Google Nexus S vs. HTC EVO 4G Dogfight Part 1

[taylorgangalltheway]

i like both.... i like the nexus cause i use my phone alot and want it to last a day.... but i watch a lot of movies....

[billyrouth1]

Stock android vs Bloated sense= no contest

[almargahi1]

Both Are Crap

the best sprint phone is Motorola Photon the battery is Awesome

[LUCKY4908]

@almargahi1 just buy only battery then not the phone

[KenDaWindowMan]

None of my Paint is Chipped on my nexus s 4g, It seems to be a very good phone. My boy got the HTC, I like it also, ALOT, but, Key features its missing. Color isnt as good. Thing seems too bulky and weird handleling next to your ear when using phone function. Honestly all around, I think the Nexus is a Better phone. If only by a little.

[mangoisrael]

i dont know what which to get hct evo or google nexus? helpp..

[HipNoTic35]

@mangoisrael If you want GPS and other Sprint stuff

Evo is your option

If you want Pure google experiance ( No GPS, Sprint ID etc.)

[TehhVizo]

@mangoisrael

Ok i need to go into detail with you

Evo has more customization And has HTC Sense 2.0

Nexus is plain google experiance so it has less customizations

However

You can get the nexus s and download launcher pro

So you can make the phone faster and more customizations with Launcher pro

[ATGkeller]

My silver HTC sign fell off :( can I get that replaced

[sardo97]

Nexus S is 29.99$ online at sprint right now.

[H0SHIKAKA]

Which one is better?

[snimmers]

@H0SHIKAKA the EVO OF COURSE



[PreLudeLoveR67]

I love my EVO 4 g blows the nexus s out of the water!

[MrPorksoda555]

htc evo 4g is better

[marchena2010]

I hate when ppl confuse this Nexus S with the one Sprint released and ask stupid 4G questions. Why no go to Yahoo! Answers, lol?

[Singer4416]

I thought the Nexus s was 4G???

[pimpslap775]

@Singer4416 For sprint it is

[marchena2010]

@Singer4416 No, this is the one before you heard about it. The one you never heard about, lol. The Tmobile nexus s is not 4G. You're super late.

[15yearoldsinger]

@Singer4416 it is for the sprint verson

[Lawagoalie35]

@Singer4416 The sprint version is. at&t and t-mobile are 3g

[Mzdiffrent1]

@Singer4416 its 4g on sprint

[haydon70]

I have the lg optimus s Im due for a upgrade witch phone would be better for me???

[JasonHurlburt]

i love the startup music

[steven4rmnewyork]

YEAH LETS SEE HIM TYPE WITHOUT THE AUTO CORRECT SPELLING ON..LOOL

[steven4rmnewyork]

nexus is more internet friendly it loads pages much faster than the evo.evo takes awhile to open up the simple webpages

[Klar1net]

1:06 Nexus ass hehe :)

[3973555]

"they might be acting a fool" lmao

[crisgia]

i like noah better than this guy

[1skeeta4u]

I meant Evo 3D or SGS2!

[1skeeta4u]

I have the Evo 4g and thought about getting the nexus but they have disappointed me with the nexus! So, ill wait for the Evo 4g or the Samsung

[Feffer82]

"i havent coughed or sneezed in three years, but when i get on video i have to.."

ahahahaha got me rollin'!

[backinblack246]

Im getting an evo. Is it worth it to wait for the 3d, or should i just get the regular 4g?

[DontBeTheJerk]

@backinblack246 wait for the 3d.. or you will have an almost outdated phone.

[jordanballer2396]

@backinblack246 the 3d will be optional but there wont be a change in resolution and u will have to wear glasses to use the 3d so i would go with the current model, thats what i have now.

[cmatheson1774]

@jordanballer2396 None of that is true. The resolution is higher, you DONT need glasses and the internal specs are improved. If you want/dont mind having 3d on your phone then the 3d is much better.

[AbsolutZeroGI]

Friend Stream is not Myspace friendly. Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.

