We get our hands on retail units of Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, so we decided to benchmark them before anything else. As you probably know by now, the duo of 5.7” phablets made their official debut a couple of days ago.
Both newcomers feature Exynos 7420 chipset developed in-house by Samsung with 1.5 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU, 2.1 GHz quad-core Cortex-A57 CPU, Mali-T760MP8 GPU, and 4GB of RAM. Save for the slight bump in RAM, the hardware setup is the same as in Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.
First up is the CPU-centric Geekbench 3 test. Rather unsurprisingly, the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ performed right in line with the Samsung Galaxy S6 family.
Higher is better
AnTuTu 5 painted the exact same picture. Both phablets posted scores in the 70,000 points range - just like their smaller siblings and better than any of their Snapdragon-equipped competitors.
Higher is better
Thanks to the increase in RAM memory, Samsung Galaxy Note5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+ posted eye-popping results in the compound Basemark OS II benchmark. Single-core and multi-core scores on the other hand, were in line with those of the Samsung Galaxy S6 lineup.

GFXBench puts the Mali-T760MP8 GPU found in both phablets to the test. Both handsets posted flagship-worthy results throughout.

Basemark X tests the gaming chops of both smartphones. In line with our expectations, Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ performed just like their more compact relatives from the Galaxy S6 lineup.

The browser-centric benchmarks were performed with the Samsung browser. The phablet duo posted chart-topping scores in both Mozilla Kraken 1.1 and BrowserMark 2.1.

We are already hard at work reviewing Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+. While we are at it, feel free to check out our detailed first look at both devices from a couple of days ago.

i was quite sure why they wont mention note 4 anywhere with note 5 even on any benchmark tests as note 5 loses to note 4 in many terms.Samsung is playing it smart not mentioning hugely massively popular note 4 anywhere with flop note 5 and also postp...
All in all great. However some upgrades over the S6 would have been nice. Same SoC, cameras, and all around chips? I mean they could have at least used the MP10 version of the Mali or something. The Note has always been at least a little more ...
