The OnePlus 2 scores 63719 on Antutu on its second attempt

It’s getting closer to July 27th, the day that the successor to the OnePlus One will launch. Appropriately titled the OnePlus 2, the upcoming handset has been in the headlines for a variety of reason ranging from OnePlus releasing a steady drip feed of its specifications, price promises, and claims that it will sport the latest version of Qualcomm’s much denigrated Snapdragon 810. This brings us neatly to today’s news, the reported Antutu benchmark scores of a OnePlus 2 handset with model number A2001.

These latest benchmark scores show the Octa-core Snapdragon 810, presumed to be the 2.1 version, achieving 63,719, which is well above the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro’s efforts. This is in stark contrast to the benchmark score of 51,460 posted yesterday by an alleged OnePlus 2, which, to put into perspective, is a score that the Snapdragon 801 managed to attain. So why the difference in scores? Well, it could be down to a number of reasons, different firmware, better drivers, perhaps the device used yesterday was a different prototype, perhaps it overheated or was throttled, or perhaps OnePlus tweaked the device in some way between benchmarks.

What does it all mean? Not much. One-off benchmark scores are as useful as knowing the top speed of a car. It’s only under prolonged testing that any quirks and issues will be teased out.

We have no way of knowing why the benchmark scores differ so much until the OnePlus 2 launches a few days from now unless OnePlus decides to comment on the issue.
