iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 Speed Test: LTE Speeds, Geekbench Scores [VIDEO]

The iPhone 5 Is Up To Twice As Fast As The Samsung Galaxy S III

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Sid|Jump To Comments |

During Apple’s keynote at the launch of the iPhone 5, it was stated that the iPhone 5 is two times faster than the iPhone 4S. What about the competition then? Well, here’s your answer. The iPhone 5 pretty much beats all the top Android phones in the market, including the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Speed Test: Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S III

Many reports have been surfacing lately, showing that the iPhone 5 indeed performs much better than the Samsung Galaxy S III. And now, there’s a video to back all that. Of course, the Galaxy S III used in the following video is a dual-core version, but then again, the iPhone 5 too has an Apple A6 dual-core processor. The Galaxy S III’s processor clocks at about 1.5GHz, whereas the iPhone 5′s fluctuates between 800Mhz- 1Ghz. Despite of the difference in clock speeds, the iPhone 5 fared very well against the S III. Several industry benchmark tools such as GeekBench, GLBenchmark and the SunSpider test were conducted to see who wins the duel. Check out the video below to see what happened.

As you can see, the iPhone 5 won all three tests. Those graphics were really laggy on the Galaxy SIII, but super smooth on the iPhone 5. What’s your pick?

Twice as fast? I don’t think so. ANd it was laggy because there were programs running in the backround on the GS3

So what your saying is that the GS3 Multitasking makes the phone run crap? So that makes the iPhone one better as i can run load in the background doesnt lag at all.

hey “iphone45″, done my own tests too and guess what… this video is solid. Using the data off these tests and a reference point, I got extremely precise results. So idunno what planet ur on, but iPhone owns the Galaxy S3 hands down.

So, it’s android’s fault… Which comes preloaded in the galaxy S3 which makes it suck!
Who the hell wants a OS that requires you to even turn off multitasking processes?

1837
Section Score
Geekbench 2.3.4 for Android ARMv7
Integer 1605
Floating Point 2786
Memory 1199
Stream 610

Well, that’s 200 point more for the s3. On the international s3.

Blind? First of all, Galaxy here running a custom rom AND Galaxy was meant to be a quad core phone in the first place, not a dual core. Secondly, Apple released iPhone 5 four months later, with better tech than the Galaxy… it’s obvious that it will “faster”.

I just ran GeeBench on my international GS3 which is already updated to the official Jelly Bean Update which was released yesterday. Score was 1797! lol @ apple!

Many people got better results, not just him.

Actually no, to be fair, after intentionally opening multiple apps on my iPhone 5, it benchmarks consistently under 1500 on geekbench. Any phone will lag slightly with multiple apps open. Clearing the memory and quitting processes is something we have all done on our phones (since iPhone 4, iPhone 4S i had before as well) and will continue to do to keep it running smooth. We just like to justify our own purchases. I wish Apple had made a larger screen though.

iPhone has and always will be a Superior product both in manufacturing quality, and technical specifications regardless of its release date (let’s all remember who was first) versus a release date of another competitors. The bottom line is you cannot compete with Apple there is no comparison!

Thanks. Despite working a lot harder than the iPhone – and in some cases almost TWICE as hard – the GS3 still gets stomped.

I love my new iPhone. It’s perfectly built and perfectly sized. And I can’t stop *staring* at it!
