Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.1) vs. iPhone 5 - Boot Up, App Speed, and Browser Test

2012-10-03
what's up guys Davy here from form of comm in this video we're doing a speed prepares to test between the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in this case the unlock hspa+ version and the apple iphone 5 to see which phone is faster out of the tube now you may be wondering you know why the heck would I even be doing a speech as between these two devices considering the iPhone 5 is brand spanking new and the Galaxy Nexus almost a year old witch in the world of technology is a really really long time but the reason why I'm doing is because one the Galaxy Nexus is still the current flagship Nexus device from google and two it's running the latest version of Android jellybean 4.1 point one with all the project butter enhancements so it should be able to hold its weight so what that said we'll go ahead and start the speed test I'll start off with a boot up test press and hold both power buttons at the same time and let them load their respective voices while they're loading unless you know that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network I cleared out the browsing history on both devices and also when I do the application speed test and we're using apps made by the same developers so those are different os's it's the closest thing to you know the real world experience a real world test when it comes to apps so you see the iphone 5 did win the boot up test here i can unlock it and it's still searching for the network now the Galaxy Nexus is done now this guy to have a sim card in so it's not going to be searching you know for any network I might give the devices a couple of seconds to a load of things in the background and before it started the application speed test I want you I want you guys to you know pay attention not only to you know which phone loads up the application faster and I suspect that iphone 5 is gonna be loading a lot of the apps faster considering its newer and running iOS which is you know Barry speed optimized but also beat them to how big of a difference it is so that way you kind of see know what the next Nexus device will look like you know once I picked that against this guy so let's go ahead and load up Google Earth so tap earth at the same time on both devices and that one looked just about you know the same as far as load speed time so I mean pretty impressive as having to call it a tire and I both are loading up New York City right now really close the Galaxy Nexus 3d buildings turned on of course on Google Earth on the iphone it doesn't have 3d buildings or doesn't have that option so we'll go ahead and back out of here got a call that one a draw we'll go ahead and load up the next application we're just going to be flixster so tap on at the same time so the iphone 5 did you know when by a significant margin here I mean obviously both of them open up really fast so I mean that's a significant margin will go ahead and tap on a movie and again we see the content a little bit faster than iphone 5 so we have to give the win to the iphone 5 there let's go to next step so yahoo is part tacular again we're seeing these scores already and now we're seeing it on the Galaxy Nexus so another one for the iphone 5 and what apps do we have left will do YouTube so we saw the startup page first on the iphone 5 let's see which one goes is the content first um that was really close I mean technically it looked like the iphone 5 was finished loading first far as the pictures and that's only because it doesn't show you as much content because it's still not you know adjusted for the larger display on the iphone 5 letterboxing right now so i'll call that one a tie honestly because it was pretty much too close so go ahead and back out and let's go ahead and run another application suite has to do Ted so openly shut one up yeah definitely faster on the iphone 5 there so there was you know up at least a one second difference between the two here so overall for those five apps you know it's a the edge went to the iphone 5 because it was only one actually won all the other ones were tied as far as Google Earth and YouTube so we'll go ahead and let's load up the calculators now obviously these are you know differently coded I'm ended up all the apps are differently coded but these ones you know aren't available on both the West's so we'll go ahead and open up the calculator you know for the nexus in the calculator for the iphone 5 and see which one opens up bastards are 123 so both them opened almost instantly but it was little bit faster on the iphone 5 not sure if does just the transition animation or just the sheer processing power but really really close but you have to give the edge to the iphone 5 let's go ahead and see the camera because this one's gonna be a little more interesting as far as which one's going to let you capture that Kodak moment faster and uh yeah it's a little bit faster than iphone 5 again so when there is a difference it's about a second or so and that's pretty much it for the apps let's go ahead and start doing the browser speed test so I'm gonna load up a couple of websites to test and we'll see which phone gives you a faster web browsing experience so go ahead and open up each browser and we'll go to foam ball first all right so I did a quick google search for phone wealth main reason I'm doing this because I don't want google chrome to use his preload and future to kind of you know change the results so we'll go ahead and tap on the first link and see which one goes up the site faster seeing the contact first on the iphone 5 and the iphone 5 says it's done you can see all the ads are not what not and now the Galaxy Nexus is done so i'll take maybe about two or three second difference there we'll go ahead and tap on an article and again we're seeing the content first on the iphone 5 the youtube embedded video picture for the embedded video and now we're seeing it on the Galaxy Nexus go again maybe about two seconds there let's go ahead and try another website will go to New York Times all right so we'll tap on the first link and again we're seeing the content first on the iphone 5 and uh we're actually at the mobile site over here but this actually finished just about the same time as a mobile site get over here so that kind of you know shows you the difference here as far as the you know which one loads up faster i mean this one loaded up the full website with all the pictures and all the content where this guy take the same amount of time to load up just the mobile site so pretty impressive for the iphone 5 i will do one more test will go to let's say NFL com see if we actually you know see if both of them load the same type of website I so go ahead and tap on the first link and this time they're both going to the mobile site and we're seeing the pictures we got a little pop-up or you know a promotion to download their app go ahead and X out of there same thing over here so again faster on the iphone 5 I think that pretty much you know gives you a clear idea as far as the speed difference between the two we'll go ahead and run a browser mark benchmark just to give you a score look at so I'll go ahead and hit run benchmark and kind of skip through the whole process of that where you guys can see the final result I so the browser mark benchmark is done on both devices and you can see that the iphone 5 disc or higher with the score of 187,000 608 compared to the score of 100 9591 on the Galaxy Nexus so both are actually really high scores of course the iPhone 5 is a lot higher I want to say that this is the highest score i've seen you know in any mobile device i tested the galaxy note 10.1 tablet with that I quino's processor two gigs ram and that scored like 160,000 so this is really really impressive to me but that's pretty much it for that browser test yeah so overall I mean you're going to get a lot better device in 9.5 compares to the Galaxy Nexus but we kind of already knew that obviously I'm pretty impressed with the performance that you know the Galaxy Nexus gave up with that you know android 4.1 point one jellybean optimization arm really excited to see the next next device when we're pitting it against the iphone 5 so definitely stay tuned for that so subscribe to the channel please hit like button and thank you for watching the video
