Asus ROG Phone 5 vs iPhone 12 Pro Max Speed Test By TechNick

Flagship android devices released in 2021 with Qualcomm's latest and greatest chipset. The snapdragon 888 have yet to defeat apple's a14 bionic chipset. That being said, ASUS have finally released their overpowered gaming centric device, the ROG phone 5. Can this new monster of a phone finally be the one to outperform the iPhone 12 Pro max, or will it follow, suits and submit to the apple king? The iPhone comes paired with apple's a14 bionic chip running five nanometer tech, six gigs of lpddr4x ram and NVMe storage, while the ginormous ROG phone 5 houses, Qualcomm's 5 nanometer, run snapdragon 888, CPU, 12 gigs of RP ddr5 ram and UFS 3.1 storage, they've both been updated to their latest available software updates. The ROG phone can go all the way up to 144hz screen refresh rate. While the iPhone is still stuck to 60.

I will be enabling the ROG phones, powerful mode, which is indeed x mode, as well as OptiPlex, to reduce app launch speeds, we'll also make sure that all battery optimizations are disabled for the apps that we'll be running through today and for some strange reason there are no options to reduce the animation skills within developer options, so I'm just going to remove it from the accessibility menu round. One will be all about boot fingerprint and face unlock round. Two will be about initial opening of app speed and round. Three will be all about ram management using my fingers over here, so to keep things accurate, we're going to pop GoPro footage at the bottom left-hand corner this is tech neck and without further ado. Let's go things first in round one see which one can boot on faster, which one is it going to be.

It is indeed the iPhone 12 Pro max with 18 seconds, picking up its first points in round one, as opposed to 28 seconds on the ROG phone five going into the home screen and refreshing the app icons, the iPhone picks up at second point over there origin phone five, taking a hell of a lot longer to do that and jumping into the under display fingerprint sense of the ROG phone five. It is optical, comparing it to the 3d facial recognition system on the iPhone, since the iPhone lacks a fingerprint sensor and the kg lacks 3d facial recognition. The ROG was quicker every single time they're, comparing the 2d facial recognition on the kg to the iPhone's 3d facial recognition, the ROG came on top one time there getting it its second point in round one closing off around one with two points: a piece making sure we're hooked to the same Wi-Fi network and all apps are indeed closed. In the background opening the first app here, which is settings in round two, the ROG phone five opens quicker, and it goes ahead and opens up the calculator app quicker than the iPhone as well system apps over here. The ROG phone seems to be coming out on top.

What about the camera app? Well, unfortunately, not this time around the iPhone 12 Pro max picks up its first point, but the ROG phone five flips to the selfie cam quicker and the iPhone 12 Pro max takes the snap quicker and saves it to gallery quicker. Three points on the kg, as opposed to two points on the iPhone 12 Pro max going into the gallery app. The ROG was quicker and opening up the photo quicker as well. Five points for the ROG now two points for the iPhone 12 Pro max going into adobe photoshop express our first non-system app over here. The iPhone 12 Pro max opens it up quicker.

The ROG phone 5 goes into the picture quicker, but the iPhone loaded, the page quicker. So no point was allocated over there and saving both of these to the respective gallery on each device. The ROG said save to gallery at the bottom of the device quicker than it said, save to gallery at the top of the iPhone device, getting the ROG phone five. It's sixth point now double the points of the iPhone 12 Pro max. Now more than that, after going into adobe rush, a video editing app slightly quicker and going into the project quicker as well, with a five point lead now.

Now it's going to be all about exporting this of 4k 25 frames per second clip. We are going to be compressing it down to 1080p, but matching the frame rate of 25 frames per second and hitting export, which one can render it quickly remember. We do have NVMe storage on the iPhone 12 Pro max, as opposed to UFS 3.1 storage on the ASUS ROG phone. Five. I've left them at real time over here and the iPhone did it in just four seconds absolutely phenomenal.

