Multitouch Comparison, G2 versus Nexus One

[weinerschnitzelboy]

G2 Is better, but it fails at 3 fingers and more. The iPod touch 2G I had did even better and the lines drawn on the screen were accurate (I used a drawing app.)

[ilovetechystuff]

does the multitoch problem get solved in the gingerbread update for the nexus one?

[fizixs]

thankyou for doing this.

[matthewformyvalentin]

you sir look like a slim johnny vegas XD

but yeah sweet video :)

[NAYKWAN1]

glad i got the g2 then huh? ?

[w4yne]

yeah... but will it blend?

[killertomcat]

My vibrant will recongnize 5 touches :D.

[yoyodogg96]

is the g2 capacitive

[TheDeadCPU]

@yoyodogg96 Of course.

[studboy66]

@yoyodogg96 ye

[mathman28]

how about games Comparison singing which 1 run better

[TheDeadCPU]

@mathman28 G2.

[ferret629]

the battery life on the g1 was not the greatest so i was wondering is the g2 battery life better?

[TheDeadCPU]

@ferret629 Yes. It's GREAT :D

[07liberian]

MultiTouch Is Sooooooo Overrated.

[latinstuff1]

what the fuck is the name of the app they have lot s of videos but they never say the name of the efffin app

[Korntoff]

@latinstuff1 1:23

[sebianoti]

Not happy about this... super pissed that my desire is worse than a device with a shit name G2... heh

[vexx506]

@sebianoti if your calling your phone the desire, your probably not in the US, so... you wouldnt get the G2 anyway, youd get the Desire Z..

[AlkamistSSi]

The HTC Evo 4G has 5 points of multi-touch. I proved that with mine using "Dotty" from the Android Marketplace.

[bently103]

Did this on my iPhone 4 it can easily hold 5 but im glad they fixed this on the g series of phones

[fuzzydragon921]

Hows the hspa+ network speeds looking like?

[ferhansid]

the iphone can do 6 lol , my bro has the iphone but i have an htc legend . ANDROID FTW

[vexx506]

@ferhansid lol i bet this can do just as many as the iphone, but seriously when would you ever need to touch the phone in 6 places XD ?

[ferhansid]

@vexx506

i dunno , but i thought it was soooo cool , then i realized it was an iphone , so the excitement wore off lol

and this phone seems alright , i think its useless considering the nexus one came out a year ago and has better specs

[vexx506]

@ferhansid this phone has better specs than the nexus..

the thing i think you mean is that this says it has an 800mhz processor and the old nexus has a 1ghz.. but that doesnt really matter at all, cause this has a newer tech cpu, this time with a dedicated gpu, which basicly means it has a fast graphics processor attached to the cpu, making it much better for 3d games and videos and that kind of thing.

& the chip architecture a little different making it much faster, by up to 3-4x actually..

[ferhansid]

@vexx506

oh , i see , is that why the moto droid is better at gaming then the n1? my friends compared and the droid was miles ahead , my friend said cuz it was a dedicated chip

but im still not liking this phone , even with the specs , the looks are meh , the keyboard is nice though , sticking to the legend for now

[mrcoolkid7]

do iphone 4 ipod 4g comparison with other deveises

[Jeffrey8891]

samsung galasy s can do five without problems ... ^^

[aboazoz959]

nice .. thanks man

[godsosall]

HTC should really announce dual-touch instead of multitouch! HTC Desire touch is a catastrophe! I wish I could sue them for use of misleading description for their product.

[DrymR]

Please could you try if bluetooth via headset connexion works ( music playback , control buttons , and answer calls ? )

You mention also a second microphone on your unboxing video finally is it true ?

[DrymR]

@DrymR Also it would be could to try if multitouch games like ( real footbal or NOVA ) are handle

[PinkMirrorKirby]

The Samsung Wave can do 6 multitouches.

[SuckerBullet]

@PinkMirrorKirby But the Samsung Wave has Bada OS....

[PinkMirrorKirby]

@SuckerBullet I know, this Wave should run Android, it will be a massive hit.

The Galaxy S should have the same Atmel Maxtouch model as the Wave, which can detect UP TO 6 Multitouch points.

[ohmygod1986]

Samsung Galaxy S can do max 5

[Killhunter80]

do not look very good with more than 2 fingers :(

[nickerrides]

the vibrant has good multi touch too ;)

[DigitalGamma]

Out of curiousity, why the hell would you need 2+ touch on a phone. I cant even pinch to zoom while operating the phone with a single hand.

[vandam500]

@DigitalGamma Many reasons why. For example check out the Ocarina app for iPhone/iPod Touch

[SaykredCow]

Super LCD G2 for watching movies, reading text, or surfing web pages, compared to AMOLED or Super AMOLED

[Nesnekinenske]

iphone (3GS) can do five =D

tested and confirmed ;D

[coldmetal94]

four?! cool

[ThornfullessRose]

sorry this has been asked. what is he using to test the multi-touch?

[nxtiak]

@ThornfullessRose Are you serious? Look at the video or listen to him. "Yet another MultiTouch Tester v1.3" it's right there on the screen.

[TonyBilby]

@pocketnowvideo Hey Joe, Could you do a video quality example? 

