iPhone 4 by armando-sanchez (Mar, 2012)Great camera, great music integration, fantastic clarity of the screen, and to me it's best quality is its size.
screen resolution
iPhone 4 by Pat (Aug, 2012)The retina display is seriously amazing, and I still haven't seen a phone that truly matches the crispness of this display.
iPhone 4 by GhenghisBTW, the display is the equivalent of a 960x640 on your desktop (double the 3G model) so what you see is essentially a high res yield and page loads are superfast.

processor
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)On paper, it may not stand up to the latest and greatest Android phone with 4G radios, a massive screen, and a screaming 1.5GHz dual-core CPU — but in use, it’s easily one of the most capable handsets on the market.
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)As I mentioned, the device utilizes the dual-core A5 CPU (the same as in the iPad 2), and based on spec monitoring software on the phone, it’s clocked at 800MHz.

iPhone 4 by G.-Lee (Mar, 2011)Higher megapixels do not correlate with higher quality images; although there are many other phones out there in the 8+ megapixel range, none match the overall image quality of the iPhone.
Performance Real world tests of Apple iPhone 4
cpu speed
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)As far as processor performance is concerned, the iPhone 4S isn’t kidding around… though don’t expect mind-blowing speed differences between this device and its predecessor.
iPhone 4 by Laraf (Apr, 2012)The iPhone 4S has a 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, which is also very fast (much faster than the single-core processor of the original iPhone 4 at least), but, though it provides great graphical acceleration, it yields to the CPU of the Galaxy S2 in terms of performance, so here the winner is Samsung's smartphone.
browser benchmark
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)The new phone scored a 2246.8 in SunSpider, while the original iPhone 4 clocked in at just 3591.3.
iPhone 4 by The Verge (Oct, 2011)Safari has been updated to include tabs in the iPad version, and is generally way faster on the iPhone 4S than pretty much any other mobile browser I’ve used.
download speed
iPhone 4 by Ghenghis (Jul, 2011)And BTW, I don't know if its due to network improvements or what but lately I'm getting 4Mbps download speeds so if anything I'm happier with my purchase now than I was 4 months ago.

iPhone 4 by Annerszz101 (Feb, 2012)It can now last up to seven hours of talk time, six hours of web browsing, and about three hundred hours of standby.
