A new “Apple vs Samsung/Android” scandal is brewing up on tech social media. How come the Galaxy S23 Ultra is now 30% slower than iPhone 14 Pro?

A new “Apple vs Samsung/Andorid” scandal is brewing up on tech social media, and some people are speaking out...

Now that the same company has launched the next version of the 2019 Geekbench 5, called Geekbench 6, the tests have changed. And what the new tests say is that the iPhone 14 Pro is much faster than any other Android phone on the market, including the Galaxy S23 Ultra and its new “For Galaxy” Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. Period. No questions asked.

A16 Bionic extends its lead over competing Android chips thanks to Geekbench 6, but not really. The test simply is supposed to be more accurate now. “In Geekbench 6, the biggest change is probably the way multi-core scores are calculated, measuring"how cores cooperate to complete a shared task" rather than assigning different tasks to each core.

But now to the big question, which is: How come the new benchmark standard made by the most popular phone performance benchmarking app, happens to make the iPhone 14 Pro seem nearly 30% faster than the brand new Galaxy S23 Ultra, which comes with an exclusive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. If we accept that Apple’s existing/old 12% lead was legitimate , the added 15% lead surely seems just as likely to be real? That speaks to the fact that Samsung’s phone was already behind when it comes to the old testing standard.

RAM management comes with a higher ceiling on the Galaxy, which not only has twice the amount of RAM , but hasLPDDR5x RAM, which can also swap storage for more RAM; all of this results in more apps staying open in the background on the S23 Ultra - mostly noticeable when you push the phones very hard certain apps is where the iPhone 14 Pro sometimes takes the lead over the Galaxy S23 Ultra...

There's a vast difference in how Android/Samsung and iPhone do things, and gaming on Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro demonstrates that very well The Galaxy S23 Ultra let’s you choose between Low, Medium, and High graphics but runs at 60Hz; the iPhone makes the graphics decision for you but runs at full 120hz, which is the highest screen refresh rate on both phones

In the end, take Geekbench for what it’s worth. A three-minute simulated benchmark will never be able to show off the full capabilities of a device, since it simply doesn’t give you the full picture of the phone’s sustained performance . Furthermore, we use our phones differently.
