iPhone 5 Smokes Top Android Smartphones in Benchmarks

joelio13|4287d ago |News|51|

Hot Hardware Writes - "Some have criticized Apple for letting the iPhone fall behind the competition, and the iPhone 5 is no exception, as Samsung is more than happy to point out. A 4-inch screen? Yeah, several other smartphones have that beat. Fast 4G LTE connectivity? Again, there are plenty of mobile devices that already do that. A new proprietary dock connector? Okay, so Apple 'wins' that round. But is it fair to criticize the iPhone 5 for not reinventing the smartphone?"

Where are the Android 4.1 tests? Where is the S3 i9300? This is not a good comparison.

Even if it still got a little better, it won't catch up to the iphone 5

Why do I get this sneaky suspicion that Apple benchmarks a lot better because of their stripped down, barebones OS? You don't have any customization, no widgets, no nothing...less stress on the CPU, etc.

Btw, Samsung’s Exynos 5 Dual FTW!

I don't get why the argument over which is better is relevant. Both produce great OSs and both are on great phones. It's like picking Xbox over ps3. Wwf over wcw. CoD over BF. just stick to Ur preference and let others do the same. Who cares which is better as long as they both do the job they are intended to do. Neither is slow. Neither phone sucks. I'm tired of fanboys calling other people fanboys because they disagree with what they have to say. It all comes down to personal preference.

I myself have an iPhone and am upgrading to the iPhone 5. Not because the galaxy s3 sucks. Because I like iOS. S3 is an awesome phone. And if I wanted a different kind of phone from apple it's a no brained which one I'd go with. But I had an iPhone before android was around so I guess you could say I don't like change. iPhones fit my needs though. Not saying the S3 couldn't but I like the size of phones. IMO the S3 is a little to big for me.

I have an external hdd for that purpose... I would only want select/certain files(mp3, mp4, apps, and some photos) on my phone. Which iTunes makes pretty convenient. I like that my phone does many things, but rarely If ever wish to use it in the manner you describe. To each his own.

@Sarcasm

if you have the 64gb model you can put your movies on there easily. Also why would you want to carry spare SD cards? it seems like something that can easily be lost and a lot of hassle.

also, the iPhone sports one of the longest battery lifes out there, so if you are bringing spare SD cards with you, you may as well bring a charger for your phone. Hell do 1 better, bring a portable DVD player.

Unless iPhones 5 CPU is made up of Quad core ARM then it's clear that it is the winner..

But then we all know that S3 has Quad chip inside.. So which phone do you think innovates this generation?

Speed-Racer4287d ago (Edited 4287d ago )

None of the S3s in that comparison had a quad-core chip. They used the dual-core LTE models, so to say the iPhone 5 smoked Androids is jumping the gun.... let's see the i9300 data first on 4.1.

Wait, why would only "some" of the S3's have a dual core instead of a Quad?

Sincere question. As I want to buy an S3, and if one is better than another, I would like to get the superior one. Thanks!

The American versions use Dual Core processors. Not sure why they decided to do this. Maybe they thought it was powerful enough at the time. At the end of the day, the stats here are more marginal. From a user's perspective, they aren't going to notice the difference, unless the numbers were off by at least 1000 points.

it would be embarrassing if the A6 was not top, but it will only last a month or so

the s4 pro is better, according to your own link, which doesn't even cover the CPU of the pro, which im sure smokes the A6 as well as everything else

Cool can can you put it up against windows phone 8 now and we can see the difference in all 3.

I am no fan of the iphone. Yes the 5 is faster than the 4s ect but there is nothing different in terms of how you use it. Go back to the 1st iphone os and you will see nothing has changed. Ios is very out dated and Android and Windows Phone os look sleek and new. Wp7.5 just works has no issues and imo a very easy os to use and quick to get to all your information in one place rather than having 30 different apps to get all your info.

Android will jelly bean is now very stable and fast and people have choice of differemt skins for it to fit there needs from native or htc sense or touch flo.

The iphone is a big seller and is selling very well at the moment but with Microsoft now coming out with windows phone 8 and to have Nokia Samsung and HTC devices backing the os it will really give apple something to think about as well as the samsung htc and moto Android devices.

I dont see apple ever going out the phone market but i see android and wp all having a big % of the market over the next 5 to 10 years.

Did I say they suck for making calls? No I did not. I said they suck in general. I prefer using applications whilst sitting, not moving around. If I am not at home, I am either talking to people in person while socialising or at work. Thus a phone has very limited use. A phone is for texting and calling. A PC is for everything else. My comment does not look stupid in this section because this comment section is for an article talking about the iPhone 5's hardware capabilities which are bad compared to a modern day PC.
