While high-end Android smartphone processors are powerful, they pale in comparison to Apple chips in certain benchmarks.<\/p>\n

The Apple A10 Fusion chipset in the iPhone 7 is a powerful processor optimised for use with iOS – which shows in performance tests.<\/p>\n

We compiled benchmark data for processors found in modern iOS and Android devices to determine the performance difference between the hardware groups.<\/p>\n

User-submitted data from the Geekbench Browser<\/a><\/strong>, which provides Geekbench 4 benchmark results for both multi-core and single-core performance, was used.<\/p>\n

While the hardware inside the high-end Xiaomi and Huawei devices showed a slight edge over the iPhone 7 in multi-core performance, Apple’s hardware defeats its competition in single-thread processing power.<\/p>\n

Apple’s A10 Fusion processor also boasts almost double the single-core performance of the hardware inside Samsung’s Galaxy S8+, as shown in the tables below.<\/p>\n
