hey everyone it's jeff Rena with pocket now calm and it's time for a test in this video of our software overview part 2 we're going to pit the samsung transform against its big brother the samsung epic 4g going to run a browser test check out youtube look at the screens the overall brightness that sort of thing so let's get started and we're back and actually jumping directly into the youtube test one thing to notice here is actually the keyboard difference between the samsung transform in the samsung epic 4g or lack thereof there's actually no difference in the keyboard at all besides some of the size simply because of the 3.5 inch screen that the samsung transform has now we've actually already typed in the pocket now videos we can pull up the channel so we're going to do that now these are on the same exact Wi-Fi network with nothing running in the backgrounds are actually fresh boots on both of these so it definitely pulled up faster on the samsung epic 4g now we're going to actually pull up the top video which is a windows phone 7 comparison video i'll turn these side by side now there was the difference i wouldn't say it was a deal breaker difference but that definitely showcases the different processor that the epic 4g has once again though the transform is 800 megahertz processor which is by no means last generation or left in the dust one great element about the samsung transform is that it actually does not include the samsung touchwiz UI now if you use TouchWiz in the past it's either you like it or you hate it there's no in the middle with this now I just see here the epic 4g has touched with so if you actually go to the applications menu it actually will scroll left and right and it's very people call it kitty looking it's very almost iphone asked in terms of the actual icons as you see here now the home screen does give you your seven different home screens as you see here left and right the ball will actually change at the top so you have the seven home screens here now the samsung transform does not have the samsung touchwiz UI it actually uses the Sprint ID so it's not going to give you that iphone ask childlike appearance as you bring up the typical menu drawer it actually looks very similar to froyo of course nottis is android 2.1 but it does look similar so you'll have your typical appearance here of your normal android apps and you will have the five home screens one being in the middle two to your right and then two to your left if you so choose to use those now one of the last software comparisons we're going to do between the samsung transform in the epic 4g is going to be a browser test so actually going to bring up pocketnow com this of course something we like to do a lot this will showcase the speed of the processor when it's actually able to load a desktop version of a website so we already have them both queued up and you'll see the epic 4g did load at first it's actually not fully loaded yet it's actually still rendering now the transform hangs a little bit here there we go so actually if you look at these two status bars they were actually almost identical where they were they set but it has to load the actual banner ad in that sort of thing and that's where really what's loading right now in the samsung transform but you you can still scroll here so it's not going to be a bad experience there at all once again it's still at 800 megahertz processor but it's still a fast processor it's by no means slow so it does somewhat keep up with the epic 4g all right so now we've loaded the full website we can actually pinch to zoom here so we'll actually pick this up and we'll show you how how smooth that is or not smooth depends on your personal opinion so it's not going to be smooth like butter one hundred percent however it's very very easy to still browse we can actually pick this article here and you'll see it's actually going to open up the page for us so there's been a quick look at the browser on the samsung transform the next and final video in this series will actually be our final thoughts on the samsung transform so be sure to stay tuned for the final review if you've enjoyed this video please leave us a thumbs up or a comment thanks for watching everyone
