I don't know whether or not to get the iPhone X or the iPhone 8?

I'm getting one for my birthday, but I don't know which one to get. I like the X because of the screen, but I like the 8 plus because of the size and finger detection. Which one should I get?

Trac fone

I'd get the X if at all possible.

I don't see why you'd like a bigger phone but with a smaller screen vs a smaller phone but with a bigger display.
