Samsung's own chip can't catch up either.

    Here we go again with another non-real-world test. Let's all open up a bunch of games and close them shall we? I have ZERO games on my phone, so I guess I can't play.

        Of course iPhone is faster. You're comparing a PC with consoles. One has a multi-purpose OS used by millions of different devices and the other one has a highly specialized and optimized OS that only runs on what, 3-4 sets of hardware? Of course it'll be faster. Lol?

          I know these test are just to give a glimpse or 'real world' feeling, but even in that case the producers of these videos should, at the very least, ask app manufacturers if the apps they are using have an optimized codepath for the architecture being tested. Maybe the S820 would perform much better with a different mix.

            You have a really good point and yes...ios uses all the resources that are out there while android just quickly start eating a lot of memory.

Ios is very strict with background processes ... background processes cause things like memory leaks (crashes) and battery leaks.

              It's the smart thing to do on phones, but not very smart on tablets (I often do more than one thing at once on a tablet, on an ipad it's hard to do that)

                of course that the ios apps are better optimized....i mean they have to work with like 20 devices....meanwhile android apps have to be compatible with every manufacturer(they are more than iphones out there)

Each has it's own strenghts and weaknesses. Comparing each other is a foolish exercise, as user experience will have the final say about performance of a given device, no matter what platform is.

                          What people fail to realize is that the S7 needs to push 4 times as many pixels as the iPhone. The 10s difference is very marginal, I'd even go ahead and say negligible when the resolution is put into picture.

                            Android users are really a pain in the a**. There is nothing you can do to please you android fans. Excuses i'm seeing here:
                            1. Screen resolution
                            2. Apps (Developers are not optimizing them right)...

                            Can you ever just accept that iOS is faster in some things and Android is better in some things as well. It makes ya'll look like ignorant kids that cannot get over yourselves because something was proven to you.

                              can't you see all of you just fooled with this nonsense they called " Technology "? 3 second faster 4 second faster, FOR WHAT? does it really helps you have a better life?

                                This test should not be run on different OSes, its completely pointless.
                                Yet even on the same OS, it could be pointless, the animation time for example plays a bigger role at this speed, that the actual capabilities of the phone, which is smth that can be changed on settings, so the end results is open to settings and not actual performance.
                                I would prefer videos that compare FPS on demanding games and apps, even on the the same OS, some may act differently depending on the optimization done for its resolution, or GPU etc.
                                And one last thing, the background freeze ios does, should not be called multitasking, thats misleading, malefic actually, ios cant multitask, freezing an app on the background is different than having it running simultaneously with the foreground app, thats why ios dont need more ram and multicores, but it cant actually use them, thats why it consumes less energy while browsing,because the ones on the background dont work, but they are freezed.
                                The test does give a feel of comparing phones on a store, but not actually owning them and use them...

It is like comparing 2 PCs - one with i7 6th generation and windows 3.1 OS Vs other with i7 4th generation and windows 10. Obviously, the former will be faster and useless. I will choose the second one any day even though it would be slightly slower but much for functional.
