在这里，在 7 个教程中，我们总是希望每天测试越来越多的设备。最近，我们问自己……为什么我们不也进入Android 业务(Android business)？所以我们做到了，但在能够测量许多Android设备的性能之前，我们必须做的第一件事是找出可用于该平台的最佳和最可靠的基准应用程序。(benchmark apps)经过一些研究和大量(research and lots)测试，我们提出了一个我们认为非常完整的列表。继续阅读以了解哪些是最好的Android 基准测试应用程序(benchmark apps)。
安兔兔基准
AnTuTu是(AnTuTu)Android上最古老的基准测试应用程序(benchmark apps)之一，并赢得了很高的声誉。
AnTuTu 包括以下相关测试：
- 用户体验 (UX)(User Experience (UX)) - 将为您的设备的整体性能打分。
- CPU - 使用其所有内核测量处理器的性能。
- CPU 单线程(CPU Single Thread)- 衡量处理器仅使用一个单核时的性能。这是一项重要的测试，因为许多应用程序实际上并不使用CPU的多个内核。
- RAM - 测试您的 RAM 内存。
- GPU - 在执行图形处理、渲染视频效果和动画、玩游戏或观看视频等操作时测量设备的性能。
- I/Ostorage and database input/output capabilities打分。
运行完这一系列测试后，AnTuTu会给你一个最终分数，你可以用它来比较你与其他Android设备的性能。幸运的是，该应用程序在其排名(Ranking)选项卡上提供了一种非常简单快捷的方式来查看您的设备的性能。
AnTuTu还提供了一组 HTML5(HTML5 battery)测试。虽然我们发现这些测试很有趣并且可能相关，但没有简单的方法可以查看您的设备是否比其他设备表现更好。你得到的只是一些浏览器测试的一系列硬数字。其中包括Javascript 性能得分、使用(Javascript performance)CSS3渲染项目或玩使用HTML5创建的游戏。
Vellamo 移动基准测试
Vellamo是另一个功能齐全的基准测试工具(benchmark tool)。它由高通公司(Qualcomm)开发，该公司还生产智能手机和平板电脑中使用的大部分处理器。
Vellamo的测试分为三个主要类别：
- 浏览器(Browser)- 包含一系列测试，旨在评估您的设备在呈现网页时的性能。本节包括Html5 和 CSS3 测试(Html5 and CSS3 tests)，还包括JavaScript测试，如SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark。
- 多核(Multicore)- 在同时运行多个任务时测量设备的速度。
- 金属(Metal)- 测量您的设备在运行单个操作时提供的性能。
对于每组测试，Vellamo会为您提供总分，以及每个子测试的详细数字。此外(Furthermore)，在基准测试期间，该应用程序还监控系统温度(system temperature)和CPU(CPU frequency)频谱。当您查看分数时，您还可以查看这些详细信息。
Vellamo可以很容易地查看您的设备与其他类似设备相比的性能。此信息在应用程序的“探索分数”(Explore Score)屏幕上显示为排名图表。
极客平台 3
Geekbench 3是一个跨平台基准测试应用程序(cross platform benchmark app)，也可用于Android设备。这个应用程序专注于处理器基准测试(processor benchmarking)，并具有一个区分单核和多核性能的(core and multicore performance)评分系统(scoring system)。
除了为您提供单核和多核性能(core performance)的两个分数外，Geekbench 3还为它运行的每个测试提供了非常详细的结果。这些结果有点难以理解，除非你真的是一个极客，这可能就是这个应用程序名称的原因 - Geekbench。
Geekbench 3还提供了一种将基准分数与其他设备进行比较的简单方法。该应用程序通过其用于单核比较(Single-Core Comparison)和多核(Multi-Core Comparison)比较的两个选项卡提供此信息。
3Dmark Ice Storm 基准测试
3DMark Ice Storm是由(3DMark Ice Storm)Futuremark创建的图形基准测试， Futuremark 是一家在基准测试(benchmarking world)领域有着悠久历史和良好声誉的公司。
Ice Storm 基准测试(Ice Storm benchmark)使用OpenGL ES 2.0并强调您设备上的GPU和CPU 。图形测试以 720p 和 1080p 分辨率呈现，具体取决于您使用的预设：Ice Storm或Ice Storm Extreme。此外，还可以使用Unlimited基准测试，在这种情况下，应用程序会在不使用垂直同步、显示分辨率缩放(display resolution scaling)或其他可能影响最终结果的操作系统(operating system)因素的情况下测试硬件。
在基准测试结束时，3DMark Ice Storm会为您提供一个总分和一组子分数，您可以使用这些分数将您的设备与其他设备的性能进行比较。
3DMark Sling Shot 基准测试
3DMark Sling Shot是Futuremark开发的另一个图形基准测试。然而，这是一个更高级的基准测试，它支持OpenGL ES 3.1 ，并且仅适用于运行(OpenGL ES 3.1)Android 5.0或更高版本的高端设备。
就像Ice Storm 基准测试(Ice Storm benchmark)一样，3DMark Slingshot测量您的Android 设备(Android device)运行的GPU 和 CPU的性能。(GPU and CPU)
PCMark for Android 基准测试
Futuremark 还开发了适用于 Android 的 PCMark(PCMark for Android)，这是一款基准应用程序(benchmark app)，可让您在执行常见的日常任务和活动时测试任何Android 设备的(Android device)性能和电池寿命。(performance and battery life)
