Sony Xperia XZ Premium’s scores on benchmark paved a promising way for a hit. Powered by the Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 835, which is also the processor of the recently released Galaxy S8, it has a great edge with other devices in the mobile market now.

Obtaining a single-core score of 1943 and a multi-core score of 5824 on Geekbench, Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a great improvement over its predecessors. It is now powered by Snapdragon 820 and just got 1724 in a single-core score and 3979 in multi-core score, says NDTV. Sony and Samsung used the same Snapdragon 835 but their benchmark score results are not similar, actually, there is a slight difference only.

Samsung Galaxy S8 got 1915 on a single-core score, which is lower than Xperia XZ, but a higher multi-core score of 6106. GSM Arena pointed out that it may be because Sony has done something remarkable on the clock speeds of the Snapdragon 835 to have a better result on battery life. It can also be said that their difference comes down to their software. First introduced during the MWC 2017 last February, Sony Xperia XZ Premium is expected to showcase a high-quality camera feature as what is Sony is most known for. However, phone users have a lot more to look forward on this device.
