Samsung Galaxy S4 Benchmarked: Serious Power, Dim Display

After months of waiting, Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S4 to the world, and its latest superphone is packing some serious power. There will be two versions of the Galaxy S4, an international model powered by Samsung’s octa-core Exynos processor and a U.S. version sporting a 1.9-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. Following the Samsung event, we managed to get some hands-on time with a U.S. version of the S4 and test it using the AnTuTu Benchmark to see just how powerful Samsung’s new halo phone really is.

AnTuTu Benchmark is a comprehensive test that measures a smartphone’s memory performance, CPU integer and floating point performance, 2D and 3D graphics and more. Each category is scored and added together to get an overall system score. After running the test with no other software running in the background, the Galaxy S4 pulled down an impressive overall score of 21,089. That’s significantly higher than AnTuTu’s Galaxy S III benchmark average of 16,301. However, that’s to be expected, as the Galaxy S III runs a less powerful 1.5-GHz dual-core Qualcomm chip.
