Nexus vs Rezound - Speedtest.net

[BigRedNole]

My office mate came in to work today. With most people out, I was able to perform a side by side test with no interruptions or bothers. I ran the test again and the Nexus was still 50% the speed. Wait....

I looked at his phone in more detail and found that he was going to a different server. For some reason, Speedtest.net does not default to the CLOSEST server on one or both our phones. I reset the test results on both phones. I selected the same servers and ran the tests again.

To my surprise, and shock, the results were within what I would consider tolerances of each other. There is no way to get exactly the same speeds. The differences were negligible. I tested multiple times across the 10 closest servers. The phones were consistently the same.

why were you surprised? Both phones are great phones with similar performing hardware.

Because my signal strength and previous tests with the same have all been negative. I was actually able to sit and control the environment of the tests this time.

Thanks for testing this using a scientific method.