目前，PCMark仅提供一组测试，分组在所谓的工作场景中(Work scenario)。使用这些测试，您可以了解您的Android 设备(Android device)在执行网页浏览(web browsing)、播放视频、编写或编辑图片等操作时的表现如何。
就像我们见过的所有其他Futuremark应用程序一样， (Futuremark)PCMark为您提供分数，您可以使用这些分数将您的设备与其他设备进行比较。此外，电池测试(battery test)将让您知道您的设备在正常使用情况下的估计自主性是多少。
GFXBench GL 基准
GFXBench GL(GFXBench GL)应用程序是另一个流行的游戏基准(gaming benchmark)。这是一个跨平台的基准测试，通过运行一套非常全面的游戏测试来衡量您设备的图形性能。
除其他外，该应用程序具有针对高端设备的OpenGL ES 3.1测试、(OpenGL ES 3.1)纹理渲染(texture rendering)等低级测试以及旨在衡量设备在GPU密集型任务运行时的运行情况的电池测试。(battery test)
GFXBench GL Benchmark提供易于使用的界面和应用内设备结果比较。与其他基准测试不同，此应用程序不会为您提供总分。相反，它会选择根据您的设备设法达到的帧数、MB/s or Mtexel/s
Basemark OS II
Basemark OS II是一个成熟的跨平台基准测试应用程序(cross platform benchmark app)。它衡量您设备的整体性能，但也为您提供系统、内存、图形(System, Memory, Graphics)和Web区域的单独分数。
Basemark OS II 基准测试(Basemark OS II benchmark)还提供了一种将您的设备结果与其他设备进行比较的方法。为此，您需要连接到Power Board数据库，该数据库从运行(Power Board)Basemark的设备收集结果。
结论
我们认为，这些是目前可用于Android 设备的一些最佳(Android device)基准应用程序(benchmark apps)。我们希望我们可以选择一两个基准作为最佳基准，但这几乎是不可能的。要全面了解Android 设备(Android device)提供的性能，我们认为您必须运行多个基准测试。其中一些应用程序为每件硬件提供测试，而其他应用程序则专门针对CPU或GPU之类的东西。你怎么看？您是否将其他应用添加到我们的Android基准测试列表中？不要犹豫，使用下面的评论表告诉我们您的意见。
The Best Benchmark Apps For Android Smartphones And Tablets
Here, at 7 Tutorialѕ, we always want to teѕt more and more deviceѕ each day. Recently, we asked ourselves… why wouldn't we аlso get intо the Android business? So we did, but the fіrst thing we had to do before being able to measure the performance of manу Android devіces, was to find which are the best and most reliable benchmark apps available for this рlatform. After some research and lots of testing, we've come up with a list that wе think is prеtty complete. Read on to find which are the best Android benсhmark apps.
AnTuTu Benchmark
AnTuTu is one of the oldest benchmark apps available on Android and has earned itself quite a reputation.
AnTuTu includes relevant tests for:
- User Experience (UX) - will give you a score for the overall performance of your device.
- CPU - measures the performance of your processor, using all its cores.
- CPU Single Thread - measures the performance of your processor when it uses only one single core. This is an important test, as many apps don't actually use multiple cores of the CPU.
- RAM - tests your RAM memory.
- GPU - measures the performance of your device when doing things like graphic processing, rendering video effects and animations, playing games or watching video.
- I/O - gives you scores for the storage and database input/output capabilities of your device.
After running this battery of tests, AnTuTu gives you a final score that you can use to compare your performance with other Android devices. Fortunately, the app offers a really easy and quick way to see how well your device performed, on its Ranking tab.
