The Lenovo Y90 gaming phone, which will likely be selling as part of the Lenovo Legion 3 series globally, has made an appearance on Master Lu Chinese benchmarking app with some pretty impressive scores.

The phone carrying the name “Lenovo L71061” is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and has achieved a running score of 1.11 million. The fluency running score is equally nifty, standing at 202.84 points.

The top-of-the-line chip from Snapdragon is supported by an insane 18GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.

Not long ago, prominent leakster Evan Blass had posted a number of images of the device, revealing all of its color variants. Its rear has a pretty cool and unique design with a huge center-aligned module that appears to be built for the cameras, but also packs some elaborate RGB lights and even a twin cooling fan system.

The twin fan system is dubbed Frost Blade Cooling System and has a 300% higher cooling capacity than the previous generation.

Upfront, there will likely be a 6.9-inch Samsung E4 OLED screen with a resolution of 2460*1080, supporting a 144Hz refresh rate and a 720Hz touch sampling rate. The display is surrounded by bezels on top and the bottom, both of which house a front-firing, Dolby Atmos-certified, stereo speaker setup. There are no notches or punch-holes as the top bezel also holds the front camera.

ASUS ROG Phone 5 is set to launch in China and other Global markets on March 10. It has already appeared in several leaks including benchmarking sites like Geekbench. Today the device has appeared on the Master Lu benchmarking platform.

Master Lu, in a Weibo post, has shared the benchmarking results of an ASUS device with model number “ASUS_I005DB”. We already know that the device is the ASUS ROG Phone 5 thanks to the previous leaks. Anyway, the results show that the device scores an overall 947,284 points.

And as the post says, this has got to be the best overall Master Lu score for a smartphone yet. Thanks to a true 18GB RAM, the device scores an exceptional 133,998 points in the memory segment. The other overall scores in categories like CPU, GPU, storage are 321,064, 351,767, and 140,455 respectively.

With this benchmark, we also get a glimpse of the specs coming on the ROG Phone 5. The device in testing has a 2.84GHz Snapdragon 888 running the show, a display resolution of 2448×1080 pixels, and 18GB of RAM that we already saw in a Geekbench.

Speaking of which, the ROG Phone 5 is said to flaunt a 6.78-inch OLED screen. And looking at the benchmark result, we can expect it to be a FHD+ screen. The predecessor had a 144Hz refresh rate but let’s wait and see if ASUS brings upgrades to this like what Nubia did yesterday(Mar 4.).

An exclusive DXOMARK audio review has already revealed that the ROG Phone 5 will have a 3.5mm audio jack, Dual-Front facing speakers with Dirac tuning technology. Other specs of the will likely include Dot-Matrix LED on the rear panel, a 6,000mAh battery with 65W rapid charging.

There is a chance that ASUS might bring a more affordable version(without Dot-Matrix) to certain markets but we will have to wait for the confirmation.

Master Lu, a Chinese benchmarking platform has released the list of top-performing smartphones as well as best phones with UI fluency for the month of November 2020. Both the lists include some of the most popular handsets released last month.

Talking about the performance list first, the China-exclusive Samsung W21 5G leads the chart with 801,264 points. In case you are not aware, it is a heavily customized Galaxy Z Fold2 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+.

In the second place, we have the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition with 796,932 points, followed by the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G with a much lower 486,008 points. Since no other high-end smartphones launched last month apart from the first two, all the remaining eight models are either mid-range or budget devices.

Hence, even the chart for UI fluency includes the same handsets but with some minor changes in order. For instance, the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition (180.70 points) tops this list, whereas the Samsung W21 5G (179 points) comes second.

However, the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G (174.90 points) continues to be in third place and so does the Redmi Note 9 5G, HUAWEI nova8 SE High Edition, OPPO K7x, and Redmi Note 4G at the fourth, fifth, second last, and last positions respectively.

But since the HUAWEI nova8 SE Standard Edition has dropped to eighth place in this list, the vivo S7e captures the sixth spot, followed by OPPO Reno4 Mo Salah Limited Editon in the seventh position.

Having said that, we expect the December 2020 lists to include a little more high-end devices in the form of top model OPPO Reno5 series and vivo X60 series. 

UP NEXT: Chip Battle: Snapdragon 888 versus Kirin 9000

The post Samsung W21 was the fastest, OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 the smoothest in Nov. 2020: Master Lu appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, the HUAWEI Mate40 series made its global debut. These smartphones launched in China today. But ahead of it, Master Lu, a popular Chinese benchmarking platform had revealed the scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ on Weibo in the morning.

The scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ with HiSilcion Kirin 9000 are better than Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. But since the handset is yet to go on sale, the scores may come down as Master Lu Benchmark uses average score rather than the highest score. 

