HELP!! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

My s7 edge 935f variant scores only 100,000 in the benchmark. The 3d garden and the other 3d test totals to only 20,000 while the antutu app shows a standard s7 edge scores around 55,000 in the benchmarks. Is there Somethin wrong with my device. I have a 220 mb update pending. Haven't updated after receiving. Is that the reason?

Just ran Antutu on mine, and I'm scoring 130,000. Install that update and try again.

No need for any help antutu benchmarks are not really a good measure.
Is your phone snappy and smooth?? Does it feel fast??
Not all phones are going to benchmark like others don't worry about there's probably not one thing wrong

Remember that performance takes a hit when you have more things running in background, have things on disk. Many factors. Lots of people bench mark a factory image. Also, benchmark is only as good as its practical use, if you device is fast, can handle what you throw at it and you enjoy it, what does the number matter?

S7 Edge low benchmark score/and gaming performance

Hello everyone! Got S7 edge 1 week ago and used the ordinary benchmarks to see the numbers, and i feel its pretty bad compared to what i see from other devices and compared to other s7 edge devices.. it almost pass 130k on antutu and the 3d perfomance its bad, almost every game i try it lags a bit. Does anyone know that's going on?
I got EU version with Exynos.
Thank you in advance

My score is 131396 (cant upload pic cause i am new in this forum)
What is bothering me is that comparing with another s7 edge devices they have score 134599
and their Gpu Score is so higher than mine and i feel thats why my device lagging at games..
mine at 3d [garden] is 17500 and at 3d[Marooned] 22927 and at the other s7 edge are 3d [garden] 23484 and 3d[Marooned] 33831

Sd820 model scores better on 3d. But your antutu score is normal. Some say they have bad gaming performance on both sd820 and exynos..I'm not seeing it on mine but maybe it's there?! Either way,there is no game that even remotely stresses the GPU on both models yet so it's most likely a SW issue which they will fix in the future.

3k score difference is nothing to worry about. If it was 10-20k I would be concerned.
I got 90k for my S7 Edge S820 Version.
I notice some fps drops on some games. Even on FB messenger basketball gaming, it is lagging
Ohh thnx for ur answer! I see its about cpus the difference on antutu.. what version do u have? And what games u play? I wanna check them to mine

Dont worry about your benchmarks, antutu sucks anyway it's the least consistent benchmark program ever and have unexplained high and low scores on phones. I'm on exynos. Have been trying angry birds 2, epic war 2td and unskilled with no issues.

Heat. Heat is what effects it the most. Try this, throw your phone in the fridge for 10 minutes and then benchmark. See what it scores then.
Some games run awesome and others run like crap. I think it may be optimization issues. Asphalt 8, Clash Royal and Trials Frontier run awesome with zero lag yet Hearthstone has lag all over the place.

I restarted my cellphone and waited for it to cool down (temp), i made it to 120k.
I am still not happy with it, S820 needs some serious optimization with the android 6.0.x. It's slow and lags a lot.
I'm using the Exynox version with no lags whatsoever. All games are running pretty fine. And RAM management is top scoring.
I don't know what happened to OP. You might wanna ping the service centre as there might be some faulty units sold and your's might be one of them.
Poor optimized apps and poor user optimization. nubs

Is my s7edge lemon ?

So I bought a tmobile s7edge after returning my Canadian exynos after reading about various online reports on how overall a better processor the snap 820 is ,also the fact that fm radio is built made it overall a better value for me.
However I tried benchmarking my fine expecting antutu to be around somewhere between 120k to 130 but the best my device gets is 98k (this is after keeping it in a freezer). Even my 3d mark scores are low for a snap 820 device. Quadrant score is somewhere between 34k to 41k Only the geekbench seems to give a normalized score.
I have tried factory format, wiping cache, putting in the freezer over an hour.
One odd thing which I noticed was my gpu clock was stuck at 214 mhz even in the best case scenario( Cpuz pic attached)Could it be that the new tmobile update screwed up gpu clock or is it something else.
I cannot return the phone unfortunately as it beyond 30 days and I hardly doubt that phone could easily be a lemon as I remember once benchmarking quadrant (fresh out of the box) and it gave me a 57k score. What do you guys think what's going on?
Yes, it's. I'll buy it from you for $400. ?
TengTengvn : $900 and it's yours lol
Bump anyone ?
I am still waiting for a solutions folks. Please anyone ?

Lower Antutu score

Hello , i am using the exyynos variant of the s7 edge. When i benchmark it i get a score of 105000 on average.
But the other s7 edge variants get a score of 138000. which is a big differance. Does anyone know y this is happening.
I experiance some log while playing games too.
Thanks in advance

Be sure you bench the phone from a cold state as the score will drop big time if it's heated. Also the lag should go away in two weeks.
turn off all power saving options and other features present in nougat
also, whisper in its ear when you start the benchmark from cold...

It's normal. I get lower score in Antutu Benchmark every device I use like Note 2, Note Edge, S7 Edge. There are too many reasons for that, first is heat. Number of installed app, cache, thumbnails, Whatsapp Files and SD Card fullness are other things to effect Antutu score.
(Antutu Average Score is calculate in best conditions, I mean, it's just theorotical score, not pratically. So, you don't need to think about getting lower score on Antutu )
Like everyone said, you should bench from cold state. Also delete every app running in backround. :good:
like it matters... the overall performance is the most important and I addume you're happy with S7 speed.
life is too short to worry about benchmarks

Galaxy S20 Ultra isn't as FAST as YOU think IT IS!!!

