[Part X] Samsung Focus - Focus vs. White iPhone 4 (Design, hardware, speed tests, etc)

UPDATE ON JULY 1, 2011
Because of the complaints surrounding this video, I decided to watch the entire thing. For the speed tests, the Focus boots faster, but there are a lot of other variables associated with why the iPhone 4 was so slow. The Focus also won most of the web page loading tests, but for most of those, it didn't render the REAL smartphone/mobile version of it. And finally, the iPhone 4 won ALL of the app loading tests by a large margin. I don't see why people are complaining so much. I gave the Focus praise where it was due. It's just slow when it comes to loading apps. Microsoft should've waited until it had all of the features that it has coming in the Mango update. Those features should've been there right from the get-go. Just because WP7 is newer than iOS doesn't make up for the excuse of its lack of features and apps. Microsoft knew what they had to do to make a good phone (iOS and Android devices have been out for how long now?), but they're going way too slow. End of story.

**WARNING**
Incredibly long video. I'll put some of the times of certain things down below.

haha you suck bro. theres no clear winner. iphone didnt win. samsung focus didnt win. it all comes down to your personal opinion because theres not any significant differences that makes one perform over the other. processors are just as fast as each others. the only big differences are in screen resolution with retina display but its lessened alot with the fact that the focus has an AMOLED. other than that performance is very similar.

gumballtech is a gay name also. just sayin.

@socom0120 Hmm... iPhone clearly won most of the tests. Don't be stupid.

[socom0120]

@gumballtech youre fuckin retarded. who cares about the split second differences between iphone and the focus. youre a huge doucher if you think iphone "wins" overall. no one likes a doucher

[gumballtech]

@socom0120 Doucher? Laughing. My. Fucking. Ass. Off. Split second differences? Look again.

The review was fine. What's the big deal. What's with the name calling and such. It was a review.

[Spicyholiday1]

Haha I think one of the reasons the iPhone seems to load faster is because of the transition effects on the Samsung Focus.... But still a good review, I don't know why everyone is bitching.

the windows phone is way better now cuz of all of its new updates. also there is a butto on the windows phone that lets you go to bing instantly.

@SALMANNNNNNN thanks for the tip, but this started happening when i DID update it..

[SALMANNNNNNN]

@YoojMr maybe a minor glitch happens to everyone one way or the other even if its android or iphone.....just get it to a service centre.....they will fix it in no time....or try updating the phone....:)

[YoojMr]

@SALMANNNNNNN no, i click the power button and it flashes twice. it keeps occurring until the other person ends the call.

[SALMANNNNNNN]

@YoojMr its because you cant find the end button...
