 |
Apple iPhone 3GS announced in June 2009 has a 3.5 inch TFT screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. The phone measures 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm and weighs 135 grams. iPhone 3GS’ screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass and oleophobic coating. The phone is powered by the Cortex A8 processor ticking over at 600 MHz and supported by 256 MB of RAM. iPhone 3GS is offered with 8, 16 or 32 GB internal storage. There’s a 3.15 MP camera on the back with autofocus and geo-tagging. The Li-Ion battery gives you up to 5 hours talk time on 3G and up to 12 hours on 2G networks. As far as the design, iPhone 3GS has rounded plastic back with chrome accent. The device feels and looks solid. Below the 3.5 inch screen is positioned the only physical button – HOME. Up top, you can find the power button and the 3.5 mm audio jack. In terms of performance, there are many Android devices from the same year, having better specs on paper. However, due to its well optimized iOS, iPhone 3GS is smooth and very responsive. The phone was announced with iOS 3.0, but now it can be upgradable up to version 5.1 which is much better. |
