The phones were put
through a series of benchmark tests by Which? to
measure processor and memory performance, which show how quickly the phone will
allow photo editing, running graphic-intensive games, and using several apps at
once.
Samsung Galaxy S4, the
fastest phone of those tested, has a 1.9GHz quad-core processor which helped
generate its impressive score. The phone received a mark of 3188 on the
industry recognised test, compared to Apple iPhone
5's 1664 score.
Which? consumer watchdog
said: “We put all the handsets through the same tests. Undoubtedly, Apple will
upgrade its next iPhone when it launches this autumn.
"For the moment,
Samsung’s Galaxy S4 is the phone to beat when it comes to speed."
The second fastest phone
was ranked as HTC One, which has a quad-core 1.7-inch processor and 2GB Ram
Which? said the phone
"will provide plenty of punch for phone owners who use Gmail, Facebook,
Instagram and Angry Birds all at the same time."
Sony's Xperia Z came in a close third, followed
by Google's Nexus 4 which had just 39 fewer points. But the fourth place phone
is more than £200 cheaper than any of those in the top three.
The final phones to complete
the set were Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 and the BlackBerry Z10, which came in
fifth and sixth respectively.
