While there are advantages and disadvantages to each device, there isn't a clear cut winner for this comparison. The iPhone 4S wins when it comes to design appeal, portability, screen resolution, and maximum memory capacity, but the screen is smaller than the Galaxy S II devices, and it doesn't support... More

You can’t go wrong with any of these handsets, but the choice will be much easier if you know beforehand which mobile OS you are leaning to – the simpler and polished iOS, or the more  flexible Android.

If you somehow don’t mind paying a huge premium right now, or simply have an unlimited cash flow, we definitely recommend checking out the Motorola DROID BIONIC because it’s seriously the most future-proof device out of the three. Yes, it’s priced significantly higher, but you’re... More

The Apple iPhone 4S may not have a brand-new design or some of the features that other top-tier smartphones do these days (such as a larger screen or 4G connectivity), but it does offer what is arguably the best smartphone experience of any device on the market now. It improves upon the massively successful... More

The iPhone 4S is every bit a smartphone, and an excellent one at that. The range of functionality that it delivers, along with the entire ecosystem that it inhabits, still make it one of the best phones on the market. Apple has done an excellent job pushing things like the App Store and incorporating... More

Unless you’re a diehard fan of the iPhone and have an unlimited stash of moolah lying around waiting to be used, or simply have an upgrade available, there’s no denying that you’ll find the iPhone 4S as the most amazing one yet. Sure we love its faster dual-core processor and improved... More

The iPhone 4S is blazing fast on the new dual-core CPU and graphics chip. And by the way, this is a long-term asset - new apps and services will take advantage and they'll be exclusive to the 4S. The iPhone is finally up there with the industry's finest cameraphones too. In fact, it may well have the... More

To sum it all up, the Apple iPhone 4S is one of the best phones out in the market today, with a massive variety of apps and third-party developer support, a familiar industrial design that still works, and improved hardware to a year-old phone that was already great.

Now the big debate is if it is worth... More

With respect to the performance metrics that count, the iPhone 4S does well. It's the best iPhone for making voice calls yet, showed strong signal and network performance thanks to the fully redesigned antenna, and still has one of the best displays of any phone (though it might be too small for some).... More

Is the iPhone 4S the best smartphone on the planet? That’s very much debatable. Sure it doesn’t have widgets and the customization that you’d get from an Android device and yes iOS feels a bit old school at times. But at the end of the day the device does a lot of things well and Siri... More

The iPhone is perfect for those wanting the most seamless, hassle-free, simplified smartphone experience out there.

It's currently the most powerful and also has the best photo and video quality of any smartphone. It's also backed by iTunes and the App Store with over half a million apps - no rival can beat this combination currently. If you have deep pockets, the iPhone 4S won't disappoint.

The camera, processor and antenna are all well-needed improvements. And Siri is eccentric genius, if a little before its time. However, the fact that you can upgrade your old iPhone 4 with a smorgasbord of brand new features for free, with iOS 5 and iCloud, will undoubtedly put many off upgrading... More

The iPhone 4S comes at a time when most iPhone 3GS users are coming up for their wireless service renewal. The iPhone 4S isn’t just impressive to an iPhone 3GS owner, it blows the doors off almost any Android alternative (I’d say all, but then I’d fear for my survival), and if you’re... More

Safari loads pages on my 4S faster than it does on my 2010 Macbook. Google Maps popped up with my location in no time flat. Plenty of games played, if anything, too speedily. All kinds of annoying delays that seemed part of smartphone life, such as syncing or waiting for the camera to switch to a... More

After all the rumors, speculation and outright fanboy fantasies preceding the launch of the mythical “iPhone 5,” it’s easy to see what ended up being called the iPhone 4S as a disappointment. No LTE. No bigger screen. No slimmer shape. But if taking one of the best-selling smartphones... More

The first question is hard to answer. If you're into iOS, have a wealth of App Store purchases you'd like to keep using and in general are down with the Apple ecosystem then, yes, this is the best phone out there. If, however, you've been shopping around, or are already tight with Android, Windows... More

Even without 4G and a giant screen, this phone's smart(ass) voice assistant, Siri, the benefits of iOS 5, and its spectacular camera make it a top choice for anyone ready to upgrade.
For the first time since the iPhone was born four years ago, a new model didn't arrive in June this year. The wait... More

With the new internals in the iPhone 4S, “you really see it scream… in games”.
The improved performance in the iPhone 4S doesn’t come at the expense of battery life, according to Apple. For the first time on an iPhone, you can expect eight hours of talk time on 3G, 14 hours... More
