what's up YouTube Jays two cents here and as I promised I've got my galaxy s3 brand-new back from Verizon so I'm going to do a no-holds-barred head-to-head hand hand combat of the galaxy s3 versus the iPhone 5 and we're going to find out which one deserves a spot in your pocket getting started here we'll go ahead and take a look at some of the dimensions of the phone the Galaxy s3 features a 4.8 inch screen it's a 1280 pixel by 720 given a native 720p resolution the iPhone 5 on the other hand is featuring a 4-inch screen with an 1100 and 36 by 640 resolution which is giving it a natural 16.9 aspect ratio but it's a funky doesn't really equate to any standard when it comes to resolution but either way it's packing 326 pixels per inch versus the Samsung's 306 pixels per inch however I have to say that when you look at these up close you can't really see a difference the iPhone 5 is coming in at seven point six millimeters thin and the galaxy s3 is coming in at eight point six millimeters thin we're only talking one millimetres of difference here although the galaxy does feel a little thinner in your hand because of the rounded edges as well as the fact that it's a bit wider go ahead and power these bad boys on here on the count of three and see which one boots faster one two three all right so as you can see the iPhone 5 is already booted and set the lock screen however the galaxy s3 is still sitting there showing us some of the 4G radio waves and blah blah blah hey I've got a new subscriber let's go and give this new subscriber a shout-out shall we oh there's a few of you well we'll go ahead and give oh my god Joe root Korn found in chat Aviles Wow okay well you get a shout out sir because you subscribed in the middle of this video congratulations and text messages I'm a popular guy oh my god how's a guy supposed to do it an iPhone versus galaxy review and they're all tweeting and whistling and emailing and notifications and blah blah blah blah blah anyway the galaxy's lockscreen you've got quite a few different options here you've got a pattern unlock you've got a pin unlock you've got us swipe to unlock or a slide it across your table to unlock out it's all the same the iPhone in the other hand you get two options you get the slide to unlock and you can either use a pin or a passcode and that's it there are no patterns or anything if you want to do any of that stuff you've got to do a jailbreak and this video is not about Joe breaking this is about head-to-head Android 4.0 for Ice Cream Sandwich which is a little bit old but Verizon slow on getting with program versus iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 well we'll go ahead and do here as both of these phones are currently on Wi-Fi so we will go ahead and do a speed test comparison on both of these we'll go ahead and start with the galaxy s3 and let's see how they do okay so the galaxy came in at a twenty eight ping a twenty point two three megabits per second download speed any seven point seven two megabits per second upload speed I have a problem with this test and here's why my Wi-Fi is captain five megabits upload speed so how in the hell is it getting two point seven two megabits faster than my Wi-Fi is allowing I don't get it I don't trust that test it's been happening all day I don't know what the problem is there can't figure it out but I don't trust those numbers on that upload it's not accurate iPhone 5 here we go alright so here we go the iPhone 5 is done we got a 25 ping a 26.93 megabits down any 4.88 up that up is a little more what I expected to see with my cap on my Wi-Fi but it looks like we're getting a little bit more download speed I don't know if it just has to do with antenna 2 configuration of the phones or if the modem is simply better than the iPhone 5 but I've ran this test over and over over the last 24 hours and the iPhone is consistently faster on Wi-Fi than the galaxy let's go ahead and put these bad boys on some 4G I am in a very strong 4G area so it should be a pretty good test and we will come back with some results okay so we've got 4G LTE loaded up on both of these devices we'll go ahead and start these at the same time on the count of three and one two three okay so it took the Galaxy s3 a little bit longer to complete that test but again there's some interesting numbers here that I want to point out both of these are connecting to the exact same tower through the same cellular service it's Bryson's LTE 4G and they are connecting to the exact same test server yet I'm getting 109 millisecond ping on the galaxy versus 836 millisecond ping on the iPhone speeds are pretty close at 4.03 down on the galaxy and a four point five eight down on the iPhone however the upload is only one point three four in the galaxy versus a three point two seven on the iPhone kind of funny that I was just bragging that I'm in a strong 4G area yet these are some of the lowest numbers that I've seen alright so as you might expect the home screens on both of these devices