News & Reviews:   AnTuTu

Antutu is one of the big names for benchmark usage out there. Currently the highest scoring smartphone on the list is the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, with 172,644. Now however a mystery prototype smartphone had scored almost 20% more when compared to Apple’s newest phablet.

AnTuTu benchmark screenshots of a mystery device have shown scores breaking the 40000 score limit. The screenshot reveals some tech specs of this mystery device which include a MediaTek MT6595 processor, 3GB of RAM and Android 4.4.2. The model name has been blanked out but it doesn't seem like this is a doctored screenshot, as these have appeared on AnTuTu before. So far, rumours are flying about that it could be the next Xiaomi Mi4 but Xiaomi has typically used Snapdragon processors for their Mi range of smartphones. Neither would it be Huawei because Huawei are currently using their own Kirin 920 range of processors as well. Our guess is that the device could come from Alcatel, Acer, Lenovo or some other China-brand smartphone manufacturer as these manufacturers use MediaTek processors more often than not. No other details were available such as Malaysia release dates or pricing but we'll let you know as soon as we find out.
