Try as they might, Qualcomm and Samsung are still not able to outperform Apple�s A-series mobile chips. The iPhone 7 is the undisputed king when it comes to mobile performance, both in benchmark tests and real-life use. Even the 2015 iPhone 6s is still able to beat 2016 flagships in real-life CPU performance.
Come next year, a new generation of mobile processors will hit the market, and Android flagships will outscore the iPhone 7. Maybe. And if they do, they�ll just barely have the edge. It�s likely their reign will be short-lived too, as Apple is working on even more powerful A-series chips for its 2017 iPhones and iPads.
An AnTuTu benchmark test for Qualcomm�s Snapdragon 835 processor found by Phone Arena shows a score of more than 180,000 points. That�s impressive, considering that the Snapdragon 835 isn�t even out yet. The processor is expected to power most of next year�s Android-based flagship handsets, including the version of Samsung�s Galaxy S8 that will be sold in the US.
But as amazing as that score might seem, it only tops Apple�s iPhone 7 by less than 10,000 points. Sure, we may be looking at a prototype Snapdragon 835 in prototype hardware, and final versions might be even better (or worse). But Apple�s A11 chip that will go into the iPhone 8 next year will undoubtedly top that score by a big margin.
Samsung�s next Exynos chip and Qualcomm�s Snapdragon 835 CPU will both be made using 10nm process technology. That means we�re looking at significant performance and energy efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon 835 alone should be 27% faster than predecessors and 40% more efficient. However, Apple�s A11 is also going to be a 10nm processor. So we�d expect it to do better than rivals in both benchmark tests and in actual usage scenarios.
We�ll also remind you that there might be a device out there in testing that already topped 200,000 in AnTuTu tests. Huawei, meanwhile, demoed a processor that does better than the iPhone 7 in actual real-life tests, but it�s yet to power a new flagship handset.
That said, 2017 will be an exciting year for mobile hardware. Regardless of what flagship phone you end up buying, it�s very likely that it�s going to be faster at day-to-day chores than anything released up to this point.
