AnTuTu Benchmark 5.2.0

Antutu Benchmark may not have a very attractive name, but it does deliver on its promise to test your device’s performance and give you an accurate estimate of how powerful it is. It also compares you to the rest of the user base via graphs and tables.

Looks okay but we’ve seen better

Visually speaking, Antutu isn’t exactly a looker. The menus are pretty raw and thick, while the graphics used to test the 2D and 3D performance of the device aren’t stellar either. But it’s good enough to do its job and convey the information to you fast and painless. The bar chart is something that deserves a little more praise.

Effortless testing

Antutu Benchmark runs RAM tests, GPU tests, I/O tests, and more. The test is relatively swift and doesn’t take more than a few minutes. You get visual feedback for every test in part. The 2D test scrambles some Apple logos on the display, while the 3D test uses a video-game like environment with a person moving under water in a pool surrounded by ancient statues. The graphics are very poor.

But unlike other benchmarking tools, this one actually lets you submit your score and compare it to others’ results without requiring an account (though you can make one). Also unlike other benchmarking apps, the score submission in this one actually works.

A word about security

While it’s convenient not to create an account for score submission, this also means that a security layer has been removed. Also, you’re not told what information gets passed along to Beijing AnTuTu Technology Limited, and no one can stop you from choosing an inappropriate picture for your avatar (and the same goes for others users’ whose picture you’ll see on your device).
