We have no comprehensive review yet of the OnePlus 3 yet but as early as now, we can say it’s one great phone. However, we doubt if it will ever beat the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the S7 edge despite having the same Snapdragon 820 processor. But then again the OnePlus 3 has better RAM management–6GB RAM!. C4ETech wanted to know if the OnePlus 3 is a true flagship killer? Make your own guess before watching the speedtest video below.
In this speedtest, the Galaxy S7 edge went head-to-head with the newly announced OnePlus 3 phone. Both have the same processor and were connected to the same wireless network. The two have been factory reset and had all power saving options turned off.
First to be opened was Temple Run 2. The game loaded first on the OnePlus 3 but couldn’t keep the lead against the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Second to be opened was Asphalt 8. Once again, it opened first on the OnePlus 3 but navigating was faster on the S7 edge. While the Samsung smartphone was already done opening other app, the same game just loaded on the OnePlus 3.
The Galaxy S7 edge finished the first round in one minute and one second while the OnePlus 3 was done in one minute and ten seconds.
In the second round, the OnePlus 3 had to reload Temple Run 2 again. Meanwhile, performance on the Galaxy phone was continuous. The OnePlus 3 kept lagging when opening the Asphalt 8. Opening a web browser, the OnePlus didn’t have the previous page in memory. All these were happening while the Galaxy S7 edge was already finished.
The Samsung phone was clearly the winner. The YouTuber was curious to know if the OnePlus would perform better with animations off. The result was still the same. Opening the camera app, OnePlus 3 was faster but with the Quick launch, the Galaxy S7 became faster.
We, therefore, conclude the Samsung Galaxy S7 dominated the speedtest. It’s not really a shocker but we were surprised why the OnePlus 3 didn’t perform well as expected with its 6GB RAM. We’re guessing the storage capacity had something to do with it. What do you think?
