hello my name is Gary Sims from Android authority now many times we ask ourselves a question what is the best phone that I could buy and we're taking the guesswork out of that decision for you with our best of Android series and in this particular installment we're going to be looking at performance which phone has the highest performance suit already let's go now just to remind you of the foes that we're testing our best of Android series in no particular order they are the Sony z5 premium the Nexus 6p the LG v10 the samsung galaxy note5 the Motorola Droid turbo 2 or the Moto X Fortis is known internationally and the BlackBerry Prive so before we look at the individual performance results of these phones let's just remind ourselves of what chip we find in the internals of each of these devices now the Sony z5 premium the Nexus 6p and the Moto X force all use the Snapdragon 810 which is core comms system on a chip that uses four cortex a 57 cause and four cortex a53 cores and the court it's a 57 cause are used for the heavy lifting and the a court it's a 53 cause are used for the lighter stuff because the a 53 is more battery efficient and so the more stuff is gonna put on there the longer the battery life however the court is a 57 calls are there when hard work is needed to be done now the other octa-core phone in our lineup is the samsung galaxy note 5 and it uses Samsung's own homegrown Exynos 7420 now it's also an optical processor and it also has four quarters a57 cores and for cortex 82 three calls and we'll see how they perform compared to each other in the test results we're going to see in a moment now two phones in our lineup are actually only hexa-core phones and they are the BlackBerry Prive and the LGB 10 and they are both using the Snapdragon 808 and the 808 only has two cortex 8:37 calls and four cortex a53 calls and so interesting to see how they perform against the octa-core phones in our lineup so let's start by looking at the antutu scores now antutu is one of the most popular benchmarks available for android today but the thing we're going to remember about this benchmark and other benchmarks is that the work clothes they put on the CPU are completely artificial that it reflect real life at all however they are a good guide to see what performance levels the CPU could reach if it was pushed that's the CPU and the GPU of course says have a look at the actual results that we found from our antutu testing in first place we find the Samsung Note 5 that was then followed by the Moto X force buy the Nexus 6p and buy the Sony z5 premium now that's all of our octa-core telephones then we find a separate category slightly lower results for the BlackBerry Prive and the LG v10 in fact what we find now with the antutu scores in fact will be repeated again and again for all the different benchmarks that we have run but basically the octa-core phones perform the best out of those the note 5 tends to be the winner and then slightly behind you'll get the hexa core Snapdragon 808 devices so it's carry on another popular benchmark is Geekbench 3 and geek bates 3 gives us two results the single core result and the multi core result of the single core result tells you how fast one core is on the phone regardless it's got two calls or four calls or eight calls or six calls how fast is just one over those calls and that's the single core result then it has the multi core result when it tries to use all the core simile to produce an overall score now obviously the hexa core phones are going to do worse in the multi core test because they're missing two cores compared to the others however the single core tests will tell us whether individual cores are faster or not so let's have a look at the results so looking at these results what we find is that the fastest individual core speed goes to the galaxy note 5 following on from that we get the Snapdragon 810 processor results however we have a disappointing performance by the Nexus 6p and then in last place we get the two Snapdragon 808 phones of blackberry Prive and the LG v10 switching over to the multi-core tests again we see the Galaxy Note 5 scores the best very close behind it was the Sony z5 premium and of course in last place is their blackberry proved again because it's missing two calls which is really unfair when it comes to doing a multi-core test our next set of performance tests were performed by the Basemark OS 2 app which you could of course download from the Google Play Store as you can these other test apps that we've been using and looking at the scores we find the same story yet again the galaxy note 5 has the best score then the three Snapdragon 810 devices fairly evenly matched and then last place the BlackBerry Prive and the LG v10 up until now these tests have really been a combination of CPU and GPU tests maybe Geekbench is more CPU focused however there are some 3d benchmark tests that really just test the GPU in cooperation with the CPU to see what you can get out of these devices when it comes to 3d gaming now the first of our 3d benchmarks comes from the 3d mark app using its slingshot test suite now the slingshot test suite is specifically designed for the OpenGL ES 3.0 one graphic system which is