Before we get into the testing we will compare all the specs together
The memory is 12GB and 6GB respectively
besides 128GB iphone the saving space is the same
the processor is the best for both brands
Camera was a big deal for galaxy’s 2million pixels
iphone continued to have 1200k pixels
but recently in 14 series it upgraded to 4800k pixels
the display is 6.8inch and 6.7inch respectively which is similar
Performance test
Most importantly we will look at the CPU/GPU rate
We will use geekbench to look at the CPU
First Galaxy is single-core 2011, multi-core 5222
iPhone is single-core 2524, multi-core 6476
And let’s check out the GPU
It’s the result of Galaxy S23
Next it’s the result of iPhone 14 Pro Max
iPhone had higher CPU, both had similar GPU retentivity but Galaxy had a higher value
(CPU - iPhone / GPU - Galaxy) They each took one in the performance test
Speed test
Now I’ll do various speed tests and find out which one has higher speed
First let’s look at the power booting
I’ll turn them off and turn them on at the same time
iPhone was turned on first and then Galaxy was turned on
Next I’ll go into a portal site
iPhone was slightly faster and immediately after that Galaxy worked
Now it’s the store, Galaxy was faster by a hair’s breadth
Now it’s YouTube, iPhone was slightly faster
Next I’ll turn on the music app, for the music app Galaxy was faster
Next I’ll go into an OTT, for OTT Galaxy was faster
Next it’s shopping app, Galaxy worked first and then iPhone worked
Lastly it’s game, iPhone was slightly faster for game
Additionally, I’ll check out the scanning rate of each product
It was a delicate difference but Galaxy feels to work more smoothly
I’ll check out the video rendering this time
I’ll work with the same video and extract it
I’ll apply the same effect on a 720p video and extract them at the same time
After rendering started, Galaxy was faster at first
But at the last stage, iPhone was completed first
Next I’ll apply the same effect on a 1080p video and extract them at the same time
Rendering was done at the same time and Galaxy was faster for this video
Lastly, I’ll apply the same effect on a 4K video and look at the rendering speed
When rendering was done at the same time, Galaxy was slightly faster
To recap, iPhone had a faster power booting speed
For app launching, the speed of the two products was similar for six apps
And scanning rate was similar but Galaxy worked more smoothly
Galaxy had a faster video rendering speed
The two products both had similar speed for the speed test
Heating test
I’ll look at the heating of each product
I’ll play a game and watch a video for 30 minutes with each product
After using it for an hour, I’ll find the product that heated less
First I’ll activate a game for 30 minutes
Next I’ll watch the same video for 30 minutes
After using for an hour, I’ll check them with a thermal imaging camera
On the thermal image, they look similar with no big difference
I’ll measure the temperature
The rear temperature of Galaxy is approximately 33 degrees C
The rear temperature of iPhone is approximately 29.1 degrees C
iPhone was less heated in this heat test
Camera test
Now I’ll check out the camera performance of each product
We’re going to put both products in the same setting and start shooting
First, we’ll shoot a regular object
The Galaxy is brighter, and the iPhone photo is clearer
This time, we will compare how both products work on letters written on paper
I think the Galaxy came out brighter this time too
Next, we will take a portrait photo
In the case of portraits, the iPhone was brighter
This time, we’re shooting outdoors
Galaxy is a bit brighter this time, too
The iPhone photo was similar to that of the naked eye
The iPhone is able to clearly capture objects with a darker color
In this case, the photo taken by the Galaxy is brighter,
But the iPhone better captures the details of the object
Next, we will look into how each phones perform on pictures taken with 3x zoom
First, the Galaxy on 3x zoom
The building sign is quite clear on the photo
Next we will look into iPhone’s 3x zoom
Due to the light glare from the sign, the photo is harder to read
Next, we will try shooting in a dark environment
We will compare the results with both phones on the same settings
The Galaxy tends to be hazy but generally brighter
The iPhone photo is clearer but the area around the object came out bright
Next we will move on to test the image stabilization of both phones
Both the Galaxy and the iPhone were on the same settings
In the case of the Galaxy, the cars on either side of the road are filmed clearly and the image stabilization seems to be effective
For the iPhone, it effectively corrects most vibrations but is a little lacking on the details of the object
Let’s examine the results
When filming objects and written letters indoors, the Galaxy tended to be brighter
whereas for portrait pictures the iPhone was brighter
When in a setting with lights outdoors, the Galaxy was a bit brighter than the iPhone
but in darker colored objects the iPhone photos were more vivid and bright
In the case of photos taken with 3x zoom, the iPhone was brighter but was blurry
The Galaxy photo was darker but with less glare from the light
In a dark environment both products produced bright photos
But the iPhone depicted the object in more detail
The Galaxy was more effective in terms of image stabilization
(Although it may be up to personal preference) As a result of the camera tests, the Galaxy proved to be a little bit better
The Voice Assistant test
(Bixby VS Siri) We will also test the Voice Assistant which people often use
Set an alarm for two hours
For simple commands like setting the alarm both products made the cut
What day is Children’s Day next year?
The Galaxy misheard next year as every year
(Fail / Success)
How many holidays do we have next year?
On the third question, Galaxy provided us with the specific number
and the iPhone gave us the search results
Tell me the route from Seoul to Busan
This time upon asking directions, Galaxy provided us with (additional) options
and the iPhone gave directions right away
Tell me today’s fine dust concentration
For fine dust concentration, Galaxy answered well but iPhone needed an additional search
Tell me the nearest convenience store
For the last question, iPhone answered well at once
Galaxy had additional options
iPhone had a more accurate voice assistant
Speaker test
The next test is the speaker
I’ll look for the product with higher decibel when prepared music was turned on at full blast
First it’s Galaxy
I’ll measure at a distance of about 10cm from the product
It’s about 95.9dB for Galaxy
Next it’s iPhone, I’ll measure at the same position
It’s about 95.5dB for iPhone
With a little difference, Galaxy had a higher decibel
Charging test
Before starting the test, I fully charged both products to 100%
After all the tests were done, Galaxy had 51% remaining battery and iPhone has 60%
Now I’ll charge both products with the same charger at the same time
Connect and start charging at the same time! I’ll charge for only 10 minutes
After 10 minutes, I’ll check how much was charged
First, Galaxy was charged about 18% in 10 minutes from 51% to 69%
iPhone was charged about 8% in 10 minutes from 60% to 68%
(Galaxy VS iPhone final results)
We did seven tests here at Gawnganli and I’ll do a recap of each of the result
At performance test, iPhone has higher CPU and Galaxy had higher GPU
Next for speed test, iPhone had higher power booting speed
Both products had similar app launching speed
And for heating test, after being used for an hour by game and video
iPhone was less heated
For camera test, there would be differences in tastes and preferences
But Galaxy had brighter photos overall and iPhone had clear photos
But for prevention of hand tremor, Galaxy prevented the tremor better
For voice assistants, iPhone had clearer answers
For speaker performances, Galaxy had a higher decibel with a very small difference
When charged for 10 minutes, Galaxy charged more
