Moto G4: ANTUTU & GeekBench

AnTuTu’s latest benchmark returns a number of metrics ranked as scores, rather than frame rates or time to complete. We tested with the latest version of AnTuTu across all platforms including Android, iOS and even Windows Phone. AnTuTu returns four top level performance metric results that we are including here: CPU, RAM, 3D, UX (or User Experience) along with a total score.

Platform Benchmarks

AnTuTu is not any kinder than the browser benchmarks toward the G4 duo. We do not feel this picture is as bleak as it seems, however. Every other device on this list features flagship components, however the Moto G4’s are intended to be accessible to everyone.

Geekbench

Synthetic CPU Testing

GeekBench taxes only CPU cores in a handset (not graphics), with both single and multi-threaded workloads.

GeekBench offers a different perspective of performance, as the Moto G4’s edge out Samsung’s Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S5 was a very well respected flagship phone just two years ago, with performance we still very much welcome in a $200 or even $300 smartphone now.
