Overall Rating
0.0
Pros
- +Noticeably faster performance ('S' for Speed), First iPhone with video recording, Digital compass with map auto-orientation, Voice Control for hands-free commands, Improved audio and loudspeaker quality
Cons
- −Identical design to the iPhone 3G, no visual novelty, Still no flash or hardware camera shutter key, Battery life remains a weak point, Only 3MP camera despite the upgrade
Expert Review
PhoneArena's user ratings placed the iPhone 3GS solidly on build quality and performance, while camera and display scored more modestly, and GSMArena's review found it a worthwhile performance and camera upgrade despite an unchanged design.
VERDICT
The best pick for buyers who wanted the iPhone 3G's design with meaningfully better speed, camera, and software features.
