The Apple iPhone 4 finally made it to India after having been announced nearly a year ago. The previous generations have enjoyed quite a bit of attention and needless to say, the community has been waiting eagerly for the handset to launch officially. Of course, it has been here, through ‘other’ means, so most Apple fans have already gotten comfortable with it and the scenario of getting Apple mobiles a bit earlier than when it officially launches. The iPhone 4 has been made available through two carriers – Aircel and Airtel. However, don’t fret, it’s also available unlocked through the same stores as well as Apple affiliated dealers like the Imagine and Maple stores as well as places like TATA’s Croma stores. ![]() iMovie will be handy for editing 720p video
This is the fourth-gen model and Apple has been constantly setting a standard for touchscreen smartphones and let’s face it, as good as the competition may be, they’re still playing catch-up to the overall UI experience. If you’re still in a quandary about buying the iPhone 4, my review below should help you make up your mind whether or not it’s worth spending the kind of money required. ![]() A secondary mic at the top to help suppress ambient sounds for voice clarity.

How We Test
The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.
Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.
Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.
Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.
Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
There are many other aspects of the product that are looked at such as the bundled software and accessories. All of these scores are aggregated together to form the final score.
What do the ratings mean?
Ratings are simple - higher the score, the better the product. A brief listing of the features and what they mean are given below.
1 - 3
The product is bad in almost every aspect. We strongly advise against purchasing this product.
4 - 6
An average product that isn't the best you can buy, but isn't the worst either.

We’ve already established that the Lumia 720 is Nokia’s best effort as far as Windows Phone 8 handsets go. This could soon change once the Lumia 925 hits markets, but as it stands now, the Lumia 720 offers the best blend of features and performance, wrapped in a beautiful package that’s quite affordable.
