This is more of a geeky post but i think it is all important considering the amount we spent on our new device. Most friends ask me a lot of questions as regards which android phone is the best, i tell them that sometimes specs could be misleading and the best way to determine a powerful device is to test its performance. Why guess at the performance of your device when you can run some tests and get detailed statistics? This is a test of your device’s CPU, GPU, and other hardware components – in addition to your browser.Whether you’re curious about how your Android stacks up against the latest devices on the market, trying to determine the benefits of an overclock, or looking for the best browser, This test can help you.Benchmarking apps are useful for measuring the performance of your device and comparing the scores with similar devices. They test the performance of processors, graphics systems, Web browsing, and more. Here are five benchmarking apps for Android devices that you can use to see how your device measures up:
1. Quadrant
Quadrant Standard Edition tests CPU, I/O, and 3D graphics. After running through the tests, you're required to submit the score to the company's servers in order to see the results. The bar chart shows your overall score and compares it with other devices.
2. Linpack
Linpack is a benchmark that's been used to measure the CPU performance of some of the world's fastest computers. Now, you can use the same benchmark to test your Android phone or tablet. The final score is given in MFLOPS and is a quick and simple test of your device's performance. People who use custom ROMs and overclock their Android systems often use Linpack to monitor performance improvements.
3. Neocore
Neocore was originally developed by Qualcomm to test its Adreno GPU but can be used to measure the 3D graphics performance of Android devices with non-Adreno GPU's. Scores are provided in FPS.
4. AnTuTu
AnTuTu tests CPU, RAM, graphics, database, and SD card components and provides scores for each component as well as an overall score. It's similar to Quadrant Standard but AnTuTu allows you to see all subscores. Once the test is completed, you can view your score in a nice bar chart next to other Android devices. As a fun option, you can also submit your score to the AnTuTu servers to see your device's world ranking.
5. Vellamo
Vellamo, like Neocore, was developed by Qualcomm. It measures the Web browsing performance of Android devices in four categories--rendering, javascript, user experience, and networking.
You can download all the apps mentioned above for free from the Android Market. Share your scores with us in the comments to see how your Android smartphone or tablet measures up!
