Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 Diary: Big Screen Performance

They say that in the operating instructions for Rolls-Royce cars (let their owners confirm or, conversely,

refuted) it is said about engine powerliterally "sufficient". In fact, the real owner of such a car is unlikely to be interested in exactly how many horsepower the engine of this car can develop. And the company leaves the fighting in disputes to others who are not among its real customers. The point here is not even the secrecy of the company, but the fact that buyers of such equipment have other interests and needs in life. Which their equipment perfectly satisfies without knowledge of specifications. Flagship smartphones, which certainly include the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, have already reached the same point for several years now, after which their owner is no longer so interested in performance in synthetic tests, which still excite the minds of geeks (although every year less and less - the market is becoming commoditized, that is, smartphones are turning from a technological novelty into a mass product like any other).

In fact, when smartphones can alreadyplay (and shoot) video in 4K and even 8K, how critical is the issue of performance to the user? Laptop manufacturers are already seriously considering the transition to more energy-efficient ARM processors (and some are already selling such laptops). We even have a separate article on our website about how ARM processors are replacing Intel. Not that the editorsggsuddenly stops paying attention toperformance and measure it in benchmarks, the value of this information for the buyer is simply becoming less and less obvious. Yes, this is still important in modern performance games - detail and frame rates are higher. This is critical to the game. But all this is true for desktop games. And not all players have top-end hardware, and can we say that its absence interferes with enjoying the game? Hardly.

I have already written in detail about how you can treatmodern smartphone performance, what affects it, and how to improve it (and why), if we are talking about Samsung smartphones. Those who are interested can satisfy their curiosity; we should know that inside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 there is the most powerful Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865+ processor to date with all the ensuing consequences.

Performance measurements of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2

In Geekbench 5.2.5 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 scored 2797 points in multi-core mode and 832 points in single-core mode. At the same time, it is several percent ahead in performance of the flagship smartphone Galaxy S20 Ultra.

In the PC Mark benchmark, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 scores 12,276 points in the Work 2.0 test, 21,860 points in the Storage test, and 9,410 points in the computer vision test.

Work 2 performance test.0 in moderate energy saving and optimized productivity modes show 9511 and 11,796 points, respectively. Which once again confirms a simple truth: the optimal performance mode is called optimal because it provides the best balance of energy efficiency: both high performance and maximum battery life. That's why this operating mode is installed by default in Samsung smartphones, and suits the vast majority of users. And for productive games, of course, it makes sense to activate the maximum performance mode and spare no energy to defeat your opponent.
