  • The Nexus is a much cleaner smoother phone without the custom mod. Custom mod never makes your phone run faster just looks pretty.

  • android apps for new phones always are choppy until they get updated

  • SGSII is better.

  • Hi sorry to bother but u forgot to compare video quality, by the way really nice vid

  • You SHOULD compare the phones in stock rom + stock apps state...

  • Way toooo long of a load time. My Gnex is way faster running 4.0.4.

  • what the f... what have you done that nexus? mine is way faster

  • UwyywwJBL

  • Unfair comparison, s2 loads faster, be me having a s2 I can see he's not using the optimal setting, looks like its on power saver setting.

  • Galaxy SII is better than Nexus, Galaxy S2 has Super AMOLED Plus, Nexus has Super AMOLED, two different screens, Plus has four subpixels per pixel, ordinary Super AMOLED has only two subpixels per pixel!

  • @negrozn2 Nexus has Super AMOLED HD

  • how do you have the ICS (Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) on GALAXY S II?

  • Your Galaxy Nexus takes a much longer time to load up than mine.

  • that s2 is really good... i reckon if they made it a bit smaller to the iphone the feel in the hand. and change the plastic back to something else.

  • Good performance phones but clearly to big,

    Might aswell buy a tablet.

    Iphones elegant design, form factor an ease of use will always make it NO.1

    sorry fan boys.

  • @GamingFreaksHD They're really not to big because both are thinner than the iphone. Also i dont think a phone made out of glass makes it better quality. And oh android owns more of the market so the iphone isnt number one.

  • I like my S2 very much.

  • Despite the fact these two phones appear to perform remotely the same it was an unfair "comparison" Considering the custom kernel you have on the GNex could be hindering or benefiting it. I will say, my NON Custom GNex out performs S2's with no problem.

    You want to do a true comparison, then you need to 1) wipe both phones. 2) Restore the stock ROM to the GNex and the Stock ROM to the S2 if you were using one.

    This wasn't a true comparison.

  • samsung is shit....just a copy of other brands

  • @jaypark2027 better then iPhone

    trust me

  • S II is still the best

  • Oh My Good Galaxy S2 Ics Galaxy Nexus Ics Too

  • Its silly if their both not stock.. this VS is invalid :S

  • Custom anything can't be considered a "comparison" get your facts straight buddy

  • @LostMySauce Why not? Please enlighten me. Because the definition of comparison is: "A statement or estimate of similarities and differences" Explain why you think stock, or the coders at samsung, are better than the open source android coders, and how that makes any difference? Both phones are rooted and customized. It's just a comparison, it's not intended to be the definition of "which phone is better".

  • @foxfire235 Most people want a phone out of the box to work (I'm running aokp on the gnex) but both of them are running custom kernels, idk if you said anything about roms. Are they overclocked? Which scripts did they edit? There's a whole bunch of things that differ when you flash something vs stock

  • @foxfire235 I think that what he wanted to say is that an usual user doesnt root his phone.(Im not that type of guy) but then its more reliable to compare what you get in store, not how you customize it for yourself, even its the best choice for those who know how to .

    and a question for you: How do you think ends a comparison? Imho by the verdict of which of in this case two phones is better in which way or completely considering pros,cons.

    But still for me it was good as I will root my phone

  • @foxfire235 Then you need to state that you are comparing this Custom ROM to that Custom ROM. Not the two phones. Both your title and your statments in the video makes one believe you are comparing the actual phone's themselves, you aren't. Due to the fact that errors and glitches could be in either or both custom ROM's utterly voids this as an accurate test of anything except X ROM vs Y ROM.

  • @LostMySauce Using custome ROM can't be compared, it is not what ppl get out if the box, deleting unnecessary stuff and use set CPU Nexus one can run smooth over newer phone as well.

  • Galaxy S II is better.

  • dude you cant do a side-by-side when the galaxy nexus is running a custom kernel, you should have left both of them stock and then did a true side-by-side comparison

  • @HijoDeSanchito It's just a comparison. The hardware is still the same. It's not meant to be the "defining comparison" between the two devices. Calm down.

  • @foxfire235 Well, he has a point. I own a GN, and depending of the Kernel+Rom I have different speeds.

  • GOD FUCKIN DAMN!!! THE NEXUS TAKES LIKE 67 HOURS TO TURN ON! WTF?? Lol

  • @Kennetik24 It's because he wasn't doing a true comparison, he's using a custom ROM instead of Stock. I can assure you, as an owner of the GNex myself, it DOES NOT take that long to boot.

  • @Kennetik24 yeah.. but I think must be something wrong with that one, I've seen other videos and that didn't happens!

