Samsung Galaxy S3 gets benchmarked
by Ankit Banerjee on May 05, 2012 47 Comments">47
The Samsung Galaxy S3 was officially announced two days back. By now, heart rates have begun to slowly go down and the world is catching its breathe again. Not helped by the overwhelming hype in the build-up to the final release, there have been some mixed reactions to the device, with the biggest gripe being the lack of the (hoped for) 12MP camera. Despite the disappointment of some users, no one can deny that, hyped or not, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the best Android devices available at the moment. With its impressive specifications, we all expected Samsung’s latest …
Intel Medfield-powered Lava Xolo X900 gets benchmarked, performs surprisingly well
by Adrian Diaconescu on Apr 26, 2012 3 Comments">3
We’ve been waiting for a while now to see Intel make its push into the mobile CPU market and challenge Nvidia and Qualcomm’s leading positions in the industry. While we didn’t expect much from the Lava Xolo X900, the first smartphone to be powered by a Medfield processor, we might be in for a surprise. The X900 has just been released in India, the only market where it is currently set to make an appearance, and the first tests and benchmarks, conducted by the guys at Anandtech, show that this little guy is no pushover. Even though it’s powered by a …
Mystery Sony Tegra 3 tablet spotted in benchmark results
by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 20, 2012 1 Comments">1
Sony has drawn criticism (including from us), for the lackluster device lineup that they’ve shown at MWC, a few weeks ago. I am talking about the conspicuous absence of a quad-core flagship, something that even ZTE and Huawei, the new kids on the Western markets block, have managed to deliver, and, in the case of Huawei with stunning success. And Sony doesn’t do any better in the tablet department either. The admittedly original Tablet P and Tablet S are seen by consumers as exotic novelty items, rather than able-bodied competitors in the cut-throat tablet market. Again, the lack of a …
Nvidia to Apple: Benchmarks or It Didn’t Happen
by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 08, 2012 19 Comments">19
TheVerge Everyone knows the importance of benchmarks in the high-tech industry. With things like user experience or manufacturing quality, manufacturers, or, better said, marketers, can make unsupported claims, without ever risking to be called out. But in the world of cores and RAM modules, benchmarks are, almost always, the final argument in any dispute. So, when the largest tech company in the world claims that its new device is four times faster than a competing product, it’s only natural to ask for a benchmark. During yesterday’s iPad press event, Apple’s SVP of Marketing, Phil Schiller made a claim that raised …
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on Droid 3, with some Benchmarks and Screenshots
by Brandon Sobotta on Dec 22, 2011 2 Comments">2
So the other night I got an alpha version of ICS installed on my Droid 3, and I have to say I am impressed. Hashcode has been hard at work since the release of the source code, and had done some amazing things. I am currently using it for my daily driver and if you don’t mind being a guinea pig give it a shot yourself. For being an alpha it is very stable, and many of the main functions work. Here is the list from Hashcode’s blog of what works and what does not. Many of the base phone functions are now working. And that …
S4 vs Tegra 3 vs OMAP 4470 vs Exynos 4212: Strong-ARMed Superchip Showdown!
by Lucian Armasu on Oct 10, 2011 24 Comments">24
The first half of next year should get very interesting for mobile devices. We’re expecting the Qualcomm S4, NVIDIA Kal-El, Texas Instruments OMAP 4470, and Samsung’s new Exynos 4212 chips to arrive then. But, even if these devices will all arrive in the first half of 2012, we don’t know the exact dates–and that might make a difference. For example, if one of them is 30% better than the other, but arrives in June, while the other arrives in January, then it might not mean much, because the January chip will probably have an upgraded version by June, too, and …
DROID RAZR a.k.a. DROID HD Benchmarks Revealed
by Darcy LaCouvee on Oct 04, 2011 0 Comments">0
Just leaked on NenaMark’s infamous benchmark site are the preliminary benchmarks for the upcoming Motorola DROID RAZR, also known as the Motorola DROID HD, and previously codenamed the Motorola Spyder. From a quick look below, it looks like the rumors have been spot on, as the benchmark has just confirmed that it will in fact have a qHD (960×540) display, and a Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz (“Turbo”). While it could purportedly end up at 1.5 GHz, it’s already looking to be a beast of a phone as the benchmarks below will demonstrate. Plus, we’re told that …
The World’s Most Powerful Android Smartphone? Samsung Galaxy S II Benchmarks Revealed
by Darcy LaCouvee on Apr 16, 2011 4 Comments">4
Oh yeah! Things are really starting to heat up in the Android Superphone Wars of 2011. The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S II , powered by a Samsung built 1.2GHz Exynos dual-core processor, breathlessly broke the 3,000 mark on Quadrant. While it should be known that these numbers are preliminary, and Quadrant scores themselves for dual-core devices are still a subject of debate, it is looking like the Galaxy S II has the hot hardware to beat the Atrix, G2x, EVO 3D, Optimus 3D, or virtually any other phone you can think of. Samsung is not messing around, and reacted rather quickly …
Nexus One gets rooted and poorly benchmarked
by Susan Ellery on Dec 31, 2009 0 Comments">0
Everyone who is gearing up to make their big Nexus One purchase next week can look forward to having root access to their handset right out of the gate. Thanks to some hard work by Paul over a MoDaCo’s Android forums, the not-yet-released Nexus One can be rooted in a simple three step process using superboot – a flashable boot.img that will root your device the first time you boot. If you like to root, then you probably enjoy benchmarking and will appreciate a newly leaked video which shows Neocore, a 3D graphics benchmarking tool, running on the Nexus One. …
