Why are they called phablets? They are no bigger than most cell phones my kids and wife have. I confess to woeful ignorance, probably willful too. When I buy though, I want to understand a bit more than what some pimply faced kid tells me, or my children who buy advertising, not quality.
I read an article the other day about what Apple has done to their mobile processor technology. Of course, the started with a pretty standard ARM proocessor, but since then they have done many generations of enhancements, and now they are significantly ahead of the competition in terms of processing horsepower per watt,
We've tested all the best smartphones – which is the fastest?-- By James Rogerson -- TechRadar UK -- December 15, 2015It's a super phone showdown
We've seen a boatload of enormously powerful phones land this year, but just how fast are they? It's all well and good pointing to oct-core processors, but that doesn't always mean much when the dual-core iPhone 6S is such a reliably speedy performer.
Benchmarks give us an idea of how handsets compare, but even those tests don't really reflect real-world performance. So we've done what no benchmark can: here at tech radar we've taken five of the fastest phones of 2015 and tested them by hand.
The Microsoft Lumia 950 and Sony Xperia Z5 will go up against the older Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 6S and LG G4.
Sprint to the finish
All the phones begin our test turned off. They then have to boot up and do two laps of ten apps, including games, social media, email and more.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a huge amount of power, but it doesn't cache games. The Xperia Z5 has an octa-core chip, but Sony's phones are often slow to boot. The iPhone 6S is underpowered on paper, but always seems slick in practice.
We're not going to spoil the fun – you can see it all play out in our video test below – but when it comes to boot times the iPhone 6S is the fastest at just 13:19, followed closely by the Samsung Galaxy S6 at 16:28.
The LG G4 trails way behind at 28:18, the Lumia 950 is even slower at 35:26 and the Xperia Z5 is the worst performer, with a boot time of 42:07.
Can the Xperia Z5 make up for that lost time? Will the iPhone 6S retain its lead? There's only one way to find out…
(Gentlemen Start your engines. The Techradar Race of Standard-Sized Smartphones)
The results:
- FIRST PLACE: iPhone 6S, finished all tasks in 02:20:25 minutes.
- SECOND PLACE: Samsung Galaxy S6, finished all tasks in 02:26:24 minutes.
- THIRD PLACE: LG G4, finished all tasks in 02:31:15 minutes.
- FOURTH PLACE: Sony Xperia Z5, finished all tasks in 02:51:15 minutes.
- FIFTH PLACE: Microsoft Lumia 950, finished all tasks in 03:26:29 minutes.
Again, the iPhone 6S won the race and the Microsoft Windows phone came in dead last by over a minute slower.
One Plus - One phone !!! (and now the Two)
Go away with your rotten Apples.