[FUHKK0FF]

just root your evo to gingerbread and your evo is already better then the nexus s. Except the display.

[ThicKBeautii]

isnt the nexus s on sprint

[Qayin1]

The nexus s is better Evo battery suuuucks ass

[eboundee]

@Qayin1 Then just buy two extra batteries for $10 off ebay lol I got that and a charger, one of the batteries didnt work (from china) so left negative feedback. Seller corrected, free battery and charger :)

Sucks swapping out though, I've kept the same one in for a while now haha

[MrSmokinhotdude]

@Qayin1 only cause the evo dose a shit load more than nexus does besides batterys never last long it depends on whats running

[skaterskye]

i love stock android and the nexus line...but ill never own a samsung phone!!!

i just got the evo..might switch to the nexus s4g on may 8th.... what u guys think i should do?

[niecy1026]

@skaterskye stick with the Evo, the nexus s 4g doesn't offer the option for external/expandable memory - the 16gb flash memory is all u get, whereas the Evo can be upgraded up to 32gb external memory with a micro sd card

[emptiness2holiness]

iphone has to retire , what a waste.

[Nufuhsus]

Did he says Nexus ass?

[MrCrayonInk95]

I wish there was a way to easily and quickly (and legally of course) install any OS you wanted on android. With the Nexus S I would instantly install either the iPhone iOS, Palm Web OS, or most likely the HTC Sense. I know this is so impossible right now but I defiantly see this coming in the future. Perhaps Google is already making agreements as we speak. I sure hope so.

[OMGJONAS]

Ultranational, buy any Htc without a front camera and mash the back camera with a screwdriver or something ;)

[proudkorean1992]

i wish you can get the stock android ui on the evo 4g. im not a very big fan of sense ui. but its still great ^^

[Ultranationalist941]

hey guys I'm looking for a phone which is something like this... a HTC android phone without any camera... why i dont want any camera is because im going into the army soon and phones with cams are not allowed... and i want a device so that i can access the internet and facebook while im in base... any suggestions?

[Pendemic]

@Ultranationalist941

Don't think a phone like that exists.

[MaPee1982]

I'll go with the HTC EVO 3D.

[SoggySerial]

UI/Software review starts @ 5:54

[lopezpm]

Can't believe you have advanced task killer installed. I thought you knew better.

[11Sora]

I'm so getting the Nexus S 4G!

[newipad]

Wow, Best Buy is getting some great exclusives lately! First the white EVO, now the Nexus S! The two phones that made my heart go pit-a-pat in the last year!

[eduardoquime]

Evo 4 g all the way

[newipad]

@eduardoquime I love my EVO, too, but Gingerbread does make me get a little lightheaded.  Hopefully HTC will do EVO right and upgrade it soon.

[mmwetzel1234]

If you don't like the videos (those people disliking it) then just unsubscribe damn, is that so difficult?

[miley8204]

@Eballs84 yes iPhones with allways be better than that android shit

[VraiDiouf]

I don't blame you for installing the droid x keyboard on the evo. I am a droid x user here myself and the keyboard is amazing.

[ray1965mission]

HTC EVO 4G pimp slaps the NEXUS S TOTALLY

[BatchFiles99]

1:15 is when the dogfight starts

[MrSkytcam]

nexus one looks nicer than both these phones iphones dont compare

[LIT0187]

Clearly The EVO is the winner.

[MYTMIC]

EVO aint loss sh-t, its still kicking azz

[getinked5]

These two android phones are def better then iphones.

[sunnymuffins13208]

@getinked5 ONLY thing I love more about the iphone is the UI, but that's about it.

[darthyoda321]

hey Aaron you should do nexus s vs samsung epic 4g!!!??

[Conceded1986]

Nice review

[Eballs84]

iphone is better than both of them. sorry guys.

[AndroidBros]

@Eballs84 YOU SUCK

[zhengjack66]

@Eballs84 no android is better than iphone

[chriscem]

@Eballs84 Sorry If I Crush your dreams, but Both of these phones are better than an iPhone.