But still, it will beat the older Snapdragon 865. The bigger question is how well it will stand against the upcoming Snapdragon 875, which is also reported to be based on 5nm manufacturing process.

That said, here’s a table comparing the current scores of HUAWEI Mate40 Pro+ and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra.

Anyway, benchmark scores don’t translate real-world performances. Hence, we do not recommend anyone buying a smartphone purely based on the points scored by it on multiple benchmarking platforms.

Like every month, Master Lu Benchmark has released the lists of best smartphones launched in August in terms of performance and UI fluency. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra aka Mi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition leads both the lists, followed by iQOO 5.

Master Lu is a popular benchmarking platform in China. Like AnTuTu, it also releases monthly lists of best smartphones. The company shared the list of best-performing devices yesterday, followed by UI fluency list today on Weibo.

Surprisingly, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra tops both the lists despite it being powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 unlike Snapdragon 865+ (Plus) present in Galaxy Note20 Ultra. Also, the regular iQOO 5 comes second instead of iQOO 5 Pro, which is at the fifth position.

Similarly, the regular Galaxy Note20 ranks third in performance, whereas the Ultra captures fourth place. However, in UI fluency, the latter comes at distant seventh, followed by the former at eighth.

Other notable handsets in the performance list include Redmi K30 Ultra, vivo S7, OPPO K7, realme V5, and Nokia C3 from sixth position onwards.

Unsurprisingly, the Redmi K30 Ultra ranks ninth, just ahead of Nokia C3 in UI fluency. This goes in line with our review, in which we experienced it to be janky despite featuring MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ (Plus) chipset. Xiaomi really needs to optimize the software on this phone.

Last but not least, the vivo S7, OPPO K7, and realme V5 rank fourth, fifth, and fifth respectively in UI fluency.

Oppo launched Ace 2, the first device under the newly formed ACE series of smartphones in China. Like any new smartphone, it underwent Master Lu Benchmark testing to measure its overall performance and UI fluency. To everyone’s surprise, it beat the company’s own Find X2 Pro, which ranked first in UI fluency and second in performance until now.

Hours before the launch of Oppo Ace 2, Master Lu released its quarterly lists of top smartphones and processors based on performance and UI fluency for Q1 2020. The Oppo Find X2 Pro topped the UI Fluency with 183.27 points in addition to being number two in performance with 508,178 points.

But now, we have a new winner in the form of Oppo Ace 2 for both UI fluency and performance. The device has scored 552,124 points and 186.02 points respectively in performance and UI fluency. Thus, it has now overthrown the previous leaders, the Nubia Red Magic 5G as well as Find X2 Pro and has claimed the two crowns for itself.

Anyway, we are yet to see if the Oppo Ace 2 can retain its position throughout the second quarter as there are many devices with similar or better specs on the horizon.

Master Lu, the Chinese benchmarking platform, has just released the 2019 annual report for the best performing smartphone chipsets. The report arrived earlier today (6th January 2020) and features many of the known industry leaders.

According to Master Lu, Qualcomm with the Snapdragon 855+ SoC is the best performing mobile processor of 2019. Huawei’s Kirin 990 5G chipset arrives second. Notably, MediaTek also made an appearance in the listing with its latest Dimensity 1000L 5G processor.

The Snapdragon 855+ takes the lead with a total score of 348,837 points, comprising a GPU score of 84,994 points and a CPU score of 163,843 points. The Kirin 990 5G chip comes in a close second with a total score of 326,101 points, with 160856 points in the GPU score and 165245 points in the CPU score. Furthermore, the third rank of the list also went to Huawei with the base variant of Kirin 990 with a total score of 324153 points. (GPU score of 160805 points and the CPU score of 163348 points).

Further down the list, familiar names like the base variant Snapdragon 855 SoC, Samsung’s Exynos 9820, and even the previous year Qualcomm flagship, Snapdragon 845 chipset, can be found. Additionally, even MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000L 5G processor makes an appearance alongside the mid range Snapdragon 765G and the Kirin 980 SoC. The fact that a mid range chipset made it to the list shows the level of performance output Qualcomm is being able to deliver on its chips found on more affordable handsets.

Unfortunately, newer processors like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC, MediaTek’s upcoming flagship Dimensity 1000 processor and even Samsung’s Exynos 980 chipset are not included in this list. These are the three major mobile processing platforms that will be seen this year (in 2020) and their performance will be benchmarked after official respective launches.

Benchmarking outfit Master Lu has given us quite a number of insights concerning how smartphones stand against each other. We had reported on the ranking of smartphones based on their performance, taking into considerations key parameters like RAM size, chipset type, storage size, processor speed etc. Xiaomi’s Black Shark2 gaming phone stole the show in that ranking. Master LU also published a ranking of smartphone processors with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 855 emerging as the overall best chipset around.

