what's up guys David here and today we have a very special speed test that involves a little bit of sibling rivalry between these Snapdragon and Exynos variants of the galaxy s7 but before we get to racing I want to give a quick shout out to Norton the go-to source for internet security software who recently released part two of their documentary series the most dangerous town on the Internet this latest episode covers what are called cyber bunkers where organizations can safely host and store their sensitive data like many documentaries of this type there are plenty of heated moments for example when the journalist gets cussed out by a company that doesn't want to be videotaped don't take any pictures of me doesn't make me angry stay away from me okay so not your friend it's actually a pretty intense documentary so if you're interested in cyber security you own a phone or you use the Internet this may be a documentary worth checking out which will be linked for you down below in the description all right let's get to the speed test so you guys know the drill we'll get this thing going by starting these stopwatches on each phone and then jump into the first row of system apps on your left you have the quad-core Snapdragon 820 s7 and on your right you have the octa core Exynos 88-90 s7 which has quickly pulled ahead in this first lap with it already finishing up with Angry Birds and starting to work on asphalt 8 but when I even halfway through this first lap so there is still plenty of time for both variants to show off what they can do and really it's this first lap that I'm most interested in seeing as a phone's processor can make a significant difference during the initial loading of an application so we're really getting to see which processor is faster with this type of usage and so far it looks like the Exynos is edging out the snapdragon with it being almost a full lap ahead finishing up Photoshop mix and heading into lab set where each one will create a time-lapse from the same exact video file so this could be where the Snapdragon 820 makes up some ground on the Exynos now at this point it is worth noting that while the phones are almost identical outside of their processors from a hardware perspective there are also some differences in software as the Snapdragon variant being tested here is from AT&T which has a bad habit of putting bloatware on their phones however we did disable all the after we were able to beforehand so in theory the software should make too much of a difference after finishing up Spotify the Exynos variant of the s7 moves on to the last leg of this first lap loading up both the mobile and the desktop versions of the Amazon website and there you go it finishes the first stop at a time of 1 minute and 27 seconds which is almost a good 10 seconds faster than the Snapdragon variants time of 1 minute and 36 seconds and the Exynos version looks to keep asleep with it actually keeping at least most of these games open up in the background which the Snapdragon variant does not so an unexpected turn of events with the Exodus version just breezing through this second lap while the Snapdragon variant is having these same old issues we've seen other Samsung phones have in the past struggling to keep all the apps open in the background despite having the same amount of physical RAM so the xml's variant finishes the race with a total time of 2 minutes and 3 seconds while the Snapdragon variant is still stuck on the gaming row so we'll go ahead and fast-forward it to the finish line where nearly 40 seconds later it logs a total time of 2 minutes and 41 seconds ok so very interesting results the excellent did better than the Snapdragon variant in that first lap which is kind of something I expected but what surprised me was that the Exynos variant also did better in the multitasking lap which I didn't expect since both phones have the same amount of RAM and supposedly run on the same software but either way the Exynos variant is definitely the faster of the two so it'll be interesting to see how it does against the iPhone 6s plus and other phones on the line so enable those channel notifications so you don't miss out on any of our upcoming speed tests alright guys that is it for me in this video thank you for watching and as always I'll see you in the very next episode
