With the introduction of new iPhones and Apple's new processor, various benchmarks have declared these phones superior to top Android competitors. However, some Android phones have managed to outperform Apple in certain features. The website 'Tom's Guide,' known for reviewing smartphones globally, has compared these new products with the best Android phones to determine which are the fastest in the world. In the Geekbench benchmark, the iPhone XS Max achieved the highest score, followed closely by the iPhone XS. The iPhone X, despite being over a year old, ranks third. Interestingly, the high speed of the OnePlus phone is notable. The OnePlus 6, which features eight gigabytes of RAM and uses a Snapdragon processor, ranks fourth. This phone costs about $550, which is roughly half the price of the iPhone X, showing only a slight difference in performance and is considered the best Android phone in terms of core speed. In this ranking, the Note 9 is the fifth fastest phone in the world. In the 3DMark Slingshot Extreme benchmark, which relates to graphic performance and 3D analysis, iPhones were outperformed by an Android phone. In this benchmark, the OnePlus 6 achieved the highest score. The Note 9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus ranked third. The iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS placed fourth and fifth in this review. Nowadays, many people try to edit videos using their phones. In this case, the higher the graphics and processor speed, and the better the software and hardware work together, the better the performance. 'Tom's Guide' used Adobe Premiere Clips software to obtain results for this review. Experts from the site attempted to convert a two-minute 4K video into a full HD film using various phones. This task puts significant pressure on mobile phones, and many phones are incapable of such work, while some perform it quickly. In this review, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XS managed to complete this task in 39 seconds, taking first place. Both phones utilize Apple's A12 processor, which employs 7-nanometer lithography for the first time. This product contains 6.9 billion transistors and is the fastest processor ever made for mobile phones. In this generation, Apple has used six cores for processing, with two cores handling complex tasks. According to Apple, the A12 processor is 15% faster than its predecessor. This product has become up to 50% faster in graphical computations than the previous generation. The iPhone X completed this test in 43 seconds. The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus displayed a relatively weak performance against Apple products, taking two minutes and 32 seconds. The LG G7 ThinQ took three minutes and 16 seconds, while the OnePlus 6 took three minutes and 45 seconds to complete the task.
