With a DxOMark Mobile score of 94, the iPhone 8 Plus edges ahead of the 92 points scored by the smaller iPhone 8, but both of the new iPhone models outperform the 90 points jointly achieved by the Android-powered Google Pixel and HTC U11 smartphones. The benchmarking gurus at DxO rated the new Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus cameras – and proclaimed them the best they’ve ever tested. Mind you the founder of Geekbench, John Poole, said that laptops are better at delivering sustained performance over a longer period of time, as opposed to the shorter max burst performance that benchmark tests like those conducted at Geekbench 4 are designed to measure.
Yes, the iPhone 8 GeekBench 4 scores were greater than Apple Mac OS run MacBook Pro 13 inch laptop with 7th-generation Core i5 processor. The real surprise is that the iPhone beat even its own brother in shelves – MacBook Pro. iPhone 8 also beat the other competitor, OnePlus 5 which got a score of 6,542. Mind you Apple is powering iPhone 8 with an all-new A11 six-core chip and Samsung Galaxy S8 Note has 6GB of RAM paired with Qualcomm’s fastest and latest Snapdragon 835 chip. In the multicore portion of this test, the iPhone 8 hit 10,170 which was 54 percent faster than the score from Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 at 6,564.
iPhone 8 beats Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 which is currently the fastest Android smartphone by a whopping margin. The test results were something out of blue. OnePlus has yet to comment on the issue so far, so we'll have to wait if they have anything to say about it.Tom’s Guide guys started the testing of the iPhone 8 with Geekbench 4, which measures overall performance. Companies have been found to manipulate their benchmark scores in the past in the hope that more customers will pick them up as a result. It is certainly interesting, but not something entirely new. At the end of the day, it's very similar, but it's not the same cheat mechanism.
Instead of completely ignoring thermal limitations, OxygenOS runs at full speed during performance testing, while other applications receive less power. The current hack is not the same as the normal hacks we are used to. 22 hours later, the latest OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro were delisted, but Geekbench did not indicate if other OnePlus handsets were manipulating such behavior. If they do, we'll remove them from the Android benchmark board. īefore the devices were taken off the list, Geekbench had comments what follows “We will also be testing the other OnePlus handsets in our performance lab to see if those handsets also manipulate performance in the same way.
We have removed the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro from our Android benchmark table. We see this as a form of benchmark manipulation. It's disappointing to see OnePlus handsets making performance decisions based on app IDs rather than app behavior. Following the publication of the survey, Geekbench responded to it on Twitter with this post: The survey was conducted by AnandTech, and it can be read in full at this link. However, this behavior doesn't seem to affect any benchmarking app, which is why Geekbench called it a cheat and therefore decided to remove it from their app. OxygenOS scans the apps individually and this will limit the performance of the handset as what we can assume is to extend the battery life. OnePlus has proven to bring some very interesting optimizations to its OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro devices, especially when it comes to various apps.
