HTC One S vs Samsung Galaxy Nexus Speed Comparison

2012-04-25
hey guys david here from bumble calm and in this video and we're doing a comparison test between the t-mobile HTC One S here on the left and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus the unlocked HSPA+ version here on the right so I'm just gonna be doing a couple of speed comparison tests like a boot up test a browser test running a few apps and things like that just kind of get a better idea as far as which phone performance faster obviously we expect the 1s important password with the s4 1.5 gigahertz processor compared to the 1.2 gigahertz Oh Matt 4 460 on the Nexus but you never really know how a device performs tell you testing and real in the real world so we'll go ahead and turn on both devices they're both off right now so press it at the same time for like 4 seconds let go and let them go off so you can see nothing on the screen on the 1s froze up and sold right now so there's a bit of a delay not sure if that's just my device or if it's like that on all devices but we'll go ahead and see which device loads up the OS the fastest all right so you can see on the 1s the home screen showed up a little bit before this the Galaxy Nexus that is still in the animation here there you go you can see the unlock screen and now you see the unlock screen on the Nexus so it is faster than the 1s I'd say by a second or two at most followed by the Galaxy Nexus not too big of a difference I'll go ahead and unlock both phones and they're both running on the same Wi-Fi network this so you guys know I did wipe out the browser history each because I'm doing some browser tests but before I get to that I'm just going to launch some apps so first type of watch is the stock messaging app on both phones just to give you ideas how fast the browser or the messaging app opens so I present at the same time and you can see it opened up faster in the 1s not sure if that's the animation thing or if that's just the pure speed on the 1s we'll go ahead and do a another test on Flixter to get a better idea so we'll do Flixter and again you can see the 1s is about a second or two ahead of the Galaxy Nexus will hit home at the same time and I'm not sure again if this is just the animation difference but the 1s does feel faster more so than it is we'll go ahead and open up score Center now so score Center and again you can see that the one has opened up this time a few seconds ahead of the Galaxy Nexus will hit home at the same time and now will run the camera app so just to see how fast he launched the camera on each phone so I'll go ahead and hit camera at the same time so one two three and again you can see that the one has definitely beat out the Galaxy Nexus here so so far we're getting results as expected again I just wanted to see the difference between the two I'm sure a lot of you at home one or two as well well go ahead and open up Google Earth on both phones now so we'll hit Google Earth open up on the 1s a little bit faster again we'll search for Las Vegas so Los Vegas and I already searched Las Vegas here once before so hit him at the same time now this one is probably going faster in this case compared to the 1s again because I did load it up in the past but it's not I'm not trying to test which one opens up faster as far as the location what I'm actually gonna load up is the 3d buildings on each device and I'm actually gonna cut out on the video to let them look for about a minute so you guys could get a better idea as far as how well the 3d buildings load up on each device so I'll go ahead and make sure 3d buildings are on so in this case it's early on so I hit back over here I'll make sure they're on and like I said I'm gonna pause the video come back in about a minute or so after both devices are done loading and we'll see how each performs alright so I went ahead and let both phones load up for about a minute or two and because this guy did load up first or I had it loaded up beforehand I'm gonna go ahead and zoom in and zoom out on this guy first so I'm just gonna move this out of the way and focus on this guy so I'll go ahead and zoom in and zoom out and try to pay attention to how smooth it goes in now keep in mind this isn't necessarily testing just the CPU it's testing both the CPU and the GPU and this guy has the HDX 540 clocked higher then it is on the Nexus S or the galaxy s like you've seen it's at 384 I believe anyway I'll go ahead and do a 360 spin so this app are a Google Earth with the 3d buildings really taxes the processors on these phones hopefully it gives you a better deal as far as how that one performs we'll go ahead and go on the 1s now and again zoom in and zoom out and this guy has the audrina to 2001 a brag and s4 and hopefully this gives you a better idea as far as the performance goes from my experience just trying to run these apps the Google Earth app keeps crashing on the 1s I'm not sure if that's a compatibility issue that has to be addressed with Google Earth as you can see a crash right now so for right now we have to give the win to the Galaxy Nexus if that's a update or if an update can actually fix that issue then we'll redo the test but for right now like I said the Galaxy Nexus is a clear winner we'll go ahead and close out the recent apps that are on the phone so close up these apps all right so now we'll go ahead and go to our final test which is the browser test so open up the browser on both phones at the same time alright so both of them loaded the homepage about the same but of course they're different home pages so we'll go ahead and go to phonebook comm on each phone so phonebook calm and phonebook calm so they're both bookmarked here at the top I'm just gonna tap them at the same time so one two three and you can see the 1s seems to have a lead on the Galaxy Nexus loaded up a picture first and seems like it's loading up there you go it's done so this guy is done now so you definitely see it loaded up the website a bit faster I'll go ahead and zoom in and zoom out give you guys an idea as far as the zoom quality or the how good the zoomin and zoom-out is on each phone so you see it's pretty smooth on the goes to Nexus I will try to zoom in nice and big on here and we'll do the same thing on the 1s and really smooth on here I feel like it's actually smoother on the 1s than it is on the Galaxy Nexus we'll go ahead and load up another one page so we'll load up I'll just click on this top article right here so one two three it's gonna zoom this guy out and it's done and you can see the Galaxy Nexus followed shortly thereafter so again the one SS faster in this regard and of course that's because the processor is faster both are running on android 4.0 or so actually 4.0.3 this is actually 4.0.2 still haven't got the updated 4.0.4 alright enough of that website let's go ahead and go to NFL calm so NFL comment this guy nfl.com on this guy and we'll hit go at the same time so one two three and again it finished first on the 1s we'll scroll down to the bottom and go to the desktop version so one two three I'll zoom out so we get a full picture and I'll let you know when this guy is done loading in fact they actually loaded it our finished loading about at the same time well let's go to one more site just so we could claim a winner we'll go to yahoo.com and Yahoo com1 here hit enter at the same time so one two three and again it seemed to load up a little bit faster on the 1s for the mobile site let's see if we get a clear winner with the desktop site and it looks like they finished about the same time so the browser speeds aren't too different from the two phones I'll say that the 1s definitely has an advantage you know by a few seconds or so this little one more site let's go to phone dog comm so phone dog calm and phone dog calm all right and we'll hit enter at the same time so one two three and they're both still loading so there's a lot of content on this site and I'll let you know as soon as one finishes all right in this case the Galaxy Nexus actually finished a little bit before the 1s so really I mean the two browsers seem to be somewhat equal you know you pick up either these phones you're gonna get great browsing performance I'll hit home at the same time again you can see the screen pops up faster the home screen possible a lot faster on the 1s than it does in the Galaxy Nexus but pretty much those are the results that we have overall both are great fast phones I have to give the slight edge to the 1s loaded up faster as far as the boot up time the cameras definitely loads up faster all the apps seem to be a little bit snappier however on the Galaxy Nexus the Google Earth app and the GPU seem to be a little bit superior compared to the one especially considering the fact that the Galaxy Nexus has a higher resolution than does the 1s and the browser's seem about equal from what I've seen so overall the winner is the 1s as expected but Galaxy Nexus actually came a lot closer than I thought it would but that's it for me this video if you found it helpful hit the like button to subscribe and don't forget to visit Bombo kampf more cell phone news reviews and how to's thank
