Iphone 4S Benchmark

Iphone 4S made a huge splash in the world of smarthphone a few days ago. And now it keeps hitting the news. Today someone posted a benchmark of it. You can all see the result in the pictures below.


Start with the browser benchmark, called BrowserMark, the iPhone 4 had managed to get a score of 51,701 while running a GM beta version of iOS 5. The popular Galaxy S II, with its dual-core Exynos processor, managed to get a score of 55,144, which was the highest so far for any smartphone.

Now this is where the iPhone 4S comes in. The Safari browser running on iOS 5 and the dual-core A5 processor managed to obliterate the competition with a score of 89,567. No matter which side of the camp you may be, you cannot deny that it is an incredible score.


Now onto Sunspider JS Benchmark score from the iPhone 4S, which probably explains the BrowserMark result to a point. The latest Apple smartphone got the best result of any smartphone to date, while its iPhone 4 predecessor came in second. Safari on iOS5 obviously has the best JavaScript engine by some distance.


Still the processing power advantage of the A5 SoC over its A4 predecessor is there for everyone to see. Using identical browser for the same test, the iPhone 4S is nearly twice as good as its predecessor.

What's even more exciting is the Apple iPhone 4S GPU, which also got benchmarked ahead of the release of the smartphone. Its performance advantage over the GPU used in the iPhone 4 is 7 to 8 times, which is really stunning and matches Apple's claims.

Now, let's see if the real world usage is as good as the benchmark. What do you think of the new Iphone 4S? Please do tell in the comment below.

Photos from the new Samsung Nexus Prime


It appears that someone who has accessed to the unannounced Samsung Nexus Prime, uploaded photos taken from the said handset. It's uploaded on Picassa and has now been pulled, giving the more reason that it's indeed taken from Samsung Nexus Prime.

Although it's still unannounced officially, the Samsung Nexus Prime has been the victim of the rumor mill. It's said to have a 4,6 inches HD Super Amoled screen, 1,5 GHz Dual Core Processor, NFC support, and the most important thing of all, the Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS.
