  • I've seen a few comments and I don't have time to read them all, but I say this test was already faulty because you can't tell what processes are running on the android before initiating the tests. The phones should both have been run as if they are out of the box, with a fresh wipe. In both cases, conditions are going to vary based on what functions are running on the phones. I can't support this video as accurate cause I see my girlfriends phone run faster than any page loads in this video.

  • Haha iPhone 4s had a late star on second test and still owned the galaxy. Haters will hate.

  • @TheJustincase4 Watch it again retard! Early start, and the guy speaking said late but actually started the iphone 4s early. Also There are 3 different builds of Galaxy S II that have varying hardware! The AT&T version is much slower than the T Mobile version. A proper review would include the 4 phones in a line, and show them with accurate starts with cleared cash and no installations on both phones. You're opinion is noted and broken!

  • well the iPhone 4s is Verison the GSII is T Mobile

  • this is not samsung galaxy s2 ... fucking fail...

  • @chmiel88 You are fucking retarded. You skipped ahead, he said at 3:33 that he was setting the GSII aside and doing a head to head with the original GS.

  • iphone 4s

    

  • iphone 4S

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, now get android 4.0 and test it...

  • they are both good phones...who gives a shit

    

  • @heyitsjuztin People who need better than good phones give a shit!

  • What is your wireless connection speed?

  • wtf thats not galaxy s 2

  • The iPhone is on wifi

  • @musicman543xyz they both are . . .

  • 4s kicks Samsung's ass.

  • @TheJasperkitty You explained your point very well, maybe someday you will be a president of US? They need people like you!

  • @Polish95Hero My skin is too light to be president. I wouldn't be able to promise all the ghetto dwellers free Android phones although most already have them.

  • is it my eyes or the iPhone image quailty crap? The Samsung's quailty is amazing.

  • Loaded faster on GS2, doesn't matter if the wheel is spinning as it MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! Web pages appear ~2 seconds faster each time on GS2. Iphone is faster because it has no spinning wheel, WTF?? NOOB VIDEO!

    HTC Zata will kill Iphones,

  • 5:19 he first clicked gsII and than click the 4s and the 4s still beat it... thats when you know 4s became flash

  • samsung looks way better!!  Maybe slower because it is loading a lot more. ??

  • Iphone 4s won :)

  • hahah thumbs up for iphone 4s :)

  • apple should give us a choice to overclock our iDevice because they underclock everything they have. 4s is at 700mhz, should be 1.7 ghz.

  • not on same network, unfair test

  • Iphone is better

  • dont you just love that dear little iphone screen.....notice how most of the website is out of screen on iphone but shows in the s2's bigger and better colour screen, iphone looks dull in this video ..........fact

  • Everytime iPhone wins these tests, the test was "shit" or "not fair". Come on they're just phones. The iPhone 4S is the best now, maybe not tomorrow. Not that big deal everyone buys whatever they wants, but this was clearly the iPhone. Sorry Android fanboys.

    PS. I got Galaxy Nexus myself.

  • clearly the iphone, i got the galaxy s2 then got rid of it within a week. im using the iphone right now and it is remarkably better

  • Android No.1, Windows phone No.2...where is fucked iCrap?

  • And btw, learn to work with android OS please.

    You have that sgsii full of shitty customization.

  • The sgsii has tons of background processes running during the test. Totaly unfair "comparison". Just look at the notification/status bar...

  • 235 androids fans --'

  • Super AMOLED Plus ??? Please watch carefully the AT&T S2 in this video and see how Green is that stupid display. I hope at lease the display of Galaxy Nexus which is 1280x720 will be more whiter than the AT&T Galaxy S2/Galaxy S2 Global (The T-Mobile Diplay is not bad).

  • Of course the 4S is faster :). I'm an android fan and I still don't have a Android phone or iPhone, that's because I'm waitng for android to release phone which will be "better" than the iPhone 4S, but I think I'll need lot of time to wait till that happen :D, so If I'm waiting and earn some cash, I'll buy the iPhone 4S. The 4S is better than any other phone on the market. The Super AMOLED Plus Capacitive Screens are nothing more than Green Shit

  • The first GS2 kicked butt.

    I don't get what happened with the second GS2.

    But its still a beast.

    Android is already neck and neck with iOS even with iOS getting a huge (years head start).

    BTW,... The two Androids were using the Gingerbread OS. Soooooo! Which is faster; GS2 w/Gingerbread or iphone 4 w/iOS4? GS2 w/ICS or iphone 4S w/iOS5?

