Step # 1 -- Where Does the iPhone Rank With the recent release of the Galaxy S4, the flagship smartphone from Samsung, it is no surprise that the performance of this smartphone is being compared with its main rival -- the iPhone 5. Here you can see we have some early lab tests from Primate Labs showing quite clearly that the S4 is leading the pack -- in fact the iPhone only comes in down in fifth place -- behind even the previous Galaxy phone, the S3. Step # 2 -- How Much Faster? It is hardly surprising that a smartphone released over 6 months later has an edge on an older phone, but what is surprising is that it is clearly visible here just how markedly slower the iPhone is, with a Geekbench score of 3163, the S4 is over twice as fast as the iPhone 5. Step # 3 -- Other Factors to Consider Okay, so the iPhone is slower in a benchmark test, but how does that transfer to real world performance. The incredible close integration of hardware and software on the iPhone is unmatched elsewhere in the smartphone market, meaning it does make up a lot of this gap, but it doesn't close it. The sheer power of the S4 certainly makes it the phone to get if speed is what you are after.
