What Is a 3GP File?
3GP is a slimmed-down relative of MP4 made for early mobile networks. Videos recorded on older phones and MMS clips are usually 3GP. 3GP is a container rather than a compression method — container for H.264 or MPEG-4 video with AAC or AMR audio. What is inside decides the quality.