    This video just proved the GS2 w/Gingerbread can still beat or hang with iphone 4S w/iOS5

    The vet seems to be slacking to let the noob catch it so fast.

  • and i believe the continued spinning wheel might actually be the browser rendering the page in the background for the "reader" option, because i'm able to browser the entire page and everything is loaded while the wheel is spinning..

  • @g30ffman have you tried fast scrolling? cuz if you do that, iphone4 will get checker box, that's why apple limited the scroll range, allowing it only to scroll a small part while the rest is still loading, that my friend is another dirty marketing strategy trick apple use :D

  • LOL everytime he loads the slashgear website on the iPhone it loads the mobile site first then he loads the full site and the iPhone still beats the damn Samsung.. So the iPhone can load the mobile then the full site faster than the S2 can even load just the full site... tsk tsk.. and yes the little spinning wheel in the status bar stops before the S2 finishes.. worthless..

  • LOOOOOL fandroids= self-denial

  • Omg stop comparing this shitty IPhone to all other phones. Iphone stayed far behind HTC (titan, sensation and so on), Samsung (galaxy series) even Nokia (Lumia), Xperia Arc... omg so many better than shitty Iphone for kids who wanted to rise up they social status.

  • thats the iphone 4 bitch

  • @SaraDiva001 than you have to buy an iPhone 4S (my opinion). I have one and the YT vids are loading very fast.

    But you have to decide by your own.

    Koala

  • I'm not interested in how fast a webpage loads. Both are loading faster than my computer usually does anyway. I wish they were tested at YouTube, to see how long they'll typically take to load a video and which looks/sounds better. That's where I want to put my money.

  • if u can see clearly on the top you'll see iphone still loading..... Apple is smart and makes you think the page is done

  • @pvinodchowdary yeah but the iphone 4s won anyway

  • Comment removed

  • who cares who's the fastest? Today people only care about household names. People who dont have any idea in technology pick the apple because everyone knows apple. Because of that fucking iPod why the apple is the famous in technology world!

  • Comment removed

  • Ok 4s won this one, but this its not about the phone gs2 it a great phone but ios5 optimization its much better than gingerbread. With ics the gs2 will look much fa

  • way better Gs2 than Iphone 4s

  • how da heck do u pepole think dat the iphone 4s is faster then da gs2 u crazy there both great phones its all about da OS nd which one u preffer for me ios5 is boring id rather go android or wp7

  • @ELxVATOxVATO course the iPhone is faster, u saw the video, the iPhone beat the galaxy s2 every time

  • Android fagboys are total gay should see that both operating systems have their advantages and disadvantages btw Html 5 performance in Safari is way better than Android

  • Calling someone a loser for choosing android over apple or viceversa is plain pathetic... life goes beyond your smartphone guys!

  • Android sucks. Apple rules. End of story.

  • pour south korean samsung fanboys, they are spining on the groun because ip4s is better phone than sgsII, is faster, sexier, more beatiful, has bettet camera, better OS, better app, the only thing that they can retry is the size of their screem, jajaja, what group of losers, jijijiji

  • @farith911 the big screen size is compensating lol

  • I am just APPLE HATERS!!! YEAY

  • The T-mobile galaxy s 2 doesn't even count with that s3 chip -_- exynos all the way FTW!!! Lol

  • look at all that stuff on the status bar for the samsung that is running in the background...lol...you can clear cache and history but if you don't close the programs that are running in the background then it defeats the purpose...blah

  • Here is a fair comparison between the two, skip to about 4:40 for the browser comparison. Here is the video: youtube.com/watch?v=CUkbUfQTKX­M

    :)

  • Why does this video go against what all the other fair (flash on gs2 off) videos I have seen on you tube? I mean, all the other galaxy s2 Europe vs iphone 4s with flash of I have seen show the galaxy s2 to be about the same if not a little faster.

  • Bloomberg's Jaroslovsky Reviews Apple's IPhone 4s. <-- type it above and you'll see that bloomberg's rich jaroslovsky test the iPhone 4s and GS2. he said that the iPhone 4s is much speedier than GS2. =)

  • Doesnt matter if you put three times more of a processor if you dont sinc everything perfect you will still have a slower phone...

  • wtf iphone 4s is so fk fast with online 1ghz i mean 800mhzx2

  • @Eddyjj24baller IMO they're jealous and just can't admit it. They actually convince themselves the iPhone is the world's worst phone.

  • @tomo0086 So very true.

  • Fake.

