iPhone 12 crushes Android in speed and performance tests

[Chris Smith]

• The first official iPhone 12 benchmark and speed tests show the A14 Bionic has no rival. When it comes to performance, the closest phone is last year’s iPhone 11, not one of the best 2020 Android phones.
• The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro feature the same powerful A14 Bionic chip, and they’re faster than Android in synthetic benchmarks and in real-life performance tests.
• The slightly better Snapdragon 865+ can’t even keep up with the A13 Bionic, let alone the iPhone 12 processor.

The first iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro reviews are out, and the conclusions aren’t surprising. The two phones are the best iPhones you can buy right now, especially if you come from older iPhone generations. But 5G isn’t quite where it should be, especially the faster kind that will deliver speeds that should far exceed what’s available from LTE. The iPhone 12 phones are virtually identical, featuring the same specs, including the powerful A14 Bionic chip. That’s the world’s first 5nm processor, which we already expect to be significantly faster than the iPhone 11’s 7nm A13 Bionic and every Android flagship out there. We did see several A14 Bionic benchmarks that told us exactly how fast the chip is, but now that the reviews are out, we have official speed tests, including real-life performance comparisons. As expected, the newest iPhone crushes Android when it comes to speed. Again. And the device that can deliver the closest performance is last year’s iPhone 11.
