AnTuTu Labs Observation Report Semi-Annual

AnTuTu Labs has made a regional ranking statistics for Android-based smart phones, in accordance with the collected records to popularity.

Meanwhile, based on the benchmarking standard of AnTuTu Benchmark 3, we AnTuTu Labs made a strict data analysis to hardware performance of the published Android based smart phones in global wide. And then, we made the hardware performance rank which is based on the data we collected in first semi-annual of 2013.

Through the popularity ranks to smart phones of different territories, we can clearly figure out the preference of users while purchasing a smart phone device.

Sometimes, the preference of purchasing at individual user side comes from the aim of seeking a device with more powerful hardware configuration, or seeking the device with better cost performance.

AnTuTu Labs now just publishes its statistics data without any comments in preference. We think that smart readers can get much valuable and meaningful information beside these statistic sheets, so we will not add any explanations or extended references with any preference into the report, besides the ranking under our data statistics.

Hardware Performance Top 20 Smart Devices in Global
Statistics Period: January 1st, 2013 - June 30th, 2013

In the first semi-annual of year 2013, we are so glad to see the adoption of the “4+4” model Octa-cores CPU to the mobile devices. The adoption of “4+4” model Octa-Cores CPU really strengthen the hardware performance of smart devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S4 takes the first position in the bar chart of AnTuTu Benchmark since its release. 

 
We do like the improvements and upgrades in hardware filed, so the consumers can easily get more powerful devices with regular price or even a lower cost. But we really do not wish any cutthroat competition in hardware industry.

 
What we want to show you is clearly the hardware performance rank itself, based on the data we collected from market, no other preference to any device or manufacturer.
AnTuTu Labs focuses on the solution of providing individual users a simple way to know how good a smart device is. The Labs builds its own benchmarking methods to measure smart devices, and gives users a direct result of hardware performances.

 
After tests with the benchmarking standard of AnTuTu Benchmark 3, we also find out one thing that the hardware manufacturers may have more interest, that is: comparing the senior chipset benchmark scores, the products from Samsung and Qualcomm have achieved scores very close. But, within our observation to smart device hardware, we also noticed that smart phones with senior chipset which is made by Qualcomm take a much larger market share. So we wonder if this means the Qualcomm has been the first provider of senior smart phones chipset at the smart phone market.

 
Now, please let us see which smart phone has won the honor in the first semi-annual of 2013, in the top 20 ranking of hardware performance.

Chart II: China Top 20 Smart Phones in Popularity
Statistics Period: January 1st, 2013 - June 30th, 2013

Within the popularity rank list to China Android-based smart phones market, products from Xiaomi Company take two positions in the top 3. The products from Xiaomi Company have won much more popularity in China market, better than Samsung. We AnTuTu Labs think, the consumers in China are prefer smart phones with powerful hardware performance and a regular price. Otherwise, we checked the benchmark data of the two smart phones from Xiaomi Company, and they all have achieved good scores in our AnTuTu Benchmark.

Although, Samsung Galaxy S4 takes the second position in the popularity rank of China, but this smart phone achieves much larger market volume than Xiaomi 2S.

From the popularity rank chart, we can easily know the difference in popularity between Xiaomi 2S and Samsung Galaxy S4. Meanwhile, comparing the prices and hardware configuration of the two products, we may have a conclusion that: the consumers in China may prefer smart phones with best cost performance while they decide to purchase.

Hong Kong Top 10 Smart Phones in Popularity
Statistics Period: January 1st, 2013 - June 30th, 2013

Chart III: Hong Kong Top 10 Smart Phones in Popularity
Statistics Period: January 1st, 2013 - June 30th, 2013

Looking at the top 5 popular smart phones in the Hong Kong consumer group, we can find out one common feature in these devices: the top 5 popular devices are all have a large size touchscreen.

Samsung Galaxy Note II has a 5.5” display touchscreen, and Galaxy S4 and Sony Xperia Z are all have a 5” display touchscreen, and the other two devices also have screen larger than 4.5”, so we may have a conclusion that consumers in Hong Kong may prefer devices with large screen. 

Meanwhile, we noticed that the brand Samsung and Sony take 70% percent in the top popularity ranking list; HTC and LG take the other 30% in popularity ranking. So, we wonder if consumers in Hong Kong have preference on product brand while purchasing a smart device.
