Surely every active Internet user noticed that in reviews on Youtube or in articles about mobile devices, Antutu (AnTuTu) data is provided. Sometimes it seems that they are almost the key point when buying a device. What is Antutu and how can the program come in handy? This will be discussed in the article.
What is Antutu?
In every mobile device, whether it’s a phone or tablet, there are many components that affect its performance, the allowable load on the processor, the ability to solve several tasks at once, and so on. In short, AnTuTu is a special application for analyzing and testing your smartphone. The creators of this program are Chinese entrepreneurs. The application is very popular, because after analyzing the technical characteristics of the device, your smartphone will be assigned a certain rating, thanks to which it can be compared with modern flagships. Moreover, the test result will tell you how “fast” the device will be in playing 2D and 3D graphics. The working capacity of RAM, the device’s performance margin for the coming years - this will help determine whether it is worth buying it.
What is Antutu for Android
This application works on all modern operating systems: Android, Windows, iOS. For devices with the Android OS, you need to download AnTuTu in the store of games and applications Google Play.
After starting, the user will be offered the smartphone’s tests to choose from: screen analysis, browser speed or simulating a “stressful” situation with a huge load. You can also see the rating of other devices.
And to conduct a full test of your smartphone, the program will offer to download AnTuTu 3DBench. During the analysis, the maximum load on the hardware of the device will be given.
The program simulates the most severe possible scenarios during the operation of the device. Such a load is not easy to achieve even during the launch of several games and programs at the same time.
As you can see in the photo above, during the test, the application will launch high-quality videos and pictures to analyze the operation of the processor, graphics accelerator and RAM.
Test results
After analysis, the program will show how many points your device "earned" and the number of other devices that were able to get around according to the test results.
If after testing your device received an estimate of about 100 to 140 thousand, it means that it is a representative of mid-range smartphones: the device will be able to perform all standard tasks, launch most games at medium and high settings, and have multitasking in dual-window mode. If approximately 70-100 thousand points, then the phone is a budget option. He will not be able to launch most modern games, given the growing requirements for new applications, his performance will last for a year or two. If after the test you see an estimate from 140,000 to 200,000, then you have a top-end smartphone that can view and record 4K video, as well as run all games taking into account the maximum graphics settings.
Output
So, we examined what Antutu is and how to use this program. The application allows you to see the limit of the device’s capabilities and its real level of performance. The program indicates the version of Bluetooth and OpenGL of the device under test, the presence or absence of light and proximity sensors, battery temperature and much more.
As you can see, the application is very useful both for those who are in search of a new smartphone, and for those who want to test an existing one. AnTuTu will indicate processor power and performance level. Based on these data, the user can not make a mistake when buying.
