Galaxy Nexus VS iPhone 4S! Which device is for you?

[thedudely1]

Call from Millan

[PhotographerMN]

What about battery life? Driving navigation? does Go payment card reader work on this phone?

[KanadeYagami]

@PhotographerMN Having an Android phone means having Google Maps, which is currently the best navigation system one can have one a phone and as manufactures learn that bigger batteries need to be standard the battery life will increase as well.

[automotive1981]

Lol iPhone is shitty t

[EHHNURGEE]

how is the battery?? my fellow canadian

[AppleDude1010]

Go iPhone!!Im actually watching this on my iPhone 4S right now

[stevenojops]

BOTH

[jorgenieto702]

fuck this idiot guy he is a iphone shit fan

[TheTechtainian]

@jorgenieto702 I use a GNEX, but you wouldn't care to listen to the end of the video would you?

[TheBigclow]

You did a great review and this is the most intelligent thing the asshole could say above.

[ViVendettaHD]

@jorgenieto702 And you sound like an iPhone hater :p

[jorgenieto702]

iphone shit

[IXLAZYMANXI]

Iphone is shit, its only good if you got apps.

[DonnyDon90]

when you swiped down the notifacation on the iphone i thought i was losing my vision lol then realized you blured it

[TheTechtainian]

@DonnyDon90 HA

[freanklin416]

If ur a real gamer buy a gaming system -_- just saying

[djzikario]

U in NYC bro?

[TheTechtainian]

@djzikario Nope, Canada

[rotje17]

Could you do a test with google chrome beta?

I think that if you should compare that with iPhone browsing it could become interesting!

[amajlesi]

Fuck the galaxy shit. IPHONE 4S IS THE KING OF ALL PHONES!

[iCore3]

You should do an updated app comparison for android vs iOS. Most of the apps in the video weren't even optimized for Android 4.0 yet. Kinda dumb you reviewed apps without mentioning that android 4.0 had only been out for about a month when you shot this.

[MrOldeastdallas]

I have an iPhone 4s and an HTC EVO 3D. I thought the iPhone screen was glass so I decided to don't put a screen protector and now is scratched. However, on my EVO 3D the screen is scratch free, no scratches and no screen protector. I want to trade my iPhone for that Galaxy Nexus Prime.

[TheTechtainian]

@MrOldeastdallas I have had the opposite problem. I had an iP4 and I never used a screen protector and the screen is mainly scratch free. But my gnex has a bunch of scratches. :(

[metalhotdog]

You can buy movies on 4s too :p

[TheTechtainian]

@metalhotdog Ya but you can do that on the android market also

[survivorevil]

@FullM3tal7ack3t Then dont even talk when u dont have idea how their products work. You totally sounded like a fanboy

[marvs4u31]

use fruit ninja hd on adroid. see who crispier

[TheTechtainian]

@marvs4u31 Ya but heir in lies the problem. Fruit Ninja HD Costs more and I have to pay twice just to get the optimal user experience.

[Subzyr0]

I bet Milan was angry with you..

[TheTechtainian]

@Subzyr0 Ha Ha I was angry with him ha

[looniboy]

@TheTechtainian Milan wanted his Galaxy Nexus back lol

[MrKristersz]

Samsung are best!

[Natmossbim123]

I'm in Thailand. The 3G is poor compared to that of western comities. It also hovers between 3G and edge which is an even slower network. If I get the samsung nexus will Internet load quicker and function smoother than my I phone 4? Nexus has 1gig of ram, does it make Internet faster even with the poor networks in Thailand?

[survivorevil]

thats why i switched from a galaxy s2 to an iphone 4s. OPTIMIZATION

[5210supra]

Sounds like iPhones are dead!

[5210supra]

Sounds like iPhones are dead!

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

and iphone doesnt have multitasking last time i checked lol ^^

[survivorevil]

@FullM3tal7ack3t when was that? 2 years ago?

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

@survivorevilok dude tell me can you listen to music have the gallery and web browser open while playing a game on ios ?

