The legend(iPhone) is back but this time it has simply gone more powerful than ever. The all new iPhone 4s is the 5th generation iPhone which is powered by 1 Ghz dual core Apple A5 processor which is the same processor used in the iPad 2. The graphics is 7 times better than the iPhone 4. iPhone 4s's dual core processor is what makes this device seriously fact. It runs an iOS 5.x.x (with updates coming frequently). One great feature of this device a voice recognizing software 'Siri'. To be, it's your virtual assistant who has answer to all your question . We has never seen any thing like this before .Also, iPhone 4s has a 8mp camera capable of 1080p HD video recording . Even the camera is very fast .It takes the friction of second to take a snap shot.With is its single LED flash , users don't have to worry about clicking photos in dark places.

Design
The design of the iPhone 4S is identical to the design of the iPhone 4. Surprisingly , even the iPhone 4s weights same as the iPhone 4 .The design is however very beautiful & attractive .Having a glass in its back makes it even more attractive .But the phone somewhat thick(9.8mm) in comparison to its rivals .In the front , we have a 3.5 inch retina display having a resolution of 960x480.On the top front, there is a front facing camera capable of 720p hd video recording . On the bottom of the screen, we have a physical back bottom. The left side of the device has a button which is use to toggle device to silent mode from general mode and vice versa. On the right, there is a physical volume rocker key.There is no dedicated camera shutter button. On the top, we have lock/power off button & we have dual speaker placed below along with the 32 pins USB connector use for charging & data transfer.
On the back of phone, we have a 8mp camera with the LED flash. There is also Apple logo on the back of the device. That's all about the design of this beast. It may not be the best of the best but it surely is good enough to catch one's eyes.
Display
As mention earlier , iPhone 4s has 3.5 inch display with pixel density of 330ppi. It has resolution of 640*960. Text is very good viewing the angles aren't bad either the only disappointing factor is that iPhone 4s still has a 3.5inch screen while most of the other smart phone has screen size larger than 4 inch. The iPhone 4s have capacitive touch screen with multi-touch.The amazing thing is that the phone can read all your five finger at a time. It may not really be usable but it sure is fun. Touches are very responsive and are almost always accurate. But if you have a big hand, you may have difficulty in typing in portrait mode. Apart from that, we had no problem with the display. We hopefully will get bigger screen in next generation of iPhone.Operating System ( iOS )
The iOS 5.x.x may not have homescreens and may not be as customizable as Android devices but the OS sure is fast and very responsive. We rarely get freezes or phone restarts. It is also not a power hungry operating system. The dual core processor for this phone is just more than enough. Application run smoothly on this device.
Camera
PHOTO
The iPhone 4s's camera is one of the best 8MP camera seen in a smartphone. The back facing 8MP clicks truly amazing photos. Also, beside the camera, there is a LED flash light for capuring photos in dark areas. It is packed will all camera goodies like Touch focus, geo-tagging,Face detection, HDR ,etc. Although, you don't get a dedicated camera shutter button, the on-screen shutter button isn't that bad either. The camera also autofocus when required. The Camera takes snapshots very quickly. You won't miss the moments that you want to capture. The camera talkes 1.1 second to take a photo initially and 0.5 seconds.The camera interface is pretty much the same as before with a few options added on the viewfinder - a viewfinder grid, an HDR setting, pinching gesture for digital zoom and swipe gesture for quick gallery access.VIDEO (CAMCORDER)
FRONT FACING CAMERA
The iPhone 4s's front facing camera is a VGA camera which can record 480p videos at 30 frames per second. The front facing camera is where iPhone 4s disappoints you. Even Samsung Galaxy S2 has 2MP front facing camera. If not 2 MP , 1.3 MP would be good too. Also, no HD video recording through your front facing camera. Further, you cannot video chat via 3G network. The video chatting is enabled only over Wi-Fi. These limitations hopefully will be removed in an update. Processor
The iPhone 4s uses the processor same as the iPad 2. It's a dual core 1 GHz Apple's A5 processor which pumps power to this beast. Unlike the earlier versions of the iPhone, the iPhone 4s's processor is very efficient and consumes very little battery except while playing games or using heavy applications. The dual core processor is what makes this device very fast. You won't face any lags.The GPU used in the iPhone 4s is PowerVR SGX543MP2 which has graphics 7 times better than the iPhone 4. The boot times have improved as well. Applications load up much faster. None of the games are choppy. All the Gameloft's HD games could be played without any glitches. Even the camera is a lot faster just because if this powerful processor.As iOS doesn't need much processing power, the dual core processor is what we are very much satisfied with.Siri
One of the major improvement of iPhone 4s over iPhone 4 or any other device is a Apple owed software called "Siri". It is a digital assistant who responses to your speech more or less like human. Honestly, this is the very first digital assistant who recognizes our speech very well and responds accordingly. It may not be usable for all ( People with no Wi-Fi, slow internet or people without recognizable accent) but it sure is a good way to input data. Fast and efficient, SIRI surely impressed us all. This exclusive software answers all your questions including mathematical solutions (2+2=4). This is a voice assistant to the next level. It may be good but still isn't 100% usable. It sometimes mis understands your input.Siri, to be honest isn't quite usable outside the U.S. because it can pin-point places and many other things only in the U.S. so, it sure has limitations. Still, it's a sweet feature to carry around with you.Battery
The iPhone 4s may not have largest of the battery like the Motorola Razr Maxx. It is packed with Li-Po 1432 mAh battery. Although it may sound a bit little to you all, iOS itself doesn't consume a lot of battery, so we can say that this device gives us decent battery back up. Not too good nor too disappointing when it comes to battery life. If you are a hardcore gamer, the battery is going to be drained very quickly else it will last for a day under normal usage. We hear some bugs about the battery life of iPhone 4s but they are being patched by Apple itself. We had expected a larger battery but this isn't too disappointing either.Here are the Pros and Cons of the iPhone 4s:
