Futuremark has released a list of the best performing Android devices for gaming, everyday tasks, and battery life, based on 3DMark and PCMark benchmark scores.<\/p>\n

The performance score shown for each Android device is the median average of all results received, with obvious outliers excluded. A popular model typically has tens of thousands of results.<\/p>\n

The median is the point at which 50% of scores are higher and 50% are lower. Higher scores come from benchmarking under ideal conditions and from devices tweaked by the user to improve performance.<\/p>\n

Lower scores come from benchmarking with other apps running in the background, when the device is throttling to avoid overheating, or when it’s trying to save power.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough it’s easy to score higher in lab conditions, the median score is a good indication of the real-world performance of each device,\u201d Futuremark said.<\/p>\n

The following table ranks Android devices by 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited benchmark score. 3DMark highlights GPU performance with CPU performance having a lesser influence on the score.<\/p>\n

Everyday performance<\/h3>\n

PCMark for Android measures the performance of smartphones and tablets using benchmarks based on everyday tasks, such as browsing the web, watching videos, working with text, and editing photos.<\/p>\n

These tests emphasize the interdependence of the CPU, GPU, storage, and memory on overall performance, treating the device as a complete unit rather than a set of isolated components.<\/p>\n