[survivorevil]

@FullM3tal7ack3t ahh yes.. I can do that all that and even while im chatting on im+.I clearly see you havent had an iphone lately :)

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

@survivorevil you havent had an iphone lately .... of course not, i fucking hate iphone ^^ and yeah maybe i made a mistake, but that doesnt mean that apple is late with everything

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

you seriously sound like a fucking apple fnaboy i bet you even have a mac

[TheTechtainian]

@FullM3tal7ack3t Let me put this in perspective. I use a GNEX, I am not an apple fanboy just because I appreciate there products! THE WORLD IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE! I can like IOS and Android and point out the differences, pros and cons of both! and remember this MY OPINION! You are not forced to watch these videos, it is an opt in thing. Hope you enjoyed the video.

Cam

and yes I am a mac user

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

@TheTechtainian sorry i just didnt watch the whole vid ^^, and you cant say that you dont go to apple products more, than other companies :P

[Juiceboxx44]

I will admit the thing i really don't like are these apple fan boys who have these blinders on who think apple is the only company on the planet to even consider for products. When i told the fan boys in my break room i''m getting rid of my 4S they went banana's. Its quite entertaining to say the least.

[TheTechtainian]

@Juiceboxx44 (you get the same response as the other guy)

[KingXKok]

It does close

[ssvtcobra2006]

I'm surprised you left out the fact that the galaxy nexus is a 4G LTE device

[HaitiTechTV]

galaxy nexus sucks and i dont like iPhone,galaxy s 2 is the phone to get.im already on ice cream 4.0

[JorJorArmany]

iphone? put it a side alright, now the greatest and the most competitive is ANDROID & WINDOWS PHONE... iphone go away...

[aliwaqarhasan]

STUPID IPHONE...dont know why ppl still even consider it even after Galaxy s2..Galaxy Note...and Galaxy Nexus!...these phones have blown the lame iphone out the water...THERE IS NO COMPETITION between them!!!!...Just bcoz its made by a US company thats why it always gets compared to other phones....APPLE SUCKS...Come on ppl...open your eyes to Android...and see what it can do for u...The future is Customization!!!...NOT looking at a small dull screen filled with icons all day!!...Think abt it :)

[Juiceboxx44]

Had the iphone 4S for just over a month. Sent it to the curb and got the new galaxy nexus. I like it 1000x  more then the iphone. It really is personal choice there both are great phones but for me the nexus is the right fit for me.

[TheTechtainian]

@Juiceboxx44 GNEX is a great phone.

[TheLive310]

@Juiceboxx44 Since you had the iphone 4s and switched to the galaxy nexus so far which one of these phones have better battery life and which of these two phones are better for media like (music,social networking: facebook email)? please reply back thank you.

[torwauki7]

@Juiceboxx44 I would never trade my 4S 64 for this unwieldly beast. I did the pocket test, I'll give you 3 guesses as to which one was way more intrusive. The points he made for the nexus are nitpicky. The 4s is way better built (glass & steel vs plastic), sports a much more massive HD (at least 2x as much), and a far superior camera. His points for the nexus don't even come close the advantages on the 4S. iphone is also way more desirable, consistently fetching higher bids on ebay.

[rexside]

@torwauki7 iphone looks so boxy and old fashioned small screen. These days you need bigger screen for a better exprience. NO doubt apple makes great products. Its all about preference.

[TheLive310]

@Juiceboxx44 SInce you went from the iphone 4s to galaxy nexus did you experience any battery issues,volume issues, and storage issues with the galaxy nexus please reply back thank you

[deathshadow790]

you spend way too much time on optimization. of course its gonna be better on the iphone, its because there's only 3 iphones i believe. plus i dont even use my phone for games... focus on other things that matter like processors, RAM, screen resolution, network speed, camera recording... it goes on

[TheTechtainian]

@deathshadow790 I think optimization is really important! and yes of couse apple optimizes better, but thats a really important issue to raise. Because some people dont know about it. and yes you say talk about RAM, Processors and ect. But that is my exact point. With better Optimization you dont need as much ram or as much CPU POWER. Anyway this is coming from a proud Galaxy Nexus user. Who loves hes phone I am not hating I just tell the whole truth from all perspectives.

