Galaxy Note 2 vs iPhone 5 - Boot Up, App Speed, and Browser Test

2012-10-26
how's it going guys Davey here from bluff calm and in this video we're doing a speed press test between the Apple iPhone 5 here on the left and the samsung galaxy note 2 here on the right to see which phone is faster between the two well go ahead and start off with a boot up test so I'll go ahead and power on each device and let them load up their respective voices which by the way is Android 4.1.1 jelly bean on the Galaxy Note 2 and iOS 6 on the iPhone 5 both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and the browsing history and cache have been wiped so it's gonna be nice and even as far as those tests go we have the Apple a6 dual-core processor running on the iPhone 5 and the quad core Exynos 4 quad processor at 1.6 gigahertz on the galaxy note 2 so from the boot up sense we can see that the iPhone 5 did seem to load up a little bit faster maybe a couple of seconds and we'll let these guys finish loading up everything while they're loading up I'll let you guys know that you know the a speed test obviously they're gonna be written differently as far as the apps go but they aren't the same apps written by the same developer so it's as close as we get it so with that said let's go ahead and start so first I will run is calculator and that was really close to mean pretty much a draw only difference there is probably the transition animation so I'm just gonna call that one a draw we'll go ahead and hit home and go on to the next step which is gonna be YouTube tap them at the same time and see which one actually shows us the content first because you know when it comes to apps you want to see the content first or faster and this case it was faster on the Galaxy Note 2 then it was on the iPhone 5 maybe by a second or two I will go ahead and go to the next app which is gonna be Google Earth so tap those guys at the same time and again a little bit faster on the Galaxy Note 2 in this case so so far the Galaxy Note 2 is opened up to applications faster being YouTube and Google Earth and the calculator was a draw of course we'll do Temple Run and this time seems to be faster on the iPhone 5 yeah so it's going through a slow transition animation here and now it is on the Galaxy Note 2 go ahead and exit out of next up will be wordpress so tap these guys at the same time and a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 and not only that die from five actually loaded up the content as far as the articles I wrote on bone buff where the Galaxy Note 2 just loaded up this little menu so pretty impressive there for the iPhone 5 so right now it's 2 and 2 Google Earth and YouTube open up that's from the note 2 and then Temple Run and WordPress faster on the iPhone 5 so let's go ahead and go to Twitter and faster on the Galaxy Note 2 here so Galaxy Note 2 now house three wins go to dictionary and faster on the Galaxy Note 2 um we got this little pop-up but it was maybe you know half a second faster we'll go ahead and go to the next tab which is gonna be Flixter and seem to be a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 in this case and last up will do is gonna be score Center and faster on the iPhone 5 again so because these apps do multitask a little bit differently we're gonna go kind of backwards or in reverse order as far as opening the application so we're gonna go to score Center and this time let's actually move around so we'll go from one tab to the next and seems faster on iphone 5 still let's go ahead and go to movies by Flixter and we'll go to another tab we'll go to go to theaters so tap theaters and pretty much the same thing here we'll go to dictionary and you know it's pretty much the theme is they're running at the same speed so now let's go ahead and do the camera app so go ahead and tap camera at the same time and see which one actually shows the viewfinder first so that was really really close really tough call you guys might have to be the judge of that one if I had a guess maybe a little bit faster on the galaxy note 2 but I'm really not sure I would have thought you know watch that in slow motion almost on video instead of seeing in you know real person so that's the application speed test pretty much I'll call it a draw means some apps open up fast from the galaxy note 2 some apps open up faster on the iPhone 5 typically what the Android you know the iPhone or the iOS was always faster compared to Android but now with jellybean and this super powerful processor on the Galaxy Note 2 seems like it took care of that issue boot of tests was loaded faster on the iPhone 5 but now let's go to the browser test so this is you know one of the most important tests I think when it comes to speed test and that's how fast can each device render a website first website we'll go to is gonna be foam buff calm alright so I just did a quick google search for foam buff so that way the Galaxy Note 2's you know pre loading feature doesn't play a part here go ahead and tap on the link at the same time and see which one actually loads the website up first so seeing the content a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 and seeing the ads first on the Galaxy Note 2 and they're both done now so I mean when it comes to the status bar the iPhone 5 actually showed that it finished first loading up the initial pictures as faster than the iPhone 5 but the ads and everything else loaded up faster on the galaxy note 2 and taking into account that you know we're seeing much more information on the galaxy note 2 you know it probably makes up for that difference I have to call Taiwan a draw really because it was too close to call well go ahead and go to this article right here hopefully we get some better separation so again faster content on the iPhone 5 pictures faster so that way I could give the win to the iPhone 5 because it was pretty significant and you know it seemed like it actually made a difference so let's go to another website will go to NFL also did a Google search for NFL tap the first link and you see we're seeing the content first on the iPhone 5 pictures and articles and still waiting on the Galaxy Note 2 so we got a little pop up on iPhone 5 asking for us to download the app and now the Galaxy Note 2 is done and that pop ups are gonna come up any second out but we'll go ahead and go to another site which is gonna be in gadget also we googled Engadget we'll go ahead and tap on the first link at the same time and looks like with all the cons that little fast from the iPhone 5 it's done loading and now the Galaxy Note 2 is done loading we'll go ahead and look at the full site because that was a really close one tries to see if we get some more stuff raishin tap on desktop seeing the content first on the iPhone 5 seeing some you know little banners here loading up first on the galaxy note though now everything else loaded up on the iPhone 5 and we're still waiting on the Galaxy Note 2 so I have to say that it is faster on the iPhone 5 once again alright so we'll go ahead and tap on one of these articles so we'll tap on the central one right over here tap them at the same time and really close right now but it looks like the iPhone 5 does have a slight edge iPhone 5 says it's done but we're actually seeing the advertisement for surface here faster and I probably see on the top notification bar it's still loading things in the background so the win actually goes to the Galaxy Note 2 here still hasn't even showed us the advertisement so that's something to take into consideration to finish off the browser test risk and go ahead and do a quick browser like benchmark alright so loaded up the browser benchmark site we'll go ahead and start the benchmark and I'm just kind of skip through the whole process and get straight to the results you also the browser drunk benchmark is done and both devices scored a really really high score the Galaxy Note 2 got a score of one hundred eighty-two thousand seven hundred and seventy and the iPhone 5 scored a one hundred eighty 6868 so only eight about you know four thousand you know point difference really really close and that's pretty much what was reflected you know in the actual browsing test I mean both were really really fast some websites loaded up faster on the iPhone five some loaded up faster on the galaxy note 2 but as far as you know overall speed I'd have to call it a draw between these two devices I'm actually you know pretty impressed I've always known you know iOS is a little bit faster as far as these speed optimizations that's why they you know lesser Hardware then Android can but with jelly jelly beans speed improvements it seems like it's actually really really fast on the galaxy note 2 of course when you actually test multitasking you'll do better on the galaxy note 2 because it does have more RAM and actually they could handle more application running at the same time compared to the iPhone 5 with one gigabyte of RAM but overall I mean both devices are super super fast you know I really I really can't give the edge to any one device here but that's pretty much it for me and the speed test if you found it helpful please hit the like
