Hey what's up guys, this is David from Phone Buff and in this video we're gonna be doing a speed comparison test between not just two devices but two totally different operating systems on the left we have the Samsung Galaxy S3 representing Android Jelly Bean and on the right of course we have the Z10 running on the brand new Blackberry 10 OS.

We'll start by looking at how they compare in terms of loading times. We're going to load up a website first, and then see which one loads up faster. So, let's go ahead and load it up through Google Chrome on both devices. As you can see, they're pretty much neck and neck when it comes to loading times. They seem to finish at the same time. But we want to test this further, so let's try scrolling through the website on both devices. Go ahead and scroll up and down on the S3 and notice that there is a little bit of white boxing going on, but everything else seems to be rather smooth.

Now, let's try the same on the Z10. As you can see, there is a bunch more skipping going on, and there isn't any kind of white boxing going on. This might be the reason why the performance seems to be a little bit worse. But nonetheless, I see that the S3 is definitely smoother and loading up faster than the Z10 in this test. Alright guys, let's move on to our next article we're seeing the content first on the Z10 and it looks like the Z10 is done, while the S3 is still loading.

We'll go ahead and load up another website, and see which one loads up first. So, let's tap on these links at the same time and again, we see the content maybe a millisecond faster than the Z10 compared to the S3. Honestly, milliseconds don't really matter you know if the difference isn't a couple of seconds then it doesn't really matter and you'll never notice it unless you're using the devices side by side click on an article, you get the same result.

Let's try one more time and load up the full version website to see if that makes a difference. So, let's tap on the full site link on The Verge and as you can see, we're seeing the content first on the Z10, which has pretty much been the theme throughout this test. And now we can see some of the thumbnails still haven't loaded up, but they seem to have loaded up anyway. Definitely a more significant difference in the Z10 compared to last test.

But let's take a closer look at the scrolling experience on both devices. Go ahead and swipe through The Verge website on the S3 and notice that it responds right away and is very smooth. On the other hand, the Z10 takes a couple of swipes for its scrolling to respond. And while it's not terrible, it's definitely not as smooth as the S3.

Overall, we found that Android just runs faster than the Blackberry 10 OS, especially when it comes to app performance. But what's interesting is that these two devices are very close in terms of hardware, so we really got to see the differences in speed optimizations from each OS. And while the Z10 has some advantages over the S3, such as a brighter screen and a more modern interface, the S3's smooth scrolling experience and faster app performance make it the winner here.

