hi there this is adam lane from paki now calm and we're wondering why does Windows Phone seem faster than some of the high-end android phones out there let's check it out turns out Windows Phone employs a few little tricks that make it seem faster to the user even if the actual task may take longer to complete first up let's look at the lock screen as soon as you start sliding upwards lock screen images instantly responsive and as soon as you're done it's instantly finished compare this with the galaxy s3's on locking mechanism I swipe your finger across the water but my home screen doesn't appear until a split second after i finished the water ripple gesture what about when it comes to launching certain built-in functions of both phones when i touch the people tile on Windows Phone the tile instantly responds to my touch you can see it tilt in space as if it is literally being touched and when I let my finger up the other tiles instantly fly away while the people have listing loads this instant response is what gives Windows found the feeling of speed look at the same function on the galaxy s3 if you look closely there's not instant response to my finger touching the icon this response clearly happens after my touch is finished it does lo the intended action faster than the people have blows on Windows Phone but the perception is that there is lag in some cases there really is some lag though for example if I'm already in some other app and I want to go to the home screen I'll press the home button again if you look closely the software doesn't respond to the button press until later windows phone on the other end it starts responding instantly yet takes a bit of time to finish its animated transition though you'll see that Windows Phone has the same kind of lag problem when loading beam from the search button of course this galaxy s3 is still running the old Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and things could certainly be different with jellybean just as things could certainly be different with Windows Phone 8 running on modern dual-core hardware still it's interesting to see how some subtle design change is connect such an effect on perceived speed thanks for watching and don't forget to give this video a thumbs up
