subject: The Amazing Iphone 4 - A Must Have Handset [print this page] The Apple iPhone 4 is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited mobile phone release of 2010. And looking at the specification, the designers have been certainly been working overtime to produce this phone, sporting a great new look and an arsenal of features.
Looking at the screen found on the iPhone 4, it is evident that it is the best you will find on any handset. The "Retina" display can produce an impressive 960 x 640 resolution, which eclipses the other competition available. The screen is LED backlit and shows an incredible 326 pixels per square inch, which is more than the human eye can actually detect. The black colours are naturally rich, and even the most text heavy web pages look crystal clear even when the screen is zoomed in. The iPhone 4 is capable of recording and playing back high definition video, which is perhaps where the "Retina" display comes in to its own, such footage looks clear and the screen reacts well to even the fastest moving image. The screen is the same size as the one found on previous models, however the actual handset has lost a few millimetres in depth and width, making the unit look more compact and eye catching.
Existing iPhone users will be pleased that many of features that stood out from previous models are still present on the iPhone 4. The homescreen layout is impressively simple and allows for an a pratically unlimited selection of apps to be added. The front of the phone still boasts the single home button and still looks modern. iTunes remains the best platform for downloading of a wide variety of music and applications. Alongside these are a bevy of new features that will make the user fall in love with the phone all other again. The camera facility has seen a big improvement. The iPhone 4 is capable of capturing high definition video. At a rate of 30 frames per seconds, the film is captured in 720P resolution, or in more simple term, High Definition. This camera is accompanied up by a secondary unit on the front of the handset. The main use of this camera is to allow "Face Time", video calls. Despite being around for a while now, Apples new found love for the system will inevitably spark new interest and could become one of the most used features on this latest model. The camera has been optimised to work at arms length, which also makes this camera great for self portraits as you can see the desired photograph on the screen.
Apple seem to have pulled out all of the stops with the iPhone 4. A wide range of exciting new models are due to be released this summer, including the Nokia N8 and the HTC Wildfire, but it seems that the iPhone 4 has the technology and design to set the pace in this particular smartphone race.
