S7 Edge falls short to Apple's 6 month old 6S Plus in Speed Test

Exactly. And if you watch the test, it shows that he can't even complete the test a second time because the stopwatch app kept closing. That's a sign of shitty memory management courtesy of Samsung, not Android.

It's weird that the speed test seemed to be based primarily on read speed but the author is acting like it's a CPU comparison.

Thoughts so far on the S7 Edge?

Also, what phone did you upgrade from?

There is something to be said for the way Apple has implemented app integration vs. manufacturers of Android handsets. Add that to the fact that besides Nexus phones, most androids are very hit and miss when it comes to updates (I remember calling HTC asking when TF I was going to get Jelly Bean after waiting 3 months too long). Samsung always has gorgeous devices..it's just not a completely fluid OS that its working with as a result of touchwiz/bloatware


Good news is, as is inevitable, that Apple is becoming more like android, albeit slowly..at least in terms of features...and Android is slowly becoming more consistent with app updates and less crashing, more akin to Apple..better integration developers apps to performance of those apps individually and as a whole on Android.

I'm watching the video without sound, and he's measuring speed by hand based on opening apps?

You can adjust the transition settings on the galaxy line and all Android phones to make this faster

From best to worst....
