Nexus 5 vs. iPhone 5S Speed Test

2013-11-07
what's up guys david here from film buff and in this video we're gonna be doing a speed test with arguably the two fastest phones in the world right now in the Apple iPhone 5s on your left and the Google Nexus 5 on your right now I'm not going to be doing your typical run-of-the-mill speed test here because honestly doing the boot up app speed and browser tests each one by one won't really make more than a split second difference in most cases so instead we're gonna be switching it up a little and run each phone as fast as we possibly can through a virtual obstacle course consisting of a bootable test and twelve different apps and hopefully at the end all those split second differences will add up to a definitive winner so the Nexus 5 gets the early lead from the boot up test and jump straight into the first obstacle if you will and starting up the stopwatch with the iPhone 5s maybe a second or two behind it so keep in mind that we are putting both phones through the same exact series of tests here waiting for each phone to finish loading its tasks before going on to the next test alright so it looks like the iPhone 5s has caught up a little with both phones loading up Google Earth and as you can see the Nexus 5 showed the earth first but there is some stuttering going on whereas on the iPhone 5s the animation is a lot more smooth but either way it looks like both phones are loading up the 3d model about the same time so going in to the score mobile tests they are neck-and-neck and it looks like it's going to stay that way at least with a score mobile app because there is no separation whatsoever going into the Netflix app looks like the iPhone 5s is maybe just a split second ahead of the Nexus 5 and will lit up this streaming video here to see which one plays it first and as you can see the iPhone 5s did end up loading it up a little bit faster so it goes on to the next step but right hot on his heels is the Nexus 5 and looks like the Nexus 5 actually is really struggling with this RDO app so I don't know what's going on there maybe need some optimization from the developer but either way it is falling behind with the iPhone 5s already on the browser tests already loading the mobile vert site and onto the full verge site whereas the Nexus 5 is just now getting started with the browser test and the iPhone 5s pulling ahead going on to the social media portion of this test where it's actually struggling with the Facebook app a little so we'll have to see if the Nexus 5 could make a comeback similar to what the iPhone 5s did earlier in the video so on the iPhone 5s you got the Google+ app loading up still waiting on that verge website on the Nexus 5 going on to Twitter is the iPhone 5s with the Nexus 5 just now starting with the social media portion of this test so if it's gonna make a comeback it's got to do it now because the iPhone 5s is on the last app loading up the most recent video that I did on the channel and as you can see the iPhone 5s did load up the videos so it is just about done it took 1 minute and 58 seconds from when we first started the stopwatch and as you can see the Nexus 5 is still in the YouTube app trying to load up that last video that I uploaded and there you go finish loading up the video and for some reason the stopwatch stopped working when I opened it up but for those of you who want to know don't worry I got your back it finished in 2 minutes and 15 seconds alright guys that's pretty much it for me in the speed test like I said in the beginning you honestly won't notice the difference between the two phones in terms of speed unless you compare them side-by-side like this and there are much bigger differences to consider when deciding on your next phone but these type of videos are still fun to do so if you liked it please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for more iPhone 5s and Nexus 5 coverage just like this thank you for watching
