(Video) - Nexus 6p vs iPhone SE Speed and RAM Management - Nexus 6P General

Update:
I did a rematch video, but this time the N6P is armed with a custom ROM which is not encrypted. (Still stock based) - Stock+
Take a look if you are interested to see just how much of a difference this un-encryption makes.

I compared our Nexus 6p against my wife's iPhone SE, and I must say the results are not that pleasant. Take a look....

Low res vs high res, highly optimized OS built for 3 phones vs android (which needs to accommodate any hardware on hundreds of combination's)
Even if I don't mention the A cores in the SE with the optimizations to the OS even a slower CPU would beat the 6P simply due to the afore mentioned points if it was designed as the SE is.
Now just to put a smile back on your face, show her kodi on your phone, then ask her to Bluetooth you a picture

I get the point that different things run differently. Otherwise, I don't get your point beyond it being an advert for your site. In other words? Clickbait.

I don't have a site.
I like tech, and making tech videos. I have a nexus 6p, which is what this forum is about, and I compared it to an iPhone SE for speed and ram management, and shared it in a forum where many would be interested to see it.
Yeah, total click bait.

You are right, but the SE has almost the same exact components as the 6s, which came out roughly as the same time as the 6p

I wonder if the memory performance in Android devices will improve if the android devices are not simultaneously holding 5 plus desktop pages of widgets on an additional launcher.
Outside of that - the comparision is fair. We all know Android is less memory efficient and likely less battery efficient - but also that it does have more data on your finger tips by home screens and widgets always on

BTW (and my apologies for going off topic), I'm fully supportive of your making a new channel and going for it. I've watched other content you've made (see attached). I'm just not sure about the point you're making in this video beyond some subjective blah with two devices that are already set up in very different ways. Go harder and make something more, well, pointed.
I'm sure you get my point.

Thanks for the feedback. I just wanted to address some of the platform loyalty that goes on in tech, and in my opinion the best way to do that is a speed and ram management comparison.

Unfortunately you are wasting your time here. A lot of people here (or Android fans in general) can have both phones in their own hands and still wouldn't admit that the iPhone is faster.
They will just bring up things that it lacks, which has already happened in this thread in fact. When in reality Android lacks things that ios has too. But again, they won't see that side of it.
Your video was very cut and dry and confirms what I've always known as an Android fan... ios is faster, smoother and more efficient for the most part. And as I said, I'm a huge Android fan and don't own any iPhone's.
With all that being said, I still won't buy an iPhone. I like more things about Android than I do ios. If that ever changes then I will get an iPhone. I don't get into the whole loyalty and fanboy mentality.
Good job on the video.

Thanks!
I am one of the biggest Apple bashers around, but you have to admit that ios has really come a long way in the last 3 years. Remember when you could not even multi-task on it?
Im also sticking with Android even if a cheaper ios device outperforms the current official android flagship.

Interesting... Rather disappointing, but it's honestly what I expected. Thanks for the comparison!

You don't have to read wizeguyz' posts because they're essentially all the same. He's totally guilty of the same bias he accuses others of. You can go browse the 6P forums and look at posts that express something negative about the 6P and chances are extremely high that he liked those posts.
Regarding the video: I'm curious as to how an unencrypted 6P would compare. I'm convinced that encryption slows down this device, I don't care what benchmarks say - I've compared and it's completely noticeable in real world usage.

I like to do stock out of the box comparisons.

I DNK two devices setup differently is about as real world as it gets
Not two devices outta the box and not setup to compare base lines is unrealistic

I'm biased about what? I'm a huge Android supporter and fan. I don't currently own any iPhone and I've only owned one for very short periods of time just to test and experience.
As for the 6P specifically, I simply don't like the build quality and a few other quirks. All my personal opinion. Overall I think it's a good phone and I prefer Android over ios any day of the week.
I think I'm biased just to you and a few others because my opinion doesn't line up with yours about the 6P. It's a very common thing, not just with the 6P. Someone can only post positive comments and like every positive post about the 6P and it will easily go unnoticed. But if someone does the opposite, it's a bias, troll, etc.
This type of stuff happens everyday on other boards of all sorts of things, not just phones. At the end of the day I know it's just a phone and I don't let it bother like it seems to bother some here.

Sorry mate, but what does IOS have that android doesn't. Not as a device but as an operating system..
I think you'll find the latter is more feature rich.
I'm not bashing apple either, take a look in my sig, you'll see I had an iPhone 6 and although I did like it, it simply didn't offer half of what Android does.
Greater choice of applications was pretty much the biggest thing for me but that system is on lock down, I had to get rid.

Did you not read that I prefer Android any day of the week and won't buy an iPhone?
I was just referring to some things that people prefer on ios like iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
I never once said I prefer ios or think it's more feature rich. Settle down, lol.