[GoGoCentralz]

my fascinate registers 5 touches with no lagg

[izzyknowsyou]

@GoGoCentralz My Epic does the same, Galaxy S ftw (:

[dragonballzfan809]

@izzyknowsyou the galaxy got owned by the G2 have yu seen the comparison video?

[izzyknowsyou]

@dragonballzfan809 I did, i'm not gonna base it off that one video though.

[MaTiCeKDS]

Very useful information! Thanks.

Now if someone could tell me what's the audio codec used in recorded videos on the G2? Is it still amr at 8000 Hz?

[akshuuuuuu]

Hi Joe ,

Could you please a video on Motorola DROID Adobe Flash video playback please ..!! I havent seen much videos on this topic since verizon released flash for motorola droid. Thank you .

[CRAKIZGOOD]

@YourPervertNextDoor

my dear good friend

thats why i said 2.2

why 2.2 matters

look at N1 2.1 vs N1 2.2

[temperbad]

why does it keep going back to the touch me screen? My sgs don't do that.seems something is up.......

[AmpsNL]

My Samsung S8500 can have up to 6 'inputs' at the same time. Samsung made a good choice as far as the digitizer goes. They're getting supplied from a company that makes good digitizers :)

The i8910 HD I had was terrible. If you would draw a straight diagonal line slowly in a drawing app, the line will get all squiggly.

[tarunrad]

galaxy s phones have the best digisizer IMO.

[subuston001]

lets see some games played on the G2

[MrKartos1]

PLEASE touch me !!

LOL

[TokShogun]

please make some speed compairison by daily use stuff like browsing, app launch, camer launch , multitasking, .... to a n1 or gs

[CRAKIZGOOD]

@TokShogun

n1 1ghz 2.2

G2 800mhz 2.2

simple

[AndroidAdvocate]

I did my samsung Epic and got 5 points.

[underthecover1]

is there an open bootloader?

[metalchroom]

My Galaxy S recognizes 5 fingers

[blekdregen]

funny that my ipod touch (2009) recognices 5 fingers =D

[altu892]

how long is the battery life?

[DylanTalks]

You and Jaime Riviera make the best videos..

[zpedro16]

OMG, my Android is really bad at this! Orang/Optimus Boston. It's worse than the Nexus One and it came after! ahah

[aesopn140792]

can you have 5 touch points?

[KINGof100KINGs]

@aesopn140792 only on iPad...not 5point but ten =)

[thomversluis1989]

The G2 is the HTC Desire Z, right?

[mimstyle]

@thomversluis1989 yes G2 = htc desire z

[drummerkid1993]

@thomversluis1989 No. Desire Z has sense and other things. They are different, as their names suggest.

[kingpinda2]

@thomversluis1989 Small differences apply. as have been answered the G2 comes with stock android 2.2. and the Z with android 2.2. and HTC Sense. Also The G2 has 3 hardware keys to bind apps or shortcuts to and the Z only 2. At least this I noticed from pictures. The G2 might be T-mobile branded but i'm not sure about that.

[DylanTalks]

@thomversluis1989 Yep, in Europe it is called Desire Z and in the US it's G2

[jumangi1212]

Can you Please Test the HSPA+ speed ? Every Body are waiting for.... 

[mimstyle]

nice i need only good two touch, my next phone !

[danserafim]

Please, more about ipad.

[TravisB61091]

just did this with my HD2 running android 2.2 its fun xD

[patatdrol]

Great vid!

imo, I think this G2 will be the Motorola Droid in 2010 and later in January 2011 Google will probably come out with a new (dev) phone with Gingerbread :P

[XxJohnnyyyyyxX]

pause at 0:07 he looks funny

OMG G2 YOUR SOON GOIN TO B MINE!!!!

[Marindo]

love these vids

was wondering if you can compare the on screen keyboard on the G2 in portrait and landscape mode with other android phones like the Nexus One, Samsung Vibrant, Captivate what have you etc.

[raidersgarza]

WOW!! Im thinking of getting rid of my iphone and getting the G2 now!! Awesome reviews!!

[mrwright909]

0:38 ugh why can't more girls be like that :( what the screen says

[BIGGGY305]

@mrwright909 virgin

[mrwright909]

@BIGGGY305 problem?

[1212mikey1212]

just one question is it good to have a task manager on my htc desire running android 2.1?

[sergio4sho1]

nice video joe you know one video i would like to see is how good is the keybord to text with and/or the touch screen keybord i bin looking around and i havent seen any video on it

[atul0002]

That is nothing compared to any samsung galaxy s

u can have up to 5 touch points on it and it doesnt even lag much.

[xxpandathomasxx]

well im goign to say it, i enjoy this guys voice, much better then mono tone

[N0VAJ]

You can do 5 points on the Samsung Galaxy S

[AlexsandarM]

Thumbs up for your video Joe.Nice useful comparison.

[07liberian]

MultiTouch Is Sooooo Overrated.

[doug3673]

@07liberian Agreed! When does anyone really need to touch the screen with all 5 fingers? Never. 2 touches should be sufficient

[Djjohn1992]

Joe joe joe, great videos and I love that you are so hyped over this.

You really do enjoy this, I can tell.

But I would really love to see the camera on this thing, please!

Awesome video, you got a thumbs up from here!
