Abstract
Of course, synthetic tests are by their very nature unable to evaluate the performance of the equipment and the battery life objectively . Everybody uses the phone differently, so the one who likes to play games has different demands, of course, than the user who has the cellphone primarily for work
Nevertheless, we think APPmark 2018 is a pretty good comparison tool .
APPmark 2018 has been in the Play Store since the end of November and has been installed by more than 100 users during the time it has been installed . You can install a 500 MB big package on Android 6.0 or higher
