iPhone X users post some SS of your Geekbench and Antutu Benchmarks and show us your beast

That shows how much of a beast you have!
I created this thread to discuss the graphics benchmarks. Somewhat disappointed that the X is hardly faster than my 7, but, quite honestly it could be due to the phone being brand new, and the app not being optimized for the X's display.
Overall I have been happy with the graphics performance.

Honestly, this is just where we’re at now with smartphones. Daily usability performance is at a point of diminishing returns. The last major noticeable difference probably came with the iPhone 6S/6S Plus from the 6/6 Plus. There’s only so fast apps open etc. I think the A11 Bionic chip is mighty impressive but for probably 95% of all apps used on a daily basis for most people, the A9 in the 6S is more than enough. I have always upgraded every year to the new iPhone, but when the 7 Plus came out, I knew that’d be my last upgrade for a couple of years. It’s more than fast enough, water proof, excellent camera, and I love the looks. Theres just diminishingly small reasons to upgrade to an 8 Plus and X. If anything, I’ll sit this one out on the X so Apple has time to improve the tech in the iPhone X. To me, the whole smartphone industry should release new hardware every 2 years, so there could be time to actually offer real upgrades and instead focus of stabilizing and improving software features year to year. This would never happen because hardware is a HUGE source of revenue for the smartphone manufacturers.
Nobody noticed the red tint rather than true white background?
That screen is really pink.

I’m going to jump on the 8 Plus Black Friday deals @ Wally World ($300 gift card) or Target ($250 gift card).
I did return the X due to the PWM screen causing headaches, faceID, that ridiculously narrow screen, notch, and rounded corners. It just feels like a total flop to me.
Can’t agree enough with all of this. I picked up a 6 near the 6S launch and ended up very unhappy with the performance of the 6 Plus Of course, the 6S Plus improved DRASTICALLY and very noticeably.

That’s just the iPad Pro 9.7” camera in a relatively dark room with incandescent warm lights and most importantly, True Tone on the X.

I whole heartedly agree with what you’re saying here. Last year when my upgrade was up I looked at the iPhone 7 and its performance and thought, why don’t I just get a 6S? I did just that and it’s proven to be the best phone decision I’ve made. I saved quite a lot of money and when viewing colleagues 7’s side by side with mine during lunch breaks for general use, the performance difference is almost impossible to spot.
I think it goes to show the difference year on year is pretty minimal and the leaps we saw a few years ago have gotten smaller and smaller.
Yeah I’m with you. I’ve played around with the new iPhone 8 and X several times now and there isn’t a bit of perceivable difference in performance in any task opening up the same apps. I’d have to say the 7 Plus is probably my favorite iPhone going back to the 4S and I’ve had a new one every year since the 4S. I think it’s a combination of speed, water resistance, color/aesthetics, and camera.
