Nexus 7 vs. iPad 3 Speed Test - Boot Up, Apps, and Browser

2012-08-14
how's it going guys Davey here from bomb.com and in this video we're doing a speed comparison test between iOS and Android flagship tablets on the left you have the Asus Nexus 7 tablet from Google and on the right of course you have the iPad 2 the third-generation in this case so let's go ahead and start our speed comparison test we're gonna do the boot up test first so find the power button so I'll press with the same time so 1 2 3 hold them for about 3 seconds each and there you go set these guys down and I want to load and let you know they're both on the same Wi-Fi network and browsing history has been wiped on both browsers today I'll be doing a browser test I'm also be doing app speed comparison test but kind of hard to do are kind of hard to find apps that are similar because not only are they different OSS but they're also you know that the ipad apps are different we're on the nexus 7 the app store it's basically the same thing as you'd get on the phone so over here you can see the ipad has finished what like maybe 5 seconds before the nexus 7 tablet did so obviously the boot up test win goes to the ipad keep in mind that the nexus 7 tablet is a $200 tablet the ipad over here the third generation is a $500 tablet this guy has a Nvidia quad-core processor at one point three gigahertz with a 12 core GPU and this guy has a dual core a5 x1 gigger processor or a dual core processor with a quad-core GPU so keep that in mind now I'm not gonna be comparing the devices here I'm just gonna be doing strictly speed so I'm not you know considering the price I'm not considering the resolution etc I just want to see you know what device is gonna give you the fastest experience so with that said let's go ahead and start our application speed test first application on my run is Temple Run so I'll go ahead and do that so one two three and we'll see which one actually loads the game up first so the iPad actually loaded it up first followed by androids Nexus 7 we'll go ahead and close out now I'm actually gonna close out the applications here because I am you know testing different os's and you know the iPad won't actually multitask where the next seven will it's not gonna be fair if I don't do it so anyway let's go to the next app which will be maps so one two three and again open up faster on the iPad again I'll this swipe this guy off which typically closes not always but should do the job here we'll go to Google Earth so one two three so doing to Google Apps back-to-back this time the Nexus 7 actually opened Google Earth up first so finally you know wins one of its home court advantage apps close this guy out here will swipe it out here and lastly we'll open up Flixter now Flixster they're both the tablet versions which is nice so we'll go ahead and open up one two three and that one was really close I mean I couldn't really tell I know that the left side loaded up first on the Nexus 7 tablet and octenol external force on the iPad but the content seemed to load up first on the Nexus 7 so I'll call it a tie but maybe if I give it a win I'd say the Nexus 7 not really sure you guys can be the judge of that one let's go ahead and close this out but now let's get to a test that really matters I mean to boot up and the app speed test the apps are different differently written so it's not that big of a deal but the browsing test is worse really gonna make a difference because you know the Internet you connect to it all the same so let's go ahead and go to a few websites first website we'll go to of course is phonebook calm alright so I went ahead and typed in phone whoof common both imma hit go at the same time so one two three and let's see which one actually loads up first so it looks like the iPad is actually done now and this guy's still loading and you know you could kind of tell from the beginning that the iPad had a bit of a head start on the rendering of the web page compared to the next seven let's go ahead and open up this application right over here or this web page right here so I'm going to tap at the same time and we're seeing the content much faster here got the pictures got the ads now this guy's done so again the win goes to the iPad alright so let's go ahead and load up another web set we'll go ahead and go to Engadget so one two three again we're seeing the content first on the iPad now just to note I did turn off the pre loading you know rendering on the Google Chrome browser because it does load up you know things before actually hit enter so the iPad is done yeah loads up things before I hit enter if I leave that optional I turned it off to make it fair and again you know we got the win for the iPad now let's just do a scrolling test so I'm just gonna scroll to the bottom you guys can see you know no little check boards everything is super super smooth and you know zooming in and out is really really nice so let's go ahead and try the same thing on the next seven go over now you can see see like it just went all white so it wasn't necessarily look rendering the whole webpage the way you know you'd expect it to you know even when I go back up you ready loaded that part in it's always now it seems like it's doing okay and let's go ahead and do the pinch-to-zoom test and the print resume is super super smooth so basically the main difference is you know the browser actually loads up faster on the iPad but also you know when you scroll down you're gonna get you know white you know white page basically on the nexus 7 where you're not gonna get that iPad so you're gonna get more of a desktop experience on the iPad so anyway that's the short you know speed comparison test obviously the iPad 1 in pretty much every category the only you know when that really went to the next seven was Google Earth and it's not that big of a deal obviously you're paying $200 here paying 500 hours over here so you know keep that in mind you know is that speed difference worth $300 to you or maybe some other things like the higher resolution screen but whatever it is just wanted to do this video for you guys to use could actually know what the difference is if you found it helpful please hit
