iPhone 6 VS. Galaxy S5 VS. HTC One M8 speed test: Check out the review!

The configuration of iPhone 6 might not match with the high range android smartphones but the speed test proves something else. Apple holds the front seat of speed test with absolutely stunner performance. From recent speed test between top-level smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and iPhone 6 has really revealed the quickest tech beauty.

First, let's keep an eye on the hardware configuration of these smartphones then we will move towards the speed test result.

Samsung Galaxy S5 has the Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 chipset with the unique Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400 processor. The GPU is average adreno 330. The hardware package also includes 2GB of RAM.

The HTC One M8, is packed with Qualcomm MSM8974AB Snapdragn 801 chipset with Quad-core 2.3 GHz for US/EMEA and 2.5GHz processor for Asia/China. The GPU is the same as Galaxy S5. Both the devices form much similar hardware specification. It is also powered by 2GB of RAM

The last but not least iPhone 6 is boosted with latest and faster Apple A8 chipset with Dual-Core 1.4GHz Cyclone ARM v8 based processor. For excellent gaming graphics it has PowerVR Gx645 quad core graphics emulator.

From the above description, users might think iPhone will be the slower one. But let's go to the speed test review section. For the test all of the handsets were resetted. They were connected to the same Wi-Fi network so that they feed the same Internet speed. Then stopwatch was turned on and apps like camera, google search and games were run with no delay. The phones were tested by loading same pages and apps repeatedly. It was determined very carefully how the smartphones respond with time tracking system. The speed test was very impressive with all the smartphones but iPhone 6 response was absolutely stunning. The same amount of apps was run without any delay and it took 2min 58secs for Samsung galaxy S5 to run all the apps and to return home back again. HTC One M8 took almost 2min 9sec to go through the same procedure. But the iPhone 6 won the race with just 1min 55sec. iPhone 6 may not offer the brightest hardware specification but its ultimate performance leads the race of speed.