[lovelylynn25]

I like it, but how do you like Swype? With the last update for HTC Evo, they gave the option for a Swype keyboard, do you use that?

[gamer1st]

@lovelylynn25 i installed swype on my desire,i gotta say i love it,im not the fastest typer to be honest but with with swype im actually pretty quick :)

[xxtina24]

could definitely use less sidebar and more straight to the point.

[silarman]

i think the nexus s looks cheap, put the super amoled on the HTC phones and you got at winner:D

[zepfan51]

Cool...But do they blend?

[dwaynekristinahannah]

The Nexus S is looking better and better every time I see it.

[weinerschnitzelboy]

The Android 2.3 Stock keyboard is is identical to the iPhone's keyboard in layout. And in my opinion, that virtual keyboard is the best.

[Halljand]

Can you explain the difference between the snapdragon processor and the hummingbird processor?

[raydar670]

@Halljand The snapdragon processor in the EVO is the 1st generation and not as good as the Hummingbird at least in benchmarks. 2nd gen snapdragons are comparable to the Hummingbird.

[xxtina24]

@raydar670 Which devices are offering Hummingbird and 2nd gen snapdragon?

[raydar670]

@xxtina24 All Galaxy S phones, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Tab have a Hummingbird processor. The Desire HD, the Desire Z/G2, and probably the Thunderbolt have the 2nd gen snapdragon. The Desire Z/G2 have an 800Mhz one, but it doesn't negatively impact performance much. Also the A4 chip in the iPad, iPod Touch, and the iPhone 4 is very similar to the Hummingbird (based of the same design), but that's just trivial knowledge.

[saxman112]

I would have to say that the stock Android keyboard on the Nexus S looks like the default keyboard on the Galaxy S line of phones, and I find that interesting because the Nexus S is made by Samsung, just like the Galaxy S line. I don't know if anyone else noticed this.

[jugarnaut40]

Aaron! If you don't mind me asking, where did you find Motorolas keyboard? I don't know if it's just me or what, but I couldn't even find the damn thing on xda!

[TrinhThanhTrung]

@jugarnaut40 I think it's just u :P Here is ur Motorola keyboard

goo.gl / Wcpx1

[Nwordplzplz]

I'm currently using Swype, but I'll check out the new Android keyboard when it becomes available.

[jose7193]

it went from "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." to "the sly cat went to the barney and ordered three beers."... what has happened to phonedog without noah

[MIYIAUQ]

thumbs up if u never won the one paw bandit :(

[jaydamadd]

Nexus 1 v Nexus s

[oOMcFLuRyyyOo]

droid x vs nexus s!

[krazygreen]

Aaron's obsession with Super Amoled. Hey man, you never ever ever mention the down falls of super amoled, the fact that it has a blue hue/tint to it, especially on whites. Tests have shown that super amoled came in 3rd compared to retina and the HD7's massive screen. Super Amoled is super overrated but Aaron will never mention this because he never goes in depth about anything. Just runs subjective quadrant tests but fails to get into what people care about.

[biggerben2010]

Evo 4G better end of.

[steelfoe]

Meh, I use my evo with launcher pro.

[rigolin1771]

Can you STOP SAYING 2.3 or 2.2 EVERY 30 SECONDS!! WE KNOW WHICH OS WHICH DAMMIT!

[Arjoma92]

If I use a dedicated camera button on almost any smartphone the chance of getting blurred pictures because of shaking when pressing the key is much higher than when I hold the Smartphone and just touch the button on the display.

[ScaredKid321]

im a bigger fan of better keyboard rather than smart keyboard. just saying (:

[BJ2lover09]

@SovietSlayer he already did that video like last week, check their channel

[farres1]

Droid x is better then evo so they should be comparing the nexus s with the droid x

[mnunez611]

You really need a checklist before starting your reviews

[tweetiegur09]

I miss my evo, why did I have to get the epic. Can you say #slowupdates

[RaphaelBeckerFoss]

Sorry, but resolution is the SAME on both. Evo has lower ppi, but the resolution ist 800x480, too!

