iPhone 11 vs. iPhone 8: Should you upgrade to a newer iPhone?
This is how much better the iPhone has gotten in two years
The iPhone 11 features an LCD screen, like the older iPhones, but they go by different names. Apple has dubbed the screen on the iPhone 11 a "Liquid Retina display," compared to the Retina display available on the iPhone 8. There's not really much of a difference: The iPhone 11 offers the same pixels per inch as the iPhone 8, and when we tested the displays, they turned in similar numbers for reproducing colors and, in the case of the iPhone 8 Plus, color accuracy. All three phones support True Tone, Apple’s technology for adjusting the display based on ambient lighting around it.
The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus both support 3D Touch; the iPhone 11 does not, turning to Haptic feedback where you can summon up shortcuts and other commands with a long press of the iPhone's screen. Considering that iOS 13 added support for long presses to all iPhones, losing 3D Touch support doesn't feel like that big a downgrade.
No, Liquid Retina offers better brightness and contrast ratio.
"Our test device also achieved a 1,920:1 contrast ratio in our tests, which is considerably higher than the iPhone 8 Plus."

Yes, I read that it has better brightness and contrast ratio as well. The Liquid Retina display is currently the pinnacle of Apples LCD IPS displays. In defence of the iPhone 8 Plus display is that it is 1080p, and the highest PPI (401) of all LCD iPhones to date (along with the 6, 6s and 7 plus models of course).
