Thanks to Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, we’ll see faster Android phones for the rest of this year and into 2023. This component will be manufactured by TSMC using the 4nm process node (with one exception to be discussed later). Foundry says the new silicon is 35% faster and 40% more energy efficient than his Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. As process nodes shrink, smaller transistors are used on chips, allowing more transistors to be placed inside, making them more powerful and draining less battery.
Based on AnTuTu score, iQOO 11 5G could be the fastest Android handset
Will iQOO 11 5G be the fastest Android phone on the planet?
One way to determine the speed of your phone compared to other models is to run a benchmark test. One of his apps that does this is his AnTuTu, but his benchmark app was removed from the Google Play Store in 2020 because Cheetah Mobile violated Play Store policies. Cheetah Mobile is not an owner of his AnTuTu, but an investor in the platform. Still, AnTuTu says it works independently of Cheetah.
iQOO 11 5G beats out some very high-scoring gaming phones
Smartphones where iQOO 11 5G tops AnTuTu include ROG Phone 6 and ROG Phone 6 Pro. These two gaming handsets scored 1,117,968 and 1,110,082 respectively on AnTuTu and are powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Other high-scoring models topped by iQOO phones include the Asus Zenfone 9, Xiaomi Mi 12T Pro, and Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro.
Some Android makers had a habit of gaming a system that added a few points to their benchmark scores. So while we can’t use the benchmarking app to provide definitive words, it’s just like two sports his fans Aaron Judge discussing whether he’s the one-season home run record holder. In addition, it may serve as a conversation starter.
By the way, the iQOO brand is owned by the Chinese secretive BBK Electronics. This is the same company that owns Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and Realme.
