iPhone SE Beats Samsung S20 Ultra & Pixel 4 in Performance

iPhone SE Beats Samsung S20 Ultra and Pixel 4 in CPU and GPU Performance

Every bit per new benchmarks from an iPhone SE review, the smartphone beats every Android flagship phone in diverse CPU and GPU performance comparisons. Because of its smaller display which requires has a lower resolution compared to every other flagship iPhone 11 models, iPhone SE even outperforms them in GPU intensive benchmarks.

Powered by an A13 Bionic processor, iPhone SE in a powerhouse in a small-scale parcel. Despite a smaller size and lower price tag, it has exactly the same processor as iPhone 11, with the aforementioned clock speeds and core count. As per AnandTech's review, the A13 Bionic SoC has the following specifications:

ii × Lightning Performance @ 2.66GHz 8MB L2
four × Thunder Efficiency @ 1.73GHz 4MB L2

The iPhone SE is also powered past an Apple tree GPU with 4 Cores, however, the RAM used in the device is 3GB, which is 1GB less than iPhone xi. iOS devices don't need 12GB of RAM to part well like Android flagships, so iPhone SE has more than than enough RAM to outperform Android offerings.

AnandTech put the phone through the paces against other iPhone models, and flagships smartphones by Samsung, Huawei, ASUS, Sony, LG, Google, and OnePlus. iPhone SE came out on peak in almost all benchmarks against Android phones, and fifty-fifty vanquish iPhone 11 in 1.

The first benchmarks involved Javascript performance, and iPhone SE was just backside iPhone 11 smartphones in Speedometer two.0, however, information technology beat iPhone 11 in JetStream two. Compared to the next Android competitor in these benchmarks, iPhone SE was twice as fast as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, which is powered past Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865.

In WebXPRT 3, which is another browser based web-performance benchmark, iPhone SE was outperformed past iPhone 11. This can be attributed to the smartphones have larger batteries which can help with ability-efficiency, compared to SE's smaller battery.

In Basemark GPU 1.ii, Samsung S20 Milky way Ultra, a $1,400 smartphone, was toe to toe with iPhone SE in sustained performance, however, the latter comfortably outperformed information technology in meridian performance. In other GFXBench benchmarks, iPhone SE was way ahead of Android offerings, even beating iPhone 11 in Vulkan/Metallic off-screen numbers, in sustained performance. Check out the detailed GPU benchmarks here.

These benchmarks did not include Geekbench numbers, which is often wrongly criticized to be favorable to iOS devices in terms of performance measuring. Of course, benchmarks only tell ane side of the story. Withal, these performance numbers bear witness that Android smartphone performance numbers are not all they are fabricated out to be by their manufacturers, if a $400 phone can outperform their $1400 smartphone. If anything, this should compel Android customers to ask for ameliorate operation on low to mid-range Android smartphones from OEMs.
