The ASUS ROG phone 3, pretty much dominated in every single speed test on my channel in 2020, but does it have what it takes to go up against Samsung's latest flagship, the s21 ultra in a speed test, the s21 ultra houses Qualcomm's latest and greatest snapdragon 888 chipset runs on 5 nanometer process, node technology, while the ROG phone 3 is running Qualcomm's previous number, crunching chip, the snapdragon 865 plus run on 7 nanometers, plus processed no tech other than that their specifications are identical on paper. They both have 12 gigs of lpddr5 ram, and they are both kitted with UFS 3.1 storage. They have both been updated to their latest available software updates. We are rocking android 11 on the Samsung and android 10 on the ROG phone 3. , we're going to be enabling their max refresh rate options here that is 120 hertz on the Samsung and 160 hertz on the ASUS, we're going to drop the Samsung's who plus panel down to full HD plus since the ROG phone 3 is capped at full HD. Once again, we're going to be disabling, enhanced processing on the s21 ultra due to its issues.
Over its performance from enabling that option, but we will be enabling OptiPlex on the rot phone 3 since it does such a darn great job. The ROG phone 3 also has x mode which we're going to enable over here, and I've, made sure to disable any form of battery optimization within the 20 apps that we'll be running through today, as well as leave the animation scale set to 1x on both devices within developer options round.1 will be all about boot fingerprint and face unlock round two about initial opening, app speed and round three all about ram management using my fingers over here so to keep things accurate with popping GoPro footage at the bottom left-hand corner this is technique and without further ado. Let's go we're. Gonna kick-start things off in round one with a simple boot to see which one can power up quickest. It is the RPG phone three picking up its first points after just 14 seconds, as opposed to 25 seconds on the s21 ultra, and this is a phone from 2021.
The kg phone, three picks up at second point. After going into the home screen showing the app icons quicker, we have an optical under display fingerprint sensor on the ROG phone as opposed to the ultrasonic generation. Two on the s21 ultra and the s21 ultra is quicker every single time, you're. Picking up its first points in round one now testing out the 2d face unlock on both devices over here. It was too close to call the first time the ROG phone 3 was quicker the second time, and it was quicker, the third time, picking up its third point in round one, as opposed to just one single point for the s21 I'll train round.
One making sure we hooked up to the same Wi-Fi network x mode is on the ROG phone three max brightness on both devices and all apps are closed. In the background, the ROG phone three opens up the first system app setting slightly quicker than that of the s21 ultra, with too close to call when going into the calculator app over here and what is going to happen when we go into the camera app after we're done doing our little calculation over here going into our third system app here, which is camera, the Samsung opened it up quicker, but the ROG loaded, the page quicker. So no point was allocated over there, but flipping to the selfie cam. The ROG phone 3 was quicker than doing that, but the s21 ultra was faster at taking the snap and send me into gallery talking about gallery going into that one. It was too close to call.
Unfortunately, I forgot to go into the photo. You'll have to forgive me for that one, but going into photoshop expressive here, which one can do it quicker. It is the s21 ultra picking up at second point now, I'm matching the ROG phone now overtaking it getting its third point. After going into that, photo that we just took in photoshop express saving it to gallery, though the ROG phone 3 said safe to gallery at the bottom of the screen quicker than it did at the bottom of the s21 ultra screen. Now three for three in round two going into Adobe Premiere Russia, a video editing, app the ROG phone three open it up quicker, went into the project quicker now with four points and then five points.
Now we're going to go ahead and render this 4k 25 frames per second clip we're going to drop the resolution down to 1080p but match the frame rates of 25 frames per second. So we're compressing the video over here we're going to hit export I'm leaving it at 100 bottom right-hand corners which one is going to do it quicker. It looks so neck and neck right now and for the first time in the channel's history, it is a tie rendering a video 8.5 seconds on both of them using UFS, 3.1 storage, great job ROG phone 3, taking blows against the s21 ultra's flagship of 2021. I can't wait to see the kg phone 5 come out or 4, whatever it's going to be called the s21 ultra open up, Spotify slightly quicker, but the ROG phone 3 opened up astral VPN slightly quicker, but it was too close to call when enabling the VPN we needed VPN here in China to go into the next run of apps, which the ROG phone three snags at seven points. After opening up, Google Chrome quicker night three point lead toward the ROG phone three.
