Top 10 Best Performance Android Smartphones of 2016, Named by Antutu
Beijing Antutu Company has just released their list of the top performance 2016 Android handsets.
Their selection was based on the average Antutu Benchmark Score of each handset derived from at least 2,000 samples per model from a period covering January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
For those who are not yet familiar with it, Antutu Benchmark Test along with Antutu 3D Bench measure overall User Experience, CPU, RAM, 2D/3D graphics, GPU, and I/O performance of any mobile device with Android operating system, giving a supposedly accurate picture of how well a handset performs in real life.
After you run the test on your smartphone or tablet, the score will be added to the Antutu benchmark database and you will see then see how your device fares against its competitors.
(Note, however, that the Antutu benchmark score of a device is determined not just by its hardware configuration but it is also affected by many elements or factors, including system mode, user interface, device temperature, and running apps as well as other elements. As such, you may not the same score each time you run the test on your smartphone.)
According to Antutu, "We removed some cheating scores that were extraordinarily high, and some incomplete scores resulting from unexpected closing during the test. In particular, we introduced a new factor, score stability, as a new reference factor of our scores in our summary. With regard to score variance caused by the use of different running modes such as balance mode and performance mode, we analyzed the data and decided to maintain the score variants."
And with no further ado, here are the top 10 best performance Android smartphones from last year based on the above-mentioned average Antutu Benchmark Scores. (source)
