Ulefone Future Antutu score revealed


ulefone future antutu

The bezel-less Ulefone Future has taken a spin an Antutu, well at least one of the prototype versions of the phone has, and has a score of 51,000 points.

Today Ulefone released the first Antutu score performed by their bezel-less Ulefone future smartphone over on their blog. At 51,000 points the score isn’t the highest, and it’s a little odd that Ulefone have even revealed the benchmark considering the phone that achieved it wasn’t even running a production specification.

Gizchina News of the week


According to the Ulefone blog, the Future that got this 51,000 points was running just 3GB RAM while the final production version of the phone will have 4GB RAM.

The rest of the hardware though is the same as the final production model including the Helio P10 8-core 64-bit chipset with a clock speed of 2GHz and 1080 display. 

We originally saw the prototype version of the Ulfefone future at MWC and Ulefone say that the phone will finally go on sale in April.

    whats the point in posting scores of a phone running half assed hardware -_- !

      Hmmm, they want people to figure out themselves that fully assed hardware will have higher score. Haha, so stupid idea.

    I want to see the 4GB RAM ulefone Future, even more memory.

    • Fabio
      March 24, 2016

      6GB RAM? This is still unrealistic, 4GB RAM is currently the largest, for most people, it should be perfectly adequate. 6GB RAM will make you pay more money, this is not currently cost-effective deal.

    Wow, 3GB and already 51,000?

    • Fabio
      March 24, 2016

      Watch video content, is 3GB RAM. Do ulefone Future versions will have a 3GB RAM? There may be a good price, 4GB RAM current price is still high, particularly ulefone Future contains a borderless screen.

    nop this time no… i need something above 100k

    • Mr.Flying Zoom3rz
      March 24, 2016

      and below 200 bucks right? haha And what exactly you’ll achieve with these 100k points? Gaming? Nah, even 50k phone can serve a reasonable gaming performance. Not to mention that the most of the current Android games are shit, they’re just nothing special. I have K3 Note that scores 47k and all games run smooth, well some of the heaviest not at max graphic but I don’t care.

    Antutu is pathetic on two levels (3 actually).

    First it supposes important things that are unimportant to most (gpu and single core score), secondly the results are literally meaningless because we already know them beforehand. There are a handful of SoCs and they always score similarly (depending on the SoC you chose for the phone). So a score is a signature of a given SoC *nothing else*.

    Sometimes a phone of a given SoC scores more (and that’s my 3rd point), but that’s only because Antutu can be easily gamed by artificially releasing more resources to it.

    So either (1) we will get the score we expect from a SoC (which makes Antutu a machine of tautologies therefore useless), or (2) we won’t get the score we expect in which case the manufacturer is cheating (again a useless score) or (3) we’d actually get a new score because the SoC is new and never been measured again. In which case the score is AGAIN useless because it ranks highly things that mostly don’t matter to anything but gaming.

    And that’s only 3 reasons of why this benchmark should stop being reported. I mean I can draw a picture with arbitrary scores too, will you report my “finding” too? Scientific reasoning goes long ways and Antutu devs have none of it so why bother with them?

    BTW a true benchmark on a consumption OS would test things like longevity and integrity of a process, burst speeds and long term performance (for the few important apps that need it), give big importance to IO speeds and RAM bandwidth … etc.

    Antutu is a toy benchmark that fails to mimic PC benchmarks (even as a PC benchmark it would fail). Not only is it off topic (measures the wrong things by mimicking PC benchmarks), but does so badly… what a joke.

      Wrong the single core performance is more important than multi core! That’s because in day to day tasks you’re usually using only 1-3 cores of the cpu. It’s like the desktop cpu war between Intel and Amd: Amd has a more raw power in their 8 core FX cpus, but Intel has a stronger single core performance and in the end Intel is better.

      • Stef

        Oh my dear friend, that’s factually incorrect. That’s one of my basic points in fact. PC is nothing like mobile. For one android has a lot more processes going on so it doesn’t matter (much) if your app is single threaded, but even that is not true, here’s what Anadtech says about this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9518/the-mobile-cpu-corecount-debate/18

        Android does not suffer by many of the ailments of toy OSes (one of them being single-core fixation), so I have absolutely no idea why Antutu thinks that Single Core matters while all the tests (Androidpit did a similar review too) shows them wrong. It’s as if they’re pushing to make phones with few powerful cores seem more powerful than how they actually are…

          Interesting article thanks! Ok may be I’m wrong then. I hate Antutu, it also thinks that the gpu is the most important component in the phone which is not. 70% of the score is gpu related, this is unrealistic.
