Nexus 7 vs. Galaxy Note 10.1, Which Is Faster?

2012-08-21
how's it going guys Davey here from buff calm and in this video I'm doing a speed comparison test between arguably the two most popular Android tablets on the market right now in the Asus Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 so obviously the assist Nexus 7 is in by that lower price point at either $200 for the 8 gigabyte or $250 for the 16 gigabyte of course the Galaxy Note 10.1 is for the higher range and this one is around $500 so what that says go ahead and boot up the devices for our first speed test so both of ours are obviously off right now I'm gonna press and hold power on both devices for a few seconds let go and I will go ahead and see which one actually boots up first now both these guys are packing a lot of power they both have quad-core processors you looking at the NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor at one point 3 gigahertz you look at the a keynotes for quad at 1.4 gigahertz of course this guy is 2 gigabytes of RAM compared to the one game by Ram found on the Nexus 7 and obviously when it comes to you know the OS this one does have the newer version being a nexus device is running 4.1 jellybean this guy's running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from the boot up times we can see that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 did actually unlock our finish first and I unlocked it first and I will go ahead and start up the application speed test from here so it'll go ahead and make this guy rotate up on me there you go alright so first thing we'll do is open up the game Temple Run now just to let you guys know it is running on the same Wi-Fi network on both devices and for the browser test I cleared out the browsing history so it's gonna be nice and fair so I'm going to try to tap these at the same time of a can so one two three Sall the splash screen first on the samsung galaxy note seems like it loaded up first and whilst wait to see the actual game menu there you go so you see it did little faster on the Galaxy Note 10.1 I'm gonna go ahead and hit home on both devices I'm not gonna close them out in the background because they're both running Android so we're gonna see you know the multitasking capability of both devices I'm a really quick turn out the brightness on the Galaxy Note all right so I went ahead and turned up the brightness and let's go ahead and go to the next application which is Flixter so one two three go and again it looks like a little faster on the galaxy note mainly because you can see these thumbnails over here all loaded up our for the most part are loaded up on the Nexus 7 they're still loading up and you see some of them are starting to roll through now there you go now we got the thumbnail so obviously it did process faster on the galaxy note tablet and let's go ahead and go to the next application which is Google Earth so one two three it's all the splash screen first again here it's all the earth here first and you know presumably we're gonna assume this will are this one's faster so the rendering is a little bit faster over here but this one actually went closer is probably why I was blurry nevermind so we'll go ahead and tap out of there we'll go to Google Maps so one two three and again Sall it a little bit faster on the galaxy note 10.1 we'll go ahead and whoops close out of here and last application will run is score Center before we get into the other tests and I actually loaded up a little bit faster on the Nexus 7 here we'll go ahead and swipe over and wave let's see which one we saw the content first on again the score Center on the Nexus 7 is faster we got an ad we don't want to see that go ahead and go to the NFL page and pretty much it seems like the Nexus 7 you know I'll be a little bit but it is faster than the Galaxy Note when it comes to this certain application so obviously you know your real world experience is gonna be a little bit different depending on you know what applications you have but these are just five general apps that I use and for the most part you know you give the edge to the Galaxy Note 10.1 but the next seven wasn't that far behind them really wasn't that big of a difference and it did load up a little bit faster on score Center biggest difference I think was in the flick strap where the Galaxy Note did load it up the little thumbnails a lot faster than Nexus 7 so let's go ahead and run a benchmark so I'm gonna go ahead and close out the applications over here so let's hit removal I can and I'll go ahead and swipe them out of here and we're gonna do a quick quadrant benchmark so that way we kind of get idea as far as the benchmark so go ahead and open the quadrant professional app on both and then we're gonna hit run full benchmark and I'll just skip through this whole process that you guys don't have to actually watch it and I'll let you guys see the scores at the end all right so both devices are now done and you can see the galaxy or I'm sorry the Nexus 7 scored a three thousand six hundred and sixty seven obviously this is just a benchmark but gives you good ideas for us you know what as far as what the benchmark tested with score is and on the Galaxy Note 10.1 scored a 5850 so obviously pretty much like the performance we've seen thus far the Galaxy Note 10.1 is performing better you know the frequency obviously is faster at one point four gears versus one point three and there is more RAM so it's kind of expected both screens are actually running at the same resolution so that's not really playing a factor let's go ahead and do the browser test now so I'm gonna open up Google Chrome Google Chrome isn't the default browser over here it is on the Nexus 7 because of jellybean on here is this a regular Samson browser but I'm not gonna be using that because you know I wanted to be a little bit more fair I'm just gonna load up a couple of websites I'm gonna do the Google search for those websites first so that way the pre-loading doesn't affect you know we're trying to type in first so first website will do is phonebook com alright so it just did a quick Google search for phone buff obviously the first link is gonna be phonebook com I'm gonna tap on these guys at the same time so one two three and I will try to see which one actually loads first so try to pay attention I might not be able to call it accurately because it is kind of hard to look at two devices at once saw the ads here first so that gives me a better idea this status bar actually showed to be finished a little bit before this one but if I'm looking are looking at the content it looks like the galaxy note did load it up a little bit faster well go ahead and do a quick scroll test so both scrolling really smoothly will tap on this article right over here one two three hopefully this one will give us a better idea and we saw the content here first and that was really close I mean really couldn't tell obviously using Google Chrome with a quad core you're gonna get pretty much the same results seems like alright so I'm gonna do a Google search for NFL all right so you see NFL comm shows up at the top on both Google searches we're gonna go ahead and tap on these at the same time so one two three and try see which one actually loads up first saw the content here first on the galaxy note and scores first here and again the big slide show over here so pretty much safe to say that the Galaxy Note 10.1 does load up the NFL website faster and that flash test will be a little suit New York Times so I'm just gonna do a Google for that all right so I did a Google search for a New York Times and we'll go ahead and tap on the website right over here at the same time if I can so one two three and saw the content first on the galaxy note 10.1 more of the pictures and it's already done this guy seems to be loading I mean that's the status bar says but it looks like it's pretty much done for the most part so when still goes to the Galaxy Note 10.1 for our last test we're just gonna do a browser mark benchmark so that way we can see you know the benchmarks of the browsers and we'll be done with it all right so I'll go ahead and run the benchmark and I'll just skip through the results so that way you guys could see exactly what each device scored all right so the browser mark benchmark is done and the Nexus 7 scored a one hundred and twenty nine thousand seven hundred and fifty four so a really high score here obviously gonna get a great browsing experience on the Nexus 7 and we'll go ahead and look at the Galaxy Note 10.1 and exceed scored a one hundred fifty nine thousand nine hundred and twenty two so really amazing scores on both devices but obviously the faster one or the higher score is on it the Galaxy Note honestly that's what's been reflected throughout this whole speed test from the most part and you know I mean you can't really fault in the Nexus 7 it only cost two hundred to two hundred fifty dollars where this guy's over five hundred dollars so not really that big of a deal considering that this guy is so close it might be worth it for you guys if you know you want to spend down much on a tablet really great performance for you know per dollar compared to this one however you're gonna get more features this this is not you know a device comparison by any means this is speed comparison but anyway those are the results I found this video helpful
