Sony Xperia XZ Premium first tested in the benchmark

Earlier this year at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Sony all of a sudden introduced the world’s first smartphone based on OCTA-core Snapdragon 835 – Xperia XZ Premium. Among other features of the device – 5.5-inch display with 4K resolution and a 19-megapixel camera capable of shooting slow motion with a frequency of 960 frames per second. On sale the smartphone will go until the end of June this year, however, recently the Xperia XZ Premium appeared in the Geekbench database, demonstrating the high performance.

The flagship from Sony has gained in the single core test 1 943 points, and in multi-core – 5 824 points. These results are comparable with other devices based on Snapdragon 835, such as the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ and Xiaomi Mi6, but the latter is still higher performance. The same Galaxy S8 is able to score in Geekbench 2 and 6 008 575 points in single-core and multi-core tests respectively.

It is possible that the Premium Xperia XZ testing was not conducted on the final sample and the start of sales of Sony optimizes the firmware. It is also possible that the cause of underreporting was the display with a resolution of 4K.