AnTuTu also offers an HTML5 battery of tests. While we found these test to be interesting and they could be relevant, there's no easy way of seeing if your device performs better than others. All you get is a series of hard numbers for some browser tests. These include scores for Javascript performance, rendering items using CSS3 or playing games created with HTML5.
Vellamo Mobile Benchmark
Vellamo is another full featured benchmark tool. It is developed by Qualcomm, which is a company that also manufactures most of the processors used in smartphones and tablets.
Vellamo's tests are split into three main categories:
- Browser - contains a range of tests designed to evaluate the performance of your device when rendering web pages. This section includes Html5 and CSS3 tests, but also JavaScript tests like the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark.
- Multicore - measures your device's speed when simultaneously running multiple tasks.
- Metal - measures the performance offered by your device when running a single operation.
For each battery of tests, Vellamo gives you an overall score, but also detailed numbers for each sub-test. Furthermore, during benchmarks, the app also monitors the system temperature and the CPU frequency spectrum. When you look at the scores, you can also check these details.
Vellamo makes it really easy to see how your device fares compared to other similar devices. This information is displayed as a ranking chart, on the app's Explore Score screen.
Geekbench 3
Geekbench 3 is a cross platform benchmark app that is also available for Android devices. This app focuses on processor benchmarking and features a scoring system that separates single core and multicore performance.
Beside giving you the two scores for single and multi core performance, Geekbench 3 also offers very detailed results for each and every test it runs. These results are kind of hard to understand unless you really are a geek and that's probably the reason for this app's name - Geekbench.
Geekbench 3 also offers an easy way of comparing your benchmark scores with other devices. The app offers this information through its two tabs for Single-Core Comparison and Multi-Core Comparison.
3Dmark Ice Storm Benchmark
3DMark Ice Storm is a graphics benchmark created by Futuremark, a company with a very long history and good reputation in the benchmarking world.
The Ice Storm benchmark uses OpenGL ES 2.0 and stresses both the GPU and the CPU found on your device. The graphic tests are rendered at 720p and 1080p resolutions, depending on the preset you use: Ice Storm or Ice Storm Extreme. Also, an Unlimited benchmark is available, in which case the app tests the hardware without using vertical sync, display resolution scaling or other operating system factors that could affect the end results.
At the end of the benchmark, 3DMark Ice Storm gives you an overall score and a set of subscores that you can use to compare your device's performance with others.
3DMark Sling Shot Benchmark
3DMark Sling Shot is another graphics benchmark developed by Futuremark. This one, however, is a more advanced benchmark, that supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and works only on high end devices that run on Android 5.0 or later.
Just like the Ice Storm benchmark, 3DMark Slingshot measures the performance of the GPU and CPU your Android device is running on.
PCMark for Android Benchmark
Futuremark also developed PCMark for Android, which is a benchmark app that lets you test the performance and battery life of any Android device, when doing common, everyday tasks and activities.
For now, PCMark offers only one battery of tests, grouped in a so called Work scenario. Using these tests, you can see how well your Android device performs when doing things like web browsing, playing videos, writing or editing pictures.
Just like all the other Futuremark apps we've seen, PCMark gives you scores that you can use to compare your device with others. Also, the battery test will let you know what is the estimated autonomy of your device in normal usage scenarios.
GFXBench GL Benchmark
The GFXBench GL app is another popular gaming benchmark. It is a cross-platform benchmark that measures the graphic performance of your devices by running a pretty comprehensive suite of game tests.
Among others, the app features OpenGL ES 3.1 tests for high end devices, low level tests like texture rendering and a battery test that aims to measure how a device will fare when GPU intensive task are running.
GFXBench GL Benchmark offers an easy to use interface and in-app device results comparison. Unlike other benchmarks, this app doesn't give you an overall score. Instead, it chooses to offer you a scoring system based on the number of frames, MB/s or Mtexel/s your device managed to achieve.
Basemark OS II
Basemark OS II is a full fledged, cross platform benchmark app. It measures the overall performance of your device, but also gives you separate scores for the System, Memory, Graphics and Web areas.
The Basemark OS II benchmark also offers a way to compare your device's results with others. To do that, you need to connect to the Power Board database, which collects results from devices running Basemark.
Conclusion
In our opinion, these are some of the best benchmark apps available for Android devices right now. We wish we could select one or two benchmarks as the best, but that is almost impossible. To get a complete idea on the performance offered by an Android device, we believe that you have to run more than one benchmark. And some of these apps offer tests for every piece of hardware, while others specialize on things like the CPU or the GPU. What do you think? Are there other apps you with add to our list of Android benchmarks? Don't hesitate to use the comments form below to tell us your opinions.
