Samsung Galaxy S6 currently fastest Smartphone - benchmarks

Even before the Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 edge were launched they had reveled the new Exynos 7420 soc which created a lot a discussion. Now after the launch, turns out that there will no snapdragon version made.

But how much good is the new Exynos 7420 soc? Will it be able to compete with recently launched snapdragon 810?

Well it turns out it, the new chip outpaced every Smartphone to date. According to the geekbench ( a benchmarking tool ), GS6 scored 4547 as compared to 3959 of snapdragon 810 on HTC one m9. Nvidia's K1 was on third place which scored 3423. Apple is behind at 2911.

Saying that it doesn't means S6 is blazingly fast. The OS also determines the smoothness and performance of the phone. The android lollipop does help boost the performance but Samsung's proprietary skin is known to cause some lag due to being heavily customized. Benchmarks cannot reveal the actual fluidity of the phone and how the phone will handle. And benchmarks can also be cheated.

Samsung is currently ahead of Qualcomm as the Exynos 7420 is made on 14nm process and Qualcomm will launch it's chip based on 14nm process with the snapdragon 820 (read more about the snapdragon 820).
