The disparity becomes even greater at the multitasking part in the end. What good is 4 GB of RAM when Android still manages to be 20 seconds slower at multitasking?

Obvious Software fail is obvious

I kind of agree, android's software is too inefficient and unoptimised..

It's amusing to think about how much flak the iPhone used to get (and still does get) regarding multitasking....

Samsung is absolutely horrible at memory management.

@ferret-gamer: According to the video, despite what you say, the Note 5 WAS the fastest in this particular test. And it beat out other android phones made by other manufacturers.

The 6s, as predicted after its unveiling, is spanking everything else. Badly.

@ferret-gamer: Samsungs Note 5 was Androids fastest phone. Androids fastest phone got spanked by a device with less than half its specs.

The Note 5 was 2 seconds behind the Iphone in the first lap, but 16 seconds behind in lap 2. That is where Samsung's super aggressive memory management comes into play, the Note 5 had to reload a bunch of the apps that the iphone kept in its memory. The Iphone just had to relaunch already opened programs, while the Note 5 was reloading them.

Samsung's memory management is terrible even compared to other android phones. It's faster in the speed tests because it has the faster 1st lap, but it is waaaaay slower than a bunch of other androids in the second lap. Look at that youtube channel's speed test for the Note 5 vs OP2 vs G4. The Note 5 finished the first lap in 1:02 while the g4 took 1:21. That is a nearly 20 second difference. But look at the overall time for the full test. The Note 5 was 1:37 compared to the G4 getting 1:38. A 1 second difference. This is because the Note 5 took 35 seconds to do the second lap, but the G4 only took 16 seconds. The G4 took less than half the time to do the second lap than the Note 5 did.

That should show you how terrible Samsung's memory management is. The G4 with 3gb of DDR3L ram and way slower processor, was able to do the second lap in less than half the time that the Note 5 with 4gb of DDR4L ram took.

Samsung's memory management has been a known issue for generations. Usually, people will come out with ROMs that fix the problem and have their phones run way faster. Dunno, if people have gotten it fixed with the Note 5 though, i haven't really followed it.

Once the 950 and 950 XL is out, it will spank all Android and the iPhone's App load speeds!

I doubt it. I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if an 810 or an 808 out-performed the A9.

@FireEmblem_Man: A9 benchmarks are pretty incredible. That's for sure.

There is no way an Apple device can beat android. Guys just admit it, Apple sucks but you have to hand it to Steve Job for his ability to convince people to pay 4X the price it is actually worth.