It never seems to change at all 8.5 seconds on the ROG phone 5 here, not bad at all. I must say for UFS 3.1 storage- I usually get over 10 seconds, but the iPhone still came out on top that round. So four points now five points. After opening up Spotify slightly quicker than the ROG phone five now going into astral VPN, the iPhone always seems to open this one up quicker, and it does six points for the iPhone 12 Pro max just two points behind the dog, and we turned it on over here, and they turned on at the same time since there was a little loading icon in the center of the iPhone screen which disappeared the same time. The ROG phone five actually enabled it.

The kg phone five opened up. Google Chrome slightly quicker now with nine points. A three point lead over the iPhone six points going into Facebook over here. The ROG phone goes into that double-digit lead now with 10 points, as opposed to the six points on the iPhone 12 Pro max four points ahead. So far, so good for the ASUS ROG of phone five and going into Instagram the iPhone 12 Pro max was slightly quicker that time around jumping into twitter.

It switches back around the ROG phone five picked up its eleven point now. Once again, a four point lead over the iPhone 12 Pro max, which does cost a hell of a lot more than the basic ROG phone five, which I have over here, going into YouTube over here, a video streaming app, but what you guys are watching on right now: the origin phone five picks up its 12 points and heading over to my profile, which one can snag this point over here it looks like it was: going to be the dog. It was indeed the iPhone 12 Pro max picking up its eighth point once again, just four points behind the ROG phone five. Now five points behind after the ROG phone five opened up, one of my videos quicker loaded, the page quicker and obviously started playing the video quicker as well going into the next video service here, which is Netflix jumping into that one. The kg phone five significantly quicker that time around been opening it up going into my profile.

However, the ROG phone five was quicker, but the iPhone loaded, the page quicker. So once again, no point allocated over here nice six point lead toward the kg phone five. It's going to get pretty interesting here when it comes to benchmark, starting with the CPU benchmark, geek bench the iPhone 12 Pro max opened it up quicker. I have sped things up bottom right-hand corner I'm going to slow back down a minute and 58 seconds for the iPhone, as opposed to two minutes and 31 seconds on the ROG phone five and the iPhone has a significantly higher single and multi-core score from geek bench five going into our next benchmark system. At the GPU of both devices is 3d.

Mark wildlife, we're gonna, speed it up once again and slow it back down. The iPhone did open the app quicker, though so, just three points behind the ROG now, and it finished quicker as well. Picking up its 12th point now just two points behind the ROG one minute: nine seconds for the iPhone, as opposed to one minute and twelve point: five for the ROG phone, the dog. You got 34.4 fps, as opposed to 47 frames per second on the iPhone 12 Pro max very, very interesting. A first game of four over here, jumping into a subway surfer, which one is going to take the cake.

This is extremely close, very, very close. It is the ROG phone five, but by a hair of a second picks up its 15 point, just three points ahead of the iPhone 12 Pro max going into our third last game. Third, last app of the 20 temple run 2 speed it up slow it back down. Once again, the ROG phone 5 picks up its 16th points, as opposed to the 12 points on the iPhone 12 Pro max once again, with a four point lead going into among us, a game that we've all come to know and love in the past year. Jumping into that when they've changed their launch animation a bit and the iPhone 12 Pro max is doing slightly better this time around when before it was always the android devices that came out on top, so just a three point advantage for the ROG phone five, meaning that the iPhone cannot come back from this since there's just one point left on the table and that is for PUBG mobile, which once again the gaming centric ROG phone five opens up two seconds quicker than the iPhone 12 Pro max wrapping up round two with 17 points toward the ROG phone five, as opposed to 13 on the iPhone 12 Pro max and as we saw throughout the test, a four point advantage there.

When it comes to ram management, we have 12 gigs of ram on the ROG six gigs of LP ddr4 tram, on the iPhone where we have lpddr5 ram on the ROG phone five, and neither of them are sweating when keeping 20 apps open. In the background and honestly, they really shouldn't six gigs of ram is more than enough. If you ask me- and you can see, the iPhone is proving it with great optimization, so zero points, a piece since they kept all apps open in the background total score of year, 19 points for the ASUS kg 405, as opposed to 15 for the iPhone 12 Pro max. So yes, I guess we can finally safely say that the iPhone 12 Pro max has been dethroned, but we're going to have to wait and see what apple does with the iPhone 13 lineup later this year, stay tuned for that one. This is technic, and I'll catch you in the next one.
