Top Android phones go head to head in Vellamo 2.0 benchmark

Are benchmarks useful for anything more than bragging rights? It's a question we could debate for hours, but Qualcomm just released their new Vellamo 2.0 benchmark suite and we decided to take it for a spin with a handful of Android devices to see if we could form any drive-by conclusions. Read on to see seven Android devices go head-to-head and find out who comes out on top.

The Download

Grab Vellamo Mobile Benchmark 2.0 from the download link below. If you want to compare your results, make sure you go into the Vellamo settings and set Repeat Benchmarks to average five runs.

The Devices

We ran Vellamo 2.0 on a variety of Android smartphones to see what the results could tell us. I chose the latest flagship devices from HTC, LG, and Samsung, and threw in the Nexus 7 tablet just for fun.

  • AT&T HTC One X (Snapdragon S4 Plus, 4.0.3)
  • Unlocked HTC One X (Tegra 3, Android 4.0.4)
  • T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (Snapdragon S4 Plus, Android )
  • Unlocked LG Optimus 4X HD (Tegra 3, Android 4.0.3)
  • Verizon Galaxy Nexus (OMAP4, Android 4.0.4)
  • Unlocked Galaxy Nexus (OMAP4, Android 4.1.1)
  • Nexus 7 (Tegra 3, Android 4.1.1)

The Results

Each device was rebooted before I started the benchmark and then I let it run five times to get the average score.