are significantly different from each other you've got Android that is all about open source and you know customisation of widgets and multiple screens and being able to customize and add all the panels you want if you want to remove a screen you simply take it and drag it into the trashcan and that's it it's gone if you want to add a screen you hit the plus sign it's very intuitive it's very easy to use it Scrolls very nicely very smooth the iPhone on the other hand you're still stuck on icons in iOS 5 they added the Notification Center as you can see here however you know you get the weather widget there's a stock widget there's a couple of other widgets that you can add in there but they're very small they're not really nothing like Android you can't place them on the home screen whether visible you've always got to do the pulldown one other thing I'd like to show you here is that if I was to swipe this I can get rid of the email right away no problem but on the iPhone if I want to get rid of a particular notification I can't do that I have to either get rid of all of them or none by clicking that little X and hitting clear and they're all gone nothing I can do about it so not really too happy about that when it comes to iOS it does feel a little bit archaic or old maybe a little antique II I don't know why iPhone and Apple are just waiting so long to jump on to the widgets bandwagon I think it's very I think it's cool why not be able to customize your screen and make your phone tailored more to you that's holding back iPhone as far as I'm concerned and Android definitely wins when it comes to the UI layout because Android is just all about turning the phone into your phone one other thing I really like about the Android layout versus the iPhone is if you pull down this tab here you've got the connection status bar at the top so you can turn on and off Bluetooth Wi-Fi you can turn off your data airplane mode you can go into power saving mode all sorts of different things can be controlled by that on the iPhone however if I want to connect to Wi-Fi I've got to come over to the Settings tab and I've got to go to the Wi-Fi and then I turn that on and then go back and there we go so when it comes to connectivity and ease of use of turning on and off various functions of the phone the Android again in my opinion wins that battle hands-down so what we'll do now is we'll go ahead and do some application launch test we're going to launch Netflix here both of these devices are connects to Wi-Fi again so there's not going to be any of that radio weirdness going on in the galaxy's corner slowing it down so we'll go ahead and do that in 1 2 3 splash screen first on the iPhone followed by the galaxy about a second later galaxies loaded the grey screen first contents coming in I think that was a dead heat and I don't know about you but I think that was it absolute ty so let's go ahead and load an episode of something here something I've never been to before oh look at that they've got my princess hose y'all see my princess shows okay so we'll go ahead and load open season three here and on the count of three we'll go ahead and click the play button one two three looks like we got video playing first on the iPhone yes we do the galaxy is still just wow it's a little bit more delayed than I expect it to be to play anymore this music I'm going to a royalty okay I'm gonna go and shut that down we'll go ahead and try that again go back to Netflix okay so this time let's go ahead and load an episode of Breaking Bad 1 2 3 and that time decal ik cs3 was ahead by about a quarter second over the iPhone that one's definitely very close we'll go ahead and do a tiebreaker here let's go ahead and load let's say episode ten and one two three I phone looks like it was open a little bit faster but we got video first on the galaxy s3 so the galaxy s3 has one that two out of three competition I'm thinking something just might have gotten a little hung up in the code on the first one but it does look like they may have loaded two different episodes oh well I'm still going to go ahead and give it to the galaxy we'll go ahead and load up another application here we'll open Facebook that's one that most people use and we'll go ahead and do that in a count of three one two three it looks like we had content first on the iPhone but I don't know if that's necessarily a fair test since you have a bigger screen on the Android or the galaxy s3 it was rendering more information so I don't know if that was entirely fair but either way it was close enough to where you're not going to be able to tell a difference with either these devices in your hand it's going to be very fast both of these devices are very quick very speedy the screens are beautiful the app stores on both of these devices are full of awesome apps the Android Store or the Google Play Store does have a lot more free apps and you're going to find on Apple Apple apps tend to come at a little bit of a premium they're going