[exile28foo]

hows the battery been on the galaxy? thats probably my main concern

[TheTechtainian]

@exile28foo Its good, get through a whole day fine.

[SuperRLBProductions]

It's smoother on iphone because you have too much widgets and things like that on your nexus.

[yusuf9jf]

The verge app?? Is this in the US only

[TheTechtainian]

@yusuf9jf NO verge app, thats just a web link.

[yusuf9jf]

@TheTechtainian how did you get the icon to link?

[cpwaccount]

Power... what about power, which phone has the most processing power?

[TheTechtainian]

@cpwaccount Processing power is irrelevant, its about how the OS using that to create a good experience!

[87jsellers]

Android rules apple sucks

[TheTechtainian]

@87jsellers Troll

[MrJonnyfatman]

I don't get the point of his so called "break"

[nAKNIKia]

You would go for the galaxy nexus but i see that your personnal phone is the iPhone...

[nateshaunte]

We have an apple fanboy here.....

[Johhanna1000]

If I would have to choose one of them it would definitely be the Galaxy Nexus because it looks better (might not BE better, but it looks more professional and slim, and it's a bigger screen too :)) and I don't see any problems with Fruit Ninja?? I think it looks better on the Nexus! And you saw the web browser. Nexus' screen is much brighter and makes the Iphone's screen look yellow. Thumbs up if you prefer Samsung Galaxy Nexus in front of the Iphone 4s!

[kniven3]

Good Video. But build quality I say goes to Nexus! Just watch some drop tests. Most friends who have the iphone have had the screens break more than once!

[Baalund]

I chose G-Nexus.. Not only for the price but because android allows you to customize much more than Apple ever will

[Doped2k7]

@Al3xTrucho20 I'm sorry to hear that

[theagenereux]

Lmao. You know what I want to see.. a comparison of what a android rooted can do compared to the iphone. you cant do anything with iphone. Galaxy nexus way better

[CRutgerX]

also 9:00, your only reason being megapixels states you know nothing about cameras, which is a shame. iphone has better colors though, but that is because it has a better lens which lets in more light. and sure, 8mp is great if you want to use the photo as a lifesize poster =P If you compare results though, there is barely a noticable difference :P just google a professional test shot of both devices ^^

[CRutgerX]

I disagree at 4:00 when you say that overall gaming is better on the iphone, try most games llike GTA or other popular titles and youll find that the bigger screen is the only thing that is of importance between the iphone and nexus, moreso than the resolution. when u need 2 thumbs to play, on the iphone youll cover up 50% of the screen, blocking the action, which you dont have on the nexus.

[Al3xTrucho20]

Watched this on my sexy white iphone 4s

[ThatGuyDizzy]

Anyone ever told you that you sound a lot like Jessie Eisenburg from Zombieland?

[ncmorris1820]

I want a app store with good games but I perfer android and I know the app store has better games. PLEASE HELP WHICH SHOULD I GET!!!!

[badmanpadaman]

This guys is a idiot. The reason why the games feel and look better on the iPhone is because the game is only developed for a iOS device. Where as for android one game for example fruit ninja has to be developed for many other android devices i.e HTC Samsung se Nokia Motorola lg. So that's why the games don't really work as good as they do on iOS because the games are not made and tailored to one specific device.

[achangavi]

@badmanpadaman that's why you get a tegra device (:

[rubenflush]

You are just a apple fanboy.

[carbidutz]

So you need a break after 1.50 mins? Thats really lazy

[jazzisbetterthanall]

When you swipe an app in the mutli task in ICS it does actually close the app, it might restart by itself though.

[thejokeriscool55]

Thing that I dont like about nexus is its only got 16gb and you dont have the option of a bigger model like apple.

[weilwen]

@thejokeriscool55 32gb is coming

[carbidutz]

@thejokeriscool55 I can't imagine why you would need more than 16gb on a phone to be honest..

