Antutu, sometimes, is able to evaluate unannounced smartphones. That’s the case we are going to mention today! According to its latest updates, one secret prototype phone has got a record-breaking score: 203,737!

Secret prototype phone: more than 200.000 Antutu score!

We all know that iPhone 7 Plus is currently the official Antutu king with 172,644 scores. Its brother, iPhone 7 lands at no.2 with 170,124. However, it looks like this pair of Apple smartphones will not stay on top for so long. A new unknown phone has shown up on Antutu with 203.737 score, which is 30.000 higher. There are also hints that this new phone will be launched in Q1 of 2017.

After considering all the leaks and reports about smartphones that will hit the market in 2017, we expect that Samsung Galaxy S8 is the most likely to be this secret prototype phone. Samsung Galaxy S8 launch day is reported to be before next year’s Mobile World Congress – which will take place on 27th February. Previous leaks have shown that there will be two S8 variants in terms of chipset: one with Exynos 8895 and the other with 3.2GHz Snapdragon.

Moreover, Samsung Galaxy S8 is reported to house the Mali-G71 GPU – which is expected to be two times faster than the Mali-T880 GPU, which is available in recent Samsung flagships. Moreover, according to latest leaks on Weibo, there will be a 6GB RAM to assist the system. Other Samsung Galaxy S8 specs will include 64GB/128GB storage, 5.2-inch 4k display, 4200mAh battery and especially 30MP/9MP camera combo.

Prototype phone: The game-changing flagship of 2017?

So based on the leaked information, Samsung Galaxy S8 totally deserves more than 200.000 Antutu score right? However, up to now, nothing has been confirmed and S8 is just the most potential one. There are other possibilities such as Oppo Find 9, Microsoft Surface Phone and especially, the comeback Nokia smartphone! No matter which one is the mysterious prototype phone, 2017 will be a year to wait for!

AnTuTu is considered as one of the most popular tools commonly used to benchmark Android devices. Many parts of your devices will be tested by AnTuTu benchmark and the results will be given. But, what does AnTuTu benchmark measure on your smartphones, let’s take a look below.

AnTuTu benchmark test UX

UX is the acronym for user experience. UX score is the number you can look at to partly guess how your devices will perform. Therefore, it is the first score in the benchmark to identify end user experience. UX is divided into Multitask and Runtime. The Multitask test shows the ability of multitasking  for a phone with multi-core CPU.  Runtime test, on the other hand, illustrates how the apps are run on Android’s Dalvik runtime.

AnTuTu benchmark test RAM

RAM can be understood as random access memory. It is working continuously on your devices no matter what you are doing. RAM score given by AnTuTu can be used to assess the performance of your smartphones. It is devided into RAM operation and RAM speed. However, there is no clear distinction between those two devisions. Therefore, the total score for both of them is given to evaluate how well your smartphones work.

AnTuTu benchmark test CPU

CPU understood as central processing unit is evaluated to see whether your devices have the capability of running high-end apps or games. It is categorized into CPU integer and CPU float-point. Like RAM, to understand a comprehensive differences between two types is quite complex. That’s the reason AnTuTu give us the final score to help us decide our smartphones’ ability.

AnTuTu benchmark test GPU

The Graphic Processing Unit is known under the word GPU. GPU doesn’t really demonstrate its functionality until it comes to playing games on your devices. GPU performs all the 3D graphics, and speeds up 2D graphics. The score is again devided into 2D graphics and 3D graphics. Of course, AnTuTu will score the two devisions seperately, but we just only need to notice the final result. If you love playing smartphone games, bear GPU score in mind.

AnTuTu benchmark test IO

Input/Output represents the speed of the internal flash storage of your devices. The higher the score I/O gets, the better performance of data transference or apps switch. The I/O score has two parts: Storage I/O and Database I/O. Storage I/O tests assess the speed of reading and writing from inbuilt storage. Database I/O is about the reading from and writing to a database. Similarly to others scores, users just need to know the total score to evaluate your Android devices.

AnTuTu benchmark: a helpful reference

If you are getting lost in a vast choice of Android devices, those AnTuTu scores can be a reliable source to take a look. Comparisons among those criteria would definitely help you to choose the best Android device.
