AnonD-491921, 31 Mar 2016Apple iPhone se benchmarks prove that benchmarks prove that... moreA GPU/CPU benchmark worthy of its name should always try and make the load for each device as equal as possible in my opinion. For a GPU benchmark that means ignoring native screen resolution and rendering to a fix resolution for all devices (like 1080P).

So the iPhone SE should get the same result as its big brothers if they have the same SoC and storage solution.

AnTuTu does not work like this if I understand it correctly (which is why I don't like it). Running this benchmark with a high resolution screen will give you lower score than running another device with all the same hardware except for a lower resolution screen.
Its fine to be able to do the test in native resolution also, could be interesting but you should be able do an off-screen test run with a fixed resolution.

However, it does not look the the screen resolution have that much impact on the final AnTuTu score since all three iPhones get quite similar score.

    Apple iPhone se benchmarks prove that benchmarks prove that is a distant measurement of performance. iPhone se have the same benchmark as iPhone 6s/6s plus.This might be due to
    -They might be using the eMMc technology of iPhone 6 instead of newer NAND used in latest iphones(I've heard so)
    or
    -Underclocked CPU,GPU or RAM
    Beside that Both touchwiz and IOS are plenty optimized.and benchmarks are not optimized for any one device so the Phone with better specs would always have an upperhand in Benchmark score and it dosent takes the software bugs into consideration.Many shady chinese phone have higher benchmark than flagships from apple,Huawei,samsung,xiaomi etc but their overall perfomance is worseSo please dont take the bencmarks as how good a phone is.

The fact that this years Android flagships trounce all over the iphone in nearly every test? The fact that you have many more features and manufacturer optikns? The fact that there are many better design and more size optikns?

              lol, 30 Mar 2016You can customise an iPhone, just jailbreak. And yeah, that... moreJailbreak is like you leave your home open wishing no one would robe it . BTW if Jailbreak is 100% safe , you will have to wait many months after every update until Jailbreak be available . Jailbreak isn't a practical solution .
              The only reason that makes iPhone 6s wins performance benchmarks is the big failure of Snapdragon 810 . That's why I put that old video .
              However my challenge still stands , Add Android's features to the iOS and make comparison to see which is really faster .

                  I really want to see the graphics performance of this device, it has a powrful GPU from the iphone 6s and an extremely low res screen, the scores should be all the way to the top of the list.

And as "lol" said iPhone is faster by some 10 seconds on the first lap compared to the Exynos version (iPhone 1.17 min vs Exynos S7 1.27 min).

                    So from that you can not say the Exynos is faster than the iPhone. But atleast its much closer between the Exynos version and iPhone than compared to the Snapdragon version.

                      Some have the SD getting 2:00 with the iPhone getting 1:40
                      Others have the SD getting 2:40 with the exynos getting 2:00

                      Those are the two tests I saw and from that, the exynos must be faster than the iPhone. If you have contradictory evidence then that brings doubt into the value of these so-called speed tests altogether, making them useless.

                      However, duel thinks they do have value, so presenting the evidence that I've seen that shows the s7 is faster must burn a hole in his heart. Duel's statement was based on those silly speed tests too,so that's why I mentioned what I saw from speed tests.

                                    I cant wait to get the iphone SE too.

                                        i'm not an apple fan, but even i can see the appeal for the iphone se. those who like a smaller phone with a reliable performance are going to be very happy with it.
