Nokia Lumia 900 vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

2012-04-03
hey guys this is adam lane with pack now calm and in this video we are going to prepare a few aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on verizon with the Nokia Lumia 900 on 18t let's check it out all right first up let's do our boot up so I'm going to try to get both of these at the same time and we'll see how long it takes them to start up a while we wait let's talk about the prices Galaxy Nexus is available on verizon for three hundred dollars with a two-year contract whereas the Nokia Lumia 900 is available from 84 $99 with a two-year contract this is you can also find this on amazon for like one sent with the contract where's this one you can find on the Amazon for a 99 so the nokia has two already finished booting we're going to wait a little while for the galaxy there we go now let's look at screen resolution I've got the same picture loaded on both of these devices let's just tilt them to get them and when you look at them side-by-side you can tell a difference but if you look at them one at a time it's really not too noticeable and the Galaxy Nexus has a 720 HD Super AMOLED screen whereas this one is the nokia is just a clear black AMOLED screen with 480 x 800 pixel resolution this one is 720 x 1280 so we've got a lot more pixels over here now when you look at them close up under a microscope you can see even more of a difference and if you look at them outdoors we see both of them with highest brightness levels are both really quite visible outdoors next up let's look at the browser both of these are on a Wi-Fi network so they should have similar speeds and let's visit pocket now okay here we go and it looks like the Lumia is in the lead lumia is done this by the way have uninstalled flash so you shouldn't be concerned about flash slowing this down and we have an ad so let's zoom in we can see both are very smooth and zooming you see this one is a has to load a lot see some blank areas there all right let's click on this first link that time the Android a tad went faster but both seem to be finishing very smooth there of that one had some blackberries are now let's go for some HTML 5 speed tests you might think this is biased because Microsoft made these html5 demos but you can visit this on your desktop and look at the source and see that they are quite unbiased select this to the fish ie tank there we go and you can see the framerate is going to be calculated up here we're going to 48 frames per second over there and 21 over here 22 so definitely more choppy there let's try another one speed reading we're getting 27 34 37 frames per second and over there we're going to eight now another thing about these phones they're both on LTE networks so I've just shut off Wi-Fi and we're going to start our bandwidth testing programs naturally your results will vary this is on verizon the sun 18t so we've got differences their network speed you've got differences in network speed depending on your location so we see we have 4G reception there and we have 4G reception here and let's do a begin test so we're getting three point three four point eight let's go and hire five so 3.3 2 megabits per second over there on ATT kind of a slow upload here I'm verizon so we've got 5 download 1.5 upload 3.3 download and one upload let's look at the history and we see a lot of close to five we see it close to nine over here and the threes we have five and eight seven there was a nine one time so on average they're pretty close in the LTE speeds now let's look at starting up a nap will do Angry Birds so let's see how quickly they do it a little bit faster on the Galaxy Nexus need the sound and then you'll notice some differences here because of the high resolution screen we have much smaller buttons on the Galaxy Nexus very quick there same speed that was a little bit of loading there and again with the resolution you see much much different view and slightly different graphics that time we won over here a little bit faster on the Lumia let's see how it goes both very smooth with the angry birds now here's another thing there's our buttons again very very tiny I feel like I need a stylist for these words over here nice big buttons and that's because of the screen resolution difference next up let's look at the camera launching speed so let's get both of these at the same time Lou me it was a bit faster and now let's try to do a shudder at the same time the Galaxy Nexus definitely faster with the shutter both devices have great performance with a very significant difference in price build quality I'm going to give the winner to the Nokia this feels very solid this feels a little cheap I mean this is our around it's super well built and hardware we have pretty close to the same thickness and size pretty close to the same intimate speed with LTE now what about battery life this guy the Nokia seems to get consistently around 36 hours of battery life so you see I still have a day left whereas this one usually gets about 16 hours or much less if you leave a certain program running like facebook so i'm going to say better battery life over here it doesn't have as many pixels to push it has only a single core 1.4 get hers processor where's this is a dual-core 1.2 gigahertz processor and it has a lot more pixels on the screen so that can slow things down and take up more battery so overall most of the aspects are pretty close too close to call except for a screen resolution Galaxy Nexus will win on that camera screen I think the Galaxy Nexus will win most of the time so that's it for our comparison between the Nokia Lumia 900 on 18 TLT and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on verizon LTE give us a thumbs up if you liked this video and that's it for now you
