AnTuTu posts the specs of Galaxy S7 with Exynos 8890, promises benchmark scores later

Well, they probably wanted to keep the phone the same size as the S6, perhaps so that old accessories will fit?

That's never bothered them in the past.

12MP camera?????? huh? I thought Samsung were chasing sony for their 23MP shooter?

Old accessories won't fit as the back will be curved.

Besides, S7 is for S5 users as like every other 1 year upgrade, it won't offer much over its predecessor.

No thank you. 5.1 inches is perfect for some of us

6. Shocky (unregistered)

Good for you, quite a large gap between 5.1" and 5.7" though, would be nice to have something in-between.

7. keithtae (Posts: 562; Member since: 25 Mar 2015)

5.1 is the perfect size for me. I don't mine .1 or .2 inches bigger but not 5.5.

10. Shocky (unregistered)

Never said it had to be 5.5".

34. AndroidBoy21 (Posts: 72; Member since: 29 Dec 2015)

Its one of my favourite sizes

56. killer7D (Posts: 550; Member since: 18 Sep 2014)

I totally agree .. 5.1 inch is perfect !

25. TyrionLannister (unregistered)

It's 5.17 inches. Benchmarks round it off to 5.1 inches.

Hey Tyrion...i have a curious question about apples a10.....with it probably bein built in the same die size...1. Will the preformace gains be drastic or just modestly. ..how much more do they have before the havento go to more cores...just wondering

40. TyrionLannister (unregistered)

I honestly have no idea. But Apple doesn't do anything drastic for regular iPhone chips(no S versions).

iPhone4 had mediocre chip, iPhone 5 had mediocre chip, iPhone 6 had mediocre chip too and I expect the same from iPhone 7.

PS. By mediocre I mean on par with competition. In comparison to the Ax chips of the S series models who slaughter the competition.

So I expect a modest perf. increase 20-30% with the regular GPU boost 70-80%.

Obviously this is just a speculation. But Apple likes to stick to their trends: upgrade the design in regular iPhone versions and the internals in 'S' models.

Apple A chip running android would get much lower benchmark and performance.

Its thanks to iOS thats its slaughter competition as you say.

But competition still open apps faster and better at multitasking.

but the numbers you give will probably fit with what Apple release as marketing numbers yeah.

"Apple A chip running android would get much lower benchmark and performance."

No, this suggests you know almost nothing about a system on a chip

ROFL! I couldn't have said it any better. +1 sir

51. alex3run (Posts: 715; Member since: 18 May 2014)

"Apple A chip running android will get lower scores" - false, that's the statement of hardcore android fanboy with zero knowledge about hardware.

57. BLUEBLASTER (Posts: 887; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)

So tell me Tyrion. What phone should I get this year with my upgrade?

65. TyrionLannister (unregistered)

With no phone released, i can't say anything.

32. may_czos (Posts: 952; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)

No! There are enough of bloody phablets on the market.

Antutu favours single core performance now so it's irrelevant for Android devices.

29. ibend (Posts: 6747; Member since: 30 Sep 2014)

is that so?
well maybe thats explain why score gap is so big between 5.7 and 6.0
in Antutu 5.7 -> S6 get 70k while i6s get 60k
in Antutu 6.0 -> S6 get 80k while i6s get 100k+

33. may_czos (Posts: 952; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)

Exactly that's why - new Antutu favours single core performance that's why there's a huge gap - iPhone bases its performance on few powerful cores.

45. marorun (Posts: 5029; Member since: 30 Mar 2015)

Benchmark dont give real life usage.

In real life same app open faster on the S6 than iphone 6S.
In real life multitasking is faster and better on most android phone than iphone 6S.

Benchmark since a few year are starting to be crappy.
first you have OEM thats tweak phone to find out its running a benchmark and overclock itself.
Then you have company getting paid or good deal in the shadow to tweak benchmark to work better on some phone or platform.

Looks like i'm about to get paid.

15. Avishek (Posts: 46; Member since: 25 Sep 2014)

You are one of that stupid jerks who choose their devices looking just at that number. Me and many other here ( i hope) are not only after the numbers. We choose smartphones to satisfy our needs. Not to show the scores in comparison with other. I am using a iphone 6 but i am ready to choose other one thats suit my needs with lesser scores. Lg v10, moto x style, g4, s6 any one of them. You better troll in other place.

63. killer7D (Posts: 550; Member since: 18 Sep 2014)

You choose your device to show your friends that your are carrying iUgly ..

64. Avishek (Posts: 46; Member since: 25 Sep 2014)

It was a gift and I thought to give it a try. Not just to show. And now i am keen to trade it.