[SovietSlayer]

why didnt u compare it to a phone we care about? cough iphone 4

[farestabs]

Not higher resolution! They're both WVGA but the SuperAmoled is a different screen technology than LCD which makes for better color reproduction...

[Awayze]

@farestabs Same resolution on both phones but Nexus S has a smaller screen which gives it a higher pixel density therefore better resolution.

SAMOLED FTW

[farestabs]

@Awayze Lol I know I have a captivate but facts are facts

[castillomiguel3]

Evo!

[glory2marik]

U r sensual :)

[charlie4872]

Man this guy isnt a half bad reviewer

[MrAngel1117]

yea well Nexus doesnt have a KICKSTAND :P

so EVO is the king ^^

[SWGuruu]

Aaron likes Warren G, he told me on twitter. That alone automatically makes him the most amazing phone dog guy on the P-L-A-N-E-T

[milkykungnaja]

Happy New Year AARON :D

Any more dogfight for the last day of the year 2010 ????

lol

Cheers,

[PHvlogger]

@jabbaw0ckeez I have him locked in my closet and he's never coming back! Deal with it. Now excuse me, I have to feed him.

[PHvlogger]

The outro music sounds like it should be part of a cheesy porno soundtrack.

[nickmiller71]

@anilraj420 wow... rough. aaron does a great job giving the facts and it's nearly impossible to be unbiased in our current world...

[anilraj420]

@nickmiller71 how is that impossible its pretty easy just do fair comparison he lets the apple browser load then does pinch to zoom but with the android he does it while its still loading....how can apple browser be better when the google browser is the fastest on any mobile device and has adobe flash..how can keyboard be better when u are stuck with only one and cant use swype or speech to text.theres so many things

[CalebRulez2]

How did you get the Motorola Keyboard on the EVO?

[michaelchenglink]

i love my desire hd

[robotaholic]

Lol advanced task killer on 2.3. What a retard

[TheSerg13]

My eve came with swype and y does your evo go back to parltriot mode so easy my gets stuck on landscape mode

[thefuf99]

these phones are really closely matched but personally I think I would take the nexus s for the screen resolution and size. I like the evo more though because it seems like a more solid build (because of HTC), the cool kickstand and it has a nicer camera

[legalizeitbiches]

umm i have an evo... preatty sure itll win i dont want it too.. 4g i dont use.. wastes battery and is spotty... large screen while nice the backlight of the buttons bleeds through ALOT and when turnin on, (wich takes forever) you can notice some white dots... and sense is a bitter/sweet thing because on the one side its nice but on the other we dont know when or if it will updated.. NS isnt perfect because it isnt future proof,, evo turns of randomly in heavy data usage

[jalarm27]

Aaron, I prefer your reviews over Noah's. I say it again you ma boi!

[kenfLee23]

Were can I get that multi touch Motorola keyboard what's the name of it in the android market

[mkrmec]

This reviews are getting kinda old, everytime the same things... Sense Vs Stock, Quadrant (The worst bench ever), the typing etc... I'd like to see less but more quality. We all know that we buy Android for the upgrades and all the new stuff they bring. Need something "more" than just a rundown. I know that these reviews are for noobs but would like to see more than just standard stuff.

[drewsmixes]

Evo*

[drewsmixes]

Eve is better IMO

[neptoon07]

I got the myTouch 4G and i LOVE it!!!! its an AWESOME phone!!!!

[jeff30458]

Thumbs up if you liked Noah's Nexus S review better.

[twssfilms007]

1:11 on the EVO MAKE A WISH! :D

[brooklyn0978]

I love HTC Sense, more so over TouchWiz & MotoBlur, I hate MotoBlur, looks so ugly to me.

[Ninja26806]

I hate when they talk about BestBuy... They Handle the rebates for you..BLAH! BLAH! WE GET THE POINT AFTER You say it 400000000000000 GAZILION TIMES UGH!

