22 September, 2012
The iPhone 5 made easy work of the competitors in browsing tests and its GPU did quite well, too.

          GPU must be on a weaker side though, I mean with around 20 percent less pixels to draw it can only manage about 4 percent higher frame rate than LG. I so hoped for a quad-core GPU set-up.

            So what was the test for the Android devices? Was it running ICS or was everything set in different OS.

              I'm a die hard android (SGS2) user - I just can't stand the comments by the android fans about why benchmarks don't matter when benchmark shows iPhone beat their android phones, but boast about their benchmark-topping flashy new android phones when the benchmark shows android coming up on top. It's just a damn phone. Get over it.

                    [deleted post]I'm not dumb because I didn't choose iPhone. I choose a smartphone not because of the hype, those are the features I need in my daily activities and at work. Yeah myshidroid and shitberry can still do things that an iphone cant.

                                        so it goes like this,the iphone 5 is faster than all the most powerful android phones in the market,it has the best app store in the market,its much much durable than galaxy s3 according to android authority drop tests,its gonna get software updates for the next 4 years which is 3 years more than an average high end android phone...but still it sucks i mean its an iphone so i have to say it sucks because i am a samsung fanboy!
