The 3GP file format and its associated filename extension .3gp is an audio, video, and text container developed by the 3rd generation partnership project. The target market for the 3gp file format is 3G enabled UMTS mobile phones through associated UMTS multimedia services. Though mobile devices operating on high speed networks are the intended hardware associated with playing .3gp files, many PC codec packs exist which grant compatibility for .3gp playback. The format has a basic profile in which files of this format do not reference any external media sources and support for audio, video, and text is limited to a single track.
Originally being developed by a Third Generation Partnership Project II, it's used in the third generation mobile phones, 3g2 is basically used as an audio as well as video file format. It is a relatively similar file format to 3gp with some advancements as well as limitations. Specifically, the 3g2 format is for CDMA based mobile phones rather than GSM-based phones, this format is used in fourth generation phones as well. Basically, it is for video viewing, it is also used for transferring photos and videos through the internet. Based on the standards of MPEG-4, it is developed in the light to play the media and to deliver it through the internet connection over high speed.

The 3gp format is standardized in the ETSI technical specification in which support for it is implied in IMS, MMS, PSS, and MBMS carrier services. The format is based upon the ISO/IEC 14496-12-MPEG-4 part 12 standard. As such, video streams in the 3gp format can be encoded in mpeg-4 part 2 or mpeg-4 part 10. Audio streams can be encoded in AMR- narrow band, AMR-wide band, AAC-LC and others.
3g2 format has a contrasting similarity with MP-4 and is a more simplified version of the complex MPEG-4. It is actually designed to accommodate in the cellular phones, its bandwidth requirements are reduced in order to reduce the storage required. It stores and streams the videos and audios as done by the 3gP format. However, the audio streams that are stored by the 3g2, are in the extensions such as EVRC-B, SMV, EVRC-WB, VMR-WB, EVRC, 13k or QCELP.
