Onda v989 breaks Antutu record scores 55,527


A few weeks ago we posted that the Onda V989 octacore tablet could achieve benchmarks of 48,000, well this has been proven untrue with an amazing new score of 55,527 points!

The Onda V989 is a 9.7-inch Android tablet which is similar in design and shape to the iPad Air. Rather than choose a Mediatek processor or Rockchips SoC for their device, Onda have gone down the Allwinner route with the octacore A80 running at 2.0Ghz, this with 2GB RAM is proving to be quite a powerful combination!

Gizchina News of the week


Even with a Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, the Onda V989 achieves an amazing 55,527 points on Antutu in the video below! We have been told that this is a stock tablet that had just been unboxed

Onda V989 scores 55,577 in Antutu

The V989 can be bought for less than 200 Euros and offers Android 4.4 Kitkat, an 8000mAh battery and 4K video playback! Have you got one of these beast tablets? Can you confirm these Antutu claims?

    I don’t trust Antutu benchmarks and neither should anyone else. You know companies would be able to pay for artificially inflated benchmarks and devices would be able to manipulate the data as well….

      The find 7 review and a few other phones they tested in reviews where lower in antutu cause when I bought a phone and my friend bought one our scores where higher. Then what was given in a video review. Find 7 for me and his was a find 7a? They don’t pay money for jut one app to give a score. And there’s more then 1 app that tests this too.

    I was sure that I will buy Onda v975w, but now I don’t know what to do.
    I would really like to have Windows on a tablet, but Allwinner seems great.

    This SoC scored 41k in Antutu using a developer board powered by the mains supply and with a heatsink and fan. Anything higher is a lie and if you really think that a budget chip maker is suddenly going to 40% faster than the best anyone else has to offer, then…

    The Allwinner A80 is suppose to be a beast, and I would love to believe these scores but 55,527 seems a bit high.

    This result is from Antutu v5, see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAA_LaQqt1A#t=23, jump to 11:15 of the video, the benchmark shows 55774 and the app was Antutu v5, since it has that WoW Monster comment.

    It’s damn cheating. Onda has modified gettimeofday in libc.so to report a wrong time. It tooks much more time than other pads to run the benchmark yet get a higher score.
