New Samsung Galaxy S8 was tested in popular benchmarks such as Geekbench and Antutu. In the process, a model with the EXYNOS 8895 chipset was participated, and not Snapdragon 835. The smartphone with a Qualcomm decision will appear on the counters of the American and Chinese markets, when the Russian consumers receive a version with the Exynos 9 series processor.
In the benchmark Antutu Galaxy S8 scored 174 155 pointsThat only 1045 points more than that of the iPhone 7 Plus, which headed the rating of the most powerful smartphones since its output. In addition, the EXYNOS 8895 chipsets bypassed Snapdragon 821 (OnePlus 3T) for all 10 thousand points. This chipset is used in many flagship Android devices, including LG G6.
As for Benchmarck Geekbench, Samsung S8 turned out to be an undisputed leader in a multi-core test by typing 6339 points. He surpassed the chipset KIRIN 960, which is used in smartphone Huawei. P10 Plus. Performance in single-core mode has improved, but not so much so that you can leave behind the iPhone 7 Plus.
Yes, the results are strange, because, by leaking data to the network, S8 had to gain more than 200 thousand points. Perhaps the fact is that the stand sample was tested, on which is pre-installed not the freshest software. We will definitely repeat the tests of the new flagships of the South Korean brand when they appear on sale.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge gained 134,599 points in Antutu 134
SM-G950 - Presumably Samsung Galaxy S8 model number. The video appeared in the network shows how Samsung's upcoming flagship scored a record 205,284 points in testing on the Benchmarca Antutu website. If this is actually so, then Galaxy S8 is a smartphone who scored more than all points in antutu testing. He surpasses even Apple iPhone. 7 With its indicator 181 807 points. The joy of many users of the most popular mobile OS, the most anticipated Android smartphone put a performance record.
Of the current Android smartphones, the leader based on testing results in ANTUTU is considered based on the Snapdragon 821 OnePlus 3T chipset, which scored 162,423 points. However, there is nothing surprising in the fact that more modern technologies are ahead of those technical solutionsthat were used in the past.
Such a significant superiority over OnePlus 3T on Antutu is probably provided by Galaxy S8 new generation chipsets. After all, this smartphone is based on Snapdragon 835 or Exynos 8895, depending on the version. Additionally, it is also noted that in other benchmarks Galaxy S8 and S8 + also managed to prove themselves better than the smartphones presented today.
Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 - Chipset 2017 with an eight-core central processor, equipped with four 2.45-gigahertors and four more 1.9 gigahertz nuclei. In addition, this chipset also contains the Adreno 540 graphics processor.
The fact that Antutu Apple A10 is somewhat inferior to the new Snapdragon 835 chipset, intended for the flagship Android-devices of the new technological season, was reported back in December last year.
It is interesting to note how much the leaders in the results of the antutu tests have increased. In the spring of last year, top smartphones were brought, scored more than all points in this testing as of the first quarter of 2016. The highest indicator was at Xiaomi MI 5. It was 136,875 points. SAMSUNG GALAXY 7 EDGE followed second, then with a result of 134,599 points. Thus, the first two places in the ranking were at Android-smartphones, leaving the iPhone 6s based on Apple A9 (133 781 score) only third place.
Even more noticeable progress is observed compared to the results of testing devices by last year's generation. SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 scored in Antutu with only 76,912 points. iPhone 6 showed a wonderful result for its time - 83,364 points. Dynamics of productivity growth of smart phones in three years seems very obvious.
Samsung will present Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 + in New York on March 29, 2017. But this does not mean that the devices will immediately appear on sale. They can go to the market only on April 28 of the current year. For the announcement of the announcement and entering the market of new smartphones in the network, two possible causes are called.
The first of them is that Samsung twice and three times checks everything in its updates to avoid repetition of the situation with Galaxy Note. 7. The second reason may be the fact that both Samsung and Qualcomm have difficulty producing their new chipsets manufactured in accordance with the 10-nanometer technological process. We are talking about Exynos 8895 and Snapdragon 835, which will find a use in the flagship smartphones Samsung 2017.