to range anywhere from a buck all the way up to ten bucks depending on what you want you're going to find a lot of quality free apps on Android so when it comes to the value of the apps or I think I'm leaning a little bit more towards Android because of the fact that just there's a lot of free apps and granted they may have ads and whatnot in them I would rather have an app with an ad in it that allows me to play the full game versus the free apps you get an Android wear you get may get one or two levels of a particular game and then you get a in-store or in-app purchase screen that pops up and says if you want to play more go ahead and buy the app and that really just really gets annoying to me we'll go ahead and load one more application will load the YouTube app see if I can find it here alright and we'll do this in the count of three one two three and it looks like we had content loaded up first on the iPhone and there we go seem a bit more on the galaxy because of the larger screen and you're gonna see here on the iPhone alright so the question we've all been waiting for which phone wins well I think you've already learned by now and by the time you're watching this video there's probably already been Android sucks iPhone sucks iPhones you know a bunch of girls and androids a bunch of geeks and you're gonna see those comments no matter what I welcome those comments they're very funny to me and I dare you to flame me because guess what both these phones are mine so either way I win and you lose let's go ahead and hear what you use and why I like both of these phones equally I can't choose a clear winner but I can tell you there's things about the phones that I don't like and let's go and go into that I already mentioned I don't like the home screen on the iPhone it is just plain there's nothing to it than icons Android has you know the easy way of adding removing pages you've got the widgets the iPhone has non expandable storage space in it so what that means is if you buy a 32 gig like I did that's all you got 32 gigs I've got the 16 gigabyte Galaxy s3 but I want the LUP but I went with the lower model because I know that I can just buy another microSD cards lap it in there and I've got support all the way up to 64 gigabytes so it's kind of a no-brainer to get the smaller model there however if I went with the 16 gig on the iPhone I have no doubt I would fill that sucker up in no time whatsoever one thing I don't like about the Android though at least this particular phone is I don't like how the power button is on the right side I'm constantly picking it up and where does my finger go BAM right there so I'm always locking the phone turning it off and constantly bumping the buttons are here for the volume it's because they're really soft and really easy to push so I mean it's nice but I think if the buttons were firmer it wouldn't be as much of an issue I also don't like the rear battery cover here on the galaxy it's very cheap and flimsy every time I take it off I'm afraid I'm going to break it if you're an Android owner you know that every once in a while you have to pull the battery to do a little soft reset because sometimes androids memory usage just gets a bit clogged up and a software reset doesn't always cut it so sometimes you got to pull that battery out I also don't like how flimsy this cover is and how thin it is because you've got the battery right underneath it so if you're using the phone a lot or you're watching videos or playing games you know these batteries and these devices get kind of warm so the heat comes right through that and into your hand now on the iPhone it's a metal back and so it's still going to conduct the heat it just takes a little longer to do so and eventually that heat is going to come through I like the fact that the Android has a standard micro s hit I like the fact that the Galaxy has a standard micro USB port on the bottom I have tons of those chargers laying around I've got tons of those for the car the iPhone 5 as you may know switched from the 30-pin connector to the new lightning adapter so none of my old peripherals work not my iHome not my car charger not this docking very dusty gonna be using not this docking station here because it no longer uses that cable and Apple has the nerve the nerve to charge $30 for the adapter shame on you Apple even your MagSafe one to MagSafe to adapter for your MacBook Pros are ten bucks ten bucks and that uses more metal in it than the adapter for the 30-pin you're just trying to make money off of us because you know we have no choice lastly I will say that I personally think that the screen on the galaxy s3 is a little bit bigger than I would like I think somewhere right around a 4.5 or 4.2 kind of like the old X is perfect the 4.8 is gargantuan let's go ahead and hear what you own and why what do you like which do you use and let's hear your best Android versus iPhone and iPhone versus Android jokes this has been Jays two cents check out my iPhone vs. iPhone