  • @TTzealousTT lol, pour loser

  • iOS failed xD it says it finished loading, the in notification bar, that small rotating circle indicates it'll still buffering in background, Apple, you sneaky bastard with your cheating marking strategy

  • @Rayz093 lol even with that only once the gs2 finished before the iphones rotating circle stopped.

  • @Eddyjj24baller im sure he was using two different wifi connections So the iphone would finish faster. There is no way the galaxy would move that slow it has 50% more processor speed tha the iphone. And he cheated in the other video so how can u trust a cheater

  • @yesyesmanable buddy you need read more about samsung (south korean industry) phylosophy,

    they care more on put lastes hardware in their machines, but not in optimize

    the performance or efficiency, apple its lights years way in that sense,

    thank.

  • @Rayz093 that's the refresh page button....

  • Lol, who cares? The pages load faster on the iPhone (at least for a normal human being) Nobody cares about that circle on the top.

  • @bestmottzi it obvious you have no idea what you're talking about fanboy xD as said,due to 4s cpu & ram limitation,it takes longer to render the entire page, what you see is only the first small portion of the page)see why iOS never use continuous scrolling in gsmarena, peed scrolling cause checker box)for the very reason they're not done rendering,s2 complete the task first and was able to scroll the entire page with one swype,(the face off was done on gsmarea too and was proven 4s is slower)

  • @Rayz093 And still iphone was faster :)

  • @Rayz093 How the heck is that cheating if the page is actually loaded, you can read, you can scroll, you can do anything you would ask from a browser. It says it's loading, but it's actually rendering the reader file and loading the ads. It doesn't kill your browser experience, so there's no reason to say it fails with the rotating circle.

  • You can't see shit on a 3.5 screen - simple!

  • Stop that all Fans boys, no matter u r apple fans or android fans, just stop comment each other, and get the phone u think r "best"

  • @arthurlim89

    That's why they're call fanboys. Objectivity is not an option. :D

  • no the iphone 4s didn't load up look on the Top of the Page on the Iphone 4s it was still loading it was still Spinning to load I did the same test and he was tricking you people just look at the top of the iphone 4s and jugde for yourself

  • 3,5" against 4,3" ?

    i think thats enough to destroy iphones all over the world.

    to hold an iphone in your hand and to use it feels good.

    to hold an samsung galaxy in your hand (i've got the sgs plus) is freakin' awesome. always thinkin' the images are alive and are goin' to jump into my face wuhuhuu.

    Android is still the best.

    A Processor that's just a few second(s) faster is nothin' compared to the rest, where the SGS II kills definitly everything.

    It's like an aliensuperphone. :D

  • @FitiB pour south korean samsung fanboy, I bealive yo have small hands, and ist great to you have someting enourmous in your hands, the size oh the ip4s is perfect por a phone

  • Responder a este vídeo... which camare is it better?, answer: iP4s, jajaja, in what its better gaming, obviously in ip4s, in all android the gyro has a delay, what a HUGH FAIL, alwys iOS 5 better

  • this video only prooves that retina display is a shit in comparison super amoled jajajaja, Epic fail Slashgear cause android 4.0 is going to be even faster than the Icrap 4stupids jajaja

  • how much is the iphone 4s ?

  • @ananya1819 he is a liar and a cheater.. plus he had them on different wifi signals.. the galaxy s2 never runs slow like that on a fast connection. it has more processor speed and more ram. These two tests are the only ones that show the galaxy moving like a turtle. Not even the first galaxy s runs this slow

  • Do an iphone 4s against the bionic and do test with the iphone on 3g and the bionic on 4g i just wanna see how these 2 phones compare in all aspects

  • iPhone 4S had a little bit of a late start there.. but don't worry.. it still won...

    also watch the beginning when he clears the cache. lets clear it on iphone4S. click, click, done. now lets clear it on android.. click click, drag, click, click this, drag, select this, disable this, ok done.

  • @metazurie He was disabling flash. Some people like to be able to watch flash content, rather than being denied the ability with no choice.

  • @drewnusser yeah cause flash content is so interesting... banner ad.. advertisment.. banner ad. obtrusive banner ad. I "was" a flash developer at one time, now if i do any design or development I steer people away from flash. Oh how the times have changed.

  • @metazurie So now lets switch the focus from bad-talking Android for having the ability to view flash over to flash itself. I'll be honest, as a web developer myself, I try to avoid flash, because its too heavy, but that's not always the case. There are a lot of websites out there that use a ton of flash, and you're saying that giving a browser the ability to view that content is a bad thing. I don't know, I like to make those kinds of decisions myself, but if you don't...well, to each his own.

