The 3GP file format stores video and audio streams. It was developed to reduce storage, bandwidth, and data usage on 3G mobile phones. The 3GP format is based on the ISO base media file format standard. It supports video codecs like H.263 and H.264 and audio codecs like AMR-WB and AAC-LC. 3GP files are commonly shared between mobile devices that capture video. They may also play on some 2G and 4G phones. To open 3GP files on a computer, use programs like Windows Media Player, QuickTime, or VLC media player. The 3G2 format is very similar but made for CDMA phones. It has some differences from 3GP like additional features but also some limitations. Both formats save space compared to other container formats. But 3GP remains the standard for GSM networks while 3G2 is used on CDMA networks.