Do you think the result of testing a smartphone in Antutu is important for evaluating its consumer qualities?
According to Phonearena.com and theandroidsoul.com
We waited: manufacturers began to be measured not only by the size of the screens, but also the number of cameras. As soon as we started to get used to smartphones with three modules, like Samsung released a gadget with four! What is it - marketing or revolution in mobile shooting? We disassemble the Korean novelty under the microscope.
Why so many cameras and how they work
When you take into the hands of A9 (2018), first of all, of course, I want to try out photo inhibition. Why are the cameras four and what is responsible for each?
- The first module is the main one. It received a resolution of 24 MP and f / 1.7 highcase optics. Most often, the owner will do the photo on this camera.
- The second is wide angle. With an angle of view of 120 degrees, resolution of 8 megapixel and optics F / 2.4. With its help, more objects are placed in the frame.
- The third chamber implements a two-time optical zoom. The sensor has 10 megapixel, and the telephoto lens has a diaphragm F / 2.4.
- The last module for 5 MP is required for the "Live Focus" function - beautiful blur back background In portrait mode.
The idea is excellent. Theoretically, using specialized cameras can be removed from such angles, which were previously unattainable for many smartphones. It turns out such a universal combination from different focal lengths - both on lenses in mirror cameras.
The quality of shooting on the main module immediately shows that the smartphone belongs to the A-series - the medium-budget line. A9 (2018) adequately photographs with good lighting. In cloudy weather and in the dark it clearly seen that digital noises appear and detailing is lost, which would not hurt to add brightness.
Wide-angle camera often helps and allows you to make amazing frames. In a novelty from Samsung put a simple module without autofocus. With bad lighting, it is practically useless, but the day the beautiful 120-degree panorama comes out.
The main question is K. galaxy cameras A9 (2018): Why did you need to put the fourth module for blurring the background? In other devices, including S9 + and Note9, a telephoto lens is used for the bokeh effect, which perfectly copes with the measurement of the depth of field.
When shooting video, digital stabilization high quality removes inevitable hand shakes. Microphones are well written sound. You can shoot beautiful videos up to the resolution of Ultra HD (4K).
Too familiar design
Watching the front of Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018), it is not possible to confuse it with other brand flagships. Most of all it looks like Note9, especially impressive dimensions. The difference is that the novelty is ordinary, and not curved screen. The side of the Bixby button is also located. After randomly pressing in his pocket, she launches a corporate Korean service that does not really work in Russia. It saves that the key can be reassigned to another action by downloading a special application.
But behind the "nine" with nothing to confuse with anything - she has two times more "pupils" than typical smartphones. Not to all such a design will have to do, but it is accurately distinguished against the background of other devices. Put the A9 (2018) at the workshop of the screen down - and the attention of the colleague to the device is guaranteed.
Opponents of "Mongobrov" can breathe calmly: Samsung is still conservative in this regard - does not go to the fashion, while maintaining a full-fledged framework from above and below. However, they could be less. Korean gadget looks truly giant, if compared with 6.3-inch displays of Chinese competitors. Time flies quickly, and by the end of 2018 the models without the "Chelka" look a little old-fashioned. Especially on the background of new products with drop-shaped cuts under the front chamber.
Good old super amoled
In Galaxy A9 (2018), almost the same matrix, as in the A8 (2018): with the aspect ratio of 18.5: 9 and the resolution of 2220x1080 pixels. By Quality Pictures This is a typical middown with Super AMOLED, a little inferior to the top versions. The maximum brightness is not always enough under the sun, and under small slopes the screen slightly zelenite is the usual properties of the amoled displays.
There are advantages. The display is well transmitted white. Total color reproduction has acquired more natural shades on standard settings, without corporate acidity, which was present in the old Samsung models. In the screen parameters, you can experiment, select different display modes. There is Always on-Display's brand option that constantly shows time and missed notifications.
The processor is not topny, but with games copes
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) received not the most recent but still powerful processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 660. He definitely went to the device for the benefit.