  • iphone 4s smoked the s2. now let's how the 4s holds when ICS comes out. people, yall have to keep in mind that the s2 browser does not utillize both cores of the CPU, so it's not really a fair fight. plus, the 4s is not that much faster. this is coming from who has an iphone 4s.

  • The GS2 has so many notifications and things running in the background.. how was this a fair comparison?

  • @rostypoor he is a liar and a cheater.. plus he had them on different wifi signals.. the galaxy s2 never runs slow like that on a fast connect. it has more processor speed and more ram. These two tests are the only ones that show the galaxy moving like a turtle.

  • 205 persons have an galaxy shit 2 :D

  • @IIITechIII I'm the 206 th and I don't have one. Just fells good ! :)

  • OMG! the haters ajajajaja i love how they hate when apple is better that the galaxy 2 jajaja

  • ios 5 has better javascript performance compared to 2.3 gingerbread.... so even a ip4 on ios 5 would almost be a match for gs2... but 4.0 ice cream would be a different story altogether

  • i like them both..

  • So basically, you ran the iPhone 4S against one Samsung Galaxy SII and the 4S lost... then you ran the iPhone 4S against another provider's SII and the 4S won? All that actually proves is that Apple's hardware isn't as 'ahead of the game' as they make people believe.

    Considering how much more you end up paying for an iPhone 4S, it should have decimated both phones, especially as both Samsungs were older (I may be wrong).

    Where Apple succeeds though is Siri, once they regionalise it that is.

  • Please remember that this is the T-Mobile variant. The T-Mobile variant uses a 1.5 GHz Scorpion dual-core CPU. The 1.2 GHz variant (Exynos) although having a lower clock speed, is faster in benchmarks, flash player and general internet browsing due to the Mali-400 MP in the Exynos SOC. The 1.5 GHz variant uses an Adreno 220. But in my honest opinion, you can't go wrong with either device.

  • Well, Samsung's announcing the Nexus Prime with Ice Cream Sandwich today and that's pretty much it for the iPhone 4S. iPhone 4S, fastest phone in the world for 1 week.

  • @xXSCARFACE1983Xx iphone 4s never been the fastest phone in the world to begin with. sgs2 was faster to even though iphone4s is newer

  • @smak425 how do u know its different wifi connection?

  • @xXSCARFACE1983Xx it wasn't the fastest anyway...

  • @xXSCARFACE1983Xx lol Galaxy S ii have way more powerful hardware, but still slower than the iPhone 4s, who wins?

  • @HenryHins

    wait til it has ice cream sandwich on it...

  • @xXSCARFACE1983Xx lol all u sammy people say that, now when it actually is out it's a piece of crap =.= yes a 1.5ghz core, but it DOESN'T even use it fully hahaha. And a 8 month old mali-400 gpu?!?!?! LOOOL good luck on hd games running on the nexus.

  • @yourdailycydiafix are you kidding? how about apples 1yr plus old retina display, using the vastly inferior tft technology? as opposed to the gs2 amoled tech, which is better by...

    better viewing angles

    greater brightness and visibility out side

    less power consumption-allowing for more screen with less or equal power consumtion

    greater contrast ratio 100000:1 (as opposed to CRAPPY washed out color of your 800:1 retina display)

    so good luck on YOUR hd content. ITS EVEN APPARENT IN THE VIDEO.LEWL

  • @bakarac14 LOL calm down you droidfag 1) yes your screen is better 2)+year old iphone 4's can pump out that retina resolution easily whereis the nexus won't, that is why browser, games, app ( basically everything ) loads faster than your droidcrap memory& process hogging OS. [ that is why our old as A4 chips STILL beat all androids that were before Q2 ]. 3) um your battery drains like crazy lol, don't think i havn't used the lastest and greatest android phones. 4) Dude,give up, face the facts

  • Man using the galaxy just looks like a lot of work. no wonder it got owned. Iphone for life. thumbs up.

  • @MrBlaisejohnny "iphone for life", this is why you are stupid. You pick the best option available for the money you can afford. Iphone is now behind the times, and they are behind the rest of the pack. Lets hope they do something new and exiting for the iphone 5. This guy doesn't have his GS2 set up at all. Browser in applications? That never happens.

  • @MrBlaisejohnny LOL....people with smarts use Android, Apple is for idiots.

  • @smasila People in middle school use Andriod obviously.

  • @smasila So apple is for idiots...android doesn't have macs with up to 12 cores processors :/

  • Man using the galaxy just looks like a lot of work. no wonder it got owned. Iphone for life.

