The MobileXPRT benchmark runs through a variety of tests to evaluate the responsiveness of a device along with its ability to handle many everyday workloads.

The G Flex wasn’t a top performer in the MobileXPRT tests. Comparatively speaking, the phone achieved its best score in the Apply Photo Effects test where it earned third place. In both overall scores, the G Flex came in fifth place out of the eight devices we have for comparison.
