iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S3, Which Is Faster?

2012-09-21
hey guys Davey here from fawn bluff calm and in this will be doing a speed comparison test between the Apple iPhone 5 here on the left against the Samsung Galaxy s3 here on the right to see which one obviously better performance both devices are actually off right now so I'm go ahead and turn them on at the same time so one two three press and hold the power button and wait until I see something and there we go we'll go ahead and let both of them run up their respective operating systems and see which one loads up faster while they're loading let you know that both are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and the browsing history has been wiped on both just be nice and even test see the boot up animation on the Samsung Galaxy s3 looks like the iPhone 5 is done I'll go ahead and unlock and I could actually navigate throughout everything right now so it is definitely done now the galaxy of three is done go ahead and unlock here and again everything seems to be pretty much finished so we'll go ahead and start with our application speed test now quick note obviously we're running different operating systems on each device we have Android on the right and iOS on the left the application that shows are made by the same developers there's will be some differences in the way they're written but it's the closest thing you get to a you know real-world test to see you know which ones gonna give you the better performance as far as you know the apps that you use on a daily basis so we'll start off with Flixter and I will go ahead and tap them at the same time if I can so one two three so the splash screen for some iPhone five and also it loaded first so when when it comes to boot up goes to the iPhone 5 will hit box office so one two three and again the iPhone 5 loaded up all the pictures little bit faster than the galaxy s3 did go ahead and tap on a movie so we'll do a will be an end of watch so we'll tap on this guy and seemed a little bit faster than iPhone 5 again but that was really close the galaxy s3 made a little transition animation which may be part of the reason why it seems slower we'll go ahead and hit home now take note that I am pressing home so I'm minimizing the applications on both the iPhone 5 and iOS multitasks a little bit differently than the way Android does Android more or less has it running in the background where iOS pauses it but I'm going to take that into account when I actually am done with all the application you know test I'll run them all over again to see if the multitasking on Android makes a difference so let's go to the next application for now which is score Center and again load it up a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 Galaxy s3 is done now so let's go ahead and go from tab to tab so I'll swipe over again solve the content first on the iPhone 5 I've got to add first even on the iPhone 5 and I felt listings and then MBA scores so overall the iPhone 5 has been faster in the first two apps let's go ahead and look at the third app which is dictionary this time it looked like it was a little bit faster than the galaxy s3 we even got a little pop up but I moved by a millisecond but about the same I will go ahead and hit home and let's go to Instagram and I see I have no photos upload is go ahead and tap on this tab right over here and uh pretty close I think that the image is populated a little bit faster on the galaxy s3 and take you know into account that we're seeing much more content on the galaxy s3 than we are on the iPhone 5 you know Instagram has been optimized for that bigger screen so it's running in a letterbox mode right now so we're getting a hit home on that go to Temple Run so again splash screen first on the iPhone 5 asked me to sign up for something I'm going to hit disable for now we still see the little load up screen faster even though I had to go through that pop-up galaxy s3 is still running and there you go so fast on the iPhone 5 in this case once again let's go ahead and go to Google Earth so let's hop on earth solve first on the iPhone 5 it's zooming in looks like the galaxy s3 just content sitting there I don't have it you know pinpoint on the city this one's loading up Las Vegas so let's go ahead and type in New York so New York and we'll do the same on here New York hopefully goes in New York City but you know I'll just type in city just in case New York City New York City and we'll hit search the same time 1 2 3 and basically we're going to see which one actually renders up the image of New York a little bit faster so looks like the galaxy s3 is going a little bit faster on both soon to be down squad and zoom in so we'll try zoom in at the same area and then you see the renderings a little bit faster in the galaxy s3 the iPhone 5 is just finishing up now so galaxy s3 I'd have to give it the win in Google Earth and let's go to messages this see know how quickly the messaging app opens up I only have like one message thread and my galaxy s3 and I don't think I have any in my iPhone so tap it and they're about the same so go ahead and hit home and the more interesting test probably is going to be the camera test now which phone is going to allow you to capture those Kodak moments better we'll go ahead and tap camera at the same time so 1 2 3 and definitely a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 you know I saw the viewfinder a little bit quicker so we'll get at home and like I said it's going to do in the beginning of my run all the tests in Reverse all the top will start with Flixter once again and I'm just gonna go quickly through it and you know let you guys be the judge of which one's faster so so for the most part you guys can see it seems to be pretty much the same that one lagged a little bit on Temple Run on the galaxy s3 but you know the multitasking doesn't seem to be making a difference so that's good enough for now let's go ahead and go to the next step so first time I just going to close out all these applications I might remove all on here and then show you that the applications are closed I'll go into the task manager you see zero active applications on the iPhone 5 I'm just going to tap on this and exit out of all these little applications here and now let's go to the browser the browser should be you know one of the biggest indicators as far as overall speed so we'll type in let's do phonebook comm first all right 1 2 3 so solve the logo first here and a little bit more of the content the pictures and this guy seems to be a lot done now the galaxy s3 is done so a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 note that they do render a little bit differently you know the galaxy s3 wasn't showing us anything and all sudden it showed us everything so wasn't as slow as it looked comparatively but let's go ahead and tap on an article right here and see if it makes a difference again content a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 got the ads and everything now the Galaxy s3 is done so we'll go ahead and go to another website we'll do New York Times all right 1 2 3 again a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 iPhone 5 is done Galaxy s3 is still going and now it's done so let's go ahead and tap on an article over here we'll do this one right here 1 2 3 again we're seeing the content a little bit faster on the iPhone 5 and it's done looks like this one went to like a mobile version where this one stay on our desktop it's still loaded faster so that gives you a pretty good idea as far as that let's do one more website will do engadget.com alright one two three and up even this little pop-up seem to be a little bit faster than iPhone 5 will it continue to and gadget it's all the content here first but that was pretty close in the actual load time will tap on this LG intuition review and that was really close again um I think the galaxy s3 probably loaded up a little bit faster in this case because I saw the notification bar up here it had a little circle going on the iPhone 5 which indicates that it's still loading up things in the background let's go ahead and run a benchmark because obviously you know these might may not be the websites you go to and sometimes you know when it comes to browser tests you know one one device will perform fast one or certain website and you know the other device will perform faster on another so we'll do a browser benchmark I accidentally hit a pop-up but we'll go to a browser mark I so I'm on the browser mark web page on both will hit run benchmark at the same time I'll go ahead and do you guys a favor and skip through this entire process so that way you guys can see the score at the end you all right so the benchmark test is done and pretty much how our you know web test showed the iPhone five disk or significantly higher than the Galaxy s3 with a score of one hundred ninety thousand five hundred and fifty four compared to a score of 110 thousand five hundred forty two obviously when you run the test you're gonna get different results you know sometimes this will be a little bit higher than 110,000 this one would be a little bit lower but for the most part you'll get consistent results as far as which one is faster or higher and that seems to be the iPhone 5 definitely you know it's the winner here in this test even though a lot of tests were closed in the boot of test 1 2005 most of the application suite tests went to the iPhone 5 and then the browser test 1 2005 now I'm not necessarily saying the iPhone 5 you know hardware is faster than the galaxy s3s you know I think a big part of as to do with iOS 6 and the optimizations it has but until you know the galaxy s3 gets jellybean which is gonna be in the next couple of months we'll have to you know say that iPhone 5 is faster and again I'll be running the test later so subscribe to the channel if you haven't already hit the like button if you found this video helpful but it's pretty much it for me in this video thank you for
