News & Reviews:   Antutu Benchmark

These days, new Android smartphones are popping up every other month or so. This makes some consumers curious as to which flagship device can deliver the best performance. Well, AnTuTu tracks these numbers so let's take a look at the latest ones.

In recent years, Exynos chipsets have generally been considered inferior to its Snapdragon counterparts. But it looks like Samsung will finally be able to turn things around. A new benchmark suggests that the Exynos 1080 chipset can perform as well as the Snapdragon 865 chipset.

When people evaluate a smartphone these days, benchmarking is often one of the first things they do. While benchmarks don't necessarily tell the full story, it can help us gauge some aspects of a device's performance. In that sense, knowing how well the Snapdragon 775 and 875 chipsets can perform is useful.

Yesterday, we reported on Google has deleted all the apps of the AnTuTu benchmarking platform from Google Play Store due to repeated policy violations by its parent company Cheetah Mobile. But today, Antutu has clarified the company is not related to Cheetah Mobile.

For those of you who are familiar with our smartphone reviews, you'll notice we typically use Antutu Benchmark as one of our aggregate benchmark tests. It's an app meant to find out how well a device's chipset handles a variety of different smartphone use cases. But guess what? The app has disappeared from the Google Play Store.
