hey everybody its Craig with another pocket now face off again for a world dual core domination this time we've got a new challenger the Motorola Atrix 4G up against our reigning champ the Samsung Galaxy s2 alright let's kick off our face off for world dual-core domination we're gonna run through some specs we're going to boot up both of our contenders and check for available RAM when we run the quadrant smart bench and lint pack protests we're going to do our own unofficial speed test while they're gaming comparison as well as wrap this up with our browser comparison all rights kicked this off motorola atrix 4g weighs in at 136 grams it's got a four inch qHD capacitive touch display resolution of 540 by 960 offers Gorilla Glass you've got a front-facing VGA camera upper left-hand corner and for touch sensitive keys below the display May Menu key home key back key as well as search key all right our reigning champ galaxy s2 weighs in at 116 grams definitely the lighter of the two offers a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED plus capacitive touch display resolution of 480 by 800 also offers Gorilla Glass upper left-hand corner 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and below the display you have two touch sensitive keys a menu key back key as well as one physical home key all right as far as cameras Atrix 4G offers a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus dual LED flash geo-tagging as well as image stabilization video capture is 720p at 30 frames per second galaxy s2 offers an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus LED flash touch focused geo-tagging face and smile detection as well as image stabilization video capture is 1080p and 30 frames per second the battery on the Atrix 4G the monster 1930 milliamp hour battery rated at 9 hours of talktime galaxy s2 1650 milliamp hour battery rated at 8 hours and 40 minutes of talktime on 3G memory card on the Atrix 4G is hot swappable on the galaxy s2 it is not alright let's get these babies back over and centered talk about memory atrix 4g comes with 16 gigabytes of internal storage one gigabyte of ram on the galaxy s2 two versions one with 16 gigabytes of internal storage one with 32 gigabytes of internal storage both come with one gigabyte of ram and on both phones you can increase internal storage and additional 32 gigabytes to the use of a microSD card as far as processors atrix 4g comes with in videos one Giga our Tegra 2 dual-core processor on the galaxy s2 it's Samsung's Exynos 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor operating system on the Atrix 4G Android 2.2 Froyo galaxy s2 it's Android 2.3 Gingerbread user interface on the Atrix 4G is motoblur and on the galaxy s2 it's Samsung's TouchWiz 4.0 for us get things started by booting up our two contestants and see how much RAM of it is available after they boot the galaxy s usually boots up pretty quick HX 4G is never in too much of a hurry to boot what's important is how much RAM is available once we get there so let's find out galaxy ass is just about done all right going to settings applications running services give that a minute it's showing 604 megabytes of free right now 647 there we go 647 640 and still waiting on the Atrix 4G all right let's unlock it go into settings me want applications there we go running services all right 566 and 52 so around 610 let's let it settle we're at 6:38 megabytes of free RAM on the galaxy s2 what's its matrix settle down you slip at 49 and 65 it's for 540 so you worried about 540 on the 545 50 on the Atrix 4G and 638 on the galaxy s2 so there's definitely more available ram after boot on the galaxy s2 alright let's run the quadrant center benchmark tests on Atrix 4G in galaxy s2 got a good clean start alright let's take a look at our scores on the quadrant Center benchmark test and on the Atrix 4G a score of 26 30 and on the galaxy s2 a score of 30 177 so our quadrant standard benchmark test winner is the galaxy s2 all right let's run our smart bench test go clean start on both again alright we have our results and it looks like we have a split decision in productivity index the galaxy s2 4350 versus 28 58 so big win there for the galaxy s2 games index Atrix 4G at 24 59 verses 21 89 on the galaxy s2 so split decision alright last but not least Lim pack Pro for Android on the back mark on both of these and the galaxy s2 came back the winner of 46 megaflops forty six point nine three nine and one point seven nine seconds versus thirty six point eight one seven megaflops in two point two eight seconds on the Atrix 4G all right let's run our own unofficial speed test advanced task killer it's called a background task Heron will trial try B's accurate as possible calendar that was definitely the Atrix 4G Maps I believe that was the galaxy s2 but that was very close settings both instantaneous what settings text messages that seem to be the galaxy s2 Gmail that seemed to be the galaxy s2 market galaxy s2 let's try what do we want to try let's try two cameras on both definitely the galaxy s2 let's try third-party movies again that was a galaxy s2 as well so it looks like our unofficial speed test winner is going to be the galaxy s2 which is fitting with the other tests we ran all right let's try a little gaming I've turned off the lights hopefully give you a little better view of the graphics we're gonna load raging thunder - I'm gonna do a lap on both I can't guarantee entertainment value out of that give you a chance to see how they load and looks like they load about the same just a little quicker but my finger might have been a little quicker we'll start with the Atrix 4G they got I'm doing this for camera lens so all right the bath bed all right let's try the galaxy s2 we got taken out there huh all right looking a little gaming on both of our combatants alright let's wrap up today's pocket out faceoff with our four world dual core domination between the Atrix 4G and Samsung Galaxy s2 with our browser comparison I've got that had the display set on automatic brightness through the entire face off I've gotten both running off the same Wi-Fi network I've got flash enabled on both they both been updated to Adobe Flash 10.3 and I clear the cache and history on both so I think that's enough chatter let's put these guys to their paces and we'll start with Engadget as soon as I can find it there it is own one and there it is on the other and we're off then they're both good out of the box looks like the Galaxy S there's a little bit of a lead while there goes the Galaxy s2 is done and as you can see smooth as butter titania is supposed to be smooth as silk whatever you want to call it it's very smooth double tap to zoom in alright HX 4G is done also pretty smooth not as smooth but up there look at that definitely a better showing in the optimus 2x double tap to zoom in pinch to zoom no problems double tap to rewrap reformat the text double tap to zoom all the way out look I got the story didn't want to do that let's go back double tap to zoom out very responsive matrix good showing any rendering issues doesn't look like it galaxy s2 again looks gorgeous very very smooth of the two it's definitely the smoother of the two if that's proper English alright let's head over to pocket now on our two combatants here and there it is on one and there where is it on the other I know you're right here come on there we go and we're off Oh gave a little head start to the Atrix 4G see if we can take advantage of it doesn't look like it's going to happen again the galaxy s2 is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and it the browser is extremely quick although here comes the Atrix 4G they're up to the point where it's loading the flash so we're gonna see which dual-core processor handles it the best and again it was the Galaxy s2 and as you can see it's again smooth as silk double tap to zoom in absolutely no she's very responsive very fluid and we're still waiting on the Atrix 4G to finish loading the flash I think it's just about there there we go got the whole page and again you can see it's not as fluid but not too bad double tap to zoom in double tap to zoom in there we go you can see it's not as fluid as it was before at all and again there's a lot going on on this page for it to handle and it's definitely having some issues handling it and when compared to you can see how smooth and fluid the galaxy s2 is let's go to the article itself see how that loads on both I think it looks like it's gonna be the galaxy s2 although here comes the Atrix 4G neck and I think it's gonna be a galaxy s2 it's got the flash already loaded yep galaxy s2 again and again extremely fluid as you can see still waiting on the Atrix 4G bottom line I think our winner again and still champion dual-core supremacy the galaxy s2 another great faceoff for pocket now again it's been Craig hope it's been helpful take care