Master LU has now released a ranking of smartphones based on their running temperatures with such details as high and low temperatures, as well as daily high and low temperatures. The ranking covers phones that run through the app between January 1 and March 31. The temperature values come from the average temperature recorded by mobile phones that have run through the Master Lu Android APP. The data excludes models with sample quantity below 1000. It is also screened for abnormal data and robots.

The phone with the highest load temperature is OPPO Find X which can reach 38.35 °C on average, followed by Nokia X7 2018, Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Special Edition, Sony Xperia XZ2, Black Shark Helo Game Phone, all of which are flagships or high-end models. The Nokia 6 also reached 35.77 ° C.

Among the top ten phones with “high” running temperatures, there are three Nokia models; Nokia X7 2018, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6, which is the highest from any OEM. However, we must point out that the temperatures are not too high, as they are below 40%.

On the other hand, the top 10 phones with the lowest average running temperatures have the VivoY81s on top with an average temperature of 26.69°C. Other models include the OPPO A5 with a running temperature of 26.95°C, Vivo iQOO 28.07°C, Huawei Enjoy 9 Plus, OPPO R17 etc.

Chinese benchmarking tool, Master Lu has released its benchmarking results for 2017. We already covered for the top 10 smartphones for 2017 here. This article is for the top Android chipsets in terms of performance.

According to the results, Huawei’s Kirin 970 is the top chipset for 2017. It scored 75,507 points in the GPU test, a slight increase over the Adreno 540 in the Snapdragon 835. For CPU, the Kirin records 48,707 points and this time beats the SD835 by almost 2000 points.

Third on the list is Samsung’s Exynos 8895 that powers the Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note8. Scoring 46,264 and 75,068 points in the CPU and GPU tests respectively, the Exynos 8895 is just a tiny bit behind Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions are occupied by the Kirin 960, Snapdragon 821, and Snapdragon 820 respectively. All three chips powered the flagships of 2016.

MediaTek’s Helio X30 clinches the 7th spot. It beats the Exynos 8890 by no small margin in the CPU score but slightly scores less in the GPU test. The Snapdragon 660 is another mid-range chip that has performed well. It also beats the Exynos 8890 in the CPU test but scores less in terms of GPU performance. Its total score put it above the Kirin 955 and 950.

Little known Chinese benchmarking platform Master Lu says it has created a benchmarking tool for virtual reality (VR) devices.  The Master Lu Mobil VR benchmark version 1.0 is said to be the world’s first benchmark tool for mobile VR and is coming at a time VR gadgets are gaining more popularity. The number of VR headsets in the market continues to rise with the features becoming more sophisticated. A benchmark app that verifies the claims of VR manufacturers is just apt at this moment.

Thr mobile VR benchmark app will test the VR headset in three parts namely; Visual experience, performance support and sensors. The main scene of the new benchmark app is based on Unity 3D engine development which is the same platform used by games developers. Already, the benchmark app has already been tested using a total of 173 model testers, tests and analysis of more than 100,000 data samples in order to determine the credibility of the new benchmark tool. The score will be listed in percentage and the stronger the overall performance, the higher the resolution, the higher the refresh rate and the faster the visual response will be. The performance module’s highest score will be 50%, while visual effect is 20% and the sensor capability will have a maximum of 30% score.

If you are hoping to see the benchmark result of recently launched VR headsets, you may be disappointed as Master Lu has said it won’t be publishing the performance data of the VR they have tested. According to the company, “the user needs real data, rather than laboratory data.” For now, the app only supports Android devices.

Xiaomi’s expected Snapdragon 835-powered Mi 6 flagship leaked in what was said to be its AnTuTu benchmark score. Although the leaked data may be false, but the score shows the potential enormous fire power of the smartphone’s chip. Again, there’s been another leaked data which is said to be the Master Lu benchmark data of the Xiaomi Mi 6.

Well, we still can’t vouch for the authenticity of this recent leaked benchmark score but it seems to have popped up on Xiaomi’s MIUI forum. The data showed the Mi 6 with a monstrous benchmark score of 1103215 points. The CPU alone polled a total of 224855 points. Not much is known about the Master Lu benchmark but we have got earlier Master Lu benchmark data of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (also pictured) which we can compare it with. The difference is just out of this world. While the Galaxy S7 managed a score a little above 100 thousand points back then, the Mi 6 is credited with a score of over 1.1 million points! Perhaps, there is a mistake somewhere because it is just unbelievable.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 also recorded a super high score when its purported AnTuTu benchmark score leaked recently. An indication that the Snapdragon 835 id indeed a flagship chip with immense power. If all these turn out to be true, then we sure would be expecting a super fast device with top notch performance that won’t have many rivals.
