Samsung Galaxy Note 8 scores 179,000 on AnTuTu

No sooner had the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 been discovered on the GFXBench site, word got around that the phablet had been put through AnTuTu's benchmark test. The version of the Galaxy Note 8 tested was the one headed for the U.S., powered by the Snapdragon 835 chipset. This unit carries an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 540 GPU. Elsewhere on this planet, you can expect to see the Note 8 powered by the Exynos 8995 SoC, with the Mali-G71 GPU.

According to AnTuTu, the Galaxy Note 8 display carries a resolution of 1080 x 2220. That is the default FHD+ resolution found on the device. Users can change the screen to 1440 x 2960 (QHD+) if they so desire. 6GB of RAM is inside along with 64GB of native storage, and just like GFXBench refused to accept that there is a dual camera setup in back, AnTuTu lists just a single 12MP rear-facing shooter. In front is an 8MP camera for selfies and video chats. Android 7.1.1 is pre-installed.

Some of the specs missing include the 6.3-inch Super AMOLED screen expected on the Note 8. Samsung will once again use the 18:9 aspect ratio employed on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+. The Galaxy Note 8 will be introduced by Samsung a week from tomorrow, which is August 23rd. Make sure to circle the date on your calendar.

We would be remiss if we didn't mention that the Galaxy Note 8 scored 179,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark test. That compares with a score over 205,000 put up by the Samsung Galaxy S8 earlier this year.
