When comparing smart devices it’s always smart to do your research first and reading up on the latest news. Today we go over certain hardware features such as processor speeds, ram and what operating system the smart devices run on.

Design

Always trying to achieve the best personal experience, Apple has managed to bring a revolution in the smartphone design ever since the release of the first generation of the iPhone. Continuing the trend with the Apple iPhone 4s, the company has made the device not only sleek and stylish but easy to grip and use with one hand. Feeling natural to grip, the device is 4.54 x 2.31 x 0.37 inches in size and weighs only 140 grams.

Specifications

Even though the device has been released over 3 years ago, its specifications are powerful enough to let the Apple iPhone 4S compete with almost any mid-ranged smartphone on the mobile market today. The device features a powerful Dual-Core 1GHZ Cortex-A9 processors, backed up by a PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU, 512 MB of RAM and the Apple A5 chipset. Moreover, as the smartphone is upgradable to the newest version of the mobile iOS 7.1, you will be able to run almost any app on the iTunes market including many high-end mobile games.

Display & Camera

What some might consider as a bit of a setback, compared to today’s devices is the 3.5 inch screen of the Apple iPhone 4S. However, despite its panel, with the overall pixel density of the LED-backlit IPS being about 330 ppi making the resolution size of the display as much as 640 x 960 and due to the high contrast and brightness settings making the device visible under any lighting conditions, you will be able to truly have a perfect multimedia experience. Moreover it’s camera is perfect even compared to most of the smartphones on the mobile market today, as it is not only 8MP in size, but lets you capture unique HDR photos and record videos at 1080p and 30FPS with video stabilization.

Battery Life

One of the small setbacks of the device is its non-removable Li-Po 1432 mAh battery. When extensively used the Apple iPhone 4S has an overall battery life of only about 5 hours. Moreover it gives you only about 8 hours of talk time, 200 hours in standby mode and about 40 hours of music playback. However, with ton of battery accessories available at cheap prices you will be able to use your device as long as you need even during long trips and more.

Overall

With its powerful camera, decent display and powerful hardware capabilities, the Apple iPhone 4S is a worthy opponent of any mid-range smart device on the mobile market today. Although it has been released over 3 years ago and its battery life is a bit of a setback, the device is nonetheless worth its bargain price tag and as it even supports iOS 7.1 and most of the latest applications and high-end mobile games, the smartphone is definitely worth purchasing today.