  • @Kennetik24 Its because it has a custom ROM installed :/, It is by far more faster with the stock rom installed! :D

  • 5:22 likes his playing her wifes nipples!=)

  • galaxy s2 !!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for your demo of the native setup. Greatly appreciated!

  • haha all important facebook, as if, i dont have one and never will. but nice phones, thinking of getting the galaxy nexus.

  • which phone has bigger screen

  • @Noxus1001 the galaxy s2

  • Nexus look so sexyyyyy

    Galaxy II poor and boooredddddd

  • The difference in scrolling is because your nexus has ICS where as the SGS2 only has an ICS theme. The scrolling in ICS has been smoothed over from previous versions of android.

  • there are too many factors to consider before doing such a test, there are other videos which show the nexus being considerably faster in terms of loading pages and such. Additionally, on several occasions on the videos links were not pressed at the same time. Not that such differences should affect peoples decisions in terms of which is better. IMO the screen resolution on the nexus is quite significant and apparent which a bigger battery. And perhaps the gs2 might be difference with ICS

  • You sound like Will Forte.

  • Is Nexus battery life better than Galaxy s2? Anyone?

  • @Natmossbim123 Nah, Galaxy Nexus has higher resolution and ICS, so battery life is worse than Galaxy S2. But I think Nexus looks MUCH better than S2 and feels great. But in all other points S2 wins. Lets wait for S3 <3

  • Wtf long boot up on the Nexus!

  • do you think you are pressing the screen at 100% the same time?

  • Good comparison

  • your colour screen on your s2 go on settings, display, screen mode i have mine set as movie as it looks better and warmer and as for your browser search ics browser in market and it will be the same as your nexus or if you want flash xxlpb rom from samsung and see what you think

  • @czchimpchoker if you don't find ics browser in market search ics browser apk in google or applanet

  • Eh. Samsung phones are corn-ball...

  • Galaxy S2 win without thinking

    

  • Your Sgs2 ist that ics or go laucher ex ?

    with ics theme

  • 200,000 views.. I think all the Koreans watched that video to guess what they don't own.

  • galaxy s2 is WAY better

  • @edward5138 Exactly. ROFL?

  • Should i get Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 or Wait for S3? i gotta buy a good phone b4 may

  • @133423q It ought depends where you live. I live in Australia and we do get things abit late than everyone else. The Galaxy S3 is probably going to be released in May. So you if you can wait abit longer like me, I'll get the S3 as soon it gets out.

  • @133423q I don't have a comment on the S3 because I'm not sure of the release date, but out of these two, the Nexus.

  • @therebuiltone1980 I think its the s2 from what I've seen but the s3 is coming out soon I hear, so that may be the one over all of them. For now I reallly think its the s2. Thanks for the reply

  • Comment removed

  • Touch response in Nexus seems to be faster than S2 but S2 definitely win in processing speed.

  • Are both the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus stock, or is the Nexus rooted and running differently? If so, is this test null/void?

    Unless of course both phones are rooted?

  • Nexus has much larger resolution so it requires cpu to handle more pixels.

  • @jamisont2 I thumbs up ur comment because its very true but another thing 2note is that gingerbreab el29 it the 50millionth build of gingerbread thats been released & its extremely polished & fluid. They still use tw recently upgraded 2 4.0 & its very fluid as well as a lot of added features 2make it more convenient & practical. ICS is still relatively new in terms of firmware although it is nicer looking with some cooler features, it probably wont be as polished as gingerbread f

    4a while.

  • I was convinced I was getting the. Galaxy s2! Not sure now, any suggestions out there? Thanks

  • @MrJsh01 The Galaxy S2 & the GNexus r both a go. I have an epic touch gs2 through sprint & its definitely not jerky. It is fast but if u barely slide ur finger up or down it barely moves, the faster u slide ur finger the faster it scrolls. The GS2 just has a broader range of scrolling but both r extremely smooth. DL screen adjuster market place if u want 2 adjust the contrast although the gnexus is sharper but the color r deeper/more vivid on the gs2. U' might like the gnex better tho.

  • Just take a look at the beginning of the video. Those blacks are absolutely impenetrable. You never really realize how much deeper blacks can affect your viewing experience until you're able to use it for a while. Let me tell you, it blows you away.

  • That rom running on the nexus sucks.

    Im a big fan of the nexus but in this case the nexus loses clearly.

  • S2 win

  • I have both phones, but like the GSII better.

  • "I dont know, it's more.... 'Apple-y' if that makes sense."

    Since when has Apple ever been the best?

  • @Monocog007 You are the one saying Apple is the best, I simply stated that the scrolling in Android has changed and is now more like the scrolling in iOS.

  • @foxfire235 You were the one that said it was better. The only reason the scrolling isn't faster on both the nexus and the 4s is because the slower scrolling requires less processing power, and we all know the Galaxy S II is best in the hardware department.

