Galaxy S6 Achieves Monstrously High Benchmark Scores, Leaves HTC One M9 In The Dust

[Victorious Secret]

 

I take these with a grain of salt, given how Samsung has a penchant for milking benchmarks and straight up optimizing their phones for benchmark applications. That being said, if you're interested in the scores here are the videos. It certainly does deliver a whooping to the others, though is it enough of a whooping that people care? Will the classic "Samsung Sluggishness" bite them in the ass again, like it has on prior Galaxy devices? 

 

It almost goes without saying, but benchmarks are not everything. These numbers don't always tell you how a device will perform, but they do tell you something. Right now the Galaxy S6 is telling us that Samsung's new Exynos chip is very, very fast. It's putting up AnTuTu scores of nearly 70,000, well above the values produced by devices like the LG G3, Nexus 6, LG G Flex 2, and even the new HTC One M9.

But can the new Exynos chip beat S820?

Meh. We've seen this from Samsung before and yet their phones always seem more sluggish than the competitors out in the real world.

 

I'll probably play with it at the store to see how I like it, but it would take a lot for Samsung to convince me to buy any of their phones again after a terrible ownership experience with the S3.

probably but we will know in a year or so

[Lolzious]

No removable back, no waterproof, no SD card, glass back.

No.

If I wanted this shit I would buy an iPhone. Samsung just ruined themselves.

The S3 was my go to phone forever until I replaced it with my note 4 because it was faster than other phones. I only see people complain about the s3 on this forum. Others loved it

[Profquast]

I really don't care. Above something like a snapdragon 600 the performance gains in normal use are minimal. Unless you use it to play games it's completely useless and a waste of battery.

Probably a mix of a smaller processing node, at 14nm than the 20nm used on the S810, and samsung optimising the test devices for benchmarks that's resulted in this. Iexpected the exynos chip to be slightly ahead as it's more efficient and slightly higher clocked than the one M9, but this is in the realms of the ridiculous. Only the Nvidia tegra X1 has a score that high.

Yeah honestly its one of the best phones ever made, not perfect but it brought android into the forefront of the mobile space

 

Galaxy S3

iPhone 4

Motorola Razr

iPhone 1

and HTC One M7

 

those are probably my top 5

The S3 was an amazing phone

 

It really brought up Android's market share by like a lot.

[Altecice]

Cant wait for this phone! but yeah I agree there is a ot of key stuff missing  

[soaringchicken]

My bro told me about this phone, it sounds to good to be true. We'll have to wait and see I guess
