OnePlus 3 vs Galaxy S7 SPEED TEST Comparison
**Detailed Speed Test Comparison: OnePlus 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge**
Welcome to another episode of Super Saf TV’s detailed speed test comparison! In this video, we’re putting two powerful smartphones head-to-head: the **OnePlus 3** and the **Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge**. We’ll be testing them in various real-world scenarios, including camera launches, fingerprint scanner speeds, app performance, gaming capabilities, and RAM management multitasking tests. Let’s dive right into the details!

### Introduction and Setup
Before we start, let’s clarify a few things:
- **Versions Used**: I’m using the **Exynos version of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge** for this test.
- **Key Focus**: One thing I’m particularly interested in seeing is how the **2GB extra RAM on the OnePlus 3** will impact its performance compared to the S7 Edge.
- **Sponsorship Note**: If you like the skins I’m using on both devices, check out our sponsor for this episode, **dbrand**. They offer a wide range of customizable smartphone skins, and I’ve included a link in the description below.

### Software and Benchmark Tests
To keep things fair, both devices are running the latest software available at the time of filming, with no settings tweaked—this is how you’d get them out of the box.
- **Geekbench 3 Results**:
- The **OnePlus 3** scores higher on **single-core performance**.
- The **Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge**, however, edges out in **multi-core performance**.

### Fingerprint Scanner Speed Test
I’ve done a separate video on fingerprint scanner speeds before, but here’s a quick recap:
- The **OnePlus 3**’s fingerprint scanner is slightly faster compared to the **Galaxy S7 Edge**.
- Double pressing the standby button on the OnePlus 3 launches the camera faster than double-pressing the home button on the S7 Edge.
---
### Camera Launch Test
Testing camera launch times:
- **OnePlus 3**: Double press the standby button.
- **Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge**: Double press the home button.
When slowed down, both devices launched their cameras almost simultaneously. It was a neck-and-neck race!

### App Performance Tests
Let’s test how quickly each device opens apps:
1. **BBC News (Chrome)**:
- Both devices started with no previous apps open.
- Opening BBC News in Chrome showed that the **Galaxy S7 Edge finished first**.
- However, when going into the first story, the **OnePlus 3 finished slightly faster**.
2. **Instagram**:
- Opening Instagram simultaneously resulted in a tie.
- Navigating to my profile page and opening an image also showed no significant difference between the two devices.
3. **YouTube**:
- The homepage loaded similarly on both devices.
- When testing with a specific subscription feed, the **OnePlus 3 started playing the video ever so slightly quicker**.
4. **Twitter**:
- Both devices performed well, but the **OnePlus 3 was marginally faster** when refreshing the feed.

### Gaming Performance Tests
Let’s move on to gaming performance:
1. **Temple Run 2**:
- The **Galaxy S7 Edge loaded the game first**, finishing ahead of the OnePlus 3.
2. **Subway Surfer**:
- Again, the **S7 Edge was quicker** in loading this 3D game.
3. **Dead Trigger 2**:
- The **Galaxy S7 Edge took the win** here as well, with faster load times.
4. **Unkilled (another 3D game)**:
- The **S7 Edge continued to dominate**, showing better performance in loading these graphically intensive games.
5. **Asphalt 8**:
- A more graphically demanding game.
- The **Galaxy S7 Edge finished first, with the OnePlus 3 trailing by a few seconds**.
6. **Real Boxing to the Rocky Edition**:
- This was a close one.
- The **OnePlus 3 finished ever so slightly faster**, though both devices performed impressively.

### RAM Management and Multitasking Tests
To test RAM management, we left all previous apps running in the background and opened additional games:
- **Background Apps**: Both devices struggled equally when reloading apps like Chrome, Instagram, YouTube, and Temple Run 2.
- **Games**: When opening Asphalt 8 and Real Boxing, both devices had to reload these games upon returning to them.
---
### Final Thoughts
After running through all these tests, here’s what I found:
- For **graphically intensive games**, the **Galaxy S7 Edge** performed better overall.
- In terms of **RAM management**, neither device stood out as particularly excellent. However, the **OnePlus 3 managed to keep a few smaller apps open in the background**, while the S7 Edge had to reload almost everything.
