Qualcomm’s Vellamo benchmark suite has long been one of the best ways to test out a new device. I’ve included it in our benchmark tests for various Android devices over the last year, as it does a great job testing both the CPU’s Javascript and computational abilities, as well as the graphical abilities of the latest Android phones.
Vellamo 2.0 launched yesterday from Qualcomm, and it’s a drastic retooling of the previous app. It uses, as much as is feasible, Google’s Holo guidelines, and is now one of the best ways to thoroughly test an Android device in every conceivable way.
New tests focus on HTML5 video, WebGL, and the speed at which the phone can load and reload graphics-intensive web pages over both cell networks and WiFi. There’s a new CPU test called Metal which uses industry-standard tests to churn the CPU to its fullest potential.
Download Vellamo for Android, and let us know your score. My test results from the Galaxy S III are after the break.
