Galaxy Note 7 (2016 "building crusher") vs iPhone 6S (1 year old phone) Speed Test :mjpls:

[skylake]

at the lap. This shouldn't make any Note 7 users lose sleep at night though. You probably won't even notice the lapse if you're not holding another phone in your hand.

It's crazy that an "old" phone with relatively low specs can keep up and outperform a brand new device even when factoring in the obvious differences in architectures, OS, coding language, etc.

How did the 6p do?

Article from xda: The Note 7 Still Delivers Embarrassing Real-World Performance

We have tested the application launch times, both hot and cold, of the Note 7 under the same conditions as our other devices and found it trailing behind not just other Snapdragon 820 phones like the OnePlus 3 and HTC 10, but also the year-old Nexus 6P running on Android’s latest preview.

Dat TouchWiz

Isn't this just another reason to buy an iPhone? Or do you enjoy an inferior software/OS/hardware combo? Let me guess....it's about the freedom Breh. The freedom to install battery draining shytty non-memory optimized applications.

And isn't shytty TouchWiz's Samsung's way of closing Apple's tight hardware & software integration?

This shyt is embarrassing as far as I'm concerned. Samsung's Flagship phone getting dominated by a phone that's a few weeks away from being replaced.

The only thing I miss about my brief Android experience was Tasker. It's the only reason I've thought about going back. It won't be a Samsung though. That's for sure.

You have that backwards, Android is actually the superior software in a lot of ways. It was originally created with the prosumer in mind, while iOS was always intended for the consumer (i.e. it's prettier to look at it and simpler to use).

Be a fan of whatever but never confuse the power of the two.

Man I still use a Nexus 5 (the OG one) it runs everything I need to hastily.

I use my Google aps such Drive, Inbox, Notes, all the stuff I need efficiently.

I play Clash of Clans and Pokemon Go here and there and they run just fine.

What is y'all fascination with specs and speed etc when y'all probably never use the shyt to max potential anyway? Like what are y'all trying to achieve? Cooking bread with your phones or what? shyt is Fanboy culture. I use my phone as a fukking phone, sometimes gaming, and then organizer for life.

Your first paragraph doesn't support your second. Power != better and everyone's interpretation of the better OS is subjective.

Android is powerful as hell and dope for the freedom, but will never be able to be totally optimized due to how it's distributed (between multiple carriers, manufacturers, etc.). IOS is optimized as hell and dope for its "just works" simplicity and consistency but it's closed nature will never allow it to be extremely open for the masses (disregarding jailbreak) because of how it is designed .

It's basically comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended) and you essentially have to decide what's your preference and pick your poison.

I think it's basically boredom from both sides I said in another thread, phone wars are pretty wack when people try to shyt on others for their preference rather than discussing the actual technology (which can be very interesting).

Never saw the hype about Droids

Every one I ever used was always glitchy and slow

I am THE prototypical power user. I program, I do UI/UX, I live in terminal/putty when dealing with anything node related, I manage my calendar and my projects like a god damned maniac, heavy on messaging (Slack mostly) and I rely on one computing device or another for 99.9% of the work I do.

The iPhone let's me look at my Google Analytics, check on servers, answer emails, adjust my calendar, do my banking, take calls from clients, message on the superior Slack client/app, control the lights in my home, easily push things back and forth to and from my other OS X and Mac OS devices, occasionally use a ftp client app, use google drive and it wakes me up in the morning. And unlike Android it does it FAST and unclunky.

I'm the exact type of client that Google would love to convert.

Please let me know how Android is going to make me more "prosumer" than that. I don't game so I don't care about any of that. And I also don't care to have 3D wallpapers and make my buttons purple and to change the font to graffiti.

Our use cases are surprisingly similar (I'm on iPhone too). It's a common misnomer that most consider downloading and having expandable storage as the litmus test for power usage when that barely scratches the surface of what any of these devices can do.

Ehh negligible difference. Benchmark test arent all that important when the phones are so similar in that regard. S7 is the better phone, especially considering the S7 has a universal NFC reader, SD slots, more RAM, water resistance, fast charge, etc.

S7 has a better display, better battery, and better camera. Only downfall is the price.

It has more RAM but Apple's engineers still make the iPhone perform better with less RAM. Plus the A9 processor still laps up the competition one year later..

Cmon, B

My experience with iPod touch 5g alone deters me from ever owning iPhone. Shyt was butter smooth for 4 months, the lag crept in, awful iTunes sync issues, and worse of all the battery went to shyt. Charge from zero to full in 15 minutes, but 2 songs in and your at half. 20 minute use and you're in the red.

I can only assume the iPhone tech is vastly different or superior. The battery thing I can work around if I'm at home or in the car. But syncing issues were a nightmare. I haven't added music since 2014. Paperweight status now.

I'd guess iTunes has gotten better or something because I remember when I had my iPod years ago, I had hella random syncing issues too. I went to CopyTrans first, then I'd have to randomly do a full reset to be operational. I went to the Zune and never turned back (until it got discontinued)

I don't believe that android was created with a different purpose than the iOS

they weren't thinking about the prosumer anymore or less than iOS was.

professionals couldn't care less about stupid mods that most droid fanboys big ....b-b-b-b-but I can customize my phone how I want...look at this new font.
