iOS vs Android - which starts faster?

android iosiOS and Android are at the center of many discussions among smartphone fans and over the years no one has been able to say with certainty which of the two operating systems is better, but maybe these tests will give you an idea. Today I will tell you how fast some of the most popular smartphones on the market at the moment start, they run various versions of the Android and iOS operating systems designed by Apple and Google for the general public.

Considering that we are talking about two operating systems based on different configurations, but also about different smartphones, we have to look at this whole test with a very large lightness, because nothing is equal from any point of view. Despite this, considering that these mobile terminals are "fighting" for our attention at the moment, we need to know which one is worth buying or not.

iOS versus Android - which starts faster on the smartphone?

  1. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 – Android 5.0.1 – 21.3 seconds;
  2. Samsung Galaxy S6 – Android 5.1 – 21.6 seconds;
  3. LG G3 – Android 4.4.2 – 25.3 seconds;
  4. iPhone 6 – iOS 8.3 – 26.1 seconds;
  5. iPhone 6 Plus – iOS 8.3 – 28 seconds;
  6. Sony Xperia Z3 – Android 5.0.2 – 34.4 seconds;
  7. Google Nexus 5 – Android 5.1 – 37.6 seconds;
  8. HTC ONE M9 – Android 5.0.2 – 37.6 seconds;
  9. HTC ONE M8 – Android 5.0.1 – 38.9 seconds;
  10. Google Nexus 6 – Android 5.1 – 53.3 seconds.

As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the "king" of this test, but the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not so far behind it, the difference of 0.3 seconds being imperceptible in everyday life. The noticeable difference will still be 4 seconds compared to the LG G3, 5 seconds compared to the iPhone 6 or almost 7 seconds compared to the iPhone 6 Plus, the terminals from Apple having results far below expectations.

In the same problematic position we also place the Google Nexus 6, this smartphone managing to start in almost 1 minute after pressing the button, something hard to imagine from a terminal that has so much processing power.
