We have already seen the first devices with Snapdragon 800, the Xperia Z Ultra and Galaxy S4 LTE-Advanced, but they are certainly not going to be the last. There are multiple reports that suggest that a significant batch of high-end smartphones will arrive in the coming months with this processor. We have also seen in benchmarks, the fantastic results that the new chip Qualcomm Has obtained. How does this translate, however, to the user experience? We show you a video performance comparison between Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra that allows us to verify it.
Since the presentation of the Snapdragon 800 at the CES de Las Vegas It was clear that this processor was going to be a small revolution in the mobile device sector with its spectacular frequency of 2,3 GHz and that great things could be expected of him. We have had to wait a long time, however, until we can see it in operation in real devices, since its manufacture did not begin until this spring and we did not begin to see smartphones that mounted it, consequently, until last June.
Although we have already had the opportunity to check their fantastic scores in performance tests (both for the Xperia Z Ultra as for the Galaxy S4 LTE-Advanced), it is always positive to be able to see how all that power is reflected in the daily use of our mobile devices and how it could be improved. The video collected on the Internet that we bring you today, allows us to do just this.
El video shows us quite briefly but very clearly the differences between the Snapdragon 800 and one of the best processors of the previous generation by means of a simple comparison of the times that each device needs to start different applications. This test also has the advantage that the devices used are from the same manufacturer, the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra, which helps eliminate other variables that could influence the results (as well as helping any of you who are thinking of getting one of them decide, as long as the huge difference in screen size is not the deciding factor ).
As you can see, the test leaves no room for doubt: the Xperia Z Ultra prove to have a performance spectacular, much higher than the Xperia Z. It must be borne in mind, in any case, that the Xperia Z mounts a processor that can be considered, as we said, of a previous generation (the Snapdragon S4 Pro) and that the differences are probably less spectacular compared to a Snapdragon 600. Anyway, if we think that only 6 months separate both phablets from Sony, each example of the best technical specifications of its time, it is impossible not to be surprised at the enormous evolution that has been achieved.