"Nine" - one of the most fast models Korean brand: Shell flies, no irritant lags when scrolling in Play Market., Instagram or twitter. Even Bixby during random swipes is not in the other side on the desktop launched without familiar friezes. A9 equipped 6 GB of operational and 128 GB internal memory - It is more than the basic version of the Samsung Galaxy S9.
World of Tanks Blitz comes with maximum graphics, issuing a stable 60 FPS. In PUBG at high settings - on average 28 frames per second. In Antutu, the smartphone is gaining 138 thousand points - an excellent result.
As in most other relevant devices of 2018, the novelty of Samsung received unlocking in the face. It is simple, without an infrared sensor or scanner of iris, works with frontal chamber. Changes with its task is tolerable only with good lighting. Twilight will have to use the fingerprint scanner on the rear panel.
Autonomy
A bunch of economy Super Amoled with a 3800 mAh battery and an energy-efficient Qualcomm processor gives full day of work without recharging (5-6 hours of the screen included). When playing a video, the device lasted almost 15 hours. In one hour, shootout in the Pubg battery sat down by 23%.

RESULTS
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is a bold experiment of the Korean brand. The novelty does not surprise the quality of shooting, four cameras did not bring anything new - all modes available to them are in the gadgets with just three modules. It grips that in A9 (2018) there is no moisture protection, although it was equipped with A8, which is two times cheaper. The manufacturer also removed the MST support and did not provide the possibility of wireless charging.
Despite such minuses, A9 (2018) - good smartphone For those who do not plan to overpay for the flagship model, but wants a decent gadget from the famous brand. The device really works quickly at the Qualcomm processor and 6 GB of RAM, the battery charge perfectly, and the quality of the pictures will suit the majority of users.

Technical characteristics of Galaxy S8 / S8 +. results galaxy tests S8 + in Antutu and other benchmarks. Comparison of galaxy with competitors for the speed of work.
The technical characteristics of Galaxy S8 do not allow even to doubt that Korean will be very fast. Faster than the predecessor, faster than all the flagships of spring 2017 and most of last year's smartphones. The intrigue is whether the Galactic becomes the fastest Smartphone of the Planet Earth in all categories, including the speed of working with graphics and the computing power of the central processor?
Intrigue is really present, because in some components, the rivals are damn good and demonstrate outstanding abilities. For example, no one can compete with A10 Fusion with GEEKBENCH 4 Single-Core tests. In the same Geekbench, but in multitasking mode, the phones from the Middle Kingdom on KIRIN 960 were leading, and their leadership until now was undeniable.
In terms of working with video and 3D graphics, Galaxy S8 on Exynos 8895 will also meet strong rivals represented by flagships on Snapdragon 820/821. Graphic accelerator Adreno 530 is very good, will his Mali-G71 surpass, which is in the Galaxy S8 on Exynos?
In short, the test Galaxy S8 on Exynos 8895 (it was the version on E8895 that GSmarena journalists were tested) is great interest in all respects. There are enough questions to answer which Antutu, GFX 3.1 and GeekBench 4 can be answered, supplemented by various variations of Basemark Basemark. Go!
Samsung Galaxy S8: Characteristics of the Chipset
If technical characteristics of samsung Galaxy S8 you are beautifully familiar to you, boldly wipe the article until the next subsection dedicated to the results of S8 + tests and comparing Galaxy S8 + with competitors and predecessors. If the characteristics of Galaxy S8 / S8 + are interesting to you, see the table and read the short summary of the Five-Inchess editor immediately under the table.
On the territory of Europe, that is, we will sell Samsung Galaxy S8 on the EXYNOS 8895 chipset, and in the USA, China and Japan on the counters will receive a version on Snapdragon 835. Both chipsets are produced in a 10 nm technological process and have 8 computing central processing cores. .
The EXYNOS 8895 and SNAPDRAGON 835 processor architecture and Snapdragon 835 differs, but the differences are not so significant as it may seem. Both chips are created on 4 Cortex A73 reference nuclei and 4 Cortex A53 reference nuclei.
