It's a large phone: with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display, and it features a sturdy metal body that looks very stylish (and very iPhone-like, obviously), but probably the biggest highlight of this phone is its system chip.
How does that Exynos 7420 perform on the Meizu Pro 5? Here are the official benchmark scores, published by Meizu itself, take a look below.

Also the S6 has a glass back, the Meixu Pro 5 a metal back
So the Meixu Pro 5 should have better thermals, and therefore less throttling

Is it because of 1080p screen???

For Slide 6 (from translate)
Left is playing high end games, maybe, some games are 1440p, but many aren't
Middle is Weibo (Chinese equivalent of twitter), so resolution shouldn't affect it much
Right is 1080P video playback, resolution shouldn't affect that one
Resolution shouldn't affect the rest, except AnTuTu and GFXbench

Actually on second thought its probably just a "performance mode"
Geekbench is a very short benchmark, shouldn't cause any throttling on the S6

Pretty much. If people were willing to drag on pen gate for 2 weeks, no way Samsung would live if they used performance mode again. I have no issues with performance mode though. I think the whole point is to see what you can do at your peak.
Apple on the other hand. They get away with anything.

so 1080p is better than 1440p. Qhd is useless below 6inch screen anyway.
Meizu has dropped the bomb on me, I was looking forward for Lg G4 Pro(V10) OR Lumia 950XL. Now Meizu 5 Pro has joined the race. My money is more likely to fall in Meizu's favor bcoz it doesnt have firedragon sd810 or 808

Full HD display vs s6 Quad HD is probably main factor

Yes for sure the multicore performance is affected by the resolution of the display...NOT

Yes, it has option called High Performance but do you know what that actually means? Meizu phones have 3 modes - Power saver, balanced and high performance. The difference is that in power save the phone is using only 4 cores, in balanced is using 6 cores and in performance is using all cores (in this case 8). So even if it is on performance mode it is still using the same cores as galaxy s6.

Probably TouchWiz and build/thermals
TouchWiz is well known to have horrible memory management
Geekbench also tests memory too
The S6 has a glass back, the Meixu Pro 5 a metal back
So the Meixu Pro 5 should have better thermals, and therefore less throttling

There is absolutely no relation between memory management and Geekbench memory test. Geekbench memory test tests the throughput of tasks, which are more related to bandwidth.

Bandwidth is most likely the same
Then its probably because of build/thermals
Probably higher integer and floating point scores

It's due to the size difference and the 'performance' mode on the mx5. They artificially scale all cores to 2100 MHZ at all times to get higher benchmarks.
Xiaomi also does this.

Probably not size difference IMO, since the Note 5 seems to be get worse benchmarks than the S6
Materials would make a much bigger difference than size
But on second thought, for Geekbench its probably not build/thermals either
Geekbench is a very short benchmark, shouldn't cause any throttling at all
I agree its probably because of a 'performance' mode

Well if memory fills up, it then has to be clear, causing a slight delay
So it can have effects on memory speed, but it seems like Geekbench's memory test is too light to fill up the memory

as if you are famous for your truth globally?