Hmmmm what a difference! This is very bad performance for a 1400 dolar phone. And what's your score on the Galaxy S20 Ultra?

Simply put you are comparing apple to oranges. The Huwaei phone does not have any Google services so not all things can be considered equal here.
Until the Huweai is a real Android phone with Google services than this comparison is null and void.
EDIT: Also, Huweai has been caught doing unscrupulous things before. So gaming the benchmark system would not at all surprise me.
S20 ultra results doesn't make sense to me. You can download an app called androbench to test the storage speed. This is my score from Exynos S20U 5G
I don't put much stock in Benchmarks (particularly Antutu) it really doesn't give you anything - the best way to test a phone is using the phone and feeling how it works - how fast it is - how smooth - etc....
having said that, for grins and giggles I ran Antutu on my S20Ultra and the results were totally different from the video - so, take that video with a grain of salt....on any Benchmark Test - YMMV...

The max i got on my exynos was 527k.
Huge difference to your score. I know benchmarks aren't everything but still...
Does the Snapdragon version heat up? Even just opening the camera for a while I start feeling the phone just a bit warm next to the camera (the processor location)
Was wondering if the SD has the same issue.
I'm considering returning the exynos and import the SD version from Korea or Hong Kong
Snapdragon here, cold as ice.

Just do a search on Samsung Community Forums or on Google and you will find the Exynos s20s run hot! This being just from basic tasks. Samsung really blew it this time with their Exynos chipset. Only way they can fix this is by throttling in a future update which would make the Chipset even slower than it is now vs the Snapdragon. The Snapdragons are much cooler and battery life is fantastic.
If you want to compare performance I'll run 3dmark and you do the same on yours. Exynos vs Snapdragon.

I have never had any heat issues - playing games it might get slightly warm, but that could be because I am holding it close in my hands and my hands are warm, if you know what I mean....I love this phone - it is the beast it was expected to be - original camera issues (focus problems) seem to be better - maybe not perfect but definately better - I am very happy with this phone....hope you can work things out so you are too - good luck.

I'm not saying I'm not happy, but I open the camera for 5 minutes and CPU goes to 65°C +, it's insane. The performance is great, but no "ultra" like the Snapdragon version
I love this phone, but it's like loving a Ferrari with a Fiat Punto engine! The design is amazing, the screen and etc. But I feel like I'm being ripped off by paying 10% more for a phone that's 10% worse.

SD865 performance throttled to match Exynos990

It seems that Samsung might be throttling the SD865 performance to decrease the gap between it and the Exynos version. Check this video to see how the SD S20ultra compares to other SD865 phones in the market right now, such a gap indeed.

This is pretty ordinary if Samsung is throttling the s20 865... Definitely a dog act
I just ordered a G9880 from hong kong... Maybe I should cancel my order..

Any throttling will be via the kernel wont it? Can any developers tell us if there is anything that we should know about???

Most likely a kernel thing. Some, if not all bootloaders in the SD version can't be unlocked, so nothing can be done about it (like flashing a custom kernel that won't throttle the chip)..
Then the gap of battery life will be even bigger. 865 will be even more efficient after throttling
I think you guys being paranoid on the throttling thing. But me and another guy ran 3dmark benchmark on my Snapdragon vs his Exynos and my scores were better. So if they are throttling the SD it still kicking Exynos butt! Get the 3dmark app off playstore and run slingshot extreme and post your scores.

If it's true. Then it might be hard to tell when exactly they started doing it. Might be from the very beginning. Or right after people started signing the petition to stop using Exynos.

I don't think Samsung is intentionally throttling performance of Snapdragon 865 units. Samsung has been traditionally conservative (aka "non-aggressive") in performance tweaking. That means they uses the reference best Q (energy efficiency) tweaks from Qualcomm. However some OEMs (like Xiaomi, Realme and Oneplus) are known to be more aggressive in performance tweaking. They are more willing to sacrifice thermal/energy efficiency to get better perf/scores. It is unfair to compare Samsung devices with them and say "Samsung throttle Snapdragon to make Exynos not to look so bad". (You will probably get the same results when comparing Samsung's older devices with other OEM's older devices.)
Plus, Samsung devices get some crappy special security additions which impair performance and their software quality is kinda mediocre when it comes to performance optimization.
BTW, for S20 series, "Optimized" power mode is actually a power saving mode. Only "High Performance" mode enables full power of the phone.
Some say, if you get the Exynos S20U then what you're really getting is just a S20U "Lite". But we can now see the same on the SD865 version. What they are getting is a SD865 "Lite". Regardless if Samsung is intentionally doing it or not. Seems we are all on the same boat.
Thank you for this post. Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Enjoy your phone, speed tests are absolutely [emoji817] percent worthless!!!

My SD Ultra Lite still faster than a EXYNOS Ultra Lite. Plus it runs cooler and battery life is better. So no I'm not in the same boat. Waving to Mohammed as I leave his boat in my wake.
