Speed test

Hi currently using Android phone, just after a hardware speed test app, not a network/download etc one.

Anyone recommend one from the App store?

Thanks but I did say it wasn't download speeds I wanted it for!
I'm currently trying 3dmark.

antutu is the one a lot of reviewers base their speed scores on but have a look at any review on gsmarena.com and they usually give benchmark scores and what app it was they used.

Seriously, Androbench is good for disk speed tests.

Benchmark is the word to look for then.

Geekbench is a good one that is very popular and used by most of the youtube phone reviewers, it checks everything from graphics performance to ram/processor etc.

If you're looking to test the maximum WiFi speed (not your broadband speed) then try WiFi Speed Test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ester&hl=en_GB you'll need the app running on the phone you want to test, plus a PC or another phone/tablet, and it will transfer random data between them to get the speed.

Great app, thank you!
