Samsung Galaxy S2 vs. LG Optimus 2X and S2 Benchmarks

Someone technical, can you explain what some of these benchmarks mean? All I know is that for most, the SGSII looks pretty good, lol. Are these tests a good indication of how well the phone performs relative to the other smartphones?

you need to update this benchmark, Optimus 3d(omap4 dual core) is top performer in graphic benchmark and quadrant
 
I agree that Optimus 3D now should be included in this list. Then again, GS2 should be properly tested to update this chart once the final product comes out with completed drivers. It should do better than this.

that would be nice if GS2 with completed driver benchmark. But at the same time, optimus 3d should be on completed drivers and update to 2.3(2.2 right now) like GS2
 
We should take note as well that optimus 3d is also not the final produc and still runs on froyo.
who knows, the final software for optimus 3d might be better than the demo versions.

So proably we can expect the final products of both galaxy s2 and optimus 3d would perform better.
 
Even more fun news. There might be a Tegra 2 variant of the S2 to meet demand in certain regions. For those who want bragging rights over the Exynos, if the final Exynos product doesn't beat it of course, can import a Tegra 2 version. For fun of course.

hopefully the tegra 2 version will go to the US. Even better, put in Omap 4 instead of tegra 2(Wishful thinking)
 
I think some of the performance in Optimus 3D is from its massive 4GB of RAM. So we can't say that OMAP4 is faster than other dual cores yet. Also it looks like Samsung rushed GS2 with Exynos to MWC as half baked phone. They are shooting for Q2 release anyway. So I wouldn't write it off yet until they show the final version with proper drivers and benchmarks on it follow.

Optimus 3d doesnt have 4GB(gigabytes) of ram, they have 4Gb(gigabit). Which is 512mb of ram. Both phone are half baked phone, but Optimus 3d only running on 2.2 and 512 mb. I dont mind taking s2 on tegra tho, I just love s2 screen. Only if LG have the screen, it would be perfect but can have it all. Now gotta pray S2 with Tegra 2 come to the US!
 
Wish lg would make aphone that has optimus black nova display and put the same proprocessor lg optimus 3d has. make the ram 1gb and make the screen 4.3. Thaat would be awesome.
 
The screen on the optimus 3D also looks really nice. The parallax layer can be turned off and doesn't interfere with the screen at all, and it looks great in youtube vids. It is really all about timing and pricing for me, between the s2 and opt 3d. Hopefully the 3d doesn't add much of a cost. The opt 3d would be a great phone even if I try the 3d once and then disable it forever.

I'm not sure if that small "b" really means bits not bytes. That's very rarely used for memory size these days though it's still used for data speeds. So I will wait for official spec confirmation.

I know that Optimus 3D is also kind of half baked phone, but OMAP4 has been around a little longer than Exynos so it should have some advantage in drivers. Even if Exynos doesn't turn out that superior performance than others, I think it will have better power management using variable clocking like Hummingbird does. Nvidia is not exactly know for low power chips.

It is 512MB. End of story. Everyone else lists it as 512MB. The GSMArena page has it as 512MB. Jeesuz.
 
OK. I get it then. I don't know why some media sources reported its spec like 4Gb RAM in the first place to mislead, cause confusions.
 
Sorry, but those benchmarks mean nothing.

iPhone 4 is way down in all of them, and it's by far the smoothest UI, and has by far the best graphics games.

It's all about the software hooks to hardware. Irrespective of what dual core phone you have, it'll be fast to a point, and then it's about how well coded something is.

This is good news for Exynos chip. It looks like the early testing by anandtech from MWC was done with kind of unfinished, not fully optimized GS2.

This is even worse than the Anandtech benchmark. It doesn't have any comparisons to speak of. An ARM made benchmark for an ARM GPU, why wouldn't it run well? The quadrant scores were already decent enough unoptimized so you know at least it's better than last-gen and capable of running this demo. Doesn't say anything at all about how it compares to the Tegra. The Tegra might be able to run this at 150fps in 3D for all we know.
 
I know it's a bit disappointing that they don't have comparison with Tegra 2 in that testing. But it sounds like they have done the same testing with Tegra 2 before and feels that Exynos is performing impressively. Let's wait to see until more tests, benchmarks are done with finished Exynos equipped SGS2. I think it will have edge on power management at least.
 
I wouldn't make assumptions just because it is slightly newer and still delayed. I know everyone wants to get the Exynos chip and have it be better than the Tegra2 for their own...pat on the back... for waiting so long but a practical person would tell you it is all wishful thinking. I would love for the Exynos to blow everything else out of the water too, because I'm planning to get it, and it will make me feel special as well, even if it is all in my head, :)
 
I know this is an old thread but I am going to get one of these.
This is how I compare the two:
First, the Chipsets are mostly on par, except the Exynos has 200 MHZ more. Not that important. Second, the Galaxy S2 might get a better final benchmark score because it has 2.3, but the LG Optimus 2X will get it too in summer.
I am personally going to get a LG Optimus because in my country it is 300 EU cheaper than S2, and they are to me mostly on par. Also, the Mali 400 is quad core with higher clock speed and the GeForce ULV is Octa core with smaller clock speed.
