The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has just went to sale in China, and reports confirm the phone as the fastest Snapdragon 810 device currently on the market, getting the top score in nearly all benchmarks.
Just a few weeks ago the Mi Note Pro, the most expensive Xiaomi device to date, became available in China.
Consumers whowaited for thelaunch of Pro device get to enjoy higher specifications than those on the standard model incluing a 5.7-inchJDIscreenwiththeQHD 2560 x 1440 resolution, 4GB Ram, and finally the now infamous Snapdragon 810.
Those who have tried the phone have ran popular benchmarking software on the phone revealing the device is currently the highest scoring Snapdragon 810 availablle on the marekt today!
As you can see in the results above, the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro left some big name phones in the dust. The HTC M9 and even the mighty LG G4 weren’t able to beat the Chinese power house, and even the Samsung Galaxy S6 faultered in some tests.
For people people whoare not used tothese benchmarks tests, the Geekbench tries to measure the main processor overall power, Basemark OS looks for the system performance, and both 3DMark and GFXBench are gaming benchmarks.
The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro can be foundfor$659in someauthorized stores, the price of the phone, which can be considered high, still can show its advantages in relation to competitionoffering worse or the same settings for almost the same price.

Benchmarks are good if they are used in context. They are not the be all end all of performance they are a metric that give you a general idea of how a phone will perform. Real world usage can often vary greatly from what you see in benchmarks.
Yes, as most phones with an SD615 are of considerably better quality than those with an MT6752.
same here I never cared for antutu scores and never will.
I can’t argue with that. Generally speaking nonetheless.

That all depends on the brands. Their are several brands using the 6752 which are very good quality including Jiayu, THL and iOcean.
It depends entirely on the phone in question and the other specs. Price and SoC aren’t enough for me to make a decision. What brand is each one? What camera do they have? What are the dimensions? How much RAM/ROM? All of these are just as important as the specs.
If they are basically both well made with equal specs except for soc. Would u take sd615 over mtk67952?
I would probably go with the Mediatek because I think it’s a better SoC than the Snapdragon. But if I liked the phone and specs better I wouldn’t have an issue going with the 615.
True, but for us international buyers there is little option. People generally associate a high benchmark result with a well optimised ROM, the MT6752 varies for instance on Antutu between 40,000-45000 which is quite a difference. However, to go and muddy the waters it’s also well known that most manufacturers cheat by maxing everything out when a benchmark app is used purely to give the best figures possible. At the end of the day I think people should just buy a phone they like the look of with specs/price ratio that suits them as it’s impossible to review every phone that comes onto the Chinese market!
I get your general point which is why I said they can serve a purpose if used in context. But for international buyers it’s not as hard as it once was thanks to sites like this and forums like XDA where people review and share experience with different ROM’s and chip sets.
Getting to your final point I have a good friend here in Thailand that figured out a way to get certain benchmarks (including Antutu) to score more than it should (sometimes double and triple). I’m sure if he figured this out, some of the manufacturers have too.
