It looks like he doesn't know how the android system works. You do not keep re-hitting the apps, you simply use the left key to bring the app back that YOU ALREADY OPENED.( it brings the task window when you touch the left captivated button) This way, the apps are always running and faster than any phone and they do not restart!!!! It's called multitasking. Just give it a try and learn and next time please don't post garbage like this.

You don't need a video. There is nothing to compare between a power house with 4gb to kids toy with 1gb ram. Irrelevant in any ways. Go talk to siri and feel better. Pitty.

This so-called kids toy works just as good as any phone would. It's just that the phone has a bit more than others if it was released months later after other phones since it uses more technology, because who knows how much more different can a phone change before it's finally released?

Samsung doesn't use 2 GB of ram and put more work into the chip themselves other than installing the ram onto it compared to app,e with less GB of ram but more work.

Guys do you have any idea how devices et apps work ? Clicking on apps icons is ridiculously useless as a performance test. It depends not only on the hardware but results will vary depending on the application code, the OS version, the framework, the api used etc. So many other things than just your finger trying to be synchronized. By comparing devices this way you totally delude users. I say Cickbait

On the contrary, I think it is the best way to show the efficiency of the OS. This just proves that it's not about the hardware but also with the software. Now I understand that if its not an iPhone then it's not an iPhone. Lol. Companies that lures you because of its hardware specs are the ones deluding users.

It's not the fault of android, it's Samsung since I have the Sony Z3 and the iPhone 6....both are neck to neck in performance

Iphone does not lag and is very fast, but the battery life needs improvement. I have an iphone 6 and I lose an average of 25% battery overnight after jailbreak, it used to be around 15%

I do have iPhone 6 I don't have this problem. May be you not closing apps manually after use. If it's jailbroken you can have problems like this as you running unauthorised program.

If the note 5 were running untouched pure vanilla android it would blow iPhone out of the water, Samsung just screws up its own devices with its stupid overlay

For the next iPhone, it wins either way, but at what chance does android have?

I don't think a user using either system will be upset about the speeds. It's fast enough that one wouldn't be feeling like they are waiting a long time.

Your joking right? Even I own an iPhone and know android is better in every way, if it weren't for jail breaking I would have switched to android a long time ago.
