Mobile phone processors or SoC today are full-fledged computers with components such as CPU, GPU, image signaling process, artificial intelligence accelerators, security, sensors and cache memory. When you're looking for your next phone, manufacturers typically publish the SoC or mobile phone processor they use. This can range from Snapdragon from Qualcomm, Exynos from Samsung, Helio from Media tech, or A-series chips from Apple. But each of them uses this SoC in a different way and optimizes these chips for better performance with their operating system.

Consumers are generally not very aware of these differences. Consumers buying mid-range phones will generally check for RAM, storage and possibly whether it is a quad-core processor or dual-core processor. But the speed of each core in the processor is not something that every consumer will understand. In addition, manufacturers do not clearly display all specifications. For example, most manufacturers still don't share the frequency of RAM they use with an SoC. It says LPDDR5 or LPDDR4, but the frequency in MHz is not specified. Likewise, memory or storage speed is not something that many manufacturers will openly share on their website.

The best way to overcome all this insight into performance specifications is to review industry benchmarking instead of just taking the manufacturer's word for it.

Antutu & Geekbench are two universally respected tools that allow you to test the processor, GPU and OS optimization for the SoC in use. This will always help you get a better return for the money you spend on your next cell phone.

Antutu benchmark

– It is the most popular Android smartphone and tablet. More than 100,000,000 users
– The #1 benchmarking app for technology addicts, bloggers and enthusiasts.
– Via the Click and Go test suite, Antutu benchmark measures user experience, CPU, RAM, 2D/3D graphics, GPU, I/O performance of an Android smartphone or tablet. You can get an accurate report on your device's performance score and your device ranking, which you can share and compare with other Android devices.