  • @foxfire235

    I know what you mean, I love my droids, Iphone's are very refined though and do scroll very smooth, my droid phones have always been alot more jumpy scrolling speeding to the top or bottom of the page with barely a tap, the iphone senses the movement of your finger better as if you where sliding a physhical object..

  • @foxfire235 all android devices are apple clones, nothing original, their are like those Chinese crap clones only better, apple destroyed the mobile phone industry, nokia and Sony Ericsson already are going out of business

  • @foxfire235 which is bad. i liked the inertia the old scrolling had. way better to scroll long pages, you only needed one flick to get it started and one to stop, now you have to keep flicking to get to the bottom.

  • @Monocog007

    Since always

  • @Monocog007 i believe ios' scrolling is much nicer than that of all android phones (besides nexus) that i've used.

  • i can see you are are an galaxy nexus fan

    you was like omg when the gs2 won

    correct me if im wrong :p

  • why does android have dumb software names? no one will take you seriously is you say "my phone is an ice cream sandwich"

  • Does anyone know what andriod version nexus is using?

  • @swopwhop Nexus uses Android 4.0

  • really 1 mins to start galaxy nexus?

    my iphone 4s starts in 20 secs

  • 2:27 you see why apple is no1???because when you want yo say that the browser works better that in another phone you use the word ''applely''.That proves who is the king!

  • Ok guys i am going to be completely honest here. My friend has a GS2 and i went into the store with him and played with a Gnex before making a decision on which one i bought. I hands down went for the Gnex. The Gnex in this video is screwed. My Gnex runs very very quick. The difference between the 2 phones is VERY minimal and hardly noticable in terms of speed. Remember the Gnex has a higher res screen though that the processor has to contend with so i would say Gnex wins performance.

  • @webz2k I'm wondering if it's really a fair test. If both phones are on wifi, then when loading webpages etc., wouldn't the one he presses the button on first (even a microsecond) "hog the bandwidth" so to speak, allowing a slight edge? You'd think the Nexus would be a hands-down winner and the test would just be to show by how wide a margin.

  • This vid doesn't prove anything, it's only about unimportant stuff...

  • they are both the same phone,they only difference is OS and design and the reason the nexus comes with a disappointing 5mp camera is so next year they can upgrade it to an 8mp cam, slap a new name and case on it and market it as a new flagship phone

  • @tarutan21 no...it's 8MP standard.

  • @rjizzy86 my bad...i read that too quickly

  • omg really? does it matter if one phone loads a webpage .05 seconds faster than the other? When deciding on one of these phones you look at design, functionality, durability, and of all those qualities ask yourself which one you like and need more.

  • @tarutan21 You look at Specs, Durability, and weight with the Design. Web Page loading is pretty important spec-wise. Your Processor and Data Speed makes up web page speeds. A Dual-Core Exynos Processor vs. a TI OMAP Processor is no competition at all. Exynos has better specs overall.

  • govnoed ebanyi

  • not real

  • android - bloatware

  • Nexus is nowhere near that slow guy ruined it

  • Holy shit those phones take long to boot. I'll stick to my iPhone.

  • @Thebassjunk yeah because u need to boot it as many times as u make calls and text people right?

  • @rjizzy86 You can call and text on an iPhone just as well. 1+1 is better than 1+0.

  • @Thebassjunk lol...u were complaining about the boot time? how many times do u boot a day? as many times as u text and call? we all know what an iphone can do? we just do it better!

  • @rjizzy86 That's why I said 1+1 is better than 1+0. Better all the functions you have PLUS fast boot time than not having a fast boot time. And I'm sorry, but having a cluttered looking OS doesn't mean you do anything better.

  • @Thebassjunk Please explain how its cluttered? How many times do u boot a day? ONCE? lol..yeah u should be sorry!

  • @Thebassjunk HE ALSO STATED IT'S RUNNING A CUSTOM KERNEL. oh wait..u dont know what that is do you!!!!

  • @rjizzy86 Your Android seems to have a caps lock malfunction. That, or you're raging. In which case I am more than satisfied by your response. trollface.jpg

  • @Thebassjunk I TYPE HOW I WANT..look up "Samsung Galaxy Nexus First Boot"...

    NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!

  • @rjizzy86 Raging kid alert. Lmao.

  • @Thebassjunk NA NOT RAGING..just proving dumb fucks like u WRONG!

    I ain't no kid, in fact i'd be big enough to snap u in half and rape ur mum at the same time!

    "Raging Kid Alert" is that it? is that suppose to insult? I'm probably ur Dad! Say hi to ur mum for me!

  • @rjizzy86 Oh god, please have mercy on me you dangerous internet rascal. Your choice of words and form of "discussion" say more than enough. If you're not a kid, you must be a retard.