The ROG picked up its eighth point now going into Facebook and what's going to happen, going into Instagram. It is the s21 ultra snagging a point over here now with five points, as opposed to eight on the ROG phone three going into twitter. Once again, the s21 ultra closing the gap now with six points, as opposed to eight on the ASUS and going into YouTube, which one can open up the app quicker remember. We are set to the same Wi-Fi same VPN, all that jazz. So it's coming down to speed.
The Samsung was quicker in opening up the app and going to my profile quicker now, which one can play the video quicker. It is indeed the s21 ultra, and it loaded the page quicker as well. Picking up its ninth point now overtaking the ROG phone through with nine points, as opposed to eight going into our next video app here next streaming, app, which is Netflix the s21 ultra open it up quicker, but the ROG phone three went into my profile quicker. So ten points for the Samsung, as opposed to nine on the ROG going to our first benchmark of two year, was too close to call when opening up geek bench version 5.3.2 but running through it. I sped it up bottom right-hand corner.
The Samsung, takes the lead over here, picking up its 11 point with two minutes and 43 seconds, as opposed to two minutes and 46 seconds on the dog, bear in mind that the Samsung had a higher single core speed, but the ROG had a higher multi-core speed, very interesting too close to core. When opening up 3d mark wildlife we're going to be jumping through the wildlife portion. Just the mini version, which is a minute or so to see which one can do it faster this time it is the ROG phone three, it didn't have the score quite like the s21 ultra, but you've got to remember this is about speed so which everyone can get through it power through it quicker gets the point: that's why the ROG phone three snags that point now with 10 points, as opposed to the 11 on the s21 ultra. Just one point difference between them: it's going to come down to games and is the gaming centric rg43 going to take this for the win in subway surfers. Yes, it does 11 points now matching the s21 ultra 11.8 piece here. This is fascinating, so intense, just three apps left three games left of the twenty temple run two years bet it up, slow it back down.
S21 ultra takes the cake here, taking the lead over the ROG phone three by one point, with 12 points, as opposed to the 11 on the ASUS ROG phone three going into among us an epic game going into it, the s21 ultra snags. The point now with 13 points, there is no way for the ROG phone three to come back. What a comeback from Samsung here, two points ahead of the ROG phone: three, no matter what happens in PUBG, the s21 ultra has won this round since there's a two point: difference between them. The ROG phone three does open up pub g quicker with 13 seconds, as opposed to 15 seconds on the s21 ultra. So the score for round two was 12 points on the kg as opposed to 13 on the Samsung.
Now enhanced processing is off on the Samsung. Surprisingly, it's keeping all apps opened in the background. My speed test that I did against the Huawei Mate 40 pro also had enhanced processing off, but it did kill about five or so apps on the Samsung this time around. It's not killing either of them. They're.
Both kids here with 12 gigs of lpddr5, ram, no sweat on both devices, keeping all 20 apps open in the background, great job on Samsung and ASUS here for doing so great in ram management, zero points, a piece there for round three total score here.14 points for the Samsung, as opposed to 15 on the ROG of phone three, if we focus just on round two raw performance, raw speed, 13 points for the Samsung as opposed to 12 on the ROG phone. Three just one point difference, I'm very impressed with the ASUS RPG phone 3. Not only is it cheaper, but it is a previous generation older. I cannot wait to see its successor coming out in the next couple of months. I hope that you guys enjoyed watching this video as much as I did.
Making if it's up to the channel would be epic. This is technic, and I'll, see you in the next one.