[ubercoolman7]

@Ninja26806 well they have to do that because best buy provides the phones for them so they have to "advertise" for them

[crapzo]

@Ninja26806 they have to because they are sponsored by best buy and have to advertise them

[AlbertVonGrimm]

how come you installed advanced task manager? I thought gingerbread had a built-in task manager?

[Edtweet]

its not just you unit aaron, its SAMSUNG!

[zcarlosjesus]

The resolution on both devices are both the same, 480x800.

[AlbertVonGrimm]

@zcarlosjesus higher DPI

[doomed151]

I just noticed how awesome Super AMOLED is when compared to the Evo's screen.

[zcarlosjesus]

Both of these carriers are cheap and terrible.

[zcarlosjesus]

I buy all my technology stuff from BestBuy.

[ELBdelorean]

I thought I'd post a comment that doesn't have anything to do with the time I post it.

[dOp3bOy235]

i hate bestbuy

[718scooter]

Evo!!!!

[90Mrknowitall]

i'm an iphone user but if i were to switch to android it would be the Evo4G no questions asked!!!!

[MeatloafBomb]

HOORAY! Aaron's Hindu dot is going away! :D

[bigdima3]

IOS is better IMO)))

[rrcczz]

Evo 4g wins

[thelastchaoticfool]

noah your ugly!! :p

[LoseMyFocus]

I prefer the Evo. Nexus S was a let down IMO

[androidiscool]

i sold my evo when i bought the nexus s.

[BamaBoyRome]

2:03 is when the actually dogfight commences.

[pinkerester]

what about swype on the evo with the new update?

[Trojan562]

Stock Android FTW ; faster updates, zero bloatware, easy rooting

[pinkerester]

1. play the video

2. then hold the button 1

[phonedog]

This guy is such a fanboy

[Sader2202]

@phonedog What? who is a fanboy? whats a fanboy? why did you say fanboy?

[wj0t]

@phonedog who?

[Danosuke1]

@phonedog It's good that you can make fun of yourself, Aaron. :P

[phonedog]

@Danosuke1 Hey, you gotta have fun every now and then! :-)

[Danosuke1]

@phonedog True that :P

[MarkC538]

@phonedog Hey, can use use tmobile's mobile tv app with the samsung epic 4g. Also is there that big a difference between Sprint 4g network and Tmobile's 3g network or is 4g overrated like I heard?

[newipad]

@MarkC538 They are not remotely the same. Sprint is partnering with Clearwire to bring 4G speeds via WiMax (802.16 technology) and T-Mo is using HSPA+. You cannot use any T-Mo service on the Epic 4G, as it is a CDMA/WiMax phone and T-Mo is a GSM/HSPA+ network. 4G isn't so much overrated as it is hard to find and spotty, and it's a HUGE battery drain. When you can find it, it's blazing fast--up to 14Mbps for WiMax and 21Mbps for HSPA+. BTW, Verizon is using LTE, and AT&T a combo of HSPA+ and LTE.

[gundam00lover4eva]

@Danosuke1 I wouldn't be surprised if it was Jon or something xD.

[anilraj420]

@phonedog how bout u try being non biased doing comparison if u havent noticed only apple fanboys think your fair everyone else thinks your biased or are u such a ass that u just think everyone is for some reason hateing

[jnthn4evr]

I hate both phones go epic 4g whooh!

[guardianangel1777]

ENOUGH WITH THE MOTHERF@#% NEXUS S COMPARISON IM TIRED OF IT JEEZZZZZZ every damn tech channel does nexus s vs (insert phone here) and i f#$#@ tired of it NO ONE GIVE A DAMN ANYMORE!!!

[BluMonkiSpartan]

@guardianangel1777 chill~ dude! its all good~ the world aint gonna end tomorrow and i aint smoking weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

[bmd900]

nexus s whoops except for the camera.

[MangThomas10]

Last!

[MrEudoxio]

koo

evo 4g should win
