Meizu just announced the Pro 6 smartphone and the overall package is pretty impressive. The phone starts at less than $400 and comes with the upgraded Helio X25 chip along with 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a lot of high-end features. Since the phone is now official, we can get some real benchmark results of the device. Thanks to Chinese media, we have the Pro 6 AnTuTu and Geekbench results with Helio X25 inside and the results are more or less similar to what we had seen previously.

So, in the official Pro 6 conference, Meizu had said that the phone manages to score around 101,757 points on AnTuTu. Well, from past experience we know that real life results come out a bit less than the official figure, and the same thing has happened here. The Helio X25 inside the Pro 6 has managed to score 96,169 in the recent AnTuTu test, a good 5500 points below the official figure. But that seems to be acceptable, because under perfect conditions the Pro 6 should be able to break the 100K mark.

This also shows that the Helio X25 is slightly better on AnTuTu as compared to Kirin 950, which manages to score around 93,000 (max). Also, in the Geekbench test as well, Helio X25 outdoes the Kirin 950 inside the Mate 8 with a score of over 1900 on average in the single-core test and 6300 (avg) in the multi-core test. On the other hand, Kirin 950 scores around 1700 and 6200 in the two respective tests.

To be fair, Huawei Kirin 955 would be a better competitor to the Helio X25. Initial benchmark tests have shown AnTuTu results to be around 96-98K, which is at par with Helio x25’s results. However, benchmarks are not always a good indicator of the real life performance of the chip, and hence, just because one chip gets 2K more than the other in a benchmark test, it doesn’t really make it a better performer.

We will have to see the actual performance of the chip in real life usage and how well it is optimized with the software to see which phone offers a better user experience.

The post Meizu Pro 6 AnTuTu & Geekbench Scores Reveal Better Performance Than Kirin 950 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Just yesterday we spotted the Meizu Pro 6 flagship with the brand new Helio X25 chip on the benchmarking website, Geekbench. Now, the same phone has reached another benchmarking app, namely AnTuTu. So, apart from the impressive scores posted by the phone, we also have a good idea about the specs of the device.

According to the first AnTuTu benchmark results of the Helio X25 inside the Pro 6 flagship, the phone managed a score of nearly 100K points. That’s pretty impressive. To be exact, Meizu Pro 6 posted 99,948 points on AnTuTu.

Now, if we are to compare the scores of the Helio X25 with other rival chipsets like Kirin 950, Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890, there are mixed results. For example, the Helio X25 seems to be better than the octa-core Kirin chipset, which was also evident from its Geekbench scores. In the AnTuTu test, the best scores we have seen from Kirin 950 is only about 95K. So, for now, it looks like the deca-core Helio X25 is better than Huawei’s Kirin 950 chip.

Coming to the Snapdragon 820 and Exynos 8890 chips, when we compare the scores, Helio X25 is still quite far behind. Both the chips score anywhere between 120K to 135K, which is far higher than the 100K score posted by the Helio X25. The difference could be mainly because of the slower GPU in the Mediatek chip.

Now, coming back to the Meizu Pro 6, the phone will reportedly feature MediaTek’s MT6797T octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The screen size is unknown but the resolution will be 1080p. As for the cameras, there will be a 21MP sensor at the back and a 5MP shooter up front. The phone will be running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS.

In case you missed, the latest Geekbench score of the Pro 6 flagship is quite impressive, even comparable to Exynos 8890. While we see a drop in the single-core score to 1981, the multi-core score has increased to 6401, thanks to the increased clock speed to 2GHz.

So, it looks like the Helio X25 will indeed be a capable chipset for flagship level smartphones.
