packing list:

standard bundle includes 1x go 3s, 1x lens guard (pre-installed on the lens by default), 1x action pod, 1x magnet pendant, 1x pivot stand and 1x easy clip.
note: if you have a pacemaker, please do not wear go 3s on your chest or use the magnet pendant due to its magnetism.

what are the hardware upgrades in go 3s compared to go 3?

go 3s boasts a new high-performance processing chip that boosts cpu computing power by 50% and a new wide-angle lens, resulting in superior 4k image quality, improved usability, and more stable, smoother filming.

what image quality improvements does go 3s have compared to go 3?

go 3s features 4k resolution that represents a 99% increase in pixels compared to 2.7k resolution in go 3. go 3s also offers a higher maximum frame rate of 200fps and a bitrate increase to 120mbps. improvements in color accuracy, contrast, and dynamic range bring next-level image quality, and the new megaview fov minimizes edge distortion in ultra-wide angle footage.

(system should be android 10.0 or above or harmonyos 2.0.0 or above.)

note:
1. devices that do not meet the above requirements may still be able to use the app to control the camera. however, the performance of some processor-intensive and ai-powered features may be sub-optimal.
2. after testing, phones equipped with qualcomm sdm765 5g chips have poor hardware decoding capabilities and are not supported for use, such as oppo reno 3 5g.
3. app installation requires a mobile phone with a 64-bit system. a 32-bit system does not support app installation.
