LG G5 shakes hands with Snapdragon 820 to shatter AnTuTu records: benchmark test scores

The new LG G5 is not only a phone with an innovative and radical new modular design, it is also an extremely powerful phone running on Qualcomm's top-end Snapdragon 820 chip.

The Snapdragon 820 is Qualcomm's top chip for early 2016: a quad-core SoC with the first Qualcomm-made 64-bit Kryo CPU running at up to 2.1GHz and in conjuction with 4GB of RAM.

How does that work out in real life? We're yet to find out in detailed tests, but we got the phone for some quick benchmark testing and the results are nothing short of impressive. In fact, the LG G5 breaks all AnTuTu records that we know of, here are the scores we got:

AnTuTu: 133,054
Vellamo Metal: 3,500
Vellamo Browser: 4,925

Preliminary benchmark test results

AnTuTu Higher is better	Samsung Galaxy S7 136695 Apple iPhone 6s 59075 LG G5 134074 Samsung Galaxy Note 5 67207
Vellamo Metal Higher is better	Samsung Galaxy S7 3632 LG G5 3515 Samsung Galaxy Note 5 2532
Vellamo Browser Higher is better	Samsung Galaxy S7 5339 LG G5 4498 Samsung Galaxy Note 5 5476

I couldn't care less about benchmarks but just want to say that this is the winner for me. S7 didn't surprise me with anything although waterproofing is always awesome, but overall I feel that G5 is better device

This antutu is really confusing for me. Is it V6.0.1? Couple of weeks ago iPhone 6s was said to score some 133000 ish points. What the heck? Plz some one clearly put up Geekbench 3 results for single and multi score..

This just old website hit pitch tactic. Get everyone talking how Sam behind. Lg so great and iphone right there still. Mid march Sam should do what we call a BustOut. They will go on ahead after final tweaking. Lg had to throw all in right now. But just wait it will change

My 6s on average hits double than what's posted above for 6s... Am I using a different Antutu app?

You're prepared to take a smaller battery over a larger battery + water proofing all due to an AnTuTu score? I've now officially read it all here at PA! :'D

G5 have wide angle camera which is essential for me taking video of my chess games. Plus the audio module might be something since I'm a audiophile (own thousands of dollars worth of headphones and equipment). Price of g5 and phone buff speed test is what I'm going to decide from. I hope g5 is significantly cheaper, otherwise I'm going with the year of free Netflix

Wow! That is much higher than I expected.. Im still not convinced that we notice the difference between last year's phones and this year's with regards to flagship speeds
