The Samsung Galaxy S4 doubles the performance of the iPhone 5
The crossfire that occurred in the days after the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S4 between defenders of the new flagship of the South Korean and those who opt for other high-end recently presented within the Android ecosystem also counted on the contribution of the followers of the iPhone family. However, beyond opinions and reflections on the design, vocation or sense of innovation of the new Samsung Galaxy S4, the reality is that the first performance balances place it as the imminent market leader.
The data comes from Geekbench, where they provide a benchmark test that compares the behavior of the most advanced smartphones at the moment. The test measures the performance of each computer's processor in relation to its communication with the operating system, yielding a score that, the higher it is, the better performance it reflects. To serve as a yardstick, the already powerful Samsung Galaxy S3 returns a score of 1,410. However, it should be clarified: the model that participates in the analysis is the one equipped with the 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor. Considering this, we verify that theiPhone 5 stands at 1,596 points. The passage from one to another is occupied by the new BlackBerry Z10. But from here, the comparison gets muscle.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 model with the Exynos processor ”” the quad-core version ”” scores 1,717, and its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S4 reaches 3,163 points no more and no less. But the thing does not end there, since, once again, we are not referring to the most powerful edition. The model that has been used to put each flagship in front of the other is the one that equips the new Snapdragon 600, a unit that operates at 1.9 GHz. However, the most powerful version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 has the new Exynos 5 Octa, a dual eight-core unit at 1.6 GHz, so the score that it would give could be higher.
It is interesting to see, as we know from PhoneArena, that the relationship between the technique and the system is essential when it comes to achieving the best possible performance. In this sense, the aforementioned website indicates that after having carried out the same test using the LG Optimus G Pro "" which is today the most powerful terminal in this manufacturer's catalog "", the score was 2,878, and that was Despite having practically the same processor as the Samsung Galaxy S4 that is distributed in North America, that is, the one that works from the Qualcomm chip. Although there is a minimal difference in the frequency at which LG and Samsung mobiles operate ””1.7 and 1.9 GHz, respectively ””, the jump is striking. Given this, it only remains to know how the Exynos 5 Octa performs in the Samsung Galaxy S4 compared to the rest of the terminals with which it will be seen during this year.
