Apple iPhone 4 Review

16 GB Verizon CDMA     See other variants reviews Score: 59.5 / 100

Apple iPhone 4 is a mid level iOS phone launched many years ago, which counts with a powerful processing unit ticking at 1000 MHz, a 3.5 inches multi-touch screen, and 2 cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.

The iPhone 4 comes with a great performance processing unit ticking at 1 gigahertz, bundled in the Apple A4 chip with 512 MB of RAM memory. A good point of this device is the 16 GB quite big internal memory and even though it doesn't have an external memory slot, it is enough to store hundreds of applications and games, although it might not be enough if you are fan of the largest games currently available or taking tons of pictures and videos.

This device is a combination of Glass and Aluminium, which gives a premium design and a better resistance. It appears that Apple forgot about optimizing the weight, releasing it with a 4.83 oz weight. Being just 0.37 inches thick,this cellphone is thin and stilized. Apple sells this device in two different colors, black and white.

This cellphone is equipped with a beautiful 3.5 inches display with a 960 x 640 resolution, which makes everything look completely perfect. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

The iPhone 4 includes wifi connection (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G internet connection, supported by EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone doesn't have a SIM card, because it isn't a GSM cellphone and it works in CDMA networks.

The iPhone 4 features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front facing camera. this phone's back facing camera has a F2.8 aperture so it has a lot of trouble taking clear pictures in poor lighting situations. It is capable of filming videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 fps. This cellphone also counts with some useful characteristics: auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.

This cellphone also features a couple of nice features as Bluetooth (enables communication with other phones and accessories) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone has a 1420 mAh mid capacity Li-Ion non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it even after moderate usage. Apple says this phone has a talk time of 7 hs and a stand by time of 300 hours. A key issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to lose capacity, leaving no choice but to buy a new cellphone or hopefully take it to someone who can open the phone and replace its battery.

The Apple iPhone 4 is not a good choice considering it is offerred for 289 dollars, and many similar phones are being sold much cheaper than that. No matter if you want it to play games or need a phone to majorly use social networks, you will definitely be very pleased with this cellphone.
