AnTuTu
A widely-cited cross-platform smartphone benchmark that combines CPU, GPU, memory, and UX tests into a single composite score. Useful as a rough ranking, less so for granular comparison.
AnTuTu produces a single number summarizing a device's overall performance. Subscores break down CPU, GPU, memory bandwidth, and UX (touch latency, animation smoothness).
What it captures well
Cross-vendor ranking for general performance. A phone scoring 2,500,000 will feel faster in everyday use than one scoring 1,500,000.
What it doesn't
- Sustained thermal performance. A 5-minute AnTuTu run won't show throttling that bites during 30 minutes of gaming.
- Real-app performance. Some apps are CPU-bound, others GPU-bound. The composite score blurs the distinction.
- Cross-OS comparisons. AnTuTu scores between iOS and Android are not directly comparable due to OS-level differences in measurement.
For a truer picture, look at AnTuTu + Geekbench (single + multi) + 3DMark (graphics) together. Each captures something the others miss.
How to use AnTuTu in a real comparison
A widely-cited cross-platform smartphone benchmark that combines CPU, GPU, memory, and UX tests into a single composite score. Useful as a rough ranking, less so for granular comparison. In practice, this is most useful as one part of a decision rather than a standalone quality badge. Compare it alongside the workload, room, ecosystem, budget, and ownership constraints that apply to you; the strongest published figure is not automatically the best outcome for every buyer.
What to check next
On vsMars, read together so the value has product-specific context. It is especially relevant in .
Avoid the one-number trap
Manufacturers can describe the same capability under different conditions. Compare like-for-like variants, check the unit and test condition where available, and use a head-to-head page to see whether a measurable difference is material for your own use.
vsMars presents structured catalog values to make trade-offs legible. The linked product and spec pages are the right place to inspect the underlying values before buying.