[thejokeriscool55]

@carbidutz Cause some people like a device that you can have music on your phone also.

[carbidutz]

@thejokeriscool55 more than 16gb? cmon..

[thejokeriscool55]

@carbidutz I can easily have 10 gig for music. 1080p HD video will take up space on this plus what ever apps/games I want to have on it. Also what if I want to put some films on it for when I go away for the weekend.

[carbidutz]

@thejokeriscool55 ohhh please man..i mean movies? its a phone man cmon stop exaggerating

[KanadeYagami]

@thejokeriscool55 actually the Galaxy Nexus does have a 32GB model, so there are two options.

[thejokeriscool55]

@KanadeYagami I dunno if its out in America but the 32Gb got cancelled everywhere else. Just google it and you will see

[Proximyon]

I have a Gnexus and i would be willing to trade phones with an iSheeple just to show how cool it is.

[getHULKsmashed]

try fruit ninja hd

[julius12x]

I disagree in 8:10 iphone 4 is not so fast like nexus! Nexus is more fast than the Iphone 4 XD

[MrMatz45]

Wow nice video, way better than al of those fanboys making videos on youtube trying to be "smart"

[UREoneIRS]

rogers YES canada

[XxManGOLovErxX]

I've heard that Samsung is going to begin using metals, and/or aluminum for their phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S3!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE PLASTIC

[xWOJT3Kx]

hello:)



[bossingkokey]

GN is a no brainer

[mrlbattle1]

It's new phone time for me I am on the G Nexus. My little girl will get the iphone that is more her speed. Win Win for both of us.

[kjhman]

great video. very informative. But saying that the camera and video quality on the 4S is "far superior" is a load of crap though. Some people feel its far superior on the galaxy nexus.

[kjhman]

camera quality on both is about equal. I took the same exact picture on the nexus as the 4s and nobody could tell them apart when pulled up on the computer screen.

[LOLcuber1]

iphone 4s



[IchigoKurosaki3713]

You made the right choice there buddy :3

[Defenda44]

nice but you need to fully charge them before testing.

[jeervega]

big apple fan but G nexus is way better

[SCFowler1175]

Well isn't it a phone first? No matter what you use it for primarily, its still a smartPHONE first. Overall good job on the video

[MFizzle777]

@The Thechtainian I agree, even the IOS 5 updates are all a rip-off of what Android devices has been doing fron a long time!

[SCFowler1175]

You didn't talk about call quality. You do know these are phones too right?

[TheTechtainian]

@SCFowler1175 Come on who really using these devices for phone calls, maybe 5% of the total time. But its fine on both.

[LilBastard2210]

You didn't talk about battery life. That's my main concern.

[TheTechtainian]

@LilBastard2210 Dont be concerned, both devices will take you through a day without problem

[MFizzle777]

G-Nexus for sure :-)

[TheTechtainian]

@MFizzle777 Its what I chose! Apple has to bring it with the iPhone 5

[xray174]

it would be nice if u double tap and got a card open on the iphone like web os

[TheTechtainian]

@xray174 Ya

[antipop198]

dumb.

[TheTechtainian]

@antipop198 Care to elaborate?

[thyp888]

@TheTechtainian the camera is better on the g. nexus

mega pixel count is fancy talk (do u know what megapixel means and with it is for?) the photo quality is better on nexus

[jononbass18]

Lol he's probably like "Damn it Milan nows not a good time "

[TheTechtainian]

@jononbass18 Ya afterwards I was like stop spam calling me.

[hermanson9000]

I want both!

[TheTechtainian]

@hermanson9000 like a BUAZ

[paralelmind]

I'm enjoying your videos, keep goin'

[TheTechtainian]

@paralelmind I will and sorry about be late to your comment, I have been really busy!

