What is a .3G2 file?

3G2 files are video files that may store mobile phone recordings, short clips, or multimedia messages captured on older cell phones. The files are saved in the 3GPP2 Multimedia format, which the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) developed for CDMA-based mobile networks. 3G2 files typically contain video encoded with MPEG-4 Part 2 or H.263 compression, along with audio encoded using AMR-NB, AAC, or QCELP, and may also include text or metadata.

You may encounter 3G2 files after transferring videos from an older CDMA mobile device to your computer. For example, early cell phone video clips, text message attachments, or short recordings captured on compatible devices may be saved as 3G2 files. These files were widely used in the 2000s for mobile video messaging and playback, but are less common on modern smartphones. File Viewer Plus lets you play your 3G2 files and convert them to MP4 format for improved compatibility with today's devices, media players, and editing software.