  • @Thebassjunk Your choice of words make you out into a little bitch! I've proved you clearly wrong.

    And this is your retaliation....it's weak and pathetic.

  • @rjizzy86 Bla bla bla rage rage rage, that's all I hear. You didn't prove anything because you're unable to discuss. You seem to lack any speech or reading comprehension and fail to sound like a normal person. You're simply a retard smashing his face on his keyboard at full speed.

  • S2 just owns it bro

  • what are you using for background image/live wallpaper in the nexus? Looks sweet.

  • @lusheando Just a picture from a free wallpaper app.

  • 1:10 to boot? you need to change your kernel thats terrible...my gnex boots in 32-34 seconds

  • I am a Samsung Galaxy S II owner and this video gave me a lot of hope back. I don't care that much about themes or look as long as I can check my emails, socialize with friends, watch hd videos, play games, take photos etc as good as SGS2 does. I installed 4.0.3 lately on the S2, it doesn't have that much difference but has some good ICS features that you can find on the Galaxy Nexus, it's fast and it doesn't have bugs. That's all I need. Peace out! :)

  • Where can I get the theme you are using on the SGS2 too and does it run on 4.0.3 TouchWiz I am running?

  • What's the name of your screen saver? I like it.

  • My nexus doesn't take that long !!!!!!

  • what's up with ICS and the choppiness?

  • GS2 is faster obvious, not close.....

  • 1:11 Galaxy Nexus finally boots

  • Samsung galaxy nexus has the same hardware as the s2

  • When i look at the screens my biggest complaint for the nexus would be not having super amoled plus over that pentile crap. if they can fix that they can have the best screen displays easy.

  • Why the Galaxy Nexus is slower than Galaxy S2 almost in everything? Gosh.

  • man the nexus took a year to power up

  • Wow, my GSM Galaxy Nexus (Running Stock version, non rooted) never takes that long to load.

  • GS2 is in a class of its own! A champion smartphone that proved Android can be a lag free experience. The Nexus looks choppy to me. Especially in the maps and Facebook. Its unforgivable lag that shouldn't be there. GS2 is the best smartphone period.

  • @accellpo gs2 is still more laggy than a first generation single core windows phone from last year.

    maybe the galaxy s3 with an overclocked quad core can match it.

  • i like the samsum galaxy 2, were you buy please.

  • @chacal309 Negri Electronics has good prices and worldwide shipping.

  • @foxfire235 LOL 650$ is not a good price for the sgs2. on amazon its like 420 ! surreptitious advertising!

  • @chacal309 phone shops all around the world

  • Hoe How dare you compare the GNeX to any phone!

  • One does not simply compare a jaguar to a cheetah!

  • s2 is an android legend

  • iPhone is the best

  • Nice Vid dude !!!

  • lol the screen on galaxy s brightness must be on user setting so that works even better

  • the galaxy s2 is just as good???!!!! whats all the hype about the nexus?!

  • @dmury12: I'd get the nexus for upgrades, it will receive them earlier

  • Not so sure a sbs comparison is much use when custom kernels are used

  • you got faceniff on your device? woha =D

  • SG2 is a little bit faster but it looks really crappy compared to Nexus

  • Nexus s all the way

  • Samung is the best cell phone producer , fuck on apple !

  • galaxy Nexus is the best android phone so far , fuck galaxy S2

  • @farhanmahim you really dont know what s2 is ryt?....just see the boot time

  • ХОЧУ!

    

  • bravo best review comparation 10x man

  • @9:19 iPhone on camera roll :)

  • At 1:25, how do you do that with cameras?

  • @aGhettoTwinky ? it's a webcam program widget.

  • @aGhettoTwinky name of the program ?

  • My galaxy note will shit on both of them

  • @FrozemAMD Thanks for the brilliant insight. Don't lose your stupid little stylus. 

  • I love my S2, it's a great phone and I'm sure the nexus is aswell. I think it all comes down to the fact that samsung makes awesome phones

  • I just want to say, that in some moments the nexus was kind of faster than the S2?? If you dont mind me saying that?? So maybe you should watch the video 1 more time and see

  • haha the s 2 boots much faster then the g nexus ;)

  • @0893luca but I hardly ever reboot my phone.

  • ok man , time for thre real question, ..

    wtf you did with the galaxy nexus..

    My galaxy s boots up faster than it ..

  • @88bastey No I am not "retarded". I know how to write a fluent English sentence. I completely understand that some people "might don't" like the look of the SII but I am a bit more economical. They are basically the same performance wise. Therefore my argument is to save money and just get the SII. Before you call someone "retarded" or "stupid," make sure what "u" write makes sense you RETARD.
