iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 Speed Test!

2012-09-22
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the speed test between the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy s3 has arguably the two best phones out there right now let's see which is fastest my first test is of the iPhone 5 on Verizon LTE as the big new edition you can expect speeds of over 13 megabits per second down and 4 megabits per second up and generally much higher unfortunately I can't demo the galaxy s3 for you but both phones are fully capable of awesome speeds next step we have Geekbench which takes a look at the overall performance of each phone one interesting note while both are dual-core the galaxy s3 typically runs at 1.5 gigahertz the iPhone 5 fluctuated between 800 megahertz and 1.2 gigahertz depending on the load the Geekbench cores were fairly close with the galaxy s3 pulling in a total of 1422 points and the iPhone 5 with 1648 still a win as a win moving on we have SunSpider which is a javascript test for the browsers this will give you an idea of the CPU performance as well as how some heavier sites are handled Safari has improved in iOS 6 and does quite well here against Chrome although neither half bad at all the lower the score the better and the iPhone 5 - the clear winner with less than half the time taking compared to the galaxy s3 now we have geo benchmark this is all about testing the graphical performance and games with a complex run through the egypt benchmark and as you can see there's really no contest the iPhone 5 is able to consistently run it smoother and bumps against the vsync quite often or the galaxy s3 struggles a bit as the iPhone has fewer pixels to push I reran the test in the off screen mode with both phones rendering at 1080p an iPhone managed almost double the frame rate with a score rivaling the iPad 3 even with jelly bean which most galaxy s3 models are lacking right now there's no denying that the iPhone 5 has some serious firepower of course specs aren't everything so let me know in the comments below which you would pick and why if you enjoyed be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more iPhone 5 videos like this be sure to subscribe
