hey youtube today we're going to be taking a closer look at the brand new iPhone 5 versus the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 both are fresh on the market and features the latest generation of Android 4.1 jelly bean and we have iOS 6 here on the left obviously Android devices have become extremely popular due to their customisable nature and this device is no exception whereas with an Apple iOS device we are somewhat limited to basically what is nothing more than a simple app drawer similar notifications can be found on both devices but basically what really makes them different is that we're looking at a 4-inch screen here with an 11 36 by 640 resolution versus a 5.5 inch 1280 by 720 panel so 4 inches versus 5.5 obviously the iPhone affords the user significantly better one-handed operation one-handed typing and things of that nature making it a very pocketable and portable device it is extremely fluid iOS is a really polished operating system hundreds of thousands of apps it was the leader initially but many people consider Android to be a more advanced and more customizable operating system though for people that prefer simplicity and some better software integration iOS and iTunes does afford the user a more simplistic and controlled or walled garden type approach while whereas with Android if we wanted to customize certain different things like the sizing of apps or widgets move them around we are capable of doing that additional differences aside from size include the fact that the Galaxy Note obviously has the S Pen which enables the user to create notes and to do doodling to capture screenshots and to do other things of a more creative nature otherwise on the rear both feature 8 megapixel cameras capable of 1080p video capture 30 frames a second or extremely high quality stills particularly in bright light we really have to hand it through Apple the the new image sensor that they've incorporated is substantially better at low-light situations than the iPhone 4s and this essentially contains the similar same camera that was in the samsung galaxy three and a slightly improved version over what was in galaxy s2 otherwise the display technology on both differs we have an IPS LCD here on the iPhone it is really really good at accurate color reproduction but the AMOLED display on the galaxy note 2 is also extremely good as we can see here just bringing up videos we have really really rich vivid color spectrum but for some it might be a little too saturated obviously in terms of one-handed portability you really do need to incorporate the usage of two hands when it comes to typing or just overall usage of the device itself but we can see that both are extremely polished and fluid obviously web browsing here is finally on par with what we would i OS and apple device owners have had for quite some time this is the latest version of Android Android 4.1 the only other device on the market to currently have that is obviously the Galaxy Nexus which is a Nexus device that gets updates directly from google otherwise we have a beautiful sort of exhort on the edge titanium gray the devices construction is primarily plastic with a little bit of metal hidden underneath the exterior housing otherwise we have a two point excuse me a 1.9 megapixel camera on the front here for the Galaxy Note and with the Apple iPhone we have a 1.3 both are capable of HD or 720p video capture for Skype or FaceTime of the equivalent obviously in Apple iOS but yeah the iOS operating system obviously is very basic so for those looking for something a little more simple something more portable and potentially more durable due to as high quality construction maybe this is the device to get you can't help me now so this is just a closer look at the Galaxy Note 2 versus the iPhone 5 both are obviously completely different products different operating systems from different manufacturers but we thought you guys would be curious to know just in terms of their size will let you judge for yourself but obviously they are substantially different this one being from a phablet category a category pioneered by Samsung with the original Galaxy Note and this is obviously the most convenient size being at four inches you still have access to the whole screen from one hand so here we are taking a closer look at the benchmarks of the Apple iPhone 5 the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 both are extremely powerful containing the latest generation processing technologies they do contain reference designs from armed Apple actually licensed it and created their own a6 processor it is clocked at 1.3 gigahertz whereas the Galaxy Note 2 is clocked at 1.6 gigahertz so let's run the benchmarks this is both Geekbench 2 and let's see how they do this is the dual-core versus a quad-core this is the 2 gigabytes of RAM for the Galaxy Note 2 and we have one gigabyte around for the iPhone android do 2 is highly customizable nature does run higher in terms of RAM consumption pretty much for all high-end devices now if 2 gigabytes is going to be the standard all right so the iPhone finish first so we have 1624 for the iPhone versus 1962 for the Galaxy Note 2 so for running one benchmark is synthetic benchmark mind you the Galaxy Note 2 does have more processing power in terms of the raw numbers where does it really punch well the memory is more efficient on the iPhone which makes sense because they prioritize the GUI so that it runs absolutely fluid at all times so it likely contains faster memory for the galaxy note though the floating-point in terms of how quickly can process calculations on the fly is going to be at 31 1 6 vs 2 1 1 4 for the iPhone so the Galaxy Note 2 wins there and also yeah either way both are extremely fluid fast devices just roping up a web browser here for example we can see obviously iPhone runs extremely fluid and the Galaxy Note 2 is no slouch Eldar I would say that they are almost completely identical actually obviously some minor GUI differences in terms of being able to pinch out a little bit so that's the benchmark I would say that they're on par in terms of running something let's say like a camera for example let's just bring it up really quickly okay it's really hard to do this together we just have the s-pen from the galaxy note here so let's try and focus and see which one can capture quicker okay so it looks like the Galaxy Note 2 is actually faster capturing in terms of the clarity let's just see no this one okay so it looks like the iPhone actually it was capable of capturing although it was slower the iPhone was capable of capturing more accurate higher resolution pictures even though it was slower we'll run a couple more tests on the camera in the next one just to see how it does but basically both are extremely powerful Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has a little high resolution at 1280 by 720 versus 11:36 by 640 so it does have to calculate a bit more on the fly but and also we have widgets and stuff and a whole bunch more going on so yeah that's the benchmarks of the Galaxy Note 2 versus Apple iPhone 5 so my name is Ursula cuvee we're here with Android authority we're taking a closer look at the Galaxy Note 2 versus the Apple iPhone 5 let us know what you think of the devices below and don't forget to subscribe to our Channel