  • Leaving the add-on setting on on demand does not turn the flash off. You should turn the setting to 'off' then try again.

  • Look at all the notifications on the GS2 O.o

  • Again, the samsung is running flash. The iphone screen is too small anyways.

  • the 4s seems to load faster, but if you notice there is always a spinning circle up in the status bar for few seconds after it "finished".

  • I have to say I don't trust these reviews at all. Galaxy S II should have a factory reset and all applications should be closed on both devices. Since the SmartPhoneEnvy and PocketNow reviews both demonstrate the Galaxy S II to be faster(which makes sense because it is clocked at 1.2Ghz), I can't exactly trust this. The iPhone 4s is a good phone. The reason it is a disappointment is that it merely competes with the 5 month old Galaxy S II and actually still comes short. It will be behind soon

  • @dsmann12 in all these months i have never seen the galaxy s2 move so slow...this guy is a liar

  • that isnt even the iphone4S....

  • this 2011 no time for 480p

  • Wont be watching anymore slashgear videos. Reviewers should be unbias regardless of which company they prefer. Ur reputation is everything

  • They were both on wifi the iPhone won get over yourselves it's not that serious

  • @kidjiujitsu different wifi signals. He's a cheater. Once a cheater always a cheater

  • Sprints SGS2 version is much faster! This review its misleading. Trust me!

  • Why someone peed on the iphone?

  • iphone definely faster :P

  • C.O.D VS BF3 ...

  • he's not cheating you can plainly see he set the flash onto on demand. so dont hate.. you know this phone battle will go back and forth. iPhone is faster atm but the next phone will be faster and so on and so on

  • @aemakes2 he had them on different wifi signals.. and in the first video he had flash on thats why he did this 2nd video. a cheat is a cheat.

  • @zeretmusicent Ok he messed up the first test but this is why he did a second video. you can see this was straight. he can't help the wifi signal strength its the phone ant.

    but this test at least seemed straight to me. Remember I have a galaxy and I did the test my self at the at&t store my self and came up with the same result with 3g

  • @aemakes2 different wifi signals. He's a cheater. Once a cheater always a cheater. I have never seen galaxy move so slow. These devices are pretty much neck and neck. Even with flash the glaxay s2 wouldnt have been as slow as it was in that first test he's liar.

  • look i took my galaxy to the att store and tested the phones myself and I found the iPhone is just a little faster just a little

  • im not samsung fan i dont even like the way the phone look on the outside but this seems like a FAKE REVIEW. how can you trust a tech reviewer who cheated in the first test of these devices if i didnt see the first video he did i would have no reason to suspect anything. he probably has them on different wifi connections. just like tech reviewers have a millions phones what makes you think he doesnt have 1 of these devices connected to wifi hotspot from a 3g phone. i guess he think we are stupid

  • What funny Thing is When you are on Same Wi-fi network! whoever gets tap on go faster will load page faster because it gets first kick from router!

  • It's a T-Mobile version of Galaxy S II dude.

    Why don't you try an Original Galaxy S II?

    I know the way better to watch this comparison just watch Smartphoneenvy videos. sorry for my bad english.

  • Couple of seconds makes a huge difference, if we multiply them by 10, while trying to browse the web on our phones, then heck yes it does:-)

  • The World's 25 Most Valuable Companies: Apple Is Now On Top

    After briefly surpassing Exxon Mobil during Tuesday’s trading day as the world’s most valuable company, Apple took over the number one spot again yesterday and stayed in the lead for the first time at the close of a trading day. So where's samsung?

  • @saquido1 :) u do know that 80% of apple parts are produced by samsung :) so samsung has no worries since they also make money over you iphone users ;)

  • hmmm...damn it !

  • Steve Jobs was right, Adobe Flash should die, pce of garbage memory hogger that has monopolize the webpages.All the gigs of internal memory won't save their phones.

    Android is also garbage software infused with marketing data analytic trailing back to Google revenue stream. Shameless Evil.

    The hilarious part, Iphone 4S has 512mb of ram, sad joke for samsung copycats who can't get the smartphone formula right.

  • @tube02148 totally

  • @tube02148 Not true...If u did follow apple`s law suits, you should see why they dont want flash on iphone! Because if flash is allowed, ios is loosing its control on the application. This is written in their respond to law suit against amazon! Android is an open source system. If you can, you can make your own os which i believe is really cool instead of garbage...

    But if you dont like to try out roms and feel the freedom, i respect that and also respect your choice on ios.But dont blame others
