Last week we showed you one of the first real world speed test videos<\/a> to pit the new Galaxy S8 against the reigning speed champion, Apple\u2019s iPhone 7 Plus. Unfortunately, we also explained why it was one of the worst speed test videos we had ever seen. None of these YouTube speed test videos are scientific, of course, but some tests are far more controlled than others. In this particular test, the narrator just tapped a bunch of apps and tried to eyeball which one opened faster each time.<\/p>\n

We were still waiting for some of the more\u00a0experienced YouTube gadget vloggers to share their speed test results, and\u00a0now we\u00a0have a much better test to share. And to be quite frank, the results are shocking.<\/p>\n

Each year when new flagship Android phones are released, tech fans scratch their heads as they fail to best Apple\u2019s iPhones. On paper, iPhones have much less impressive specs, and yet Apple always manages to deliver the smoothest possible user experience time and time again.<\/p>\n

This year, Samsung\u2019s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ completely crush Apple\u2019s iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in terms of multi-core benchmark tests, though they still lagged behind Apple in single-core tests. In theory, that should mean Samsung\u2019s new phones might be slower than iPhones at simple tasks, but the new Galaxy S8 phones should be clear leaders when it comes to heavy lifting like launching games and rendering 4K video. According to the results of a new real world speed test from YouTuber EverythingApplePro, that\u2019s not the case at all.<\/p>\n

The speed test video below shows the Galaxy S8 pitted against the iPhone 7 Plus in a number of different ways. While the competition is close at times, it\u2019s not close at all in the long run. The most interesting parts of the video show that Apple\u2019s iPhone 7 Plus is much faster than the Galaxy S8 when it comes to things like rendering 4K video and launching graphics-heavy games. Anyone who had seen earlier multi-core benchmark tests would certainly have expected the opposite to be the case.<\/p>\n
