This phone is an alright phone. Build isnt the greatest, cracks easily. Calls are good, iOS is easy to use although the hardware couldnt support the software after iOS6 so it ran very slow. Camera is poor but UI is good. Everyday use is ok and battery was hopeless for me. Display pixellated at times.
- good calls
- safari and chrome are strong
- Music app is fantastic
- Text input good
- Easy to use UI
- Battery life poor
- Low resolution display
- Camera bad resolution
- Poor build, very weak phone
I got my iPhone 3GS in 2009 and it was a revolution for me, and december last year it was still working like a charm, only this year he start to slow down and bug the old iOS 6, the back was cracked and the original battery died, but for a 5 years phone is totally understandable.
Now this would be a suprise for people as it has horrible reception, camera,multimedia and its other bad stuff BUT it does have a good side like the internet speed,the call quality,UI speed,and its build quility
- UI speed
- Call quality
- building of it wow
- internet is a zoom of it
- battery
- Text
- Receptoin sucks as it is always 1-2 lines
- camera can be improved
- display has a bad pixel density (165?)
