- AnandTech, a publication known for its technical analyses, has put the device against Apple’s latest iPhones, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, and Samsung’s own Galaxy S8 in a series of benchmark tests.
- The iPhone has won in virtually every test against the newer Galaxy S9, sometimes with huge margins, but the S9 has performed worse than many other devices’ chipsets, too.
- But Samsung suggested that the poor test results could just be down to the current software on the phone.
Samsung announced the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, the latest entries in its flagship line of smartphones, at Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress — but benchmark results are awkwardly showing the devices scoring significantly lower than many of their competitors.
Benchmarks are synthetic tests that give numeric, quantifiable results. They are generally applications programmed to make the devices’ systems-on-a-chip (SoC) run a series of tasks and determine how long it takes them to complete.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
