Got an update Iike epicrayban. It wasn't the March security update though.
Gotta love that scroll capture. One of the most underrated features in TW. Use it all the time.
Got a tip for us?

Nice find. Now I can play around with it on the road.

Well, that's not exactly my point but thanks (I think)Return it and get the 6s..... Problem solved
After trying out the condensed DPI I went back to the standard. I actually like seeing larger fonts and pictures. It makes reading stuff easier on the eyes. Either way if people prefer the condensed version it's so easy to change now.

Great before and after pictures. Standard for me all the way!

you're late...check post #3192 a few pages back it was posted and debunked already.
I read the replies and I do not see any debunking, aside from someone saying that the videos were taken at two different times. That is the way these videos are done. Phone buff has run them that way for a long time. Android phones won some and Apple phones won some. This time the iPhone won. I am sure there will be an Android that will beat the iPhone in the future.
They do one for one smartphone and then they do the other. The final step is putting them side by side. There is no way one person can press buttons on two phones at the same time. It is impossible to do them simultaneously and run as many apps as they do.
Marques Brownie's s7 standard review is up. Glowing. That auto focus test he does... Wow.
Then the parts about how no one uses their phone the way the test was shown?
The design and ergonomics and features of this phone should win smartphone of the year hands down.
One of the points was that the iPhone is pushing far fewer pixels and therefore has less strain on the CPU/GPU for this sort of test. Reducing the resolution on the S7 to equal that of the 6S+, or even worse the 750p of the 6, and you would see the S7 destroy the iPhone in speed.
Something like this is not really comparable. Two different types of tech on two very different displays.
If this was the case then how come the Note 5 was faster in the prior speed test than the S7e? They both have a 1440 display, yet the N5 is faster. David mentions that in the video. The Note 5 is faster the the S7e. It is either the SD820 chip or, more likely, the full encryption on MM that slowed the S7e down.
Thanks. This is tipping me towards picking up the S7 edge. I'll look at more reviews but I'm more than likely going to pick one up next week.
Of course not. But no one runs benchmarks either and yet they are used to compare CPU and GPU speeds. It is just a test to show what each phone is capable of.
no it is not showing what the phone is capable of it useless. So how about quick launching the camera? or moving apps to the external storage...oh wait.....
This is a reasonable point to make along with the multitasking point. However saying that the reviewer is biased towards Apple is not.
Doubt it. I think the 6s would still be faster by quite a margin imo. As Jamezr said though, most people don't use their phones in this way to make a speed test like this realistic. However I do like seeing them.
I hope the s8 brings about a capacitive home button with a built in finger print reader. Just like the nexus 6p/5x finger readers.
So the s8 could look super sleek in the front. The capacitive button would still be the same shape and style as the current physical home button but it just wouldn't be clickable. It'd behave just like the nexus buttons but in the shape of Samsung's home button.
Tap to wake and unlock with finger print. Then tap to go home when using the device. So simple. And the technology exists.

If they do that, i hope they use 3d touch. This would work great with the back and multitasking button too.
I don't get why that matters, it's not like we can change the resolutions of our phones to get a performance boost.
Finally got the keyboard lag fix, unfortunately I had to factory restore it. But it's now running fast and smooth. And that density trick worked great, you don't even need to launch nova launcher, just access the Nova activities widget from whichever launcher your using.
Actually, you can. But no one with an S7 or LG G5 or all the other Android phones with 2k or higher resolutions will want to make their display look like crap at 1080p/750p.