The difference is that Qualcomm customized (finalized) all 8 nuclei and renamed them to Kryo 280 CPU. SAMSUNG engineers changed only 4 cores of the fast cluster (Cortex A73) and renamed their Mongoose V2 (they are exynos m2), and a cluster of slow nuclei left unchanged - this is 4 reference Cortex A53.
The result of these dances with tambourines were chips with two clusters operating on comparable clock frequencies. SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 / S8 + on Exynos The frequency of the rapid cluster is limited to 2.3 GHz, and an energy efficient is 1.7 GHz. The frequency characteristics of Galaxy S8 on S835: 2.4 GHz + 1.9 GHz. Detailed is in a special material. We recommend reading, talking about the nuances, which in this publication remained for the scenes.
From technical characteristics Galaxy S8 / S8 + remained to name 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of internal memory. Graphic version of the version on Snapdragon 835 - promising Adreno 540, while in the Galaxy S8 on the E8895 there is a 20-core Mali-G71 MP20 monster. And now, after a long, and for someone and tedious, conversation about theory, go to practice - the results of the tests of Galaxy S8 + in key benchmarks.
Galaxy S8 + tests in Antutu and other popular benchmarks
Guys from Gsmarena tested the senior representative of the mini-line - Galaxy S8 + on the EXYNOS 8895 chipset, that is, the version that is presented in our latitudes. Comparison of Galaxy S8 + with competitors does not always end with the victory of the Galaxy, especially in graphic tests with native display resolution, but in Antutu Galaxy S8 + ahead of the planet all. But first things first.
Comparison Galaxy S8 + in GeekBench 4: New Multitasking Leader
The computational power of the CPU (CPU) is estimated in the benchmark GEEKBENCH 4 in two modes. In multitasking mode (Multi-Core), all the processor kernels work, only one kernel is used in the Single-Core mode. The last test shows how smooth will work operating system Android.
In GeekBench 4 Multi-Core Galaxy S8 + scored a record 6338 points and ahead of even traditional category leaders - smartphones at KIRIN 960. iPhone 7 Plus Behind, and the lag is essential. Note. Charts are incorrectly displayed in the Samsung Internet browser, old browsers and some built-in mobile platform browsers. We recommend opening a publication in current builds. Google Chrome., Opera or Firefox.
Comparison of Samsung Galaxy S8 + in Geekbench 4 (Multi-Core)
In the mode of one core of the case of the eighth galaxy went not so cool - new flagship There is a closure with Huawei Mate 9 Pro, but lags behind the iPhone 7 Plus. However, although the CPU smartphones from Cupertino leads in Geekbench 4 Single-Core with a large margin, it does not interfere with the iPhones "slightly slowting down". When comparing the speed of work, which is called, "on the eye", that is, while starting the applications, the seventh iPhone is managed to lag from much cheaper smartphones.
Galaxy S8 + tests in GeekBench 4 (Single-Core)
We add that earlier Samsung conducted comparative testing of S8 on Exynos and Snapdragon 835 in the Geekbench benchmark. The results of this comparison you will find in the article.
Galaxy S8 + in GFX 3.1 Manhattan and GFX 3.1 Car Scene: Mali-G71 triumph
When testing the Galaxy S8 + graphics adapter in different versions of Benchmarke GFX 3.1, it is necessary to take into account that with native screen resolution, the video accelerator has to calculate 576,000 additional pixels. This is a lot, and it affects the results in Onscreen tests.

Comparison Galaxy S8 + in GFX 3.1 Manhattan (OnScreen)
But when you enable standard permission Full HD (Offscreen mode) graphic adapter Mali-G71 manifests itself in all its glory and confidently bypass competitors, including the iPhone 7 Plus. In a certain sense, it is really triumph.
Pay attention to the huge advantage of Galaxy S8 + above the Huawei flagships that work on a similar graph. The colossal difference is explained by the video card configuration: if there is a 20-nuclear version of Mali-G71 MP20 in Galaxy S8 +, then in the 8-nuclear MALI-G71 MP8 adapter.

Another benchmark for testing the speed of work with graphics, Basemark ES 3.1 / Metal, confirms the emerging alignment of the strength. The comparison of Galaxy S8 + with competitors invariably ends with the unconditional victory of the Galaxy. The only exception to this rule becomes the seventh iPhone plus.

