What is Reddit's opinion of PCMark for Android Benchmark?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

PCMARK for Android

Yeah, by default HellsCore is set to 90C, and Kernel Adiutor doesn't seem to show 'Temperature throttle' with my current setup. so i've had to use 2 different Kernel Apps, i'm not too happy about that :(

> Maybe use the Antutu 3D Benchmark? And see which battery drains?

If you don't have any specific preference, I may try the PCMark Work 2.0 benchmarking tool.

> Work 2.0 benchmark > See how your device handles common productivity tasks - browsing the web, editing videos, working with documents and data, and editing photos. Use Work 2.0 to measure the performance and battery life of your device with tests based on real applications. Or run the original Work test to compare your device with older models.

I need to figure out if it will allow continuous testing, so without me taking action every so many minutes.

I can use one of my healthiest normal-size batteries (I am currently testing my battery collection with AccuBattery).

• So I would use the same battery in both devices, to rule out any battery differences.
• Before each test, I would fully charge the battery up to 100% + allow at least 1 hour extra charging after it reaches 100%.
• I will run the test on each device twice, e.g. in the order A-B-B-A
• I shall set the screen brightness to a fixed value (so non-auto), e.g. 20% brightness?
• So both devices will be without SIM cards, but I may turn on bluetooth and Wifi.
• I may set up different fonts on each device, so it is easier to distinguish them when going through the screenshots.
• I may factory reset both devices or at least make sure they sort of have the same amount of apps installed.

Do you have any more ideas to make this a successful and fair Nougat vs Oreo battery endurance test?

I used the PCMark for Android benchmark app. Storage speed is important for general snappiness and for capturing 4K video. I'd like to see everyone else's score, especially for the P20 and the Honor View 10.

My old Honor 6X benchmark score. Neither phone has an SD Card installed.

I used the Work 2.0 benchmark from Futuremark's PCMark for Android app

*edit: be warned it does take a while depending on how long your battery lasts

There's a benchmark for that.

From the (still) mildly popular (0.1+%), the Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013) & S3 (2012) seem to top the list.

Skipping the 0.0 popularities:

• 2h31m - Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013), different SoC's hit up to 3h08m
• 2h48m - Samsung Galaxy S3 (2012)
• 2h57m - LG Nexus 5 (2013)
• 3h16m - Samsung Galaxy Note III (2013)
• 3h31m - LG G4 (2015)
• 3h39m - HTC One M9 (2015)
• 3h46m - LG G2 (2013)
• 3h48m - LG G3 (2014)
• 3h50m - Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (2014)
• 3h51m - Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (2016)
• 3h52m - Samsung Galaxy S5 (2014)
• 3h52m - Motorola Nexus 6 (2014)
• 3h58m - Samsung Galaxy S6 (2015)
• 4h05m - Samsung Galaxy Note II (2012)
• 4h09m - LG V10 (2015)
• 4h09m - Asus ZenFone 2 (2015)

NB: The way this is measured is not by recording screen-on time statistics, but by running 'PCMark for Android's benchmark. So in principle it could be wildly different. But hey, they all run Android, so the actual workload should be similar-ish. As a reference point, as they are not supported by this benchmark: the iPhone 5S (2013) hits about 4 hours of active use, newer and plus versions do better.

The notorious Galaxy Nexus is not listed here, but only under their original battery benchmark as hitting 2h33m. Maybe someone can run the 2.0 benchmark with an Android 5.0 community ROM? ;)

Try this app and run the storage test https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.pcmark.android.benchmark&hl=en

GSMarena has the best battery life database of phones.

I've put together their battery test scores for you, M7, M8, M9

Unfortunately Futuremark doesn't appear to hold the DB for their Pcmark Android battery benchmarks, but here is the application

It's PCMark v2.0.3716

Test with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.pcmark.android.benchmark

We should use this battery test. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuremark.pcmark.android.benchmark