something you find in Android 5.0 and upwards so let's have a look at the results here for a change the galaxy note 5 didn't win in fact the Nexus 6p gave the best score in fact it won by quite a way after that in the second place we get the galaxy note 5 then the other two Snapdragon 810 processors the Moto X force and the z5 premium and then again at the bottom we find the hexa core phones the BlackBerry Prive and the LG v10 another popular 3d benchmarking AB is GFX and GFX results are again quite interesting but tend to follow the norm that we've seen up until now and here things again return to normal the galaxy note 5 is the overall winner and the second place is the Sony z5 premium a good showing where the Nexus 6p however not as good as it was in the previous app a poor showing unfortunately by the Moto X force which is almost beaten by the BlackBerry Prive and then in last place we find the LG v10 now benchmarks are fine they tell us something about what the process have been doing so far we've seen across all these benchmarks a basic pattern merging about which phone has the highest performance however benchmarks don't really tell you much about real life it's all about loading a game how long does it take to load your favorite app up well we load up six apps and measured how long it would take to load each one and then took the average now those apps are brave frontier summoners war clash of clans farmville - Walking Dead and Game of Thrones let's have a look at the results in this particular test again the No five didn't win however the Moto X fourth did however only by a fraction we dive into the individual results you'll see in the note five struggled on just two particular gaming rather than being farmville and it just took slightly long with hello than it did on the Moto X fourth and therefore the Moto X force has the better average overall score unfortunately the worst performance is given by the LG v10 and the blackberry Prive now overheating is a subject that people talk about all the time with their mobile phones how warm is the device get on the back how warm does it get when you're playing 3d gaming and more particularly how warm does it get when you're recording video so we've done some tests for you we recorded some video to see what the temperature rise was on each of the devices and here are the results and as you can see the Moto X force has the biggest temperature rise across all of our devices almost 13 degrees and in comparison the galaxy note 5 is only a couple of degrees the other phones seem to perform pretty well the only one that stands out other than the Moto X force is the BlackBerry Prive which at some point had an 8 degree temperature rise when recording full HD video well that was full HD video what about 4k video well we did that test as well and here are the results as before the Moto X force has the greatest temperature rise however this time it's joined by the LG v10 which also has a significant temperature rise during the time of recording 4k video the note 5 doesn't do so quite so well this time with a 7 degree rise in temperature which is similar to that of the blackberry proved the winner in this particular category is the Nexus 6p with ownio 2 or 3 degree rise while recording 4k video and we have just one more test for you which phone can record the most video before the app stops either because it has a prebuilt limit that's built into the app that stops it from recording or because the phone overheat and the recording can't continue so here are the results as you can see for 1080p video the galaxy note 5 is the clear winner however also a good showing from the Blackberry proof and the z5 from Sony however when it comes to 4k video the BlackBerry pre of the galaxy note5 and the LG v10 are all limited to five minutes of video and then the app actually stops them from recording and the winner for 4k video in this particular instance is the zone Sony z5 premium which can manage around 30 or 40 minutes of video before it overheat and then has to stop so what does all that mean well clearly the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is the general overall winner it won many of the tests didn't win all of them but it really was the leader throughout the whole of these set of comparisons now behind the Galaxy Note 5 we find the three Snapdragon 810 phones they are the Sony z5 premium the Nexus 6p and of course the Motorola Droid turbo 2 now all of these phones did very very well and there's not much to separate them in one test maybe the Droid 1 in other tests maybe the 6p one in other tests maybe there's 8 v 1 but overall you take the average they basically perform the same throughout all of the tests and then in a category on their own you'll find those two hexa core phones the BlackBerry Prive and the LG v10 now the thing to remember is that these are all high performers phones none of them are going to give you any problems in terms of gaming or in general day a day to day usage but we are comparing the best of the best here and when you compare the best of the best the note 5 is the winner well why don't you use the comments below tell me what you think about the performance tests of these particular phones also
