AnTuTu officially claims the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are the most powerful smartphones to date

15 July, 2015
Nowadays we seem to da a surprising amount of our work on a smartphone. The sheer convenience of having your phone always on you has created a lot of new use cases for handsets and with the increased strain, requirements and advanced feature set, naturally comes more-powerful hardware. A phone's appeal is still dictated by a complex mix of convenience, aesthetics and usability, so, we are still far from picking hardware purely based on specs, as is often the case in the PC realm, but performance is getting increasingly important.

I own both a: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - 64GB (Running Android 5.1.1) and a Nexus 6 - 64GB (Running Android 6.0.1) and noticed that the Nexus was a much faster phone for actual use, so I figured I would try this exact test.

Using AnTuTu Benchmark 6.0.1 in both phones, I got the following scores:
Galaxy S6 Edge: 62076
Nexus 6: 77639

What gives? Why are your results so off? The Nexus clearly runs faster when I am using both at the same time. While my score was ~3% lower for the S6 Edge comparison, my nexus 6 was ~45% faster! That is a huge difference!

No - I do NOT have a 6P - I'm using the Nexus 6. I tried the test twice on both phones and got almost the same score. I hate to say it - but your results haven't kept up with the times!

                    Bli-nd fa-nb-oy

                    Pleeeeaaaase name me one game for a smartphone that needs that kind of power?

                    One thing is for sure... The only thing that forces vendors for these cra-zy desctop class specs is po-orly designed OS and launcher (including po-orly designed TouchWiz) that needs 4 cores cpu and 2GB of ram to run calculator app smo-othly

                    What a bli-nd fa-nb-oy

                              too bad the "most powerful" title lasts less than 6 months before another smartphone beats it.

                                  So keep your trolling elsewhere.

                                    Apple is slower in real life - well, Apple will play catch up to the S-Series, well since the Original Galaxy S was announced
