Fake clone apps run rampant on the Play Store following AnTuTu ban
An A+ benchmark score for app cloning

Fake clone apps run rampant on the Play Store following AnTuTu ban

Earlier this year, Google removed a number of applications from the Play Store, including multiple benchmark apps from AnTuTu. These apps allowed users to test device performance, but Google cracked down on the tools due to their association with the notorious Cheetah Mobile. It reached the point where users trying to sideload the AnTuTu APK ran into warnings about the dangers it could pose. Despite all that, to this day you can still download apps claiming to be AnTuTu benchmarks from the Play Store — but these fakes are not the real deal.

Google really, really, REALLY doesn't want you to install AnTuTu

Google really, really, REALLY doesn't want you to install AnTuTu

Google's Play Protect service, which helps protect you from accidentally sideloading malware, is now blocking the installation of the benchmarking app AnTuTu. Google Chrome is also warning users that navigate to Antutu's official download page that the site contains "harmful apps." This news follows the application's removal from the Play Store earlier this year

Antutu benchmark applications vanish from Play Store (Update: Antutu responds)

Antutu is one of the most popular benchmarking applications for Android, giving phone and tablet owners an easy way to compare their performance across devices. However, all three Antutu benchmarks have been removed from the Play Store, possibly as part of the larger crackdown on apps from infamous developer Cheetah Mobile.

OnePlus 2 Apparently Caught On Video Ahead Of Monday's Announcement

OnePlus 2 Apparently Caught On Video Ahead Of Monday's Announcement

Michael Crider Michael Crider

It's not in VR or anything, but if you want to see our best look yet at the upcoming OnePlus 2, a five-minute video of the phone has leaked onto YouTube. Well, it's apparently the OnePlus 2 - we can't confirm it, of course, but the low-quality video seems to match the leaked images from a Chinese regulator that we saw earlier this week. Look closely and you can see what appears to be a fingerprint sensor beneath the screen.

The video is mostly silent and the text is in Chinese, but it's pretty easy to follow along as the operator takes in the About page and runs a benchmark.

Galaxy S6 Achieves Monstrously High Benchmark Scores, Leaves HTC One M9 In The Dust

Galaxy S6 Achieves Monstrously High Benchmark Scores, Leaves HTC One M9 In The Dust

Ryan Whitwam Ryan Whitwam

It almost goes without saying, but benchmarks are not everything. These numbers don't always tell you how a device will perform, but they do tell you something. Right now the Galaxy S6 is telling us that Samsung's new Exynos chip is very, very fast. It's putting up AnTuTu scores of nearly 70,000, well above the values produced by devices like the LG G3, Nexus 6, LG G Flex 2, and even the new HTC One M9.

Latest CyanogenMod 11 Code Adds Performance Profiles... And Proceeds To 'Tag' Quadrant And Antutu Benchmarks For Boosted Scores

Latest CyanogenMod 11 Code Adds Performance Profiles... And Proceeds To 'Tag' Quadrant And Antutu Benchmarks For Boosted Scores

Michael Crider Michael Crider

Last year, Samsung got into some hot water for including an automatic "high power mode" for certain apps, dialing up the processor and GPU scaling. There's nothing wrong with that in theory, but these changes were enabled specifically for benchmark apps, giving the benchmarks results that, while not technically incorrect, were artificially inflated and unlikely to be indicative of everyday performance.

Yesterday, popular custom ROM family CyanogenMod added similar state-dependent modes to its latest batches of code, and as soon as the power profiling function was added, specific triggers for the popular Quadrant and Antutu benchmarks were added as well.

AnTuTu Benchmark v4.0 Is Out – Brings A New UI, Improved Benchmark Algorithms, And More

AnTuTu Benchmark v4.0 Is Out – Brings A New UI, Improved Benchmark Algorithms, And More

Ryan Whitwam Ryan Whitwam

AnTuTu is one of the premiere full system benchmarks available on Android devices. The developers claim to have over 100 million users, and they're all getting a big update to version 4.0. Not only does the new AnTuTu look better, but the way it determines scores has been tweaked to better support faster devices.

AnTuTu Benchmark Updated To V3.0, Adds A Whole Bunch Of Things

AnTuTu Benchmark Updated To V3.0, Adds A Whole Bunch Of Things

David Ruddock David Ruddock

AnTuTu is quickly becoming one of the most popular benchmarks on Android, and for good reason: the devotion of its developer to providing timely updates is admirable (even if his talent for GUI design isn't... at all). The bump to version 3.0 brings a host of major changes, including a brand-new OpenGL ES 2.0 3D benchmark, along with a new 2D benchmark specifically for testing (wait for it) 2D gaming performance.

The UI has apparently been updated, too, but that's sort of like spotting the rearranged living room furniture in an episode of Hoarders.

Of course, benchmarks aren't really about aesthetics (well, maybe Vellamo is), so much as they are numbers.
