hey guys jeff arena with pocket now calm and in this video going to give you a comparison of how well HTC Sense runs on the HTC wildfires bigger brother the HTC evo 4g so we'll make this video any longer let's just go ahead and jump right into it okay it's time to jump right into doing these software comparisons on these two devices here now as we've mentioned these are both running HTC Sense which is the same experience however the processor in the rim available under each device should make a difference and we're basically going to test that right now and see how much of a difference there actually is so the first test we're going to do is a browse your test go ahead and pull up each of these browsers and we're actually going to go to pocket now calm alright we're now going to press the enter button on both these devices at the same exact time as you can see the wildfire is showing a stronger wireless network so we'll see what happens they both are on the same Wi-Fi it looks like the evo is pulling ahead the evo is definitely loading it rendering the pictures faster all right now based on the status bar the Wildfire does look closer all right it looks like the evo did win the race the wildfire is still going here and what it's basically trying to render are going to be all the flash banners here and on the top of the page itself that's where it's going to really depend on the CPU to get that going so the main portion of the page loads no problem it's just the flash content that can be a little of an issue as you can see here there's a little hourglass still pending all right and they are now fully loaded it took the Wildfire about another three or four seconds so it wasn't too too bad overall I'd say the evil one by about ten seconds this is a pretty intense page to look at though in terms of the flash content the pictures that are on the page itself the logos etc etc now we're going to do is actually going to zoom in using the multi-touch support on both of these we're gonna see which ones are a little smoother and it seems that the Wildfire actually has a smoother I'm out arts to jerk up a little bit as smoother motion however as you can tell hopefully you can tell the screens while you're zooming in with the Wildfire is actually it's blurry the Texas blurry it's tough to see it has to actually render that text before you can read it and that's partially have to do with the processor as well as the screen resolution itself as you can see here it's still blurry and now it has to render it in terms of the general navigation you can press the home button to get the helicopter view we're gonna actually press these both at the same time right now and that was pretty comparable the evo does seem to pull it up a little faster however it's not going to be night and day another test we're going to do are some of these social networking application this is something that we like to typically test out because many of us use the Twitter applications the facebook applications etc and the whole point for doing this this sort of testing is to see if the faster processor the one gigahertz processor on the EVO is really having an upper hand over the 528 megahertz processor on the Wildfire common sense would say yes however some things are still going to load pretty close to one another as you've already seen let's go ahead and pull up Twitter and we're actually going to go to my profile and we'll see which one will load faster going to press these bowls at the same time now it looks like the Wildfire I did it sooner however we're now going to search for Brandon minuman and now we're also going to try the search functionality by searching for Brandon minuman on the Twitter application itself and we'll see Russia going to tap is at the same time we'll see we'll see which one actually pulls up the results under him faster and as you can see the evo actually moved the screen over faster but it looks like the Wildfire was able to actually bring the results up sooner and that may have to do with the fact of the Wi-Fi signal now once again the Wildfire is displaying full bars Wi-Fi whereas the evo is only displaying the three now mind you the wireless router is about 10 feet away from us so we are pretty much right on top of it and we are not getting full signal with the evo that may just be software or could be a hardware effect right there that's that's more or less inhibiting the performance on that point next up we're going to take a look at the facebook application and that's simply just going to be by loading my profile here and this time it looks like the evo did pull ahead it actually pulled over a little bit later but it was able to load the entire feed faster we've now gone ahead and moved into the YouTube application testing out the YouTube speed is one of the tests that we really like to do here and because this will show off the video rendering speeds as well as the data speeds itself of the device so let's go ahead and press PocketNow video did actually press the Wildfire a split second faster however the evo was still able to pull ahead and we're going to just pick any random video here we'll pick the very top one and we'll see which one actually is able to load faster looks like the wildfire believe it or not hold it up sooner now of course we were stuck with the loud volumes on both devices but it looks like surprisingly the Wildfire was able to pull up the video render the video sooner they are both doing it in HQ mind you some of that may have to do with the fact that the evil as a four-point inch screen the processor may have to fill up that screen fill up that canvas more than it does on the Wildfire and now it's time to test a video game application and to do that we're going to use one of our favorites which is the asphalt 5 game as you can see here the game lawful logo was very cut off ooh and unfortunately this device cannot support asphalt five now that's most likely going to be because of the screen resolution as you saw the logo itself was cut off so unfortunately you're going to miss out on some of the games in that sense and that's likely because of the resolution of this device so because we weren't able to test out asphalt 5 which was kind of a letdown we're going to go ahead and test out Teeter what should one of the applications that are included on both these devices itself I believe it comes with HTC sense by default so we're go ahead and touch she's at the same exact time looks like the wildfire is a little head here and basically it asked if I wanted to restart a game however we do not and it looks like the Wildfire was able to actually load it faster but if you look here it's very hard to play this through the camera but it seems almost a little jerky kind of like the ball is almost teleporting whereas when you play it on the EVO it is much smoother and the ball seems much more real it seems like the frame rate in this game is almost a little bit better on the EVO and that's going to wrap it up for the software comparison on the HTC evo vs the HTC Wildfire now the results weren't necessarily conclusive of course the evo did pull head and many of the tests if not all of the tests which was to be expected but unless you're a power user you're really not going to the difference itself so if you are a power user a device with a faster processor will really go a long way especially if you plan on browsing a lot looking at pictures watching videos playing video games the whole nine yards however this is going to be your first smartphone or your first Android device the Wildfire will definitely suffice for you but as you saw not every game unfortunate is going to be compatible and that's going to be because of the screen size and resolution the HTC Wildfire does have one very good thing going for it which is why some of the specs or a little lower and that's the price as an unlock device priced at only three hundred dollars you really can't complain there with what you're going to be getting the fact that you're not going to be in a contract and still only pay 300 hours for a real lative Lee top notch device is not bad at all stay tuned for our next video which will be the final video in this series and that will be our review our final word on the HTC hero as always please give us a thumbs up on this video and leave a comment with any suggestions or questions you may have thanks for watching everyone
