
ISO 1250, 1/50
ISO 1250, 1/50
ISO 100, 1/5
Also did a test with low-light performance on my room. Made a photo of my Apple TV remote with both iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 7. Impressed with the difference! Results in spoiler.

There's this bit of blur between her neck and back. Otherwise it would've been the perfect picture.
Should be obvious here how this one failed.

I can't believe how oversaturated the new iPhone photos look now. It seems like Samsung is heading to the more natural look now but at least the option is there for this oversaturated look in HDR Rich mode on the Note 8 and S8 plus.

Jealous you have mini!
It's my parent's car, but I found it too perfect to not make a photo of it.
8 Plus
Taken while I was visiting in Saint Louis. Still amazed at how well this picture came out at night. No flash.
No samsung still gives more saturated pictures. On a sunny day green grass looks neon green, way to saturated compared to iPhone 8.

Of the two of the Apple TV remote, which one is the correct color (the table) ?
Good question actually! Neither one of them shows the correct color, however the one made with iPhone 8 Plus comes closer to it than the one made with iPhone 7 does. Reason why they both don't show the right color is simply because the only lights that were on in my room were that of my MacBook Pro (at 50% brightness) and my tv. So in real life, the colors aren't accurate either of course.
Too true, in all the tests I have done with Portrait Mode, the masking has been applied in quite nasty ways, removing all the fine hair details every time. At least Apple are consistent!

The rest of these are taken using the wide-angle lens.
Am i the only one who sees the limit of 12MP? Even on when watching on the phone..
Are you viewing the actual images at full size, or compressed for interwebz sharing?
It's a bit of an urban myth that more MP's = better images. I have seen images from old full-frame cameras that were only 8MP and they blow out of the water many modern cameras with 24MP!
I didn’t say Apple didn’t maximize the MP to make the best of it, i’m just wondering whether in today’s 4K environment our eyes got used to clearer images.
I never view photographs on a TV, always a monitor that's regularly (weekly) colour and light balanced, or my 8+ if I'm out and about, so I'm not qualified to comment on it really, as I have no experience in this regard.
I would think that viewing photographs on a 4K TV would be oversaturated to start off with, sort of like how I found viewing photographs on the Samsung S8, but a lot of people love the boosted saturation and vibrancy it presents.
Honestly i don’t really care for higher MP,
It’s just that i see many pictures here not really sharp and i wondered about it.
They are probably taken with the inbuilt camera app and are compressed jpegs, straight from camera. When the 8 plus, I can only talk about that, as it's what I have, is used with a third party camera app and the images are saved as RAW files, it's very good for a sensor that's less than a third of an inch square.
I think a lot of it comes down to peoples techniques. Some people are as wobbly as, when they hit that shutter button on the screen so hard. The third party app I use, I have set up to take an image when I remove my finger from the screen after locking focus and exposure.
You could always go one further and work from a tripod, using your headphones and triggering the shutter with the volume up button for the absolute best stability possible. Quite a few famous mobile phone photographers do this all the time.
I guess the reason why it doesn't appear sharp when you zoom in, is because the original photos are often too large to upload here. Like with these two pictures I've taken with the 8, unedited.