[YonManX]

I c'ant decide Apps Or customization .. :(

[xPerFeXioN]

@YonManX Jailbreak and u can have both

[LostMySauce]

@xPerFeXioN Lol you can jailbreak an iPhone and you won't go anywhere near what Android can do out of the box, let alone if it was rooted

[killdeslm]

Nexus 5mp, limited memory, battery guzzling screen. S2 expandable memory, getting ICS which is minor tweaks anyway, 8mp camera = S2 wins

[iKnowWhyNo]

Still can't decide what to take =/ I will buy a Camera too , so this wouldn't be like necessary for me , but i love the design of apple and the apps.

If buying the Nexus I could buy the camera right away but with the iphone I would have to wait until next year =/.

So, if my focus is on browsing , apps and social networks what should I pick ? Are both of them safe for updates for the next 2 or even 3 years ?

[Chileno4Live]

@iKnowWhyNo The apps experience on an Android device is not bad. As a matter of fact, Android Marketplace is closing in on Apple's Appstore, not to mention the fact that it is way easier to make an app for Android than for iOS because Google does not check and verify apps, which makes it easier for developers. Furthermore I would like to address that browsing and social networking is perfectly fine on any device. Same with browsing. Multitasking is a lot better on Android though.

hope I helped.

[devinotruth]

u don't no ish. On android u don't have to go out the app to change setting. Were iPhone u need to go out the app then the settings app then back to the app it self. Wack. They both have their goods and bad

[TheTechtainian]

@devinotruth I know you can change settings within app on android, did I say otherwise.

[devinotruth]

Gs2 was the best. Not any more

[ashipod13]

if you are going to compare an android device, it has to be the galaxy s2 because it has been voted the best android device

[BugattiNinja]

on the galaxy nexus you need to download the HD version for the Galaxy Nexus because it has an HD screen

[TheTechtainian]

@BugattiNinja Yes I know but thats the exact problem I am talking about. All these different version of apps and what If I get a new phone next year that has a 1080p screen or a 2k screen. Will I need to pay again or something. Thats the iPhone advantage I am talking about.

[BugattiNinja]

@TheTechtainian Well for the iphone you only have one screen size. But the G-Nexus has a 4.65" HD screen. and anyway if you get a 1080p screen phone you just keep on using the HD version

[safiqureshi98]

@TheTechtainian If the iPhone comes out with a 4" 1280x720 display, then it will have the same problem. When the iPad originally came out, it had the same problem, but it took only a few months for the problem to virtually disappear. The only reason why the iPhone hasn't had this problem, while Androids have, is because Apple hasn't updated the iPhone much. I mean it's still the same display size as the original one.

[BugattiNinja]

Galaxy Nexus

[ckorweng1]

bro, your videos would be so much better if the audio quality was better. no jokes.

[billyrouth1]

ha ha the iPhone looks like a kids toy next too the Nexus

[TheTechtainian]

@billyrouth1 Ha, maybe but it FEELS like a mans toy. iPhone 4S/4 is still the most solid device I have ever held.

[AZN8010]

apple svcks d!ck

@AZN8010 FANBOY

[thaddeusgalkowski]

Good video!

[TheTechtainian]

@thaddeusgalkowski Thank You!

[pixelatedjoe]

But why didn't the Note make the cut??

[TheTechtainian]

@pixelatedjoe Mainly because, its just simply massive and I feel its in a weird place. I dont see a main reason to pick a note over a nexus.

[shobyvinci]

samsung galaxy S2 (Hercules) beats both, (honestly)

[TheTechtainian]

@shobyvinci Disagree, I could see the argument for the international GS2 but considering the herc does not have an exynous. I dont think soo, the exynous is very well optimized for sammys gingerbread build. But from what I have seen the snapdragon is not soo well optimized. Plus You aint gettin no jellbeans!

[PillzBerry27]

You being honest on your opinion. Are you going to do a video for smartphone of the year?

[TheTechtainian]

@PillzBerry27 Thats a good idea, I may.

[mrlbattle1]

I got the nexus and love it

[TheTechtainian]

@mrlbattle1 It really is a great phone.

[backdoorman1971]

great vid boss

[TheTechtainian]

@backdoorman1971 Thanks a lot. You people are the people that keep me coming back, sorry I have not been posting daily. Been super busy lately, posting an update video soon. Hint: CES 2012