Comparison of Galaxy S8 + in Antutu and Basemark OS 2.0: Record 174070 points
And now about the results that many are interested in most - how much does Galaxy S8 + type in Antutu? And he dials a record 174070 points, thanks to which it comes to all, and here without any exceptions. And the Chinese flagships, and the Cupertin miracle remained behind, although it should be recognized that the advantage over the iPhone 7 Plus is minimal. (Above only iPhone 7, which has an incomparable smaller screen resolution.) Huawei flagships are greatly losing, but it is not surprising - in the integrated Antutu test, smartphones at KIRIN 960 are traditionally coming in the best way.
Before the official presentation of the new generation of the legendary flagship smartphones, Samsung remains a few days, so it is not surprising to see all new facts and leaks. Of course, still between the fans of Epplovskaya production and fans of Samscrove gadgets does not defeat the dispute: what is better? But it is worth recognizing one thing: whether the flagship series is from Samsung by the leader in this race or not, the Gallaxics have always remained leaders in the field of android. And indeed, despite the high cost, the same Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone was considered the most powerful smartphone At the time of the announcement. As for photo calling, it is still enters into the top leaders, despite the fact that there is no two-module chamber in the smartphone, but one single module, though with high-quality high-quality optics. But back to the novelty, which is about to be the most discussed on the market.
Performance
So, the key point of the flagship in a number of other competitors is performance. Of course, even the gicks do not even look at the points in the attitude, but the parameter has a place to be and the next flagship galaxy simply cannot hit the face in the dirt. So it came out! Record: SAMSUNG GALAXY S8. Having wore all the smartphones in the Antutu test and scored an impressive number of points, namely - 205 284! To date, this is a record number among everything that is already available on the market.
The predecessor boasts 134 828-points, which is also a lot. And if we speak frankly, this is enough for a couple of years so accurately. It is unlikely that the gaming industry will advance so far in the near future, here we are speech as always on ahead of iron-hardening. But the fact remains the fact: the flagships are developing, and to keep on the top of the world's world is impossible without a performance racing.
Of course, without the influence of a competitor from the EPL, it did not cost. So, before today, the leader remained the iPhone 7 plus, which scored in the same Antutu 184 981 points. And here Galaxy S8, I can't give up. After all, it is announced in spring, which means to give the competitor, the more autumn it was simply impossible. Now back to other leaks.
What else became known in terms of iron?
Of course, leakage leaks, and after the release, the characteristics may differ from information from dubious sources. Whatever it was, the essence is already clear - we must be a worthy continuation with a powerful stuffing. And here must be used by a powerful chip like Shenpndragon 835. or Corporate Exinios 8895, which should work with 4 or 6 GB of RAM. In any case, it is obvious that the chip did not appear on the market earlier: such power guaranteed to pay attention.
Design and dimensions
According to the data obtained, the new Galaxy S8 will be presented in two versions. The first will receive 5.8, the second is 6.2 inches. It may well be, given, the basic version of many producers will usually be reduced and increased in the plan diagonal to the counterclaim. The same iPhone received an enlarged plus version in the appropriate to the basic. In any case, the displays will be curved. This should be expected if you consider that Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge caused considerable interest among users. Interestingly Other: Will there be unscrewed versions? After all, the solution has opponents: in particular, some users complain that it is uncomfortable to enjoy the curved display in some cases, and the movies are doubtful. But back K. curved displays Galaxy S8: It is assumed that they will receive permissions in 2560x1440 points and 2960x2400 points. These are incredible figures for smartphones, all the same permission racing will not be completed yet, although in practice such high density Pixels impossible to see the naked eye.
Whatever it was, one is known for sure: both decisions will be performed on amoled technology. It is also assumed that they will receive technology that allows you to recognize the power of presses, like the one that is already used by the Eplovtsians. And last, as for the design: it is assumed that the display will receive roundings like that we see in LG G6. And for the general ergonomics, the "Home" button, who has already managed to become a cult for the series - will disappear. The imprint scanner will move onto the back.
