The iPhone 8 and its new A11 Bionic processor is faster than any of its competitors and even some laptops.

Tom's Lab says, "We've put this chip to the test in both synthetic benchmarks and some real-world speed trials, and it obliterates every Android phone we tested."

The iPhone 8 Plus is 59% faster than the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 scoring 10,472 in Geekbench 4, compared to just 6,564 for the Note 8. That score is even more impressive when you consider that the 13-inch i5 MacBook Pro scores 9,213 and the Dell XPS scores 7,159.

Results were similar for graphics. The iPhone 8 Plus again comes out on top with a 3DMark score of 64,412 compared to the Note 8 with 39,834.

To demonstrate how significant this speed difference is, Tom's Lab measured the time it took to export a 2 minute 4K video. The iPhone 8 did it in 42 seconds. The Galaxy Note 8 took 3 minutes and 3 seconds and the S8 took even longer at 4 minutes and 7 seconds.

It's got to be. Samsung phones might be introducing new concepts, but a number of them are so poorly implemented... this is not about arriving first, it's about doing it right as Apple does.

Such pointless discussion. Both have their pros and cons. Personally I feel like I'm way more productive with Android, I can save files to my SD, export, transfer, it's quick and responsive. My last iPhone was a 5s thought, but iOS has a lot of limitations (that are getting better with time, but still a bit off). I have an iPad which I love and would never trade over a Android Tablet, iOS 11 is finally letting the iPad what it always was intended to be... hopefully Apple will put a USB-C port in a iPad Pro and I can finally use it as a full time machine.

You cannot argue with the numbers

Benchmarks are pointless anymore. It's a matter of diminishing returns. I'm using an iPhone 5s. It's responsive and plenty fast enough for almost everything besides gaming. I'll upgrade to a 6s I'm a few months and that phone will be all I need for years. Benchmarks are just a pointless pissing contest in 2017.

Hahaha that’s the definition of “triggered”! I’ll enjoy my life with my daughter and wife while travelling the world. What are you up to?

HAHA has made perfect sense in this conversation. Such harsh language you use to get a point across. You need to ‘chill out’ as you are very sensitive and lash out to anything he says. It just a piece of technology and we are entitled to opinions. Grow up!

My lengthy comment...I have both types, android and iOS. iPhone personal main, Samsung personal work, Moto Z Force work (and yes having 3 is a pain). Both do their own things well. iPhones are very fast and responsive but, very cookie cutter, they stay in the same ball park which in this case is a good thing, but at the same time seems a little bland as far as innovation is concerned, they basically piggy back on other phones ideas which results in them being behind in that aspect, they don't do anything new in the cellphone world but, when they finally implement them at least they do it right, if not better. Android apps have to be designed with multiple phones in mind, where Apple apps are streamlined since they only have one phone setup to particularly worry about. Android does gives you a plethora of options, customizations, settings, better screen in general, more useful 3rd party customizations (although these usually slow the phone down slightly, some have SD slots (I personally think better security since celebs always get there iPhones hacked somehow, but I could be wrong), Samsung has Dex which will use all the RAM, (which I'm kind of surprised Apple hasn't made an equivalent, also what's up with them still using a lightning cable USB 2.0 for iPhones) I know the new Samsung is touting faster internet connection via mobile network, but really no service, for the most part is using that yet.) The best GPS is google maps, but apple can use it, because theirs is, well kind of eh. I don't use the Snapchat type of stuff so neither of the phones really appeals to me in that aspect. I do find my Samsung plays better audio files, such as FLAC without having to jump through hoops. Call quality used to be an issue for iPhones compared to some androids, but I think that's even now. Battery lasts longer on most android devices. So with all that said, for me personally, don't hate, Samsung is my choice, its just does about everything and mostly good enough can be used, (I abhor my Moto Z Force but it is the toughest phone I've ever had , I know some love it). But.... My iPhone though is still my main, why, because even though it isn't as feature rich everything it does do, it does well and to me is more reliable (except for the occasional dropped call, but that could just be my phone). Its not fancy, nothing really new, or cutting edge, looks ugly to me, but it's fast, responsive, holds better resale value, and just works fantastically. I've heard people be called Samsung "fanboys" and "iSheep", and I think everyone that owns either of them are, mainly because if the Note 8/iPhone was horrible people would still buy it because it's a Samsung/Apple, and I don't mind be grouped with either. I'll always have both, because these are the best. I wish Notes where faster, I wish Apple thought outside the box. So, I may or may not be biased. Just trying to look at phones for what they are. This is my personal view that I'm entitled to, wrong or right.

Weird. I can't find any comment from Android users, sorry I mean Apple haters.

Justin Foy - September 22, 2017 at 6:50pm

Destroys Samsung in everything except innovation. How are these metrics going to help brightness or features?

Jony - September 22, 2017 at 6:52pm

Innovation KEK

Haha - September 22, 2017 at 8:21pm

What so innovative about Samsung?

Frank+Jo - September 23, 2017 at 4:29am

Samsung innovation is making junk.

Captain Tugwash - September 23, 2017 at 6:44pm

Samsung should innovate and include a free fire extinguisher...

Top KEK

Gaurav - September 22, 2017 at 5:52pm

Or they will say samsung did it first..and apple is copying samsung in everything..

Haha - September 22, 2017 at 5:59pm

Just like putting in a fingerprint scanner (relax I know Apple didn’t do it first) and portrait mode for taking pictures LOL

Captain Tugwash - September 23, 2017 at 6:45pm

Or copying the iPhone in the first place, like using a copy OS like android, like copying apples ads.. shall we go on?

Haha - September 22, 2017 at 5:45pm

In before Samsung enthusiasts say these benchmarks don’t matter.
