Moto X vs. HTC One, Which One Is Faster?

2013-09-09
what's up guys david here from fumble fan in this video we're gonna be doing a speed comparison test between the Moto X and the HTC One to see not only which one is faster but also how much of a difference there is if any between the two phones now the main story here is the difference in specs or more specifically the processors the HTC One has a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor clocked at 1.7 gigahertz while the Moto X has a dual-core Snapdragon s4 pro also clocked at 1.7 gigahertz both phones have 2 gigabytes of RAM and also share the same GPU or graphics processor in the audrina 320 and the only real difference after that which could affect performance hardware wise is the fact that the HTC one's display is pushing a lot more pixels with 1080p resolution compared to a 720p resolution on the Moto X which could put more of a strain on the ones GPU ok so with the one just dominating the Moto X in the boot up test we're ready for some good old fashioned benchmarks first of all it'll be the all new Geekbench 3 as you can see here the Moto X scored a slightly higher score of 678 compared to 665 on the one in the single core test but as you'd expect in the multi core test the quad-core HTC One really separated itself with a score of 1934 almost 700 points higher than the 1257 that the Moto X was able to achieve next benchmark is an teensy where again the HTC One score is higher with the score of twenty-five thousand eight hundred and nine over the twenty 1368 on the Moto X and finally the last pen chronicle run here is the old but still fun to run benchmark in quadrant where the moto x scores a nine thousand and ninety five which is about thirty five hundred less than the twelve thousand 635 on the HTC one respectable benchmark scores all around but the edge definitely goes to the quad-core HTC one in this test but those are just synthetic benchmarks right what really matters is how these devices perform in the real world so we'll load up a couple of popular apps on each phone and see how they do first app will run is score mobile and we saw the content just a split second faster on the HTC one tapping on the game loads up at about the same time on both maybe a little faster on the Moto X and loading up team info is as close you can possibly get second Apple test is the one that most of us use in Instagram here loaded up a split second faster on the Moto X profile a split second faster on the one and this picture here loaded up again at about the same time next out will run is a game actually in Temple Run 2 which uses a lot more processing power than the other two apps we test it so a little bit more interesting of a test that should give us some separation here and as you can see it did with the game loading up a little bit faster on the Moto X than it did on the one ok so when it comes to loading apps and games the two phones are really close so close that the difference between them is negligible but if I had to give the edge to any one phone it would definitely be the Moto X alright so the next test we're gonna be running here is one that really stresses the CPU and transcoding a video I've loaded the same video file on both phones here and we'll Transco them at the same time and see what happens so as you can see the Moto X has pulled away with a slight lead and transcoding the video file and we'll finish up first which is really interesting since going into this test in particular I expected the one to outperform it considering the test is so processor intensive but nope not the case which is exactly why we do these speeds hats on phone buff with that out of the way let's move to the final test in the browser speed test first site we'll go to is of course bumble of calm which was really close they load of the pages differently so it's kind of hard to tell but the content finished loading up first on the one whereas the status bar finished first on the Moto X tap this article at the same time and while these guys are loading up I'll let you guys know that both phones are connected to the same Wi-Fi network browsing history and cache have been cleared so it's nice and even and as you can see both phones loaded up the page at about the same time with the status bar finishing up first on the Moto X going to the verge calm the Moto X loaded up the mobile site just a little bit faster tapping on an article and we get the opposite results this time with the one loading the page faster so let's try to settle this by going with a more demanding test by loading up the full and media-rich verge site so we're seeing most of the content first on the Moto X we see that at first and yep the Moto X seems to be just one short step ahead of the HTC One as far as the browser test goes I think it's a little too close to call so I'll let you guys do it down in the comments below but in the end both phones are really really fast both are smooth and just about everything they do and you won't really be disappointed with either when it comes to performance if I had to choose a winner and it's hard to do because it was so close it would have to be the Moto X right now the OS and most of the apps out there just don't take full advantage of those extra cores and with less of a demand on the GPU due to a slower 720p resolution the Moto X is the slightly better performer alright guys that's it for me in this video if you liked it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for more mobile technology videos just like this thank you for watching and see you in a nice video
