Many brands' flagship phones still use the combination of 1080P screen and Snapdragon 801. Samsung has unexpectedly released the first Snapdragon 805 mobile phone Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE-A on June 18, and it is also Samsung's first mobile phone to use WQHD (2560 * 1440) screen. As an upgraded version of Galaxy S5, it also upgraded its memory to 3G, which is the top performance monster today. How powerful is it? Let's see:
First, let's compare the three specifications of the Galaxy S5 on the market. Undoubtedly, the overall specification of the Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE-A we experience today is the most powerful, and it has improved in SoC, screen, Ram, eMMC flash memory, and network support:
Unpacking
The packaging of the Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE-A (the name is too long, hereinafter abbreviated as S5 LTE-A) continues the style of the Galaxy S5, and the volume is relatively large, which is also the feature of the Korean version ▼
Some key technical features on the back of the package ▼
Open the package, you can see the true face of the S5 LTE-A. Starting from the Galaxy S5, Samsung mobile phones have only one ordinary transparent protective film ▼
Uncover the protective film. From the front, there is no difference between it and the general Galaxy S5 ▼
Compare the new and old flagship, Galaxy S5 on the left and S5 LTE-A ▼ on the right
Look carefully at the electroplating silver edge around the home key, which has become the gold ▼
On the right is the power key. It can be seen that the mold of S5 LTE-A has not changed, but the color has changed (left S5 LTE-A, right Galaxy S5) ▼
The left side of the fuselage is the volume key, and the difference between the two is also the border color (left Galaxy S5, right S5 LTE-A) ▼
Since Qualcomm's SoC and baseband are used, Qualcomm's 4G sticker ▼ will be pasted on the top as usual
There is still a USB 3.0 interface at the bottom. It is worth mentioning that the Galaxy S5 of the "emperor version" has no USB 3.0 data cable ▼ attached
The shape of the back cover has changed to a certain extent. The electroplated logo has moved to the right side of the speaker, while the original logo position has been changed to a "LTE-A X3" logo, which also indicates the identity of S5 LTE-A (left Galaxy S5, right S5 LTE-A) ▼
S5 LTE-A still has a 16 million pixel ISOCELL camera with a led fill light and heart rate detection module ▼ below
Close up of speaker and brand logo ▼
Like other Galaxy S5s, S5 LTE-A can also remove the back cover, which is pasted with a waterproof rubber ring ▼
Removable battery design ▼
The battery is common to other versions of Galaxy S5, with a battery capacity of 2800mAh, made in Korea ▼
Since the S5 LTE-A does not have an antenna, the back cover of the Galaxy S5 is also fully usable ▼
The second layer of packaging is accessories ▼
At a glance, the Korean version of "Conscience" accessories, in addition to the common headphones, power adapters and data cables, the S5 LTE-A is also equipped with an additional battery (with a storage box) and a seat charger ▼
The power adapter has its own wire, and the output specification is 5.3V 2.0A ▼
The output specification of the seat charge is 4.4V 1.7A ▼
The S5 LTE-A is equipped with a WQHD level Super AMOLED for the first time, and the fineness is amazing. If the screen arranged by Pentile in the past will make you feel the font is not smooth, I believe this screen will make you look better ▼
We use a macro lens to compare the screen display effect of S5 LTE-A and Galaxy S5. It can be seen that the S5 LTE-A screen on the left is much more refined (left S5 LTE-A, right Galaxy S5) ▼
system
The S5 LTE-A still uses TouchWiz, and the overall style is not significantly different from the system on the Galaxy S5 ▼
The system is still based on Android 4.4.2, and the kernel version is 3.10 ▼
Setup Menu ▼
A "festival effect" has been added in the setting menu, which will remind the festival in the lock screen and drop-down bar ▼
Christmas holiday wallpaper ▼
The ART mode ▼ in Galaxy S5 has been removed from the developer options
Unfortunately, S5 LTE-A, like G900H, cannot open the new version of Weibo normally
There are many annoying third-party applications in the secondary menu, but most of them can be uninstalled ▼
The camera is not very different in general, but two functions have been added. In the settings, the control of the volume key function ▼ has been added
Video recording adds the capture of WQHD video, that is, the captured video can be displayed point-to-point on S5 LTE-A ▼
performance
S5 LTE-A adopts Qualcomm's latest APQ8084 2.5GHz processor, which is manufactured with 28nm technology. Its core is composed of four Krait 450, and is equipped with Adreno 420 graphics processor ▼
As the world's first Snapdragon 805 mobile phone, of course, we also pay great attention to the performance of S5 LTE-A. Without much gossip, let's see the test results immediately:
32G Rom, can be close to 26G, compare "conscience" ▼
The drive version of Adreno 420 is an unprecedented V84, with a maximum GPU frequency of 600MHz ▼
The available Ram is only 1.53GB when starting up. TouchWiz's "memory destruction technology" is really not old ▼
In the evaluation of Anthare, about 38000 points are at the same level as Snapdragon 801, which plays well. For Anthare, a new test standard is urgently needed
The 3D score is not very good, only less than 9000 ▼
Sunspider for web page javascript test, only 757ms, average ▼
Pi, less than 27 seconds, good performance, but still the same level as Snapdragon 801 ▼
The hardware decodes 1080P 60FPS mp4 video with ref=15, and the average frame number is close to 50 frames. The performance is good, but it is still not significantly better than Snapdragon 801 ▼
From here, we can basically draw a conclusion: For Snapdragon 801 and Snapdragon 805 with the same frequency, their CPU performance is at the same level , Compared with Krait 400, Krait 450 may have made more improvements in power consumption.
Then test the performance of eMMC flash memory. Reading more than 200MB/s and writing more than 80MB/s are also obviously eMMC 5.0 scores ▼
Next is our most concerned graphic test, GFXBench 3.0, In both scenarios, S5 LTE-A performed very well, It can almost reach 150% of Snapdragon 801 under 1080P Off screen, and can reach the frame number of Snapdragon 801 running on 1080P screen under WQHD resolution on screen . Although the performance is eye-catching, we have tested it Tegra K1 , such performance can no longer excite people ▼
Finally, 3DMark. Surprisingly, in this test, the performance of Snapdragon 805 is almost the same as that of Snapdragon 801
Kirin 920、 APQ8084、A7、Tegra 4、5420、5422、MSM8974AC Compared with Tegra K1's graphic test frames, if you don't look at Tegra K1, Snapdragon 805's performance is still quite strong ▼
In the network test, we use the PCCW 4G network (FDD-LTE) in Hong Kong to test. The downlink can reach 2555kB/s, while the uplink can only reach 247kB/s. It seems that the network speed is not much faster than the mainland ▼
LTE network of PCCW, S5 LTE-A card can be used normally ▼
Through the above preliminary tests, we are satisfied with the performance of Snapdragon 805. It has good CPU performance and surprising GPU performance. We will reveal more tests on Snapdragon 805 and S5 LTE-A in the next evaluation.