That's pretty much it for me in this video, so if you guys liked it please give it a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. For more mobile technology videos just like this, be sure to check out our other content. Thanks for watching!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys this is david here from phone buff and in this video we're gonna be doing a speed comparison test between not just two devices but two totally different operating systems on the left we have the samsung galaxy s3 representing android jelly bean and on the right of course we have the z10 running on the brand new blackberry 10 os now the reason why we're using the s3 and the z10 here in this video is because not only can both phones be considered the flagship device for their respective operating systems but they are also nearly identical in hardware which should give us a pretty good idea as to which os is actually faster so let's get right into it with our first test where we'll turn on both phones to see which one loads up its respective os first while these guys are loading i'll let you know that both phones have the same dual core snapdragon s4 processor clocked at 1.5 gigahertz they both also have 2 gigabytes of ram and are both pushing hd resolutions on their displays i've also cleared out the browsing history and cache on both devices and have them both connected to the same wi-fi network so it's gonna be as fair as the test as you could possibly get as we waited out and watched the boot up animations on each smartphone i want to point out something really cool on the z10 or the blackberry 10 os itself which is it actually gives you an indicator as to how far the os is loaded up so here we can see the s3 did load up first so it actually wins in the boot up test we'll go ahead and unlock it just to make sure that everything is loaded up fine but going back to what i was saying about the z10 you'd actually see the indicator and if you press and hold on the screen you get a percentage which you know is about about 40 which obviously is nowhere close to where the s3 is so the s3 gets a clear win here so let's go ahead and go on to the next test alright so the next test we're doing here is the app speed or application speed test basically we'll load up a couple of the same apps or at least similar apps on both phones to see which one loads up and runs them faster so the first app we'll try here is one of my favorites and that's flickster keep in mind that all the apps we're going to be testing here are written a bit differently but these tests still give you a good idea of the real world experience you'll get with each device so as you can see the s3 loaded the app a bit faster than the z10 so go ahead and tap on the dvd tab to see if it makes a difference and this time actually the z10 seemed to finish up first loading up all the movie details and the thumbnails a little bit faster so i'll call this test a draw so the next app i'll test here is going to be the score mobile app so we'll go ahead and tap them at the same time and see which one actually loads up first so it looks like the s3 is just about done and we're still waiting on the z10 and while we wait for it to finish loading up i'll go ahead and take this opportunity to tell you that blackberry actually did release a software update which is supposed to help with third-party app performance so basically situations like this and unfortunately i haven't yet received that update on my z10 so that's something to definitely keep in mind but just in case it makes a dramatic difference i'll go ahead and test a couple of native apps and see what the results are there alright so just to let you guys know i actually fast forwarded the last 13 seconds because it was taking forever to load so i'll go ahead and back out of here and notice that we're keeping the apps open the background to test the multitasking we'll open up the native calculators on each phone and it's up on the s3 and again we're still waiting on the blackberry z10 or the blackberry 10 os it's now open and honestly if it takes that long you know every time which it doesn't sometimes it loads up faster sometimes it's slower this case feels slower you're probably better off doing it in your head as far as the calculation goes so last app we'll test here is going to be the camera see which one is going to capture those kodak moments s3 already loaded up and now the z10 and blackberry 10 os is done so as a whole you could tell that android jelly bean you know loads up applications just a lot faster than the blackberry 10 os so with that said let's go ahead and move on to the next test which is the browser test to see if we get similar results so just a reminder i did clear out the browsing history and cache on both devices and i also closed out the apps on both phones as well and i just because i know some of you guys are going to ask the brightness is actually set to full on both phones and uh both in the browser and in the settings the difference here isn't as noticeable in person as it shows up on camera but nonetheless the z10 screen is a bit brighter so for all these browser checks i'm actually gonna be loading it through google first so that was no preloading going on first sight we're testing here is foam buff and as you can see they're pretty much neck and neck and they seem to finish at the same time so we're actually going to test the scrolling so go ahead and scroll up and down on the s3 and notice that there is a little bit of white boxing going on but everything else seems to be rather smooth we'll try the same on the z10 and we are getting a bunch more skipping but notice that there isn't any kind of white boxing going on so that might be the reason why uh the performance seems to be a little bit worse but nonetheless i see the s3 is definitely smoother and loading up this next article we're seeing the content first on the z10 and it looks like the z10 is done s3 is still loading so wind goes to the z10 here for phone buff we'll go ahead and go to another site so next site we test is going to be in gadget we'll go ahead and tap on them at the same time and see which one actually loads the first so again the z10 actually shows the content first and seems to finish loading up first as well as far as the status bar goes we'll try the scrolling again here and not that much content going on so pretty smooth on both devices actually so we'll go ahead and try an article here and pretty much consistently we're seeing the content first on the z10 and seems to load up maybe just a split second faster than the s3 so let's go ahead and try another site so the third and final website we'll test is going to be the verge so go ahead and tap on the links at the same time and again we see the content maybe a millisecond faster than the z10 compared to the s3 honestly milliseconds don't really matter you know if the difference isn't a couple of seconds then it doesn't really matter and you'll never notice it unless you're using the devices side by side click on an article you get the same result but so far we've only tested mobile sites so let's go ahead and load the full version website to see if that makes a difference so we'll go ahead and tap on the full site link on the verge and actually the verge is one of the better websites to test because their full site has so much content and so much media that it really gives you a good idea as far as the capabilities of each device here and you can see we're seeing the content first on the z10 which has pretty much been the theme and seems to be just about done on the s3 now we're seeing the content you can see some of the thumbnails still haven't loaded up now they seem to have loaded up so definitely a more significant difference in the z10 compared to last test but you can see the scrolling here it's not even responding to my touch until you know a couple of swipes and uh swiping is not necessarily the smoothest but it's not that bad either on the s3 responds right away and definitely a much smoother scrolling experience so the theme generally with the browsers go that you maybe get a millisecond or a couple of seconds faster on the z10 as far as loading times go but on the s3 you're getting a much smoother scrolling experience alright guys that's our speed comparison test between the z10 and the galaxy s3 again what's interesting here is that these two devices are very close in terms of hardware so we really got to see the differences in speed optimizations from each os and overall we found that android just runs faster than the blackberry 10 os especially when it comes to app performance of course blackberry could fix this problem with a couple of updates just like android did with project butter and jelly bean but for now android is the winner here and that's pretty much it for me in this video so if you guys liked it please give it a thumbs up and be
