Which is Faster? 3G iPhone vs 4G Samsung AT&T Speed Test

3G, 4G, 5G …what does it all mean? The average person doesn’t know the SPEED difference between 3G or 4G. You need to actually SEE it. I decided to put it to the test by using 4G Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket vs. 3G iPhone 4S (both running on the AT&T network). What does it actually mean when you watch YouTube videos? Or load a webpage like ESPN or cnn.com? Watch my 4G vs 3G video blog speed test to see who wins.

‎**my apologies- i mistakenly read the Speed Test App numbers when I filmed this as “megabytes” and it’s actually megabits**

1.5 seconds faster when loading a webpage.. A good question to ask now is when using the 4g what kind of battery life are you getting? I remember hearing that battery life was a reason Apple hadn't switched to 4g.

Exactly Brent. And I agree with my testing- the trade off of battery life for speed is something I personally am not willing to give up. However, keep in mind that depending on how often you use your phone- 1.5 seconds adds up to a lot of your time (if you use your phone a lot for the Internet).
