Results of testing processing and graphics performance on the Galaxy S10/S10+ show that these are the most powerful Android smartphones today, with many parameters even approaching the iPhone XS and even beating the most advanced device.

In testing, Tom’s Guide used a demo of the Galaxy S10+ with Snapdragon 855 processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB internal memory.

Geekbench 4 (Overall Performance)

On the Geekbench 4 tool, the overall performance score of the Galaxy S10+ reached 10,732 points, much higher than other Android models such as Galaxy Note 9 (8,876 points), OnePlus 6T (8,972 points) and Pixel 3 (7,316 points).

The superiority of the Galaxy S10/S10+ compared to 2018 Android smartphones is mainly thanks to the Snapdragon 855 chip running on the new 7nm process.

However, the performance score of the device is still a bit lower than the iPhone XS when the iPhone XS with the Apple A12 Bionic chip still shows formidable power with a benchmark score on the Geekbench 4 tool of up to 11,420 points.

3DMark Sing Shot Extreme (Graphics)

We can’t lose forever, fortunately the Snapdragon 855 chip with the latest Adreno 640 GPU with up to 20% faster processing ability than the previous generation has partly helped the Galaxy S10+ rise ahead of Apple’s iPhone XS in terms of processing ability.

In the 3DMark Sing Shot Extreme test, Galaxy S10+ scored 5,648 points, surpassing OnePlus 6T (5,183 points), Galaxy Note9 (4,639 points), Pixel 3 XL (4,396 points) and iPhone XS (4,339 points).

The graphics processing ability of Galaxy S10/S10+ is also up to 20% stronger than its predecessor Galaxy S9 (4,634 points).

Video editing (Adobe Premiere Clips)

Although at the announcement, Samsung revealed that the Galaxy S10/S10+ will be optimized specifically for Adobe’s Premiere Rush video editing application.

Instead, Tom’s Guide decided to try the Adobe Clips application to test the video processing performance between the Galaxy S10+ and its Android competitors and iPhone XS.

Unfortunately, the Galaxy S10+ in particular and Android smartphones in general still cannot fill the gap in processing speed compared to the iPhone XS.

Specifically, the Galaxy S10+ takes up to 2 minutes and 26 seconds to convert a 2-minute 4K video into a Full HD 1080p video.

Saying that is not to be sad because at least the Galaxy S10+ is still faster than many other Android smartphones.

Summary: The Galaxy S10/S10+ generation can be considered the most elite and best representatives in the Android world today.

More tests will be needed on both features and actual performance when playing games, taking photos, etc. to know its actual power.

Note: The above are just benchmark results of the demo version and it is possible that with the commercial version, the score may change.
